It seems like one of Kanye West’s pandemic pastimes has been immersing himself in George Lucas’ epic fantasy series — and apparently choosing to weigh in on that discourse. During a recent interview on The Joe Rogan Experience Poscast, he let his feelings about Star Wars get the better of him for a moment:
“And this is about to make me mad, right here, the first time you’ve seen me get mad in an interview. They said that George Lucas’ prequels were worse than the corporate-made Disney Star Wars. Revenge of the Sith? We saw how Darth Vader was made! I watched that like 10 times during COVID. ‘Don’t jump Anakin, I’ve got the high ground!”

Kanye went on to clarify why he felt the prequels were better:
“I’m saying even the prequels are better than anything… and I’m sorry Disney/Star Warsdesign team. No man, this is George. This is his baby. That thing was set in his heart to show us as children the hero’s journey.”
While Kanye West didn’t come right out and disparage the new Star Wars films, he made it clear where his allegiances lie.
