But when you're talking about plot you have elements/themes/subplots/details/etc that are similar. For example Luke losing his hand and Anakin also losing his hand.
>>64308163
JJ Abrams literally paced around in his bedroom pulling his face screaming "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE THIS MOVIE"
>>64308262
Yeah, but he is talking like prequels were completely different, when they obviously mirrored OT.
This seems to be overlooked by a lot of people so far, but at least George seemed to understand the comedic context of Star Wars fairly well.
TFA was far too much like a Marvel movie in its comedy. There wasn't really any subtly funny moments like Han saying "How are you?" to a guy over the radio, or the Elan Sleazebaggano scene in Clone Wars.
FROM MY POINT OF VIEW THE JEDI ARE EVIL

I've never had such an opinion change about a movie series.
>>64308337
Star wars have always been B movies. Why does everyone flip out when there is B dialogue? The funny thing is, there is no-one who didn't enjoy that dialogue, because it's campy, and hilarious.
How many memes have you guys made about Episode III alone? Yet you all claim to hate it, but you really don't hate those movies as much as you think.
>>64308332
>>64308317

>>64308285
Nostalgia for a good thing=/=a good thing.

Hello new friend
How can you praise a movie that literraly has the same script of other movie?
>>64308163
I can understand not liking the force awakens, but to suggest that the prequels were good is absolute retardation
>>64308433
As a kid at the time of the prequels, I understood what was going on: The fish Asians were being jerks, but it wasn't breaking the law so the police couldn't arrest them. Then Sheev tricked people and became president, even though he's secretly evil.
It takes a special kind of idiot to not under the very basic politics going on in the prequels.
>>64308444
I just rewatched the prequel trilogy the other day and was surprised how much I enjoyed II and III. All these years I've said IV>>>III>I>II but now it's very definitely IV>III>II>I. The movies aren't really as bad as everyone makes them out to be. They are very entertaining, their only flaw is very weak dialogue, and some bits that lose the attention of the audience.
>>64308383
I agree with George mostly but is there a intentionally funny moment in the prequels?
>>64308409
The dialogue isn't campy, it's campy and cheesy in the originals but in the prequels it's bland and extremely literate. On top of this you have the very wooden acting, Palpatine, Samuel Jackson, and Christopher Lee were the only ones who carried some emotion.
>>64308234
>implying the prequels weren't cynical cash grabs
> forgetting that bit from the making of documentary where Lucas laments the fact that the prequels won't surpass Titanic at the box office
Oh I get it, pretending the prequels were good is a new meme
>>64308409
The dialogue in the original Star Wars was silly, but it was coherent and made sense.
The Prequels have utterly nonsense scripting that no one really looked at or thought through.
>my point of view
>>64308409
This isn't even B-Tier Dialogue
>>64308291
Midichlorians aren't a problem. I'd agree if anybody could be a jedi, but it's been made clear in the OT and in the new trilogy that some people can be jedi and some people just can't, not to mention the fact that force power is clearly hereditary. So Midichlorians changes nothing other than offer an in universe explanation for something that was established in the OT: That some people are force sensitive, while others are not.
>>64308475
Still better than anything in the TFA
>>64308502
Obi Wan vs Anakin had lots of emotion, even though the sword fight was dumb
>>64308523
Lucas is rich beyond compare and funded the prequels himself.
>>64308475
It'd be funny if it was someone in blackface

>>64308495
>It takes a special kind of idiot to not under the very basic politics going on in the prequels.
Saw it as a kid when it came out and by the end I completely lost any idea what was going on besides that they wanted to help and train Anakin because of some prophecy. Saw it again as an adult a couple years ago and I while I was finally able to understand what was going on, Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones was a real test of patience.

>>64308658
Does that mean that you're a contrarian too?
>>64308234
Trying something new is worthless if you do it poorly, it just comes off as throwing shit up against a wall and hoping some sticks. For all the new locations and new ships in the Prequels, almost none of it has any iconic cultural status. The Prequels have all sorts of shiny, new ships in every movie, but no equivalent of the Millennium Falcon, no equivalent of Luke's X-Wing. No one looks back fondly on Anakin's feats at Battle of Naboo, they shudder at the memory. Wuher's Cantina is legendary, Dexter's Diner is a memetic joke.
> TFA is a cynical cash grab, surely you must know this?
But there's no cynicism in it at all, it's very (even surprisingly) genuine in its storytelling. Cash grab is a worthless criticism, it's a major motion picture, they're all made to make money. It's a business first and foremost (and the movies made to be "art" are trashed as "Oscar bait").
>>64308693
>it's very (even surprisingly) genuine in its storytelling.

