Force Awakens.

Revenge is the second worst in the series.
>>
>>64253882
Tough. Both are good but completely different films.

The Force Awakens is a solidly and competently made sci fi action with all around good characters, scenes, dialogue and music, however it possess very little memorable scenes, for it does not attempt to stand out. It is an overall good but not great movie.

Revenge of the Sith meanwhile, is the best prequel, where there is an enormous amount of conflict, drama and characterization revolving around the transformation of Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader, as well as the fall of the Republic and transformation into the dreaded evil Empire that we all know. It tries to stand out and does possess some memorable scenes. The movie is overall good, however it is flawed with clunky sometimes cringeworthy dialogue, bad acting, and excessively overused weak cgi.

I would give a very slight edge to ROTS because it has more heart poured into it, but TFA is more solid in terms of how it was made.
>>
>>64253882
3 definitely has better memes, all 7 has yielded so far is TRAITOR and TELATTAKANJIKLUB

maybe if we give it 10 years...
>>
>>64253909
When did acting in a Star Wars film become important?
>>
>>64253882
Revenge of the Sith
Force awakens was good but that was it. There was not a single special or outstanding thing about it, whereas Revenge of the Sith certainly has its low points, but unlike TFA it has some pretty great high points that finally lived up to the potential greatness the prequels had.
In the final battle with Anakin and Obi Wan there was emotion, and there was tension. When Finn and Rey fought Kylo Ren it was a good fight but there was nothing special about it, no stand out moment, and most importantly, no fucking drama. ROTS was not perfect and it has some pretty awful parts but the good outweighs the bad and it certainly makes for a more enjoyable experience than watching TFA's bland effort.
>>
>>64253882
it's irrelevant as neither is a good film.

but Sith is at least worth watching for the ideas and the decent plot arc. TFA is literally not worth bothering with.

7 had practical effects which ultimately looks better than cgi all over the place and may be better paced specially considered as a standalone movie. But it brought nothing new to the star wars universe aside from (until now) underdeveloped unidimensional characters (aside maybe from Ben), "star wars for the le new generation" and more tentacle porn.

3, on the other hand, brought the conclusion to a story that had already been developed two films before. So, even if its somewhat slow, it has more space for moments of its own and to tie some loose ends between prequels and OT.

In short, 7 is better as a standalone film but 3 brought more to the star wars universe
>>
>>64254729
7 is a horrible standalone.

Episode 7 had some really bad practial effects.

TFA is only better than unedited clone wars. If you strip out the garbage romance subplot from TCW then TFA is the worst by far. Abrams can't into cinematography script or action. He's trash.

TFA had a (mostly) competent plot and dialogue that let the actors breathe a bit of life into the characters.

>>
>>64255154
I guess you are right in that most patrician Star Wars fans are muh nostalgia manchildren that TFA pandered to in the absence of taking any kind of risk or new direction.

TFA is worse than all the original movies (being just a glossy greatest hits compilation of them anyway) and arguably worse than Episode III.

It was an offensively lazy film that did nothing but pander.

Menace was better. At least it had Liam Neeson and the set up with the Trade Federation and Palpy manipulating the senate to start the chain of dominoes was at least pretty intriguing.

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.

I have about as much respect for The Force Awakens as I do for the dog shit on my shoe.

It is reddit, it is capeshit, it is cheeto dust, it is video games. It's nothing more than memes enjoyed by simplistic pledditors. I have ZERO respect for people who are not free thinkers and blindly enjoy the reddit memes that comprise Cuck Wars: The Search for More Money.

The Prequel Trilogy Universe >>>>>>> TFA Universe

The movies are a mess but at least they have neat details and there is some creativity flowing in the world that made them interesting by default.

>>64256353
There was only one villain in ANH that actually does shit and lives to see another day.
TFA supposedly has 3 villains of which we only see one which ends up disgraced, beaten and probably dead (probably the chick storm trooper died too?). Maul was also only given one fighting sequence then gets cut in half.
>>
They are pretty equal and both really good, but TFA edges it out by a hair.

