They're fun

I think in the future, people will probably remember the prequels more fondly for what they did right and what they tried to do more than what they did wrong.

I'm not sure if the same will be said for Abrams' movie or the next episodes. I mean, I saw Abrams' Star Trek only once and that was when it came out in the theater on my birthday? Did I like it? Sure, it was good. But I'd rather just watch Deep Space Nine. And I didn't even go see Into Darkness.

I didn't.
Sure they had some dumb dialogue, effects and plot contrivances. But I liked the midi-chlorian explanation, and the poetry was just a meme but grounded in George's mythological basis that Star Wars indeed was a saga. Find me one epic mythology that has internal consistency or isn't flawed in some way. For all the shit the prequels get, at least there was one almost coherent story arc across all 6 episodes: the story of the Skywalker family - its rise, fall and redemption.

>I feel like that tone is better pulled off when you have competent actors,

While I agree that McGregor is the strongest of many of the prequels' actors, I never thought Hayden was really that bad at the role he was supposed to play. Some of the complaints about the romance for example were that Anakin came across more as a creeper, a crazy sort of stalker kid and this killed a feeling of genuine romance, and they blamed it a lot on Hayden's delivery, but I think that was probably what George was going for: a cheesy soap opera style in space that gave the feeling of unhealthy overly dramatic obsession. If that was George's actual intention, then Hayden was perfect for that.

Portman's delivery was always kind of bad, but she was actually at her strongest in AOTC if that says anything.
>>
>>64004136
this picture makes me so hard

the look in her eye, you just KNOW they banged

liam neeson is known to be THE most hung guy in hollywood, possibly one of the biggest in the world. his cock has been described as "like an evian bottle", with gargantual thickness that would rival shane diesel and shorty mac. im estimating his size to be at least 8.5" bone pressed, with OVER 7" of girth. he would have absolutely destroyed portman's pussy.

they would have spent hours and hours on foreplay, getting herself wet enough just so she can take it. i can just imagine her begging for it, with liam barely able to force it past the knob, and portman moaning and squirming, demanding him to force it in deeper. she would have orgasm'd within seconds of taking the entire length, being filled and stretched right up to her cervix, her g-spot getting pounded to the rhythm of a bongo. the orgasm would have been powerful, with her vaginal muscles clamping down on liams throbbing monstrosity, her whole body quivering in euphoria..

i bet she still masturbates to the memory of it

>>64004859
>so you admit that there is no originality.

When a style is called "Shakespearian" it usually is meant as something of a compliment or referring to a particular style. What people often forget is that the PT is meant to be a tragedy, everything is building up to Anakin becoming "twisted and evil" and the Republic falling and the Empire rising in its place. If you notice only Phantom Menace ends on a high note, but the victory is kind of hollow, like a last hurrah before the whole galaxy goes to complete shit.

The romance in AOTC is not really supposed to be a story about two lovers who deserve to be together as much as it is about two people who probably should have stayed away from one another like Romeo and Juliet should have if they didn't want their entire world crashing down around them. Padme's vag is the reason the Republic fell. She's like the Helen of Troy of the series or some shit.

This. The idea behind the PT, that the Republic was, in fact, a flawed and decadent society totally incapable of defending itself due to sclerotic politics and Jedi navel-gazing is a solid premise.

Execution was terrible, though.
>>
>>64005097

It's probably because TFA just hits all the right emotional high notes.

The reason stuff like Marvel movies often do well critically and box office wise is because they are "thrill rides". That's one of the problems I find with modern film making, especially in the last ten years, it's just about whether or not the director can tug the right strings and bring out a person's most base emotions, not so much about intellectual depth.

i just went to see TFA this morning, early showing, like 15 people in the theater (France).
i really unironically thought the prequels weren't that bad and had solid music, lightsaber duels, characters and stuff.
From a Creativity stand of point, this new star wars is dreadful, but it's really well executed, poe is based, finn is cool, rey is alright and the old cast was nice to see, that scene were the resistence comes to save the city the first order just attacked was really fun with that shot that follows poe with finn looking at him, they had good chemistry, but story was very close to IV's and not really interesting.
i think it's a better movie than the prequels, but i really hope they extend the universe a bit more, give the characters a bit more soul and push the story forward.

rey fucking up kylo was bullshit and the jedi powers she found and knew how to control after like 5 minutes too.
kylo is a good character. i cant wait to see snoke.

overall it's not better than OT but i'd rank it above the prequels for now, only the last fight felt like the prequels bullshit dialogue and delivery.
>>
>>64005280
I agree completely with pretty much everything you said.

I'd only add that the final fight in TFA was a bit disappointing to that in any of the prequels. Think Duel of Fates.

>>64005280

This is the thing. You can probably say that TFA is better than the prequels in terms of all the execution, but the prequels have a lot of Lucas' original touches, his sense of style and his attention to detail and even now you can look back on them and find things in there that went over your head.

