Was it really that bad?
It had a lot of potential that war unfortunately wasted, especially how Jar Jar was supposed to be a Sith Lord until George pussied out. Probably the best parts would be all the scenes on Tatooine, the pod race, and the final duel with Darth Maul (Who shouldn't have been killed off so early IMO). The terrible dialogue and overly complicated story dragged it down, unfortunately.
It's still better than TFA, although that's not saying much.

That lightsaber fight was p dope.

Fuck off.
>>69743563
the only good prequel
solid 6/10 kino
>>69744026
Calling it Reddit won't make it any less true.
>>69743563
I would rather rewatch it than TFA tbqh
It's better than any of the movies that followed.
>>69743563
It was worse
>>69743563
"That bad" as in "as bad as /tv/ describes"?
Way worse. /tv/ gets bizarrely mealy-mouthed about this asinine and poorly-made film.
>>69744093
Its literally a fan theory that came from reddit.
>>69743930
lol yeah i love the darth jar jar theory here's an upvote!
Has maybe the best OST of the series
>>69744197
>>69744237
Jar Jar's actor literally confirmed that it was true in an interview.
>>69744284
Oh I didn't realize this is the part where you make things up on /tv/ and everyone is supposed to believe you.
>>69744284
Oh he literally did did he?

If the exact same theory had been posted here first you'd be talking about how it's true and that only patricians understood the beauty of the prequels. This relentless Reddit boogeyman shitposting is why even our own mods think we're a laughingstock (Pic related)
Did JJ make these shitty lens flare covers of EP. I-III ?

He's working on the movies.
What was his struggle?
>>69744771
You literally have no argument against it, so you resort to posting laughing reaction images to try and discredit it.
It was pure kino
better than attack of the clones, worse than return of the jedi. to me, it's about even with revenge of the sith.
i can't really enjoy any of the prequels; they just feel so sterile.
>>69743563
Yes. If you don't care at all about star wars or what it does to the franchise, it's still a gruelingly boring piece of shit where every character action and plot progression makes absolutely no sense.
>>69743563
No, but the Tatooine podracing scenes were too long imho.
>He actually believes in the Darth Jar Jar theory
Jesus fucking christ
Lucas is making up lies over and over
>>69745275
Care to explain how it's not true without resorting to le reddit bogeyman?
I like Episode I cause it looks like a movie and not a video game
The only prequel that is not complete trash
>>69745343
Nope.
>>69743563
Best of the prequels because its the last time they shot on film and built some fairly impressive sets.
After this though they just stopped trying with the technical aspects, they clearly thought they were leaving the past behind when they moved over to digital but Sith and AOTC aged horribly as a result.
Still not a fan though because its pretty fucking dull and I never liked star wars much anyway.
>>69745411
Oh, you're retarded. I'm sorry.
>>69745461
>its the last time they shot on film
Lucas actually shot a few scenes digitally and put them in the movie, challenging people to figure out which is which. I know the scene where Qui Gon is talking about midichloriens to anakin is definitely one. Its shot at night and stands out like a sore thumb.
>>69744796
Ironic...
>>69743563
my favourite SW movie for the world building alone, darth maul's music is also very nice even if a bit repetitive
If it didn't have jar jar or Jake Lloyd it would have been a great movie
Still light-years better than episode II
>>69744284
>>69745343
no he didn't
he confirmed that the character was rewritten
jar jar was originally meant to be a mercenary who betrays the team at the end
the darth jar jar theory is a classic case of mental gymnastics
Jar Jar should've been a Klingon-like creature 2bh.
yes it's fucking terrible fampai
>>69745885
>jar jar was originally meant to be a mercenary who betrays the team at the end
You'd better give fucking sauce on that nigger
>>69743563
At least it was somewhat original, unlike episode seven.

>5. Jar Jar Binks is actually a dick. Before being rewritten as comic relief, Jar Jar Binks was a duplicitous mercenary who ultimately betrays Qui-Gon Jinn.

