prequel

In literature and entertainment, a sequel in which the events depicted or described take place before the introductory story. This practice originated with George Lucas, who started producing the Star Wars series with the fourth episode in the mid-1970s.

Star Wars Prequel Trilogy

Those three movies that the majority of Star Wars fanboys are always whining about, most likely because of them them being very different from the original trilogy. The fact that both the prequel trilogy and the original trilogy contain some of the same flaws is usually ignored, as well as anything that the prequel trilogy did well.
Guy 1: "Ugh, the Star Wars prequel trilogy make me sick. Anakin and Padme have no chemistry, and all the characters that were supposed to be cool were not developed at all. And what's with CGI Yoda? It's just a mess. Nothing good came from these movies at all."

Guy 2: "Uh, Anakin and Padme have about as much chemistry as Han and Leia, Boba Fett has always been a fan favorite despite having almost no character development whatsoever in the original trilogy. And tell me, how else would they actually show Yoda demonstrating that he's supposed to be a Jedi Master if he was still a puppet? And please don't try and say that the prequels did nothing well at all, the Clone Wars story was quite interesting, we actually got to see what the Jedi were like before they were almost entirely wiped out, and so much was added to the series that we haven't seen before. Such as various characters, races, technology, planets, etc. Just to name a few things."

prequels

A series of star wars movies that were made after the original trilogy but take place before it.

They were hated for having bad writting for more than a decade but then got praised for being the biggest meme goldmine known to man, raising their popularity and making the world apriciate them, leading to them being praised as a brilliant movie trilogy and a meme center alike.
Have you ever heard the tragedy of george lucas the wise?
I thought not. It's not a story r/sequelmemes would tell you. it's a r/prequelmemes legend.
George lucas was a film producer of lucasfilms. He was so powerful and so wise he could simulate the prequels to create memes. He had such a knowledge of filmaking he could even keep the memes he wanted from exhausting their pontetial.
The prequel era of star wars is a pathway to many dank abilities memers may consider unatural
Theys became so memable, the only thing george lucas was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught disney everything he knew, then they killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death... but not himself.

prequel

A contamination i.e. a failed portmanteau. Comes from "pre"+"sequel" of which the latter in turn comes from Latin, "sequela"; "what follows". Therefore it is a non-word à la new/memespeak, as "quel" does not mean anything in any known language and thus "pre"+"quel" means nothing either.
