Why it took me 10 years to watch Star Wars

When I was younger I saw glimpses of the movies. But it was only pretty recently, that I actually watched the original Star wars movies. Let me back up, many years ago, I decided to watch all the star wars movies. I saw they had numbers. So I started with number 1. and it was horrible, it was so bad, I barely made it through the movie and hated it. Even though I rented the other movies I was so thrown off I didn't even watch the others. Of course this was episode one of the prequels. And only recently I watched the originals and found them to be very good. This is why I refuse to watch the prequels, and even the recent remakes. They are just lame hollywood cash grabs to basically make money. Please stop hollywood
