How is Episode II so clearly the best?
Episode III i better. Clearly the best of all seven movies.
>>64633279
I was in favor of the "prequels aren't as bad as we made them out to be" reevaluation, but AOTC is definitely the worst one. The order goes:
V > IV > VI > I > III > VII > II

Damn the new Battlefront sure looks shitty.
>>64633279
it was the most experimental and freeform
episode 3 is arguably better but it wasn't as enjoyable to me because you already knew everything that was gonna happen since most of the major plot points were already known after seeing the OT.

If you take out all the Yoda, Padme, and Anikan bullshit, the Clone Wars scenes were pretty good.

I just watched to movie again for the first time in years, ready to accept all of the hipster shit that I had to accept about I and that I kinda believed for the most part about III, but none of it stuck. It's all so extraordinary. Christensen actually is perfect for Anakin. He is just the angstiest yet cockiest fucker. That is exactly his personality. And we see it come to full fruition when he slaughters the sand people, and obviously even moreso in III.
The most plot also happens in II. Anakin and Padme get married, Obi-Wan discovers the clone army, Jar Jar leads the Senate to further enable Sheev, Dooku has a slight moment when he wants to betray his master. It's all so loaded with deception. Truly, I love this movie. It's flawed, yes, but it's awesome in so many ways that VII can't even grasp at. Even I has this magic that escapes VII

Plebs. Yeah Jar Jar and baby Anikan suck, but Episode 1 actually relies on storytelling and buildup. AotC and RotS are all style over substance. I can't even bare to re-watch AotC, and whenever I watch RotS I skip any scene without Palpatine.
But TPM works well as a stand-alone movie, and is the best prequel when NOT compared to the OT.
>>64633731
I agree. The game looks fucking fantastic. I love going in the diorama and viewing the detailed ship/character models (it's more fun than actually playing the game).

Episode II is undeniably one of the worst movies ever made. It does have one thing going for it over Episode I, and that's it actually starts the story everyone wanted to see, but Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, it's like Lucas forgot everything he ever knew about telling a story.
>>64633482
I agree
the prequels were still salvageable after episode 1, episode 2 truly ruined them. No matter how good episode 3 could have been it was beyond redemption after 2. And episode 3 wasn't very good.
>>64634692
He wasn't really too bad apart from how dreadful TPM was anyway, you could cite the podrace but the big thing about it was supposed to be that he'd never even finished the race before, at least he wasn't flipping around and taking out droids like it wasn't no thing
>>64634300
I can't stand you faggots that can't suspend your disbelief for a second.
Who are you to decide how currency works on a backwater planet in a distant galaxy? Maybe they don't take a shuttle off Tatooine or hire a smuggler because it would increase their chances of being detected. MAYBE there's no money exchange center, their currency is indeed useless on that planet, and once they found the part they needed the just rolled with it. It fucking worked, didn't it? It wasn't as convoluted as your autism forces you to believe.
>>64633474
>>64633279
I was just gonna say it's definitely the best Obi-Wan movie.
When is there gonna be a fan edit of the prequels that makes them all about Obi-Wan and turns II and III Anakin into a background character? I'm imagining a Kill Bill style two parter.
Edit out Sheev and Yoda ever using lightsabers and trim most of II's love story. Maybe even edit it so their romance isn't secret.
The Phantom Edit was basically the opposite, cutting II's Obi-Wan scenes and adding in deleted scenes of the Anakin-Padme romance.

>>64634909
Any movie or setting needs a foundation to work on. A good movie conveys the rules of the world visually by logical and comprehensible actions of the characters, which is something TPM failed at on every level. Suspension of disbelief works when some character bends the rules of the world, making you give them the benefit of the doubt in that situation. However, suspension of disbelief does not work when it used to abrogate any logic from the movie, as it leaves the movie without a foundation to stand on.
Ie, use logical setup and pay-off in a movie to justify character's actions and motivations
I did not understand Yoda and the Council on this decision
>send a teenager to guard a teenager
>they become close and fall in love
>Obi-wan knows they were married but hid it for some reason I can't remember
It should be easy to re-release movies with updated CGI right? Why doesn't this happen more often

Change "I>III>VII" to "VII=III>I" and it's fine. Seven was a shitshow artistically, but it was a competently constructed film. Three was less well technically constructed, but it had a more original story and had some actual emotional moments. One is trash, literally nothing I like about it at all.
However...
>>64633279
Two is even worse trash. Not only is there nothing I really like about it, there's just too many moments that make me want to stop being aware of my surroundings and just go into a coma.

>It's flawed, yes, but it's awesome in so many ways that VII can't even grasp at. Even I has this magic that escapes VII
I do agree that, for all the prequels' flaws, at least they bothered to try and do something new and different, and there are a few moments where it does pay off, if only a few. VII is a more competent film, but that's mainly because it's imitating one of the more beloved films of all time.
Doesn't make the prequels good.

The prequels are flawed, in some cases badly, but they're still good. Except for Attack of the Clones. And they're imaginative and actually expand and detail the universe and lore of Star Wars, which even the CGI cartoon series do. And Lucas was trying to make art.

The star wars prequels make up seriously the worst high-profile/big-budget movie trilogy of all time. Really. Even the Hobbit trilogy is a fucking masterpiece compared to the PT.
Prequel apologists = young faggots with nostalgic memories of watching and liking the prequels when they were happy, impressionable children. I was old enough to realize that the prequels were all objectively terrible movies when they first came out.
Revenge of the Sith was absolute shit; the kind of people who put that above Return of the Jedi are completely delusional and are the worst kind of prequel apologists. And TFA wasn't a masterpiece by any means, but to say any of the prequels were better than it is delusional as well.

