The prequels aren't one thing. There is the phantom menace which is the most irrelevant. Then there is episodes two and three. Episode two is the start of the clone wars and episode three is the end of the clone wars. There are a lot of cartoons set in between those two episodes. The phantom menace is probably the worst since its the most irrelevant and it has way more gungans.

There are good reasons to dislike the new movie though. It is a rehash of a new hope which offers nothing new to the story. They even have a new death star which is going to destroy the rebel base in a certain period of time unless the rebels can destroy it first. There is no attempt at world building.

They had heart, good characters and were creative and engaging. People are just now starting to see what it was Lucas was trying to achieve, unfortunately his legacy has been tarnished by joyless bitter idiots like RLM, but history will come to see the prequels as Lucas' real masterpiece, the way everything is set up and executed flawlessly is a powerful experience. They're not perfect but they're certainly a damn sight better than TFA.

There are definitely some good criticism to be made about Ep 7, and relying too much on the formula of 4 is one of them. At the same time there are many things that the movie does well. Ep 7 plays it extremely well and in the end the movie is pretty damn entertaining. But this place just can't have anything positive, this place simply won't acknowledge the good things about it and only fixates on the negatives. This is to the point that fags are now saying that Eps 1 and 2 are better, which they are objectively terrible movies.

I agree that there are things the movie does well. I would say their rendition of Jacen Solo is one of them. Having the son of Han & Leia isn't original but its not that bad of an idea. On my first watch through I thought the best part might be Finn but then when I watched the movie a second time I realized he isn't actually that great and he is in there for jokes. The whole ex stormtrooper thing isn't that well done as he goes on to kill his own stormtroopers without qualms.

Bounty hunter. One of the best. So good that he is used to clone an entire army. His fight scene with Obi Wan is one of the best in all of Star Wars. Seems to be one of the only non Jedi that puts up a good fight against one.

It's "in" to defend the prequels for a couple reasons.

1. The generation that grew up with them is getting older. We're not so against them, because we're not all old nostalgia boners.

2. The plot in TFA was so boring and rehashed that it's making people remember the prequels more fondly.

All in all, the prequels had a lot of flaws. The acting/casting was bad and they relied too heavily on green screen. But they really showed more of the Star Wars universe than the OT and I love them for that. Plus all the best fight scenes are in the prequels period.

because every argument from the RLM reviews is invalid because it's just copypasta. The thing is, those faggots made reviews alsmost as long as the film themselves, nitpicking on every single frame.

Which is why he should have fucked him with the force without even needing a stupid lightsaber duel.

>>64074126
I think it's less about defending them as good movies, and more about pointing out that even with all the bullshit dialogue and narrative choices, it's still shot like it's Star Wars.
There's something about the establishing shots, the angles, and the fact that the characters actually talk about things other than what's going to happen next, that makes it feel like Star Wars.
Not good Star Wars, but still a sort of Star Wars.

TFA lacks that, in-spite of all its well done action scenes and momentum, and it just makes it feel like an otherwise decent film that should have been released without the Star Wars makeup, but wasn't, for the sake of milking the franchise.

Prequels were shit at characterization but at least expanded the universe scale wise and looked pretty impressive for the time they came out.

TFA kinda had nothing so those who enjoyed the prequels for all they were can now compare them to mcu: muh real starwars edition.

Which begs the question:
Why didn't the Jedi during Order 66?
Weren't they more experienced and powerful than Kylo?

Look carefully at the droid that gets run over by the AAT. That is some N64 shit.

Clones fuck up anyones day, born to fight and kill so it makes sense for them to overwhelm a jedi and fuck them up.

>>64080513
I'm not kidding. We laughed at those things like everyone else. The horrible playground jokes about JJB and Count Doo-Doo.

Millenials all grew up on our elders telling us romantic tales about seeing the OT back in the day and how amazing they were and now that Lucas was finally making the long-awaited prequels, we'd also get to feel the same, well, magic everyone did in 1977.

And then we were let down. Hard.

And if anything, the Harry Potter movies were far more of our Star Wars even though I hated the fuck out of HP and all its fans were willingly molested.

A new hope is in no way a kid's movie. Sure, it's a family rated pulp space adventure. But to suggest it's a kid's movie is absurd.

Serious answer:

The prequels were always derided for being poor, and they still are.

However, it would appear that the new Star Wars movie "The Force Awakens" is not only just as bad, but is also far less original.

TFA, relatively to he prequels, aren't that bad.

Contrarian cunts. The prequels were garbage.
>>64074414
Hayden's alright, but I do agree that he may have been poorly cast. Unlike some (like McGregor) he couldn't quite overcome George's bad writing.