>>69746785
you can say the same about the darth jar jar garbage theory
>>69746955
No, actually. The Darth Jar Jar theory has a bunch of proof like scenes in the film, interviews with Jar Jar's actor, concept art, and the fact that George felt he needed to make both trilogies "rhyme". Your "theory" is literally shit pulled from 2 sites that have no proof whatsoever to try and discredit something because your autism can't handle it.
>>69747324
>Your "theory"
this is not my theory. this a fact retard
>scenes in the film
yeah retarded moves and his eyes are undeniable evidences
>concept art
looks like a mercenary to me thanks pham
>George felt he needed to make both trilogies "rhyme"
George is a burnt out cokehead who is constantly making up lies
>Jar Jar's actor
he is trolling retarded redditors like you
>>69747865
>this is not my theory. this a fact retard
No it's not. There are literally no facts whatsoever in what you've posted.
>yeah retarded moves and his eyes are undeniable evidences
They kind of are, especially when you remember that George based the Jedi's fighting styles on different methods of swordfighting/martial arts
>looks like a mercenary to me thanks pham
In what way? Explain. Also, keep in mind that the art you posted is titled "Goonga Armor". Pic related is actual Jar Jar concept art.
>George is a burnt out cokehead who is constantly making up lies
Except George never said anything about the theory.
>he is trolling retarded redditors like you
Even if he is, what about the rest of the evidence supporting the theory?
I know thinking is hard for you and makes you angry, but smashing your keyboard only makes you look dumber than you already are.
>>69743930
>Jar Jar was supposed to be a Sith Lord
Just stop it. Even if it were more than a theory, it would have been even more fucking retarded than the Jar Jar we got if it actually made it into the movie.
>>69743563
It elevated the series from "generic scifi fiction" into a true space opera. Of course the dialogue was melodramatic, because that's how operas are. It introduced political intrigue, the tragic hero, the fated downfall of a republic. It was truly amazing. If you took the science fiction out of it, it'd still be like something Shakespeare wrote. It had a certain grace that the force awakens failed to captured and the original only hinted at.
>>69748492
Space action-adventure into space opera is nor an elevation
>>69743563
Yes. The only good part of the prequels was the battle on Mustafar and not because of the story behind it. That part is legitimately a spectacularly beautiful work of art filled to the brim with emotion and power. Most of /tv/ hates talking about movies in those sorts of artistic terms though and will just copypaste RLM's idiotic opinions.
It was AIDS, mixed with Cancer and anal puss. Fuck the prequels and anyone who likes or defends them literally wears diapers and shits into them.
>>69744968
No. In fact, TPM is the best of the prequels and I will NEVER understand why people think RotS is the best.
It fucks with my mindspace.
>>69748535
Yeah it is. One is something used to sell toys and movies. The other is a work of art.
>>69748640
Thanks for proving my point.
>>69743563
It has the best sets and and art direction of all the prequels. It has the best cast of all the prequels. It's the only one of the prequels with any kind of a feel of adventure. And it has the only fun sequence in the entire prequel trilogy, that being the podrace, it's the only sequence where I kind of felt any sort of tension and it was actually fun.

George is constantly playing the poor victim card and making up shit in order to polish this obnoxious turd

Of course he does, he has a non-existent career...he wants some attention

GREAT KINO BRAVO GEORGE
There is no "best of the prequels". They're all total garbage and I as a lifelong Star Wars fan do not count them as canon. They're sterile, lifeless idiotic video game cutscenes. I'm embarrassed for anyone who admits to liking anything about them.
>>69748906
Is this the first time you realized that /tv/ is nothing but contrarian retards posing as film afficionados? There's a new Star Wars film out there, of course they're going to hate it and love the ones that used to be hated.
>>69747865

>>69748894
>dumb slapstick != different methods of swordfighting/martial arts
When you make the comparison between the two it's obvious that Jar Jar's "clumsiness" is based on drunken fist, which involves making yourself look like a drunk/clumsy oaf to fool your enemy.
>Tough guy with an armor and a weapon
That's obviously concept for gungan armor and you know it.
>I pulled my picture from the same book so "my" picture is just as much a jar jar concept art as yours
Except the art I posted is labeled "Jar Jar Binx". Here's another video about it, although you're probably going to ignore it: https://youtu.be/AF3MYGS4M98
>George is constantly playing the poor victim card and making up shit in order to polish this obnoxious turd
Learn to read: I just said George hasn't said anything about this theory. Nada, nothing, zilch.
>Of course he does, he has a non-existent career...he wants some attention
Even if that's true, what about the rest of the evidence in support of the theory?
>stop projecting on me
I couldn't project onto you if you gave me a movie theater.
Why are you so upset, anyway? You can just choose not to believe the theory if that makes you feel better.
its the only enjoyable one cus theyre all rly bad movies but w this one at least saying "its good" makes fat bearded 30 y/o men super upset
>>69749312
Bruh, Jar Jar is not doing martial arts in any way, whatsoever.
>>69749236
>/tv/ is one person
hi /r/starwars

But those ARE pretty shots. Lucas might suck at a lot of things, like writing...and directing...and editing...but he's a good cinematographer.
>>69743930
You know, it's really hard to compare TFA and the Phantom Menace. For one Tfa has way worse score, and there was like only one great action scene that was great (The Tattoine escape).
But at least it wasn't a mess in storytelling
