Ofc he was, Ewan is GOAT
Do we need this thread literally every fucking day?
Do you have alzheimers?
Some of the plot ideas; I liked the idea of Sheev manipulating both sides in the Clone Wars to consolidate his power. Think it could have been executed better, though I think that's the problem with the prequels; they had good ideas just how they were portrayed/ acted was very bad.
I also liked the design of the battle droids...
>>64286614
why would the droids need a command hierarchy
>>64286469
this
>>64286663
Beyond me m8
>>64286663
The command droid is pretty much a cell tower that increases the broadcast signal from the command ship.
>>64286663
Why do the droids speak, it makes no fucking sense.
>>64286737
so if you take out a command droid the ones around him walk around aimlessly?
>>64286744
why are all the droids called roger?
the actors/characters in the prequels were GOAT
>>64286804
>>64286663
I think the ship was basically a cloud processor, to save cost the minds of each droid comes from the ship and the bodies are remote controlled rather than needing an individual cpu on each
>>64286883
IT WENT UP! IT WENT UP TO THE CLOUD!
the guy known for playing a scottish heroin addict
yeah he's perfect
The pseudo 50s look. It rhymed with the authentic 70s/80s look of the OT, even if George went too far in a few places.
>>64286663
its how theyre built. smarter=more money/materials, so they make a bunch of cheap, disposable retards and then a few commanders who can actually think and problem solve and tell them what to do
Young Wan, Sheev, and Count Dracula are better actors than everyone in the OT. Hayden is also better than Mark Hamill, but with shittier dialogue.

Except for Peter Cushing and of course Sheev.

Nice non-criticism, does it make you feel smart?

To be honest prequels Obiwan was way more engaging than any of the young main cast from VII, BUT prequels Obiwan is cool after II.

When Obi Wan told Anakin that he had the "high ground", that was actually referring to the moral highground
From a certain point of view, Anakin was right, but the emotional turmoil inside of Anakin gave Obi Wan the edge he needed.
>tfw TFA is a garbage fucking movie made for plebs

From what point of view is slaughtering children, your adopted family, choking your pregnant wife, and trying to murder your "Big Brother" aka the only guy to always have your back, right?
Because a slimy politician that is OBVIOUSLY up to something once heard a guy tell a story about another guy who could supposedly stop people from dying?
I don't believe it.
>>64288056
>slaughtering evil people is somehow bad
Remember from his point of view the jedi were evil
The only real thing the prequels did wrong was overuse CGI. Sure CGI is easier to do than actual props but it made all the creatures and shit feel lifeless as fuck, almost to the point where it looks like some Roger Rabbit-tier shit
>>64288021
And it was shitty
>>64287945

I can get on board with all these
>>64288106
And why exactly were they evil?
>>64288056
The Jedi were relics of the past and obstructing the legal authority of the republic.
The fact that the Jedis were falling out of touch with the world, is evidenced when George showed us in AOTC, the Jedi thought they could force an entire war from starting by just arriving.
The fact that the Jedi try and arrest(and murder a surrendering Sheev), shows the Jedi order was rotten at the core.
Fresh and appealing art direction.

holy shit I thought we were all claiming they were 10/10 masterpieces.
but apparently we were all claiming that TFA is souless trash while the prequels were terribly executed but with nice concepts, worldbuilding and occasional good moments.
>>64288317
I was referring to that scene at Dexter jexters diner specifically. Which was shitty
>>64288317
We're reappraising the prequels as a major work of Vulgar Auteurism
Why Anakin is better than a regular jedi? I never get that part.
>>64288377
he shits the force
>>64288237
That is a story for another time my friend
>>64288377
He has more force bugs in his bloods
>>64288377
He's a master of Spinning(that's a good trick), and made it the ultimate Lightsaber stand.
>>64288377
its almost like he wasnt and they were wrong strange
>>64288377
Because he can spin a ship around.
>>64286378
He was fucking phoning it in and hamming it up big time once he saw how shit TPM turned out. He even admits it.

