ITT: Say something you liked about the prequels
>clonetrooper designs
>>63876207
Can't argue with that one.
>>63876207
The Order 66 scene was pretty cool, that feel of betrayal in the eys of tht coneheaded jedi especially
Ewan McGregor and Ian McDiarmid.
Hershlag's tummy.
>>63876207
Sheev
>>63876207
Clones actually knew how to aim, at least did it better than stormtroopers.
>>63876207
>>63876292
Sheev definitely.
After meeting Sheev, my life changed for better.
I carry his portrait in my suit pocket as a good luck charm.
Sheev's smile and personality always make me go through the day.
Christopher Lee got to be in a lightsaber fight.
>>63876207
Clones and Ship Battles were great
Greivous was also cool but I wish they had shown him like in Tartakovsky's cartoon.
- filled with tons of ridiculous and creative designs, be it machines, creatures or environments
- gave us Star Wars: Episode I Racer
>>63876207
Honestly? A whole lot of stuff. The first one, I found it obnoxiously, tiringly boring. The 2 and the 3 were quite chill. I like SW universe above anything else, and I both enjoyed the war scenes and all the fluff behind the clone trooper creation and their betrayal towards the jedi. Maybe it's because my mind isn't clouded with nostalgia since I never saw the original trilogy as a kid, but I didn't find them so bad.
Soundtrack was great. So was Maul's design.
LiterallyJar Jar
Thinking of rewatching every film. Should I start with the prequels or go chronologically.
>>63876625
chronologically, zero doubt
Sheev.
Maul is cool.
Dooku is cool.
Actually all the prequel bad guys are pretty cool, Grievous was cool too.
Pod Racing was okay, the game was a masterpiece.
A lot of the prequel based video games are very fun.
Mostly I like the prequels because they have a more interesting story ABOUT them than the actual plot of the movie. They're interesting to talk about and how it all went wrong.
I enjoy the prequels more than anyone I know (not sure how they are rated on /tv/ because this is legitimately my first time on /tv/), but I think 3 is the second best film in the whole saga. I love the story line of Palpatine/the republic crumbling/the rise of the empire/all of the politics. Also, I'm not sure if I'm using the spoiler tags right.
>>63876947
this. star wars prequels defined the atmosphere so much better than the first three. the expanded universe is so aimless and chaotic, while the spin-offs made by the prequels were fantastic
>>63876207
Revenge of the Sith was actually a decent movie.
Some of the stuff around prequels was pretty good.
>>63876985
Use spoiler tags like thisHello.
You type in ["spoiler"] (without the quotes, just the square brackets) before the words you want spoilered, and ["/spoiler"] (again, without quotes) at the end of what you want spoilered.
["spoiler"]So if I removed the quotes from this it would be spoilered["/spoiler"]like this
Sev is canon
>>63877072thanks man
>>63876207
The biggest flaw of the prequels was the crappy writing. The overall feel of the environments and the costume department was top notch. But then Lucas had to go with his cringeworthy dialogue and piss poor attempts at drama.
World=great
Writing and acting=shit
The fact thatJar Jar is a sith
Across the Stars
Droid Invasion
Duel of the Fates
Arrival at Kamino
Non soundtrack stuff:
Coruscant: The chase through it, the royal interior design, the way it looked from space
The goofiness of Ep I, although it was completely unfunny and sucked, it had a charm to it.
The mysterious and darker Ep II, if Lucas let the actors behave like humans and have normal personalities, it might have been ok. The dialogue needed major rewrites though.
The battle of Geonosis, all the jedi fighting. Dooku was evil looking and sounding, even if his background wasn't fully fleshed out.
>>63876207
Ship designs were also pretty cool
diners
I liked how different all the jedi masters looked, and their designs for the most part werent necessarily intended to look cool, but really alien which conveyed that any being could be strong with the force.
Jango

