The Last Jedi’s Kelly Marie Tran praises the Prequel Trilogy for the risks it took

From CinemaBlend:

“In the history of blockbuster cinema, we have seldom seen films more divisive than the Star Wars prequels. Beloved by some and disliked by others, the run of films between Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith remain a debatable topic in general. With that in mind, we sat down with Star Wars: The Last Jedi actress Kelly Marie Tran during the press junket for the latest Star Wars movie and asked for her thoughts on the prequels. As it turns out, she thinks they deserve more credit for taking risks. The actress opened up and said:

I think something about the newer trilogy that people don’t give it credit for is that it really did take risks in different ways. I know everyone hates Jar Jar, but that’s a risk. You know? I think that one good thing about Star Wars from its inception until now is that these films, from the beginning, have taken risks. Even if people don’t end up liking those risks… I do think that just continuing that sort of groundbreaking ability to take risks and push limits in film is something that they will continue and have continued with this new film and hopefully you will see that.”