>>64288106
Slaughtering ANYONE is generally considered a dick move. And using "dey wuz evil" as justification is pretty fucked in the head as well.
When he kills the Sand People, he at least has a motivation you can understand. And even though the whole point is that it shows him crossing the line, you understand WHY he did it.
When he slices small children into pieces. And he is. He's cutting them in half, and because the light saber cauterizes the wounds, the probably didn't die right away. They were rolling on the floor screaming in pain, clutching at anything and pleading with it to let this all be a bad dream. So while this fucking horror show is going on, and the room smells like burnt youngling, not a single one of them did anything near as bad as raping and torturing his mother.
He did it because he had a dream about pandabear crying, doesn't understand how visions of the future work (despite yoda explicitly spelling it out for him that visions of the future are tricky as fuck, and dangerous to toy with), and then on a lark decides to murder to betray everything he has ever held important because he fell for the most obvious fucking bait in the universe.
Anakin Skywalker everyone. It's not a tragic rise and fall of a jedi, it's a farce. It's literally a comedy of errors.
>>64288437
But as the educated anons above stated, he should be super talented because his midichlarium levels are sky high.
>>64288555
Did he even have enough dialogue? I completely forgot TPM.
>>64288377
Literally Jesus, immaculate conception and all.
>>64288625
He wanted the pussy. Simple as that.
>>64288112
They used plenty of great practical effects, but the CGI that was used was so bad and so in your face it was hard to ignore. The 100% CGI backgrounds like in the jedi temple were so distracting.
>>64286378
They were new films and not bland rehashes of the OT.
>>64286981
Could you explain what you mean by "pseudo 50s look"? I'm genuinely interested in that
>Good call, my young Padawan!
Fuck me, he couldn't have been more stereotypically English if he tried, delivering that line.
>>64288725
The latter is much better tbqh
>>64288472
Actually I don't know
It's not like I can read inside Lucas' twisted mind
I can guess tho
He basically became evil because
1. He wanted to save his waifu and Sheev told him he could
2. He was tired of the republic not acting and wanted a strong government that would take actions
3. He's a fucking retard and saw Dindu about to execute the evil sith lord responsible for the war in the galaxy so of course he saved him
So that would make the jedi evil for..huh.. not immediately going to war and slaughtering the CIS scum, not letting him be with his waifu and trying to execute his pedo sith lord
>>64288638
Saw it today, he has a few decent lines with based Neeson but that's about it
>>64286378
Abso-fuckin-lutely he was.
>>64288694
>He wanted the pussy.
Before or after he choked her to death?
He had that Pussy, and if the Jedi temple, literally overflowing with intuitive empaths, can't figure out where you're sleeping at night, then literally who do you have to worry about discovering the truth? What is the worst thing that could happen? He gets kicked out of the jedi order? That sure didn't seem to slow him down when he started murdering jedi.

Noice
Good:
Sheev's scheme as a whole
In fact, everything Sheev, not even memeing
Order 66 scene
Sheev/Anakin dynamic in RotS, especially the opera scene
Ewan McGregor
Genosis battle was cool
The score was great
Yoda vs Sheev spinning duel
New planets looked cool
Bad:
A lot of the CGI didn't age well
A lot of bad actors
Underused villains
Dooku didn't feel like a villain. Not trying to be a contrarian edgy faggot, he simply seemed to be more in the right than the jedi order desu.
Terrible scripts
Jar Jar
Le funny droids
Mixed:
Duel scenes. Some were good, some were overchoreographed. While most still were better choreographed than the OT, they just couldn't capture the same emotion as the OT fights, despite all that great music.
Hayden. With a better script and more competent directing, he could easily have been a good Anakin. Had his glimpses in RotS, fucking atrocious in Clones, but I feel it wasn't really his fault.
Costumes and character designs. Mostly cool, but some were horrible.

