He wins this round.
>>63819358
Sure about that?
>>63819426
I don't know if aliens who are caricatures of real world ethnic groups count as diversity, but it's probably what Lucas was thinking when he put them in.
>>63819426
based
>>63819358
I'll take some "forced diversity" over Lucas' brand of schlock any day.
In the first ten minutes of the movie we get more of a reason for Poe and Finn to be bros than we ever get in the entire of the prequels for Anakin and Obi-wan to be friends.

Re-watching this, it honestly feels more like Star Wars than TFA, which I just saw last night.
Let's be honest, The Phantom Menace is ten times better than TFA, prequels are massively underrated because of quirky redditors "le prequels are bad mmmkay epic maymay", Lucas is a fantastic director and a real human being, try to watch Red Tails if you want to see a good war movie. Hating on Lucas or prequels is literally reddit-tier
>>63819358
YeH, but you got schooled on how to make a movie that actually looks and feels as yours
>>63819694
Agreed. Anyone that cannot appreciate the cinematic masterpiece that is Howard the Duck needs to leave this board.
>>63819694
The prequels are crap and nobody disagreed with this until 48 hours ago when The Force Awakens was released. All of a sudden, people want to pretend Lucas was a good filmmaker after the 70s.
Fuck off.
>>63819426
nah that's just good ol casual racis
>>63819358
Please come back George.
>>63819761
I hardly see any people writing on these boards about how good were the prequels, if anything, TFA does nothing to fuel the general hatred the fanbase has for the movies
>>63819358
No, fuck off and die.
>>63819694
Let's be honest.

>"At least I didn't force unnecessary diversity into my movies."
>almost every extra is nonwhite or rubber forehead
Okay.
>>63819761
sorry but even roger ebert agrees TFA is a 3.5/4 movie
autistic redditors are literally stupid
>>63819358
>A New Hope was a movie about white people fighting in space with the occasional alien and no niggers
The 70s were a magical decade.
>>63819358
This is like people missing George W. Bush.
>>63819761
I always respected the prequels for at least being ambitious and expanding the Star Wars universe.
>>63819606
my nigga, just watched this today
funny how it was unironically "diverse" too and it didnt even matter (ie the women bounty hunter)
>>63819426
Love this pic kek
i miss ship battles and more than two different fighters
>>63819850
That's because George W was a great President.
>>63819358
Definitely miss your visuals. Can't say the same for your writing.
"Star Wars: Episode I--The Phantom Menace," to cite its full title, is an astonishing achievement in imaginative filmmaking.
>>63819851
No you didn't. You were bored by them, but you watched them enough times to convince yourself they were okay. Now they're "good."
They are plastic nonsense, Lucas lost his touch before you were born, and you know it. Fuck off.
>>63819895
>That's because George W was a great President.
No George. You just made use watch this fat cow flop her eight tits around you sick fuck.
>>63819358
Was Lando neccessary?

>>63819895
jesus christ TFA is so bad it's got people wanting bush back
>>63819997
imagine if he saw TFA
that shit would get no higher than 2/4
>>63819925
I enjoy watching them because they were fun movies I watched when I was younger, and they bring me back to that while having brightly colored action scenes
Fuck off
>>63819975
But Samuel Jackson wasn't cast to be a diversity casting, he was cast because he was Samuel Jackson.
>>63819838
Roger Ebert is dead you mega mongoloid.
Just like Star Wars.
>>63819925
>but you watched them enough times to convince yourself they were okay.
"okay" is the best way to describe the film in terms of its writing. I like the movie a little less now that I'm older because I recognize many of its problems, but unlike an autistic redditor (ie yourself), I'm actually able to weigh the good and bad objectively and come to an educated conclusion.
"Ambitious" and "expanding the Star Wars universe" says nothing of the overall quality of the writing, moreover so again your post here just makes you look stupid, but I do count these as merits to the film's credit and it's certainly more than can be said for Abram's cash grab schlock that plays on people's lowest emotional heartstrings, including their nostalgia for a movie they could just watch at home for free or watch a re-screening of if they want that same genuine "feel" again, and which also relies on meme hatred for the prequels like they're "da wurst movies everrrrr. JAR JAR KILLED STAR WARS, GUYZ" which already is becoming exhaustive.
I have just done a marathon of all 6 movies in order of release for the first time in my life.
Going by episode:
5>4>3>6>1>2
>>63820043
i agree family
>>63820119
yeah you see i didn't thnk 3 was bad either...or 1 for that matter. 2 is pretty intolerable though