The soundtrack
>>63876207
Better than TFA
Didn't literally copy and past the OT (like TFA)
Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen, Liam Neeson, Samuel L Jackson, Ian McDiarmid, Christopher Lee.
>>63876207
Even though the idea of an army of clones is stupid when they can just conscript normal people, clone troopers were based as fuck
Sheev
Hershlag's midriff in episode 2.
Some of the ship designs.
That's pretty much it
>>63876207
Deathsticks
>>63878512
Oh and Darth Maul.
And the soundtrack

>>63877157
This is very true, but i actually really like the overall plot. Like how Sheev was taking over the republic from the inside, and how he was doing it by starting a proxy war with him in control of both sides. I just wish George had someone else handle the minutia
They spawned The Clone Wars, which feature some of the best Star Wars related media outside of the Original Trilogy.
Aayla Secura
I adore this revisionst history that's going to become vogue.
>>63876207
the esthetic/design in general was pretty great (shiny/art-deco), especially in light of the OT.
A more civilized weapon for a more civilized age.
>>63878546

>>63876207
Wookies on Kashyyk(sic)
Literally the meme value of Episode 3 already gives it far more value than TFA. Can't wait for Episode 8 which starts with the New Order attacking the Resistance on their new homeworld of Thoth, a frozen world with mysterious creatures such as the Stauntaun.
>>63878516
It would probably get more people on the empires side of they used clones initially

Vision. Even if it was often in need of corrective lenses, it was there.
Battle of the Heroes
Across the Stars
Duel of the Fates
Clones were cool I guess
I dno what else
>>63878546
Why grow a trillion people when you can just recruit a trillion people? I know that it was just so Sheev could wipe out the jedi but still, it's stupid.
>>63878618
Both.
Sheev
Hueg space fights
Ship designs
Droids and Clone designs
Dooku and Grievous
Score
Coruscant
>>63877072
>being this tech illiterate
Just highlight and ctrl + s
With the exception of Jar Jar, all of the lore and world building in the prequels was fucking fantastic.
If Lucas just stuck to what he's good at and dealt with said lore / vision and got Kasdan to do the script so the dialogue had emotional depth and wasn't dogshit (like JJ did in TFA), they would have been as good as the OT.
>>63878597
Not really. Everyone enjoyed the prequels when they were in theatres (even Episode 1), they all got solid reviews from trusted sources.
The only revisionist history is from jaded Generation X manchildren with a platform like Red Letter Media, Simon Pegg, Kevin Smith, etc, deifying the original movies.
They're all children's films at the end of the day. At least Lucas had the balls with the prequels to do something different and go full 100% pulp sci-fi serial homage.

That was one of things I really hated about TFA, everything feels just so uninspiring and bland.
I love the beginning of Episode III, especially when the clone and the droid ships are firing at each other using manual loaded artillery

Simon and Kevin are literal hypocrites and suck ups. Smith said TPM was "second to empire" when it came out and he got a sneak peak. Pegg says he like Star Trek move because he was working on STB at the time so that's why
>>63878665
Don't forget that off-kilter rendition of the Force theme from the battle over coruscant with the timpani providing a pounding martial drumbeat
>>63876207
padme is hot.
>>63878495
>the emotions these two videos evoke
i cant even
i'll always hate the prequel haters, i know now its HIP to defend prequels and shit on TFA but since I was born in 1990 and was 9, 12, and 15 for the prequels, after seeing the OT countless times before and after '99, I fucking loved each prequel.
And now George isn't involved in his own creation ;_;
>>63878670
>why grow a million people when you can recruit a million people
Because clones were more obedient, and they were raised from birth to be soldiers
>>63878807
Got a link famiglia?

