>>

no, they're still shit
7 is better than all of them
>>
>>64097007

They look worse now, actually. TFA shows how good the prequels could have been if GL just gotten somebody to polish his script a bit.
>>
>>64097007
They will never be even close to as bad as all the contrarians/trolls try to sell TFA as.
>>
>>64097052
This, you contrarian half wit. Execution trumps "originality," since that's the basis of the shitty argument you will fall back on, literally always

Worse in comparison. And just so fucking unremarkable, lifeless and boring.

shit on VII all you want, the dialog was absolute garbage in the prequels.

Nah, Guardians of the Galaxy: The Force Awakens Into Darkness is the worse out of them all.
>>
>>64097052
7 isnt even a star wars movie m8.
>>
>>64097007

I never thought the prequels were that bad. Worse than the originals, yes. But not horrible or a fuck up.

Now this Episode VII is.
>>
>>64097007
TFA was way better than any of the prequels, even if it was just a rehash of ANH
>>
>>64097104
This.

It's a Marvel meme flick with stupid jokes and action omg so epic xDDD

You're correct they look completely bad now.

They're so desperate to make jokes they even made the villian a joke himself.

They actually devoted time to explaining who Boba Fett's DAD was.

That's beyond bad...that's like some weird experiment in satire.

i remember i enjoyed it because of cool spaceship and lightsaber battle, but now i've just realized how terrible it is in terms of acting, characters, and dialogue
>>
>>64097104

Yeah star wars should be about disputes with the trade federation, intergalatic senators, forbidden love stories and video game fights.

TFA really didn't have enough of that.

The prequels were much better written, they had actual characters and story, not a bunch of memes and one-liners that lack any emotion or coherence. Luke is a cliched everyboy "hero" that goes through an absurdly rapid transformation between the fifth and the sixth episodes. Anakin's emotional instability and his exposure as a psychopath are gripping; and his doomed relationship with Padme is touching. In the "original trilogy" Han, Leia, Darth Vader and Obi Wan are complete meme characters, nothing about them is remotely believable or human. And why doesn't anyone care about deaths in those movies? Leia's planet destruction, Luke's stepparents' death, all of the blown up rebels--the list could go on--all the deaths are forgotten moments later.

As for direction, the movies from the "original trilogy" were mostly incoherent, badly edited and full of logical problems. The prequel trilogy is a work of a "vulgar auteur".

I feel neutral about the series overall, and honestly don't care about trolling or contrarianism. Here are my sincere rankings:

1. "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones"
2. "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace"
3. "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith"
4. "Star Wars"
5. "The Empire Strikes Back"
6. "Return of the Jedi"
7.
8. "The Force Awakens"

Episode 7 isn't even a Star Wars movies. It is a Marvel flick masquerading as one.

>It's a Marvel meme flick with stupid jokes and action omg so epic xDDD

Compared to the high-level intelectual poetry in dactylic hexameter of the OT amirite?

Yup.

It's a damn shame your taste is so unrefined.
>>
>>64097225
The map plot is far more retarded than anything in the prequels.

I swear you people haven't actually watched them since their theatrical release and are just posting this shit to be contrarians and meme.
Not saying The Force Awakens is the holy grail of Star Wars movies but fuck off.

I liked 7 better because Disney created less childish shit than Lucas.

Say what.
Boba was just a cameo, it was all about Jango being the clone army.

I'll be completely honest, I fucking love episode 3, though I like the OT better than any of the prequels. I don't know if 7 will eclipse 3 for me. That said, I won't pretend the dialogue was anything but shit in 3. Still, it was some really fun shit. As corny as it might be, I love Anakin and Obi-wan's dialogue on Mutafar. Order 66 feels like an emotional gut punch the way Han's death didn't quite; though it might be better on subsequent viewings.

this kinda of trolling that fails fantastically, despite it being obvious that a lot of effort was put into it, its what keeps me around this place
this is some honest comedy

Prequels still suck because we go from stuff like this to gunmetal grey X-Wings in just 15 years.

Lucas tried too hard to give the earlier years this feel of this long-lost renaissance, but there just isn't enough time between the two sets of movies. The Millennium Falcon looks beat up and lived-in by it's very first appearance. It looks like it would be shiny and new looking 15 years ago. But instead the technology looks completely fucking different.

If Luke/Leia were supposed to be 35 instead of 19 maybe it would have made more sense.

>>64097225
well, yeah, stories about people on a macro and micro scale. star wars is plain old romance, fantasy, tragedy, destiny, and all that good stuff. TFA brought nothing to the table.

>Special effects are just a tool, a means of telling a story. People have a tendency to confuse them as an ends themselves. A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing.

In retrospect, an idea so stupid you feel ridiculous even explaining it to somebody.

It's like Anakin building C-3P0...fucking retarded.
>>
>>64097597
To be honest, you're comparing a naboo royal ship to a correlian beat up freighter.

You can do the same even today.
>>
>>64097007
No the prequels are awful.
The worst thing is: Behind all that shit is hidden an actually good story.
Look at the deleted scenes from revenge and you will see the plot about giving up freedom for "security" and how it will lead to even less freedom and democracy.
If Lucas had done this trilogy right (probably skipping Phantom Menace completely because this shit is fucking stupid) this could haven beed pretty solid movies with just the ideas he had.
>>
Prequels at least had the confidence to focus on politics and dialogue and characters. TFA just typical action set pieces one after another, the epitome of playing it safe
>>
>>64098047
The Naboo fighters looked just as stupid, and the Jedi Starfighters that followed looked ridiculous. The prequels had shit taste for ships.

Just about the only ship in Ep1 that really felt like a Star Wars ship was the Trade Federation's space donuts.

The prequels are infused with a bold vision of artistic profundity that eclipses the likes

of generic sci-fi movies of recent times. The streamlining process that has begun to creep

into the production of every slightly sci-fi-y tinged movie has created an amorphous blob

of mediocrity and blandness. The prequels deliver a basic premise of good vs.evil but do it

so by utilizing characters that are endowed with humanity. Aside from the storytelling

aspect the prequels stand strong on all fronts, from writing, cinematography and set pieces

that truly immerse you into a fantastic world full of wonder and awe. It is infinitely

unfortunate that this behemoth of a film project is marred by the majority of the

populace's inability to assess the genius and lack of intelligence. One can only hope that

in eons to come, evolution will have worked in ways as to ensure and maximize the

distribution of the gene that thrives in the intellectual minority of our time so that

future generations and civilizations will be able to grasp the grandeur of the prequels and

see behind the masquerading illusion that is reddit.
