GEORGE LUCAS RAPED MY CHILDHOOD LMAO DO U WANT A PIZZA ROLL ;) JAR JAR IS THE KEY TO ALL THIS :-D HAHA UPVOTE AND SHARE PLS

>51-69 year olds
Star Wars ruined cinema forever, that includes the originals. We used to have intelligent movies like The Godfather and 2001 before this shit came along

They're messy movies which fail both in spirit and technical competence. I could easily live the rest of my life without seeing the prequels again.

they are almost complete failures but have given me hours of entertainment thanks to the butthurt cottage industry they spawned, far more than the new trilogy will ever achieve.

Fuckin' hate 'em

I was supervising some kids playing Lego at the library and they kept calling the Boba Fett Slave I "Jango Fett's ship".

25, grew up with the prequels, I recognize that they are inferior to the OT, but I got some entertainment out of them.

Looking back, the prequels had more spirit and charm than the rest of the cookie cutter blockbusters we've been getting for the last decade.

Sadly, it's probably those who are 70+ who hate Star Wars now, people in their fifties and sixties found themselves relating to the rebel scum.

When I walked out of Attack of the Clones, there was a very young blond boy on crutches who was being escorted into the washroom by his father. The kid said how much he enjoyed the scene where Yoda threw off his crutches and fought Count Dooku. His dad just kind of nodded anxiously.

Needless to say, I slammed his head into the wall!

At least check out HAL9000's edits of the prequel trilogy. He makes them somewhat watchable although you cannot polish a turd so we're better off without watching them at all.

I and II sucked but they're fun to watch
III was on par with the originals
>>
18-34
Movies were utter shit. Watch originals recently and they weren't much better desu senpai. I think because of the nostalgia factor/growing up watching them was the only reason I could finish em
>>
>>62982370
This sounds like copycats from the IMDb forums
>>
The prequels are weak, no matter how much you try to defend them. Nothing will ever make them good aside from a total rewrite of everything from the start of the Phantom Menace
>>
>>62982054
They are, to a fault absolute donkey shit. Lucas made retard tier decisions.

> in his original concept Anakin was meant to be about 14 in the first film, to make his romance with Padme, pod racing and fighter piloting more credible
> instead he makes him like 9 to make the parting with his mother more emotional and explain his dark side ways
> really it's his mother being gang raped and killed by sand people that get him to start the dark path, which I'd wager would sting anyone at any age
> we ended up with annoying 9 year old doing shit that was just ridiculous
> jar jar....
> the entire second film is badly acted donkey shit, end to end and serves no purpose
> every line of dialogue in the romance scenes and about 99% of the dialogue between Obi Wan and Anakin is fucking retarded.
> Obi Wan comes off a patronizing fuckwit. He can't seemingly speak to Anakin without calling him 'his young padawan', 'young apprentice', etc.
> green screen filming the entire film made bad acting and dialogue worse.
> light sabre fight between Anakin and Obi Wan was some baton twirling bullshit
> Yoda/ Emperor fight was ridiculously scripted. Yoda falls about 80 feet and just gives up. Wtf.

And to top it all off, all of its computer generated schmooze made it feel about as much like Star Wars as a banana makes a chimp feel like a human.

It was just a total lack of respect shown to his own source material resulting in shit.

Only good thing about them was Ray Park's Darth Maul, but even that scene is ruined because it's got a nine year old in a space ship flying around going 'whooo, oh oh' cut over it half the time.

And I'm 30. Basically prequels are fucking disasterous.
>>
Nah fuck off they're objectively shit. the cinematography alone (excluding TPM) is enough to sink them.

>implying Return of the Jedi wasn't shit

>>62983152
Jedi was definitive.

>>62982054
They are not all right action movies. They are fucking terrible.

I mean holy shit the first one was so bad that, as a 15 year old, I went back to see it the next day because I felt like I must have missed something. Like there was some kind of character development or key plot point I had missed

You could literally start the ENTIRE FUCKING SERIES at the 2nd movie and NOTHING WOULD BE LOST

The 2nd and 3rd are awful too.
>>
>>62982054

I'm 24. My dad showed me the originals first but he never told me to hate the prequels. I liked The Phantom Menace when I saw it in theaters but didn't like episodes II and III when they came out. I re-watched The Phantom Menace yesterday and it's far worse than I remembered it being. I really don't have nostalgia for the prequels the same way I do for 90s Disney movies.
>>
Why are you posting above 25 for this shit here?
No one older than that here actually thinks this trash series is good. Its only teenagers and manchildren trying to impress people with their "nerd" cred on facebook
>>
>>62982054

18-34 also

The movies are fucking shit. And the original trilogy is highly overrated

Watching The Phantom Menace is like experiencing a mental implosion. You have to keep your wits about you, or you'll succumb to foolishness.

I can only imagine that Phantom Menace was a little like what Aristophanes's plays would have been like.

>>62982054
How the fuck are the prequels nostalgia for people over thirty? Prequel defenders are so retarded it hurts

Prequels were a mess, solidly proved that Lucas should have just stuck to producing after the original trilogy. Also pic related, this fuckwit did irreversible damage to the franchise as well.