Not only is the Clone Wars superior to that dreck, it's superior to the prequels.
>>63878670
It reinforces the utter lack of balls that the Republic had. Rather than upset their constituents by raising an army from them to fight the droids, they would rather take the easy way out and let clones (of dubious origin and remarkably convenient timing) fight the war for them.
There is a reason that democracy dies to thunderous applause
>>63878670
folks will be more loyal to their planet than the republic/empire. think HRE or the US before the civil war.
Everything except the sand. I hate sand
>>63878873
I agree with all of that apart from the Anakin vs Obi Wan duel. they went way over the top with that and it turned into a cartoon. The duel against Maul and Anakin / Obi Wan / Yoda vs Dooku in I and II were way better.
>>63878838
Generally soldiers in an army tend to be obedient and they were made to be cannon fodder so their skills are irrelevant
>>63876207
Natalie Portman
>>63878883
that too, can't have mass losses among the constit'ency.
>>63878748
That's the best refutation you have?

http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/star-wars-episode-iii-revenge-of-the-sith-2005
The casting was actually amazing.
Could not have picked better actors and I fucking mean that.
The arena scene in Episode II is still watchable for me, and the downfall of the Jedi in Episode III, while not what i would do, is pretty cool. I guess despite all it's failure the PT managed to create a world that felt exactly like Germany before the Nazis came to power, which i have never realized before
Worst thing about TFA isthe OST
Seriously when I think back to the Duel of Fates it is so much more awesome than any track in TFA
>>63878770
If there was anything I disliked about TFA it was the lack of powerful score. It could've really used a moment like that
>>63878613
>There were 1 trillion people on coruscant alone
That's a conservative estimate. I remember a thread ages ago where some anon estimated the actual population of coruscant.
Even at the low end, assuming the landmass packed in at population densities of modern day cities (pic related) it's still over a trillion people. And once you factor in that these structures are miles high with technology to have a large city flying through space, and that coruscant has the same size, gravity, and rotation as earth, but with only one medium sized ocean on the planet, and the ice caps breaking up the continuous cityscape.
Its cool for a fantasy idea, but looking at it realistically, logistically, its fucking impossible.
>>63878670
You literally answered your own question. Sheev needed an obedient, unquestioning army to execute the Jedi when the time came.
If you mean the senate, then the Republic had been without a standing army for years. The CIS is knocking on the door and the clone army is ready to fight. The Chancellor has just been granted emergency powers and can have the clones deployed immediately in the name of bringing a swift end to the conflict. Why would they waste the time to train civilians?
And finally, remember that the whole war was a sham. It doesn't matter how many clone troopers there are relative to citizens when the fighting is being orchestrated by one person.
>>63878880
Yeah, if you're like 15 years old.

>>63877157
>The overall feel of the environments
With the exception of the phantom menace, all the locations feel like a green screen set with a screen saver.

Pod Racing game for N64 was fun as fuck desu, senpai.
A few of Anakin's expressions in III.
>>63878777
Trips don't lie. Y-Wings and B-Wings were always cooler than X-Wings, TIE interceptors and bombers were always cooler than TIE fighters.
Honestly I just really miss the insane visual inventiveness of the prequels. I don't think even the original trilogy has anything that can hold a candle to the ARC fighters, Jedi starfighters (both versions), or the V-Wings.
>>63878670
It would have been better if the clones were a core of special elite units while the rest of the army was made of regular aliens from every planet
Order 66 would still have worked because jedi generals would have logically been at the head of clone batallions
It would even have explained the OT rebellion better since many regular troopers would have defected after having seen their beloved generals get executed by clones
>>63879059
Dem feels.
Ki-adi-mundi was fucking great.
>>63878980
Naw.
>>63879032
It just seems stupid to think that EVERY soldier in the Republic Army and Navy which would have to number in the hundreds of billions even by conservative estimates is a clone.
But whatever, clone troopers were some of the best things about the PT.
>>63879165
>that scene where he fucking cries after killing those Japanese aliens on Mustafar
>immediately after thinks the love of his life betrays him even though he was only trying to save her
More than a few moments made that character great, anon.
>>63879178
At least he didn't die in 7s to Sheev like Kit Fisto and Plo Koon ;_;
>>63879083
yeah could have used more practical effects but the design was pretty great.

