I'm in the process of watching all the Star Wars for the first time. How retarded am I for watching it in this order; IV, V, I, II, III, VI. Right now I just finished attack of the clones and am about to start revenge of the sith.
Also, just watching through these, I'm pretty surprised at how different the movies are from what I expected / what I've heard about them. Mainly, I don't find the prequels to that far off from the originals. I liked A New Hope the best, but even that movie seemed way more subtle and simple than I expected. All this sperging out I here over lore and retarded details, I thought these movies were full of ridiculous world building and power levels, but it's really just an autistic fanbase getting obsessed with something for the sake of having something to obsess over. Theyre not that different from POTC movies.
I didnt really like Empire Strikes Back. It seemed really thin once it got to Yoda / Jedi training and the plot focused on a lot of time on pointless dumb shit. The ending was mostly good, but it's pretty numb now that it's been parodied to death.
Episodes I and II have definitely been more retarded, and way more geared towards kiddies, but it's not like they are that different from the originals. The CGI is mostly shit, but just looking at the opening scene of III, it got way way better. And Lucas definitely is not good with bringing details together, resulting in a lot of retarded sequences and dialogue, but I actually like the overall story. The way the clone wars is set up and ties into the original trilogy is pretty good. I'm just surprised at the general angst and vitriol people have for the original trilogy.
Also, Ewan McJesus is a sexy beast.

Good order, better if you drop I though, nothing happens in it that matters past the first ten minutes of II
People defend the OT like they are untouchable. The fact is they are all kiddie movies with lots of dumb moments.
The prequels get lots of unjust hate. Stuff like pic related happened all over the OT.

tl;dr people wanted star wars to grow up with them, not be there for the next generation.
I genuinely don't think you could take a kid to see episode 7 as their first star wars, but you could for either episode 1 or 4.

Too late, already watched it. It was basically a 2 hour excuse to say "heres Anakin, he is the child of destiny". Darth maul was cool but really could have been way better

Agreed

Pretty solid analysis and a refreshing perspective. I like episode V a lot, but there's also a lot I agree with you on. I think most of people's fascination with it as "the greatest Star Wars film" comes more from its direction, cinematography and overall 'feel' than its story. While Yoda has a lot of amusing / memorable aphorisms to offer and the Vader twist is iconic, ESB has some weird pacing and not a lot actually happens in the narrative compared to the others.

lol why kick if you can vaporize his flesh with a lightsaber which he can't block?

I can see V being the comfiest since it really is thin on plot, then has such a great end fight. The prequels might have had issues, but it definitely wasn't lacking in plot, almost too much convoluted shit is jammed into them. But I do like their overall story
>>64181089
You mean vitriol for the prequel trilogy?
>>64183254
Also agreed. The prequels could have been very good with a competent screenwriter and director. As it stands, they're a solid concept on paper which became an unfortunate mess in execution, but not without its own merits.
>tfw I actually, unironically agree with most of the "vulgar auteur" copypasta