It's artistically very beautiful for sure, and Lucas' use of color and tone is amazing. The action scenes were tremendous and brilliantly shot.
I just can't get past Christensen and Portman's lack of chemistry on screen. It's anti-chemistry. In the presence of those scenes, water turns to ice and gold turns to lead.

>>64641672
But you have the same crap in ROTS and that film is just depressing and more constrained. AOTC is the only prequel that feels like a real adventure. TPM is a bore that has to fall on the sword of being an introductory. AOTC has so much going on it's insane.

I'll avoid citing any specific stupid lines as "flaws", particularly meme ones, but they are there and deserve at least as much hate as they get.
>obi-wan is carrying a tracker in his pocket that can just stick to the side of a ship about to jump to light-speed no problem, Jango can detect he's being tracked but doesn't notice until they're already at Geonosis
I will make a point that Anakin going to Tatooine simply because he had a vision actually makes sense for his character.
>Padme goes with him to Tatooine because fuck safety, remember even the movie doesn't think they're "in love" yet
>anakin has met Beru and Lars, but obi-wan still thinks this is a safe place for Luke later
Don't say anything about that being a flaw of RotS, they were just following OT canon, this movie is the one that established Anakin knew them.
>anakin goes from being a bratty kid to slaughtering n entire village in the span of a few scenes, the movie thinks this is logical character progression

is this actually from episode II? wow

C'mon now. And there's plenty of precedent for child royalty in real-life history.

Anakin created C3PO
Yes, it's convenient, but who cares?
The Viceroy has no choice. Sidious got them off the hook for their crimes
Sidious and the Republic being corrupt as its been established by the films should suffice for you
He actually does not.
It's a great scene and it's purpose is to make the Jedi doubt the senate, which will create tension between the two and eventually lead to the Jedi being branded enemies of the Republic. It's a brilliant little seed to plant.

Forgot to mention:
>JarJar is a senator
This isn't a JarJar hate meme, I do hate him but that's not the point. He's apparently qualified to be a senator, and was elected by his people. The fact that he was made a general was dumb enough. This actually ONLY makes sense if that literally reddit theory is true, which it isn't.

Yeah, hereditary child monarchs are fine, and when I first saw TPM, that's what I thought she was. But if Naboo would ELECT a child queen who isn't just a figurehead, THAT is stupid
>>64642417
They aren't people at all, my entire point.
>>64642431
>Anakin created C3PO
And someone else finished him. The Lars' were obviously using him for something, Anakin just took him and there was no explanation as to why.
>Sidious got them off the hook for their crimes
this is never stated or implied
>It's a great scene and it's purpose is to make the Jedi doubt the senate
I know what it's purpose is, and I wouldn't call it a great scene, just two people sitting in a room talking with no creative camerawork.

It's amazing how you prequel nitpickers come to bat for TFA; a film with as much inspiration as a stick drawing.

Scene is played for laughs. Non-issue

>3po's head is compatible with the battle droid's body and vice versa
....................................
>jango is openly working for the separatists, but the clones are used without question for the rest of the flicks
Jango is a gun for hire, and for all the Jedi know they could have intercepted a would be Separatist army. They proved themselves in battle, and then the fog of war set in and they never properly investigated them. Certainly a weak point overall, but that's more of a ROTS issue.
>jarjar is easily guilted into supporting the military creation act and giving sheev emergency powers
Sounds perfectly within his character to do so.
>anakin, padme, and obiwan are made to fight in the arena instead of being immediately executed, even though the WHOLE REASON THIS WHOLE THING STARTED WAS TO KILL PADME
Why was it drawn out? Because it's fun. You can't be serious here.
>they managed to kill the wild alien animals and the separatists let them finish up instead of just shooting them
Go to hell.
>windu can just walk up behind dooku no problem, even though there were super battle droids down the same hallway
They were not aware that Obi Wan was able to report their location before he was captured, so their defenses were down.

This one I'm willing to concede, but wasn't the clones showing up meant to be a surprise attack? How were the droids able to marshal and form up so quickly? Like, less than a minute.

>"lol its just for fun lol"
>....................................
By compatible, I meant "the factory machines can attach them fine with no error". If anything, this makes it even more odd why 3po's head can't make his body stop shooting jedi, but his body responds to the battle droid's will just fine.
>Because it's fun

I must have forgot to say that these are only applicable if you forgot to TURN OFF YOUR BRAIN XD. Also, >implying that sequence was fun. If it was, I might consider letting it sit, but it was just as shitty as the rest of the action in this movie, cartoon characters shooting at eachother with pretty lights and no sense of danger because I know everyone important lives.

Well, that's it, my definitive diatribe on all the issues I can specifically remember off the top of my head in this god-awful movie. If whoever it was still thinks this flick is good or that TPM is worse, fine, I'm just making sure you have all the information of this trainwreck as I can give you.
>>64642979
>I agree that this happened
My point was that it was dumb. Only thing I could compare it to was a purposely ridiculous scene in an already ridiculous children's cartoon.
>but that's more of a ROTS issue
fair enough
>>64642979
>Sounds perfectly within his character to do so
>implying he has a character
My main point was that he's clearly only in the movie to do this, and it makes no sense that he's even a senator. I suppose, if you want to say that his character is "cowardly", it makes sense, but that begs the question of why the gungans would elect a cowardly idiot to represent them to the galaxy
>Go to hell
>sir, the prisoners are escaping
>eh, whatevs
The viceroy actually says to shoot her, and Dooku literally handwaves it away, I can't make this shit up.

The big thing I like about TPM over AotC and RotS is its use of on-location sets. Not every last scene is blue or green screen.
