Didn't he just turn them to stone by exposing them to sunlight?
I'll post unpopular opinion and say that none of the main cast had a part in ruining the movies. They're performances were shitty because they acted well shitty writing.
A lot of people hate on Hayden Christensen but honestly he was a whiny bitch because the character was a whiny bitch.
Basically George Lucas is the worst thing to have happened to Star Wars. The only good thing he ever did was make the first one.
>>63185495
Agreed. Hayden is no god of acting, but fairly far from bad,as well as McGregor or McSheev.
>>63185190
The prequels had good concepts and some excellent action scenes. The problem was Lucas relying too heavily on cgi and insisting on writing and directing the movies.
>>63185190

Fedora tippers say the same about Christianity now and the Pope is still around
The worst thing about the prequels is Anakin, which sucks because the entire trilogy is about Anakin.
In the original trilogy, Vader is just a chill badass, a competent soldier who doesn't suffer fools. He's not even evil (except when he blew up a planet). He just has a job to do and the dark side is a means to an end.
Rewind to the prequels and Anakin is retconned into a chosen one Jesus figure (this shit ruins literally everything). His characterization is all over the place. In TPM, he's some sort of engineer savant building C3PO (why) and building a pod racer, but that skill is never seen again. He's a whiny bitch who is never shown as being competent at anything. He goes from ratting out Sheev to Mace Windu to killing a preschool in about 15 minutes. The last we see of him is as some simp screaming NOOOOOO in Ep3 then miraculously in Ep4 he's stoic. He never mentions Padme again, which prequel Anakin would have cried about forever.
He should have been a side character in a different story.
>>63187141
ancient means it is that old, not that it was only around that long ago
I still don't fully understand how a slave kid, who's been a slave all his life, found a way to built a robot.
>>63185190
>Chewbacca doesn't tell one of the last Jedi in the galaxy (Luke) about Yoda

Did you forget the fucking nuke he set off in the goblin tunnels and the +2 magic shield he used against Saurons +3 dark magic strike?
>>63187345
Never heard anyone referring to Christianity as an ancient religion senpai, just "religion".
>>63187629
>>Leia remembers Padme even though she died in childbirth
When is this mentioned?
>>63187674
ROTJ, when Luke tells Leia she's his sister.
>>63187320
I'm honestly surprised this plot twist dosen't get more flack. It's not crazy stupid but it really feels like Lucas going "TWIST! LIKE IN THE LAST ONE GUYS?"
>>63187674
Luke asks her if she remember her mother in Return of the Jedi and she says 'yeah a little bit, she died when i was very young'.

Still better than book Gandalf. He throws a fireball once, I shit you not.
>>63187797
>>Yoda tells Luke he needs to come back to finish his training
>>Luke comes back
>>"There's nothing more I can teach you."
Maybe he went back in between the two movies?
>>63187824
except Luke specifically says he came back to complete his training

>>63187883
is that why Anakin and Padme live in a luxurious apartment overlooking the city? I guess that explains why Qui Gon tried to rip Waddo off in the Phantom Menace, huh. It's ok when the Jedi do it.
>>63187673
but Christianity is literally an ancient religion
it has existed since ancient times
>>63187968
>is that why Anakin and Padme live in a luxurious apartment overlooking the city?
anakin wasn't supposed to be doing that
>>63185208
He distracted them and made them look towards sunlight. No magic.
>>63187673
I've heard people say it in a condescending way
>the darth vader suit was already built when Anakin was burned
>the mask comes with a device that aids breathing, even though there are much simpler solutions as seen in the Phantom Menace, why would this mask exist other than for this exact situation
>it was perfectly sized and designed for Anakin in the event he gets burned and needs respiratory aid
>>63187824
This pisses me the fuck off. Because basically Yoda never taught him shit anyway. And he failed to defeat Sheev. Why is this useless green fucker held in such esteem?
You guys seem to love finding problems where they don't exist
>WHAAAAT?! DARTH VADER BUILT 3PO?!?! BUT THAT DOESN'T FIT MY GLORIOUS HEADCANNON WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY SUPERIOR!
>Y-Y-YODA ISN'T ALLOWED TO KNOW CHEWIE HE'S MYSTERIOUS GAWHH!!!