>>64290582

come on, family.
>>64286378
He was good in TPM but he was a humorless asshole in AOTC and ROTS. He reminds me of a dickhead boss I used to have in the last two prequels.
>>64286378
Yeah he was great at playing this super boring character
>tfw enjoying TCW
>>64287019
sure buddy
>>64288377
Because he was literally a mad science experiment by Sheev and Plagueis to create the ultimate force user.
>>64288625
>sand people
The preferred term is 'tusken raider,' buddy.
>>64286877
Nah, Ian and Ewan are great but Lee was really wasted. Dooku is great int he EU, a prodigal Jedi and the last padawan of Yoda, master of Qui-Gon, who left the order because he disagreed with them and then later became a sith lord.
in the movies though, he's just someone to clash sabers with anakin and obi-wan
Am I the only one who thought Plagueis was just a story made up by Sheev to make Anakin believe he could save Hershlag? And now everyone pretends like he exists because he was in some non canon book?
>>64286663
because they're droids not drones
they're built to mimic human soldiers and human soldiers have adaptive problem solving ability, which would require free will
>>64286877
>Get only about 20-30 minutes of him at the end of Ep 2
>Get 5 minutes in Ep 3 at the beginning
If Lucas had him introduced in Ep 1, or kept Maul for 2 and 3, that would have been better and made the Ep 3 fight higher stakes.
As it is, we got a guy we barely knew who gets whacked off in the first bit of Ep 3, followed by an asthmatic droid general.
The Prequel Trilogy was basically one Sith disappointment after the other
>>64290526
>order 66 scene
watching it before and after Clone Wars puts a different spin on everything.
before, you didnt give two shits about these characters
after, you are sad because Plo Koon was the coolest motherfucker.
The sound track was GOAT and better than the OT
The different worlds and environments were great / art design
Darth Maul
Sheev
Obi-Wan (mcgregger goat)
The sound effects were really good as well
>>64291211
I always felt that Plagueis was real, but that Sidious never intended to give Anakin the secret to help padme whether he really knew it or not. Its really implied even in that scene that Palpatine was the apprentice of Plagueis.
>>64287696
That was the idea.
I wish the Prequels did more of fleshing out how unprepared Obi-Wan was to train Anakin.
I mean he was suppose to be a mentor and a father figure, but they instead ended up being like brothers and good friends to each other.
And part of it was because of how young Obi-Wan was when he got saddled with Anakin, and how soon it was after he became a Jedi Knight.
I really wish the prequels delved into that dynamic more, because it would make sense why Anakin was improperly trained to deal with things like temptation and the Dark Side.
>>64291211
That's what I always thought. And then it turns out he was a "real character" that apparently was alive until halfway through the prequels.
>>64290582
God damn the 2003 Clone Wars was so ridiculous and over the top, but it still had some damn good sequences.
>That Grevious trying to take Sheev
>Sheev acting like some sort of "diplomatic immunity" politician
>That alien scream taking out a shit ton of droids
>>64291326
>TCW
Why would you waste your time with that shit?
>>64291692
Because its good and fixes nearly everything wrong with the prequels
>>64291692
Not him, but because it actually provides a lot of context for shit that happens in Episode 3, and deepens a lot of characters.
Count Dooku is a great example

of the council members, Mace and Plo Koon tended to get the most screen time outside of the main characters (anakin, obi-wan)
But the clones were the best part of the show desu.
>When filming in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999), Mcgregor kept imitating the noise of the lightsaber during his fights. George Lucas explained many times that this would be added in by the special effects people later on. Ewan said "I keep getting carried away."
>While shooting the space flight scenes for the start of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, McGregor continually held his breath in the cockpit of his Jedi Starfighter. Lucas explained many times thhat they were not really in space, but McGregor was concerned that the spacecraft was not airtight. "I can see little gaps all around the canopy," he is reported as saying. "Anakin and I could die up there."
>>64292480
Damn, even Ewan had childlike wonder in the first film
>After filming the climactic duel scene for Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, McGregor was apparently inconsolable regarding the fate of co-star Hayden Christensen. George Lucas explained many times that the latter's injuries were actually extremely sophisticated make-up, but McGregor was convinced he had seriously hurt him. "Anakin was such a promising young actor," he later sobbed to a reporter, "and I burned his face ... I burned it to a crisp!"
I actually thought the robots they made were cool as hell.
Especially that rolling robot with a shield.
>Upon completion of filming for Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, McGregor was left out of pocket when the other performers collected handsome paychecks. George Lucas explained many times that young Anakin Skywalker would win the podrace, but McGregor wagered his entire fee for the film on the character Sebulba. "That little flying Jew told me that Sebulba always wins," he later explained to Esquire magazine. "Anakin only looked about 10 - how the fuck did he beat him?"

>Following the climatic duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jim against Darth Maul in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, McGregor spiraled into a deep state of mourning over the death of his co-star Liam Neeson. George Lucas explained many times that Neeson was in fact alive and his demisse was entirely fictional, but McGregor was unconvinced, spending many days locked in his trailer. When Lucas called for Neeson to visit him in order to prove he was alive, McGregor chased after him with a torch, intending on giving him a viking funeral. Onlookers claimed McGregor was certain this would exorcise the Sith ghosts that were surely possessing Neeson's corpse.
>>64292559
Droideka were the shit.
>After watching the premier of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, actor Ewan McGregor assaulted fellow co-star Hayden Christensen, screaming "HOW COULD YOU DO IT, ANAKIN, THEY WERE CHILDREN!" Later on he repeatedly made phone calls to the Los Angeles police department offering information in the unlawful execution of one Count Dooku (a character portrayed in the series by veteran actor Christopher Lee) in exchange for an investigation of actor Ian McDiarmand, whom he volunteered to apprehend himself saying "He's a Sith Lord! It's right there on film, George caught him! Chancellor Palpatine is evil!" McGregor, who portrays the character Obi-Wan Kenobi was arrested outside McDiarmand's London estate two weeks later after breaking and entering the main house and bludgeoning the elderly stage actor with a toy lightsaber. He was charged with unlawful conduct and sentenced to three weeks on house arrest. When reached for comment, Ewan apologized and said simply "I keep getting carried away."