Episode 3 was great. It's strong point is that it is so obviously better than the other prequels and fit in neatly with the OT unlike the others. It's also pretty hard to fuck up the climax of Darth Vader becoming Darth Vader when everyone is looking forward to it. Episode 1 and 2 were just shitty buildups to 3, which is why they sucked so much and why 3 was so good.

Episode 7 was also good. It has the best storytelling and cinematography of any Star Wars film while still staying quintessentially Star Wars. Since it's been so long since 6, they had to introduce fresh characters, which they did well at memes aside, except for Kylo Ren. It had much, much less CGI than the prequels, while still retaining classic Star Wars chestnuts, resulting in a more genuine and authentic Star Wars. All while bringing back all of the main characters fans know and love, resulting in a truly great film. Something about the cinematic experience of TFA puts it above Sith, even though they are both good. Sith doesn't get enough credit, and TFA is only 2% better than it.

Harrison was good, your right. Also, Poe was the one new character who felt like a human fucking being.

>people seriously debating this
TFA is competently made at the very least. It's not shot like a stageplay, the acting is good, the ground battles are well staged, it has a descent mise-en-scene. Even a mildly serviceable movie is better than the worst of the prequels.

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.
>>
TFA is just ANH with like 10 new major plot holes added, improved CGI, a nigger C3PO, a ball shaped R2, an even girlish Luke bad actres, a goofy looking Vader and a dozen other characters no one cares about.

They started to fix it by episode III, but even then the light they emit is inconsistent. You can tell that they aren't using objects with a real lighting source, unlike pic related. Look how red Kylo's arm is, and how blue Finn's face is.

Kylo Hux and even Chrometits survive. I don't fucking know how she survived, but I guess her action figure did well in focus groups.

I will admit that it would have been cool if Tarkin could have survived the death star somehow. Or maybe it would have been dumb but I want more Tarkin.

Say what you want about the prequels, but they had god tier casting. Way better than TFA by miles. Also yes, it has better antagonists. You have to by a delusional man baby to say otherwise.

literally TWO good casting choices in THREE MOVIES
>>
>>64258623
Faggot please, if the prequels did anything right it was casting choices. Pretty much every casting choice was great, even Hayden.
>>
>>64258683
Lee was absolute trash, Mace was a fucking joke, Hayden was bad, Portman was a joke (though the least bad of the bad ones)

the only good choices mentioned over and over are Sheev and Obi for a reason
>>
>>64258683
The only thing the prequels did of note regarding acting is to get terrible performances out of exceptionally talented people
>>
>>64258683

confirmed for not knowing what acting is.
>>
>>64258522
Visually, yes. Acting wise? Hayden and Natalie aren't suited for conventional roles like go. Take a look at their other movies and their more stellar performances are with characters that are much more grounded in the real world (They can't be blamed though since they were casted in the early portion of their careers). Samuel L. Jackson suffers a similar problem; he performs best when he's completely losing his shit but was casted as a wise man.

Lee could have been feeling but was wasted in playing a shoe-horned villain (we didn't even know what he was casted to play as considering his character is such a piece of wood).

Ian McDiarmid and Ewan McGregor are the only two casting choices that are absolutely on point.
>>
>>64258909
*Allegedly* Hayden could do a more convincing Anakin, but Lucas Lucased and took the emotion out of it.
>>
>>64258968
Yeah, I remember hearing this and also remember watching a video about Lucas telling Hayden to change his acting for the role. Wish I could find it.
>>
>>64258968
I've heard about that and I wouldn't be surprised either. If Anakin started as more of a charismatic wisecracker than a whiner, the movies would have worked a lot better.

Truth is TFA was borderline trash. It was a remake of the original but with the intent of appealing to progressive America consisting of muh-strong-independent-women, muh-moral black guy, muh evil white supremacists.