Also, yeah, The Clone Wars has the best Anakin, and is the best thing to come out of the prequels.
>>
>>64074126
Because the general audience liked TFA, so now /tv/ must hate it.
>>
>>64074126
Because we're a bunch of edgy contratian cunts that will go against whats popular at the moment. Right now the new star wars is popular so its only natural to talk shit about it and praise the prequels.
You should know this by now.
>>
>>64074126
Reminder that /tv/ went through periods of defending Transformers films and Family Guy winning strawpolls for best animated comedy series.

Anyone want to talk about the making of videos? There's some rather funny stuff in it.

I wasn't let down. I watch the original trilogy on VHS, before it was specialized.

When the first news of a new Star Wars came out I was already weary because at 12 years old, I had already learned that movies from the 70s and 80s were much better than most of the 90s trash they called blockbuster movies back then.

When I saw that trailer of those soap bar looking droids rolling over green hills on a sunny day, I knew then and there that the movie would be complete and utter shit.

I only went and saw it to talk shit about it on the schoolyard. I knew it was gonna suck and it. It sucked like Batman Forever.

Contrarians try to use the fact that it became much more popular to hate on the prequel trilogy ever since the Plinkett videos made the flaws pretty much part of common knowledge. That in their minds is enough to make them think they are coming from a superior place of authority when they defend those god awful films. Which is only on /tv/ though, everywhere else the only prequel defenders you'll find are 10-12 year old kids.

Of course they weren't, although your nostalgic elders told you they were.
>>
>>64083415
If you use the word "contrarian," you're literally an idiot. It's an invented concept by idiots with childish sensibilities who are too fragile to deal with criticism of mediocre media that has widespread appeal.

It's a troubling manifestation of millennials' mental weakness. Seriously, the only people who would even entertain any "argument" involving the concept of being "contrarian" are weak, lazy idiots who can't deal with criticism substantively.

If it bothers you that much that people criticize mediocre mass-marketed work designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator, like Star Wars, Breaking Bad, pop music, etc., you should find a safe bubble and stay there. Or kill yourself.

Enjoy being a literal mindless consumer plebei/a/n.

>>64083493
No, they objectively are and my mom tried to prevent me from watching any violent movies and wasn't into cinema at all. There were no elders talking to me about movies.

I was though, much more than other kids around me and I always read the actors and directors names and also the date the movies I watched were released.

The 90s were shit, bucko, just accept it.

I'm real sure the average 5 year old does that.

>>64083628
The problem is your argument is based upon the supposition there is actual criticism.

You also assume that trolling doesn't exist. And, no, you can't tell the difference between someone pretending for response and someone legitimately believing something when all you see is text.

Here's the deal about lucas. He's a genius.
The prequels were a absurdist deconstruction of the space opera genre much like how godard's movies are a deconstruction of the classic french thriller genre.
Phantom Menace is literally the Pierrot le fou of the space opera genre.
It's patrician cinema of the highest quality.

>>64076300

I love how hard they're hitting and how Obi-Wan's really going at it. He doesn't waste any time coming out of the gate.

I never realized how well done this duel was. A hell of a lot better than some of what II and III offered.

All these scenes from episode 1 look better than I remember.

Attack of the Clones REALLY shit the bed

>>64074126

>Why is it "in" to defend the prequels these days?

It's literally all trolling.
>>
>these days

People have always defended episodes 1 and 3. Fuck off newfag.
>>
>>64076149
This is because lucas didn't put any attention into the specific designs.
>>
>>64084364
Except that it's back to highly choreographed fighting. If you'd cut out the bit where obi-wan runs at darth maul, you'd not even notice that whole 'going at it' thing. It'd just look exactly the same.
>>
>>64074126
because people like being contrarian faggots. Initially people liked the prequels. Then the contrarians would say they sucked. Eventually everybody else agreed. Then the contrarians started saying it was actually good. It is an endless cycle.
>>
>>64080595
The Jedi probably didn't expect to be shot in the back by the people guarding them with their lives literally seconds prior, as opposed to Kylo walking into an active battlefield. Only Yoda really saw it coming. Also multiple shots (Aayla) vs a single shot at Kylo. And finally, entertainment value (worst reason but still a reason)
>>
>>64085934
>The Jedi probably didn't expect to be shot in the back by the people guarding them with their lives literally seconds prior,

You mean they couldn't sense anything about their intentions
I mean the soldiers had to know what order 66 was before being ordered to do it, otherwise they'd be like "66? what's that?"
>>
>>64083628
From my point of view the contrarians are evil

There's an influx of plebs who are entertained by Transformers and the like, especially from boards like /b/ and /v/
