Be honest, even though the prequels were shit this was the best lightsaber fight.
beats the end fight in ROTS imo
>>63615864
That's not the end fight of ROTJ
inb4 plinkett defense force and MUH EMOTIONS
>>63615864
The music was good. It was more of a dance than anything resembling what you'd see in an actual fight using swords.

inb4 "muh choreography"
The prequels were a political intrigue plot and the original was a straight up rebellion adventure romp.
They're both poorly written schlop, but I'm watching the two side by side and right now abd I'm genuinely finding more entertainment to be had in the prequels. They're WAY more fucking indulgent and aimless than the OT, but I think this allows for some better individual moments, such as Ep. I's saber fight, or the giant fucking fish chase, or Ep. II's Obi Wan vs Fett or the trio duking it out with the monsters in the arena.
no, plinkett doesn't like it so its fucking shit
>>63615864
The prequels are only dogshit because AOTC weighs it down. If the film was more about an investigation on assassins and bounty hunters, leading up to the discovery of the clones, and have most of it set in the slummiest parts of Coruscant, then it could have been good. As for the romance subplot, honestlt I think if it were a lot less glamourous and they had to hide in some shithole, and if Anakin actually had some charisma, maybe the experience could have made their bond more believable.

I wish they had never made those shitty videos because now you can't have a discussion on the prequels without some retard bringing them up.
>We'll take the long way.
Why? Between two Jedi and a dozen armed troops, I think it might have been a smoother trip if they just rushed Maul.
>>63615864
My favorite is the throe room duel in 6.
>>63615864
Actually it was this

>>63615864
Not really. Nobody spoke during the match. That was really lacking in the prequels. The wordplay. It was nice to look at but I wanted Maul to talk some shit to Obi-wan and Qui-Gonn before and during the duel.

>Jedi council believes there might be a sith involved
>Only send two guys, the original jedi who were attacked in the first place while the rest of the jedi do absolutely nothing
>Second movie comes along and they deploy the entire jedi temple to fight robots in an arena on some fuckoff planet
Why not make a light saber thats like 3m long and just poke a nigga from range.
>>63616228
>Second movie comes along and they deploy the entire jedi temple to fight robots in an arena on some fuckoff planet
Don't forget, they also sent that army they knew was being made under suspicious circumstances involving an assassin working for the opposing side, but trusted anyway.
>>63615864
Man Qui-gon looks really emotionally invested in the sword fight
nothing about these movies was good except the score
stop saying otherwise
>>63616205
Remember in Attack of the Clone when Obi-wan told Anakin to go in slowly on the left
That was clever wordplay!
>>63616252
Why not just make body armour out of lightsabers and run into people?
>>63616528
Why not just build a Death Star out of lightsabers and ram it into other planets?
>>63616528
why not just make a grenade that explodes lightsabers
>>63615972
saying muh doesn't invalidate an argument and the position being popular doesn't make it wrong.
>>63616528
why not paint the handle of your light saber in midichlorians and have it fight the enemy for you
>>63616654
WHY NOT USE A HIGH POWERED WATER GUN THAT SHOOTS MIDICHLORIANS INSTEAD
>>63616151
I actually really liked how that one gradually moved from a standard sword fight to a straight up battle with the force. Although it was a bit over the top, it definitely did a good job of highlighting the force at work and their mastery of their respective sides.
EPISODE 1 IS THE PATRICIAN'S CHOICE. PROVE ME WRONG

ROTJ isn't a prequel
It was cool to see once, Jedi fighting at the height of their skill. It was supposed to be something way beyond anything we'd seen in the OT, and it served that purpose well. It was interesting enough just in how fast and acrobatic it was.
The problem came when the fights in the next two movies didn't build on that or become more story driven, they were just more of the same shit.
>>63616826
ye
>>63616064
No. They're all shit. Attack of the Clones just happens to be the smelliest of all of the shit.
Not even close.

>>63615979
This. In the OT, they actually acted like the swords were swords, in the new movies they flail them around like batons.
>>63616873
>It was cool to see once, Jedi fighting at the height of their skill.
People are this deluded.
>>63615864
It's the least justified lightsaber fight.
>>63615864
Not the best fight, but it had the best score.

Close this thread.
>>63616938
Not that anon, but they have a point. This is apparently the way Jedi are supposed to fight. In the OT, you only see an old man, an old crippled man, and a barely trained boy go at it.
It just turns out that the Jedi eschewed the elegance of a kendo-based style to flail around like faggots with glow sticks.
best light saber fight was sheev wrecking like half a dozen jedi knights solo and making stupid faces the entire time
Where's that gif of that scene where they keep spinning the lightsabers not hitting anything?
>>63616075
>I wish they had never made those shitty videos
It was just one guy. And the reason people keep bringing them up is because he brought up a lot of valid points.
>> person A is now longer allowed to have opinion X
Of course they are. It's just that they're more likely to have people disagree with their opinion.
>>63617083
mfw every time
>>63616075
RLM simply articulated what everyone was thinking and knew to be true.
>>63617083
Why is Sheev easily the most likable character in Star Wars?
>>63617020
Thanks, anon. It's nice to be reminded that even if the movies are shit, based Williams may give us another gem.
>>63617210
Maybe because he had goals and passion. Not another lifeless "character"
>>63617091
The prequel fights should have made a more comprehensive use of force powers rather than spinning lightsabers around
>>63617188
I wish people realized this. If you bring up any of the points mentioned in those videos then its just

what did lucas mean by this?
>>63617569
They were trying to out mindgame each other. Obi-wan was basically trying to outplay anakin's ridiculous spin-based offensive.

No. It was done for comedic effect. The audience laughed. I was there. There's even a Jedi force kick in there somewhere. Stop treating Star Wars like it's some goddamn religion.
>>63616228
they didn't have any idea where the fuck Darth Maul was, how could they possibly have sent more Jedi to help?
>>63615968
> end fight
> fight
>>63616713
I think that fight was even referred to as the battle of wizards
>>63615864
Being the only fight with any sort of emotional impact, I'd agree. Most of the lightsaber fights in the prequels were just dancing with sticks.
>Plinkett said that
Yeah he's right.
>>63617271
Yeah that's the one.
>>63617210
because he has realistic goals and actually won
but like literally every person in fucking history some upstart comes along and fucks it all up
>>63617813
What else were they doing? Were they busy sitting around or walking slowly down CGI corridors? Because that seems to be all they fucking do when they aren't involved in a war

>>63617775
When the audience laughs during the most anticipated lightsaber duel of all time, something has gone horribly wrong.
>>63615864
It was the best choreographed of the Prequel fights, to be sure. The laser doors were silly, though, and despite being more visually impressive, it lacked for the emotional impact of the OT duels. And there were too many other elements going on in the overall battle.
