Define Prequel Meaning

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.

The Phantom Menace is a prequel to the original Star Wars movies.

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.

Melvin: "Have you seen the prequel to »The Hangover»?"
Bob: "Have I seen what to WHAT?"

Anakin: I don't like sand.
Obi-Wan: Hello there.
The senate: Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
Mace Windu: Not yet.
Person: Man I love the prequels

Prequel Hater
Term applied to those who can only bash and deride the latest three Star Wars movies, in spite of any argument which may bring up some positive aspects.

It is somewhat comparable to the term geewun when speaking of transformers fans as it is all related to nostalgia and fans who can't stand change or modernization.

Todd: Let's watch a dvd tonight dude, if we've got nothing better to do.

Justin: Sure, I'll get Eddie to hang out too.

Todd: Aight. What'll we watch? Action? Horror? Sci fi?
Justin: Sci fi is good, just don't get a Star Wars flick man. Eddie is a rabid prequel hater.

Prequelize
The act of forcing Star Wars prequel garbage into other Star Wars mediums in an attempt to connect them, thus ruining them.

Prequel Hater
A 45 year old man/woman who cries that the prequels weren’t a fanfic he made up and knows nothing about movie-making. Spits at George Lucas’s life’s work. Thinks ESB and/or ANH is perfect and screams when you don’t call A New Hope “Star Wars”. Bullied Ahmed Best and Hayden Christensen for doing their jobs (Christensen did a great job btw). Also bullies prequel fans. For this definition also see idiot.

Little boy at the Attack of the Clones release in 2002: I liked that movie.
Prequel hater: HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT! That movie RAPED my childhood, I hope Hayden Christensen dies! Fuck George Lucas and fuck you, kid! I will rape you for enjoying that!!!
Little boy: *cries*

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."