You had me going there for a second.
>>64308668
Lucas doesn't need money. He created the prequel trilogy for the fans and because he wanted to finish his vision for the series.
If he wasn't true to his vision, he would have bowed under fan pressure and stopped changing his films and removing elements people didn't like from future prequel movies, but he didn't. He stuck to his guns, he is truly the last auteur of the film industry, and his self-exile shows that the film industry is truly finished. Nothing but mass produced, make everyone happy dull action movies filled with quips, is all we will see in the years to come. Hope you like the Avengers formula, because that's all we're going to get.
>>64308693
Lucas creates amazing worlds, look at all the side content and EU produced around the clone wars and the prequel universe? It's superior to the EU of the OT and the new EU they have created around TFA.

>>64309008
Lucas has been talking about making a prequel trilogy since 1980 when he attached "Episode IV: A New Hope" to Star Wars.
>>64308831
The dispute is "Here's some made up pretext for our invasion because we want to take over your planet for our own gain, without realise we are pawns Sheev is using to take control himself."
The actual legal reasons don't matter, the Fish Asians were clearly just trying to take over by any means necessary. If they actually wanted to settle a dispute, they wouldn't show up with a droid army and try to murder the third party negotiators.
>they wanted to do a movie that actually embraced what made the original trilogy good, instead of making a bright CGIfest like my prequels

As stereotypical as it sounds - but I speak from experience. For many smart women, though they may struggle creatively - they have a knack for looking at something and knowing if it will appeal/look good in terms of fashion, story, market. Etc.
In a nutshell while it may be hard for them to come with an idea - they can critique and edit one well.

think for a moment what you just said. What about those were created by Lucas? Lucas created an amazing world in the first Star Wars - you really feel like it's a real place with real history and real, if unseen, locations just by watching the movie. On Tatooine you get a sense that there's a real world going on with just a few lines - hints of places where teenagers hang out and villages you can get a ride to what passes for the big city in. Can you say that about the Prequels? Does Theed feel like as real a place as Mos Eisley? Does Coruscant? Lucas's lauded world building was a total failure in the Prequels, no matter how many new worlds he threw into the mix.

No he did not.
The conveyor belt scene work for you in AotC?
>>64309953
The score in TFA is god awful, it actually stood out to me watching the film. Even the title theme sounds, wrong.

>>64309953
Do you read other posts before posting?
>>64309967
>Did Jakku not feel real?
Not really. If you want to throw around the word 'generic', then Jakku felt like a retread of Tatooine with less substance. It didn't feel like a living world, even at that little market. The only thing there with a speck of character was the dick behind the counter.
>>64309967

I'm not a big fan of the PT, but you have to be blind and dumb not to see how much more of a commercial exercise TFA is than the other 6 movies and many other blockbusters. Smart business people sitting around a conference table carefully developed this movie like a business plan, to an obviously greater extent than most movies.

Advanced shitposting friend
Lucas at least had visions, a creative mind, lack in directional skills was his only weakness.
But when you're surrounded by "yes people" that would suck his dick for a piece of the Lucas gold.
The job he and his crew did in the prequels was revolutionary. He practically invented the heavy use of CGI which helped create the great worlds we can watch and enjoy.
Either way have a great new year and by all means continue hating everything you piece of shits.
>>64310517
Disney is involved. Its sole purpose was to make money and make the viewer feel insulted

>He practically invented the heavy use of CGI which helped create the great worlds we can watch and enjoy.
Eh, LotR was happening at the same time and also featured heavy CGI use
>>64310252

>>64310623
Lotr didn't use large scale CGI to create it's environment. LoTR used as little as possible. Basically built the shire and the villages.
I agree with you George but you did this to yourself
You couldve had all those things and not been shit. TPM was a big hit, but people knew you dropped the ball with the writing and overall plotting so when AOTC or ROTS came out, by the box office numbers and general public perception the star wars brand was hurt.
You couldve made unique movies and still made them good.
You couldve also, ya know, NOT FUCKING SOLD YOUR FRANCHISE THEN BITCH ABOUT IT

why does /r/Cuckold hate the prequels so much?

>...Do I talk first or you talk first? I talk first?
I fucking balked at this line 5 minutes into the movie
This trash was worst than ST09, this was a fucking Marvel-tier quip
I get being a flippant space scoundrel or whatever, people probably thought he was like the new Han Solo, but nobody fucking shit-talked Vader to his face like that, the new Villain hasn't been on the screen for ten fucking minutes and already people are literally laughing at him
Kylo Ren had about as much threat as General Grievance or fucking Ultron

The final shot of the Toyota going down the street made me burst out laughing for some reason.
>>64311559
Yeah, I wish they had gone the route of making Kylo threatening, but then people would complain of Vader 2.0. I wish they hinted at a weakness instead of doing lol, Mary Sue Rey will defeat the big villain at the end. Too much nostalgia
Anyone has the webm of Lucas explaining how Jar Jar should walk?

