Kinda was boring. I was was sitting next to a 12 year old kid who was litterally shitting bricks, while I had the biggest urge to piss.

I want to believe Lucas was holding a gun to his head off screen most of the two films, mouthing "just like I told you" while Hayden tried his best to salvage a god awful script.

I want to believe.

This, in fact, none of the actors did bad or were wrongly cast for the most part.
It's just that they had bad lines and direction.

Ewan and Hayden were excellent.

Pity the script was written by a demented donut.
>>
>>63983336
4 and 5 were really good
6 wasn't so great, but it wasn't a terrible ending at all
1 and 2 were bad, they were inconsistent with the OT and when judged on their own fail
3 is nostalgic for me, it was the first one I saw in the theatre and isn't anywhere near as bad as the other two.
I'd say it's no worse/better than RoTJ
new one was aight

Ewan was easily the best part about the prequels. It would have been liam as qui gon had he lived longer. And imo the battle between obi wan and anakin was the best scene in the prequels and could have stood against a few OT scenes on its own.

Wow did I really just agree with someone on 4chan?
/thread
>>
>>63983336
I agree OP McGregor did great in the films. Just about every scene he was in was good.

The end where his whole world is crumbling around him both literally and figuratively is heartbreaking

No wonder he was like fuck this shit i'm going to Tatooine live alone and watch his kid like a hawk so this shit does not happen agian

I wonder if Obi Wan would have killed Luke if he started showing signs of going to the dark side at a young age
>>
>>63987142
He might have, because he knew about Leia so there was always another choice.
>>
>>63983374
go away, reddit, and never come back
>>
>>63987142
He had literally shown signs of the dark side from day 1. Thats why yoda was so opposed to him being trained as a jedi to begin with. But qui gon basically said fuck you and convinced them nothing could go wrong.

I prefer McGregor to Guinness tbqh

Ewan was good, but he wasn't that good. He clearly had contempt for the shitty film he realised he was in an can barely keep a straight face in some scenes.

The best thing about the prequels is Sheev hands down. McDiarmid was so fucking good he just went all out and on acting skill alone gave us a character that pretty much rescues the whole trilogy.

>Anyone who says 3 is better than 6 is absolutely fucking retarded.
People have said if for years and they mean it. 6 has great space combat, Palpatine and the Luke/Vader fight. But it also has fucking Ewoks. Endor and the speeder bikes which seem cool to some but make no sense in a fucking redwood forest at high speeds. Ewoks and speeder bikes aside, Endor is so fucking boring. The Tattooine part drags on way too long too only to resolve a fucking cliffhanger from the prior film.

So yeah, 3 is better than 6. Even with the "Noooooo!" and lame "Luke" "Leia" baby delivery. Even with the cringe worthy dialogue at points. Or Anakin turning bad to "save" Padme. It's still got enough other going for it to save it whereas 6 doesn't

I've downloaded other films with Ewan McGregor just because I've craved his Obi Wan but know I'll get made if I watch the prequels. He's the best character of all Star Wars movies.
>>
>>63986684
It's not true though. Type "Anakin vs. Obi Wan" into youtube and watch that scene. Every single line he shouts is so uneven that it sounds like we're watching a really bad fan edit, or like Chef's last episode on South Park.

The contrast between his talent and McGregor's is stunning. The script was definitely bad, but his acting was, too.

I know what's going on here. The most autistic posters on /tv/, the same vocal, annoying minority that comprises the cunnyposting pedos, have decided that trying to force some 'the prequels were good' meme is the only way to drive SW tourists off the board. It's fucking pathetic.

Just deal with it. Is this your fucking home? Like seriously, just do something else or hide SW threads. You can still be a disgusting pedo degenerate and ban evade if that's really what you're into. I really hope all of you faggots commit mass sudoku.

Shit script, shit director and you're in front of a green screen - these are incredibly difficult circumstances to act in. Not saying he's great, but he got a lot of unfair hate due to circumstances beyond his control.

Wonder how it would have turned out if he did try to act more towards the dark side in Episode II instead of holding him back.

Not trolling, not memeing, deadly serious. Revenge of the Sith was the best SW film by a HUUUUUGE margin.

I can't watch the entire film without pausing it at least three times coughing or choking from laughing so hard. Sheev and Anakin's acting are the highlight (for different reasons)

Lucas fucking please. Vader was a dickhead who caused more suffering and committed more atrocities than he could ever atone for.
Luke is the one who brought balance to the Force by defeating evil and convincing his father to repent.

Literally the only saving grace of that scene is Obi Wan's little speech before he leaves Anikin for dead

He was pretty not good in the prequels. I thought maybe it was a fluke or bad directing because he seemed great in that Tatooine scene after his mother died ("IT'S OBI-WANS FAULT! HE'S HOLDING ME BACK! HE'S JEALOUS!"). I later saw Jumper and he was just as terrible in that, too.

Actually the Jedi were a dominant force in the galaxy and the Sith were down to maybe 2 members. Anakin becoming Darth Vader WAS returning balance to the force. Then Luke rebalanced it again.

Return of the Jedi is fucking TERRIBLE, I just rewatched it this weekend after Empire. The drop in quality is insane, it's actually bad.

3 is bad in a lot of ways too but it's still more fun.

The ONLY good part of jedi is Sheev/Vader, and the space battle is ok even though it's a rehash.

Jabba's part is alright as well, but still felt kind of cheesy.

The acting, the Han and Leia chemistry, it takes a steep drop. And the whole movie is rushed. The ewoks are a clear marketing ploy.

If you watch it again and can't see how bad it is, you have no business judging movies.
