I'm 38 and saw the original trilogy on tv, when I was a little kid I thought they were low budget B movies with a nonsense albeit somewhat convoluted plot and laughable special effects (Jurassic Park was my point of reference), never took the time to watch them from beginning to end but caught parts thereof. Naturally, I liked the swords and Darth Vader, despite the dueling being consistently lame, and that was pretty much it, never gave it a second thought.
It was the prequels what really got me into Star Wars, the hype surrounding certainly helped pique my interest. I still enjoyed cool sabers and characters like Maul. I wanted to see less Anakin and more Obi-Wan in the first one, although the N64 podracing game was a superb tie-in. I thought Keira looked more queenly that Natalie (pic related). Duel of Fates is a legendary soundtrack, probably one of the first things I downloaded from the internet.
The second one had yet another cool new saber, more new cool characters and old ones that got cooler. I was already a teen, so I was becoming more interested in the lore and read fan theories about Sifo Dyas, Jar Jar, Yaddle, Palpatine (lol), etc. However it was not something I'd talk about in school. That changed with the Tartakovsky cartoon, everyone saw it on Cartoon Network. That was what got me and my friends really hyped for the third one.
The third one I was expecting, my friends and I bought tickets the day after the premiere (no online sale, no numbered seats), I wore my glow-in-the-dark star wars t-shirt. It was everything that was promised, or at least what we all wanted to see, the best duel ever with an equally epic soundtrack, the story was complete.
I've been closely following Feloni's work since Clone Wars, only skipping the Mandalorian because of Pedro even before the Gina controversy, and Boba because I never cared much for him. I think the Bad Batch is peak storytelling, a sort of Rey done right.