>TFA
>genuine in its storytelling
Please. It's just as hollow as the prequels. Of course it's likely that references and allusions to the original movies were intended as enthusiastic callbacks, but the result comes across as insincere and gestural. And that's to say nothing about the actual pacing of the movie which emphasizes dull action scenes with little tension.
>>64311792
Nah
>>64311900
Yep.
>>64308787

but TFA is 12 persecs far from being good

>It takes a special kind of idiot to not under the very basic politics going on in the prequels.
That's just it though. The basics behind the politics are so simple that it's mind boggling that Lucas decided to focus so much time on it. He did such a bad job with it that when you actually follow all of the details of the politics you realize it's poorly written and doesn't actually make sense even though you still understand the basic point behind all of it.
So much time could have been saved if they had left the politics in the background and just mentioned what was going on instead of dropping us right into the middle of the freaking galactic senate and expecting us to care.

But '83 was the last time a decent Star Wars movie was released.
I win.
>>64311596
He creates a strawman in the first 30 seconds to argue against. Nobody is saying the mere fact that a movie uses CGI ruins it, it's when a movie completely relies on CGI and uses it as a crutch in place of writing, cinematography, tension, etc.
>>64311716
>Yeah, I wish they had gone the route of making Kylo threatening, but then people would complain of Vader 2.0
People are already complaining about Vader 2.0, that's literally Ren's entire motivation
JJ just fucking fails in pulling it off and within ten minutes the best candidate for being a legitimate threat is ruined
Darth Vader 2.0 gets sent to the burn ward by Poe's Marvel-tier Quips in the first five minutes
Boba Fett 2.0 does nothing more intimidating than recommending Finn be sent for reconditioning before getting fucking tackled by a wookie and then being thrown into the garbage compactor of an exploding planet
The Emperor 2.0 is a bad CGI Wizard of Oz hologram who we never even see
the only decent Imperial Character was Tarkin 2.0 who ends up a screaming ginger Joseph Goebbles caricature two thirds in
The entire film managed to prevent me from feeling anything but the sensation that I was watching a series of changing scenes stitched together in which events were taking place
>>64308312
I fucking love George. Those are all golden lines.
Well new obviously means better.
Thanks for the memo, reddit.

not anyone youre tlaking to but my impressions of jakku was like.. 3 or 4 really bad practical models on sand, and 1 sand area with looked like a tent and a shack with tons of CGI covering it up
didnt feel like a lived in massive world
i remember the desert planet in prequels felt lived in and the market was full of people
the direction of the movie showed this
while the direction in TFA looked like zoomed in at 1 very specific crowded tent, and like thats it. the rest were shots of the bad practicel models with cgi person, and then a couple scenes of walking in the desert
the original star wars felt lived in because it was a farm and they had to travel a long way to do this or that, and when they arrived there were people living there, the sand people, the jawas, the cantina
but like TFA the dude just walks from a crash and stumbles into the 1 crowded tent in the world, and then leaves the planet immediately after

they could have easilly just built a model of the palace and CGI'd the crowd in.
at least then it would look a fuck shit tone better.
>i just wanted to make children's movies
yes George, we get it. however this woe is me, everyone hates me thats why i sold star wars attitude is bullshit.
30 fucking years ago you should have realized the movies you made attracted a specific and exact demographic. YOU fucked up by telling that demographic to go fuck itself and then tried to turn the franchise into something it couldn't be.
you should have realized this and either stopped with the OT, or got over your own hubris and made movies that the star wars demographic wanted you to make.
instead you opted to force something that wasn't wanted and now you're acting all butt hurt over it?
>>64313625
>Tells us it's a children's movie
>Makes it about space taxes and the main character a genocidal paraplegic burns victim who kills children
hey /reddit/ does anyone have that webm of George Lucas throwing some kid out of a meeting or something? It was some skinny beta looking kid

>>64314035
>Tarkin's bitch boy
well to be fair Tarkin was the swinging dick on the death star.
the command structure on the DS is no different from any other military base commander.
whoever is in command of the facility is the ultimate authority and cannot be questioned. (except by the emperor of course)
Essentially Vader was nothing more than a guest on the station which is why Tarkin could boss him around the way he did.
similar to a Naval captain. No one except the president (and even that can be a grey area when the ship is underway) can tell the captain whats what.
>>64308163
He is right about one thing. Disney played safe.
But, looking at prequels, doing something diffrent isn't really a way to go.
>>64312141
He's got you there.