There's a certain intelligence to the prequels that even if it isn't executed that well can still be appreciated. And I can understand why some might rank originality and intellectual depth above a well shot and written film, but whose story they think is rather bland and formulaic.

The prequels weren't even Marvel quality. Obi Wan riding the lizard and spin class lightsaber duels on green screen rope swings are far worse than anything in a marvel movie

Nevermind Tatooine 2.0, only good thing about Jakku was the scale of the crashed star destroyer
>>
>>64005323
yeah it wasn't as good as the darth maul fight, but i mean the dialogue in that fight is shit and when rey just closes her eyes and ends up fucking up kylo when she "finds" the force, despite having a lightsaber 10inches away from her face against a taller and stronger guy is bs.
i get that kylo is supposed to be weak minded, and hurt, but that last fight was dissapointing i agree. still the 2 other hours of the movie were better.
>>
>>64005467
I'd rather George's faulty, original thinking than merely rehashing the universe to appeal to nerds.
>>
>>64005467
personally i think tfa was better because a lot of the prequels are just really really badly written and directed. if lucas was just here to write ideas and let other people expand on it and execute them, it would be ideal. but it's not happening. tfa was a better movie, maybe not in the context of the star wars saga, but if you compare individual movies, i liked tfa more than phantom menace, and there are still 2 movies to come.

That's literally all it is. The prequels were iredeemable garbage from every fucking angle. Atrocious cheesy dialogue, horrible cgi sets and characters, laughable fight choreography, meaningless space politics, no fun allowed characters besides jar jar the retard

Say what you want but every planet George brought us has ten times the soul and detail to it than these generic TFA planets.

Just my 2 cents.

At least the Expanded Universe had Luke becoming the head master of the New Jedi Order, destroying the hot Sheev clones while wearing Vader's armor, fighting the intergalactic eco-terrorists who got mad cause the Great Heep terrorized them in ages past, marrying a hot Dark Jedi red head and wrecking his Sith Lord nephew who thought he was a god while Luke himself ascended to almost prophet status.

So pretty much the OT.

Lucas comes up with the idea and he lets more competent people actually put it on screen.
>>
>>64006379

Yeah. The idea that Anakin helped Sheev become emperor because he believed that it was the only way to stop this war that he had been involved in since his childhood is a completely sound one. Lucas' execution was hamfisted and made him seem ridiculous.
>>
>>64005176
>>64006379

I'm not gonna say Lucas did the best job any director could have done with the prequels. If the quality of execution of the original trilogy collectively is like a 9/10 or 10/10, than the prequels collectively were at best 7/10 in the overall area of their execution.

But, at least Lucas was doing something kind of different with each one. For all his sense of rhyme, none of the prequels can be called a rehash of any of the original trilogy. And when it comes to political or religious stuff. Lucas is far more subtle than let's say the Wachowskis have proven themselves to be.

You are now aware that the time between The Phantom Menace and The Force Awakens was longer than the time between Return Of The Jedi and The Phantom Menace.

The prequels are closer to the originals than to today.

You're just trivializing to serve the purpose of your shitty argument.

>>>ANH: space, tatooine, space, dantooine, space

We didn't visit any planets in ANH other than Tatooine, the Death Star and Yavin 4. Dantooine is never shown at all and neither is Alderaan.

>>TPM: space, naboo, space, tatooine, space

Are you legitimately retarded or something? We visit Tatooine but see far more of Tatooine itself than we ever saw in A New Hope and learn a bit more about the culture of the place at the time of the prequels which almost makes the Tatooine of TPM feel like a different location. Otherwise, all the locations are new and different than anything shown in the Original Trilogy: Swamp planet inhabited by duck billed amphibian sentients who live in underwater bubble cities and by humans whose culture resembles an Italian Renaissance look. And we see the jewel of the Republic, the future center of the Empire, a sprawling city planet that brings to mind some of Bladerunner and Fritz Lang's Metropolis. Even the trade federation ship, while a battlestation like the Death Star is different in its look and feel than the Death Star, which is a weapon of mass destruction and not just a run of mill control ship.

Dantooine isn't shown in A New Hope, it's just mentioned by Leia as a diversion to Tarkin.

Compare RotS (last of prequel trilogy) to TFA (first of sequel trilogy), and contrast that to RotJ (last of original trilogy) and TPM (first of prequel trilogy).

he prequels are comfy as fuck. Fun storytelling, awesome worlds, great characters, awesome action, and meaningful moments. True Star Wars.

I noticed that before 2009, a lot of people liked the prequels. Many were disappointed, but few outright hated them, and like I said, A LOT of people were willing to say they liked them. A thread like this couldn't exist today:
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.72432-Am-I-the-only-SW-prequels-fan?page=3

Ever since Plinky the fat fuck made his reviews, Redditors have constantly linked to them, as if "Another guy said these movies suck so they suck!!!1111 I can't form my own opinions lol1!" He nitpicks the movies so much, his fans don't realize that you can nitpick ANY good movie to that level and it'll look bad.
