Any Game of Thrones Sequel would have to acknowledge Seasons 7 and 8.... and I think that is just a really bad way to start a series

Prequals are safer, you can pretend Season 7 and 8 never happened (yet)

Same reason some of the Star Wars shows are palatable.

At least with a Star Wars prequels, you have the show The Clone Wars to help even things out a bit

I was never a prequel hater, but honestly the Prequel trilogy is Shakespeare compared to the completely soulless, visionless Sequel Trilogy.

The First Order is where I disengage and remember the legacy book lore fondly.

Yeah watching Anakin commit war crimes while smiling like a scoundrel really warms my heart

Ohh, its revealed seasons 7 and seasons 8 were a Bran fever dream from eating bad meat before bed.

What is dead my never die.