Hi George
>>63188196
A nine year old slave boy building an advanced protocol druid fluent in six million languages is pretty dumb no matter how you slice it f am. Esp when he built it to "help his mom" when the dude is stiff and probably would be awful with physical labor
And it'd really fucking dumb that Han is so skeptical of the force when Chewbacca was literally best friends with the grand master of the order and saw him in action
>>63187797
>>never tries becoming usurping Palpatine and assuming full control of the empire
But he did. He trained Starkiller another super OP force user and it failed. Sheev keeps Vader around more of because he has too and Vader is damn good at his job.
>>63188340
>protocol druid
>Anakin flies into and accidentally blows up a space station with ease as a kid without any knowledge or skill of such an operation
>Later in life he is contempt with living on a similar space station despite the fact a rebel alliance have successfully destroyed a previous and more secure version of it.
>>63188340
He probably found the piece for his languages.
Like he found everything else
In a junk yard
I don't know how to program either but I'll be damned if a USB wipes itself out just because I'm not the original owner
>>63188426
You don't understand. He's a really, really, really good pilot.
>>63188340
Anakin "built" C-3PO in the same sense that that Muslim kid in Texas "built" a portable clock.
Prequels were great. I saw original trilogy first when I was younger than ten.
I loved Attack of the Clones as a kid and I cried when Obi-wan said his 'goodbyes' to his fallen pupil.
Now I'm here shitposting in every SW thread just because SW is forever in my heart.
>>63188340
The only thing I can agree with you is the Han thing.
But who knows. If my best friend told me Jeff from across the street was fucking floating because his meditation paid off I'd still be sceptical
>>63188449
That's how they made him out to be in the Rebels series too.
Watching Vader still as a kick ass pilot was oddly satisfying
>you fought in the clone wars?
>yeah I was one of the highest ranking members of the war council, I oversaw the invasion of several planets, but I've been sitting here on Tatooine jerking off to banthas instead of lending my services to the rebellion
Nice robot, Ahmed.
Can we all at least agree that since the Force is a superpower and they're kids movies, that SW is classified as capeshit?
>>63187340
same thing; boba was a clone of jango as well.
>>63188539
They can't afford to lose another Jedi in battle.
Wasn't he on Tattoine to protect Luke and to train him anyway?
>>63188449
No he isn't
Obi Wan landing on a moving asteroid to evade Jango Fett is ten times more based than anything Anaking ever fucking did
>>63188599
The point being that Obi-wan was retconned from a washed up old monk overseeing his lost friend's child, to a high ranking general that was an integral part of executing the war. It kinda loses the symbolic impact of Obi-wan being somebody who had gone through the journey Luke was about to embark on.
Good relations with the wookies, I have.
>yoda fugs chewy
>>63188238
>implying you neckbeards arguing about your precious lore aren't the fedora tippers
We see protocol droids that look exactly like C3PO too, which means all babby annie did was follow the instructions and put one together.

the empire should have lasted for much longer to make the galaxy suffering under them that much worse. it really only lasted 30 years.
>>63185208
The trolls turned into stone because they cant be in the sunlight, Gandalf didnt use magic for that.
>>63189483
This is probably the most annoying thing about the prequels to me. The Jedi are shown to be these badass, almost omniscient, warriors, but at the same time their level of incompetence is astounding.
A good example is how Yoda, supposedly the most knowledgeable Jedi in the ways of the force, was blind to the fact that sheev was a sith lord, while all this evil shit going down is pointing right at him. Then in the order 66 scene he somehow can sense that his clone trooper buddies were about to execute him.
