You'll notice that in the vast majority of clips from behind the scenes of the prequels, everyone looks completely terrified of Lucas, like they're servants in the presence of a mad king.

>>64109773

The score was good the VFX were okay at best.

Other than that the Prequels are pretty mediocre. I don't think any of them are better than a 5/10. They just feel like soulless toy commercials without an interesting plot, characters or villains. Sort of like Disney Marvel movies and oddly enough not like TFA at all.

>>64109805

OMG you can see where the green screen is. Build a fucking set Lucas you hack. Jesus christ.
>>
>>64110739
Yes it would have. The sets and model pieces still hold up well with TPM because they used a lot of practical effects interspersed with CGI.

Just like Starship Troopers did. It's ok to have a good balance of both. The problems with 2 and 3 is that even though they had some models and set pieces, they had far more cgi shots, and Lucas kept throwing more shots in. This taxes the artists and makes it so they do half ass work.

The more time you have to spend on a CGI shot the better it'll look. If you have too many of them and you're just cranking shot after shot, they will not age well.

It's worse than that, you can see how shitty the camera tracking is. They slide into the foreground and the virtual set pieces around them do not have consistent parallax with them.

Sorry, I'll take that back and add Battle of Heroes to the list. Battle of Heroes is even better than Duel of the Fates but I always remember it as part of Duel of the Fates as opposed to a separate song. Not sure why, probably just made an association because they both play in the literal only good parts of the prequels.

Across the Stars is comparable to anything in TFA. It is from AotC, so what can you really expect though.
>>
>>64110739

Puppetry, practical sets, plastic Clone Armor and plastic models of spaceships like in the OT would have made the prequels fit in with the universe and would have made the movies age much better. Also the actors would have had more to work with because they aren't talking to a green wall the whole movie and that shit shows. There is a reason a good cast looks so fucking stupid in every movie and it's Lucas's terrible decisions. I think everyone was afraid to challenge him on anything and the movies suffered for it.

Lucas values trying something new over producing a good product and has progressively become more lazy as a director, those two things are not a good mix

I can't hate the man because he does seem genuinely passionate to an extent, he's just completely lost his way and now the fans have turned on him he's gone salty

>these shots are too accurate for sand people

Don't get me started on the first scene where they board Leias ship and the scene is just a clusterfuck of green and red, with shots literally coming from the roof and floor, and don't get me started on Luke and leias swing, where any of the stormstroopers could crouch down, point their gun up under the door and shoot them

Honestly the original trilogy is JUST as bad

The only redeeming factor in either of those trilogies are literally the same thing

It's more like Kasdan turned him down to come back for the Prequels and because of that the Prequels are pretty bad. Kasdan came back for Episode 7 because he knew he wouldn't have to work with George again. I will always like George for being involved with the original trilogy but the best bits of those movies had nothing to do with him it was all Kasdan. George is way better when he has someone else to bounce off of. George writing the scripts and doing all the art direction was a huge mistake, thats why we had things like Jar Jar, convoluted space senate plots, 50s diners and a very awkward love story along with too much cgi and a lack of practical effects then ultimately a bunch of actors looking like idiots because there is no henson puppetry but rather a green wall to emote in front of.

Revisionists history is a bitch man.

The original trilogy is like an 8, 9 and 7 out of 10 for me. None of them perfect and sort of a range of quality.

the prequel trilogy is like a 4, 5 and 6 out of 10. While they gradually got better...none of them are really good and rise beyond mediocre.

Basically I agree with >>64111625 that Kasdan turning down Lucas to come back for the Prequels screwed Lucas over pretty hard. Without the guy that gave him the most critical/financial success the prequels never really worked. It simply had too much Lucas in them.

I disagree about the "set pieces." The biggest problem is there were no practical sets built. You can literally see where the green screen ends in most shots. I also disagree about the "great visual effects" even at the time the CG looked jarring and fake. Not using puppets, plastic models and practical sets were a huge mistake.

Honestly even the music isn't that great, I'd rather listen to Wagner or something.

The prequels are IRREDEEMABLE

The meme choirs ruin these. And Duel of the Fates is so big for such an irrelevant fight that it's almost comical. That's not Williams' fault.

The thing with the prequels is they have so much cool 'stuff' in them like the clone trooper hardware, spaceships, droids etc. but they fall flat as movies.

It's such a shame as some of the concepts in there are interesting but as the Plinket reviews show us, the execution is fucking awful.

I agree with the Plinket reviews. The movies had all the elements and tools to be good but they ended up being boring because Lucas was unchallenged by his peers and Kasdan wasn't involved. It's fine if people like them but I just can't accept them as anything other than mediocre and wasted opportunities. Don't plan on ever watching them again.

>>64112633

He told Lucas he didn't want to be involved with prequels because George should do his own vision. And we all know how that turned out. It's also likely Kasdan didn't enjoy working with Lucas all that much. I believe he signed on to do Episode 7 because he knew Lucas was out. TFA was pretty good. I'm thinking of seeing it a second time in theaters with a buddy I haven't seen in awhile who hasn't seen it yet.

Star Wars is at it's best when focused on politics and the decisions characters have to make. This is why the prequels are the better than the OT, why TFA is average, and why all the best episodes of Clone Wars CG don't involve fighting.

I mostly just ignore the expanded universe as glorified fan fiction, at the point in which I found out that a magic mountain that cries and it's tears heal ewoks I gave up on it, I have the films and that's more than enough for me.
As for the CG cartoons, I've never actually watched them, I caught a brief few minutes of the Clone Wars movie they did on TV years ago, not enough to really form an opinion on it, I've been interested to watch the tv series they've made but have always been put of by the prequels feel to them, that being monotone dialogue with flashy action sequences, not really my thing but I will give them a proper viewing one day.

>is the new Battlefront worth buying?
got it for Christmas, have only really played about half an hour of it, if you want a good simulator for being in a Star Wars battle then it's great, however, if you want an in depth shooter with lots of room for exploring different tactics, styles of gameplay and stuff like that then you'll be dissapointed

The prequels have problems, sure, but I honestly do believe they were the first victims of hype culture. They honestly aren't that bad as movies. The only thing I would say is that TPM and AotC probably should have been merged into one movie and the second in the trilogy should have occurred during the clone wars and there should have been less reliance on special effects.
>>
>>64113765
>They honestly aren't that bad as movies.
They're pretty mediocre sci-fi fare. I doubt people would still be speaking about them if they didn't have the words "Star Wars" on their titles.
>>
>>64113765

>Would have, should have, could have

Honestly if you put Star Wars on it you can't expect people not to get hype and hold them up to a higher standard automatically. That's why the prequels were so mediocre not just with internal problems and poor film decision making but simply they couldn't live up to the reputation and goodwill fans had for it over the years.

If they didn't use the Star Wars branding I doubt they would have even been greenlit at all.

Anyway, sorry but you can justify characters being poorly executed because the script and concepts weren't all there.

It's hard to get into a series of movies where the main character isn't clearly defined and there is no real plot to speak of. Especially when every character in said movies seems confused about what they are supposed to do and is unlikeable as fuck. At this point I see the prequels as one of the biggest blunders with a popular franchise in cinematic history. No reason to rewatch them imo.