lol you grew up with the prequels. Just lol
>>63820111
You also grew up with the prequels. Pic related
You will never get it, and I never thought I'd live to see the day where I'd have to tell people that everyone aside from you thinks the prequels suck. It's been common knowledge for 15+ years.
>>63819694
I predicted the nature of the reddit boogeyman on this board would make retards such as this guy think that pile of shit is good.
>>63820294
he's SAMUEL FUCKING JACKSON. he's in there cos he's SAMUEL FUCKING KACKSON KIDDA
>>63820296
I'm 52 years old why do I enjoy the prequels?
>>63820336
Because you adore the OT and convinced yourself over the course of the last 15 years that the prequels are decent after watching them a million times?
>>63820296
>30+ year old man on an imageboard for bangladeshi stop motion stereoscopes using so many "lols" unironically
btw, I grew up with the OT first.
>>63820417
I've seen them around 3 times over the last decade but alright. OT is a 9/10. Prequels are a 7/10...would have been an 8/10 if Clones didn't drag it down somewhat.
I've seen the OT a million times, though...and so has my son.
>>63820532
>and so has my wifes son.
one job anon
>>63820532
How old is your son?
>>63820460
Then why do you defend the shit prequels?
>>63820532
Why have you and your son seen the OT a million times, but have only watched the prequels 3 times? Because they suck!
For fucks sake, change the fucking record.
It's literally becoming NO BLACK PEOPLE ALLOWED with you guys. Any time you see a non white character in a mainstream franchise you shit the bed, you're just as bad as the SJW's complaining about the lack of diversity in fucking Medieval movies.
>>63820417
you so far haven't actually proven the prequels are exceptionally suckish (any more than the average sci-fi movie) in any way except by appealing to the consensus of equally autistic manchildren
Also, very few people here are saying the prequels are astounding to any degree, we're just not trying to fit in by seeing who can jerk oneself to how bad they are like your ilk do and at least respecting what they did that was right. At their best, they can reach 7 or 8/10, at their worst, they're 5 or 6/10 but still watchable. Again, I can at least appreciate them for the amount of work that went into them and how they tried to push the envelope of the sci-fi genre, if nothing else.
But memesters just care about earning internet points for saying the most witty insult. But of course, we've seen now the kind of glorified kike-produced fanfiction they'll gobble up. And now more people are waking up and realizing that for as bad as the prequels could get, they at least weren't so heartless and realizing that half the people who insult the prequels are completely clueless about what went wrong with them.
>>63820294
Idiot, he was there because he's badass Samuel L Jackson, not brcause they felt they needed a black guy.
>>63820692
>pulling out nonexistant arguments out your ass
>This past summer, "Jurassic World" made history when opening to $524.9 million
>"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" began its global assault on Wednesday, grossing $14.1 million
JUST
>>63820768
They needed to appeal to the urban market
>>63820692
That was before the release.
Now most people don't care about Boyega and they mostly hate the movie for the Mary Sue protagonist and the ridiculous main antagonist.
>>63819968
Lando was a good character.
>>63820800
at least they didn't pander with Windu by having him talk in an anachronistic way.
>>63820920
I'd have to say that Samuel L Jackson was a miscast for a wise calm jedi.
Billy D williams was cast perfectly
>>63820659
>Then why do you defend the shit prequels?
Because they aren't nearly as bad you pretend them to be so you can look funny or make believe you're patrician.
If you defend The Force Awakens but hate the prequels so much, you're literally just a reddit-tier memer who only wants rehashed garbage and have absolutely no right to criticize the prequels, as bad as they could be, because your solution to make a better Star Wars movie is just to make an inferior carbon copy of A New Hope to relive that "feeling."
>>63819358
At least you knew how to pace a movie.
And design villains.
>TFA was a clever ploy to give the franchise to a popular director, who would then make a Star Wars trilogy so bad it retroactively redeemed George Lucas's name
>It backfired, and people are lauding a barely 3/5 movie as the greatest thing since the OT simply because it isn't The Phantom Menace
Can we talk about anything but Star Wars for once please, like how fun the TMNT2 trailer looked or the Ultraman trailer looking crisp as fuck with no shakycam bullshit in monster fights.
>>63821312
HE'S NOT MAKING THE TRILOGY YOU FUCK
>>63819850
>>63821517
He's producing the other 2 movies.
>>63819358
George "jungle fever" Lucas is the writer for this movie. He sold it under one condition that they make episode 7 with the script he wrote.
>>63821517
Thank goodness. Who's directing the last two films, then?
>>63822341
A black woman who makes films about black people, and the other one is not public knowledge yet.