Just "special edition" that shit.
Rerelease the films with updated CGI and whatnot.
>>63876292
the sheev spin was the most defining move in the star wars saga
>>63879178
>liking penishead
What I hated about order 66 was that apparently ALL jedi except for yoda and obiwan were killed by a bunch of fucking clone troopers
I just cannot believe that. Surely some of the more senior jedi would have sensed the imminent assassination attempt and fought them off.
Out of ALL THE FUCKING JEDI, you tell me only yoda and obiwan survived?
BULL
SHIT
Those episode 2 clones were so cool looking. The whole atmosphere of the clone wars was pretty nice too

Really, if they'd gotten someone else to write the dialogue and direct the damn things, they could have been great.
>>63879037
Nah, they're superior no matter what age you are, more mature in their darker arks than anything you saw in the prequels.
And it's not like The Phantom Menace wasn't an unsuccessful attempt to bridge a gap between toddlers and Baby Boomer C-Span fans to begin with, I'd say the Clone Wars was going for the Linkin Park demographic and the III was the only one that drove Lucas to make them in the first place.
THE CLONE WARS TV SHOW WAS THE BEST PART OF THE PREQEULS, NAY, ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF STAR WARS

If you think about the Empire as a terribly corrupt semi-incompetent comie-nazi regime with no regard for life it kinda makes sense their stuff would be shit.

>there's 3 cuckolds ITT

>Literally filler
The entire movie could be summed up in an opening crawler.
>>63879660
He probably had a big red button on his desk with a big 66 on it. Like the big red phone in the oval office, that sent a priority communication to all the clones everywhere at once.
You figure the biggest part of order 66 is the surprise factor, so it needs to be all at once.
The few that survived got hunted down by vader in the intervening years.
>>63879506
No, but according to Lucas, Anakin did.
He's Linkin Park tier in the prequels.
He's an actual character in the Clone Wars series.
>>63879273
In the EU and clone wars/rebels shows, more jedi did survive, but I agree with the sentiment. The jedi were mostly depicted like one man armies in battle. It doesn't seem believable.
>>63879356

>>63879730
I used to hate how in the first Clone Wars cartoon he was a beast in lightsaber combat, wrecking 5 jedis, 3 of them being masters, at the same time with only 2 sabers, then he went against Obi Wan with 4 and couldn't get a hit in.
Then I rewatched the cartoon and saw how Mace Windu crushed the shit of what internal organs he had left, which could explain his voice change and weakness in the movie.

The AotC battle and RotS opening were visually amazing, but the story and characters are so weak that it felt like there no stakes to either of them.

My stepbro told me about this when we marathoned the episodes a few weeks ago. I knew they dropped the idea by episode 2 but it made 1 so much better, like how all that goofy tankbusting was actually Jar Jar being a legitimate beast.

This was probably one of my favourite Star Wars theme since the Phantom Menace game.
Well that is also good thing that came our of prequels.

>>63878568
This exactly. The idea of an ancient evil wizard taking control of a corrupt democracy by manipulating everyone and turning a powerful knight to his side is pretty cool.
George needed a co-writer to sort out his confusing plot details and wooden dialogue

I have fond memories of playing that on PS1.
>>63880384
>padawan official haircut
>spiky high fade and odd center rat tail
That was the day I no longer wanted to become a jedi.
The movies suffered from wooden acting and crap dialogue. I even didn't hate Jar Jar. It was also too long winded. Who gives a fuck about politics? Not me. I wanted cool shit and not 5 minute monologues about treaties and shit. They should have edited the prequels down to just the bare essentials.
>>63878614
>Jango is better than Boba
Shit, you're right, Jango has a kickass fight with Obi Wan, kills a Jedi, and gets an awesome decapitation death. Boba is just some jobber who gets knocked into a pit by blind Han Solo.
>>63880384
Obi-Wan was based.
>dat final duel with Maul
He went all out.
Easily above Padawan Anakin and Luke.
Dammit George, why didn't you think things through more and make Grievous the Darth Vader of the prequels?

>>63879990
I agree with this one
>>63880642
The way it should have been:
>Grievous is some alien thing in charge of the droid army/blockade in Episode I, gets fucked up by the Jedi prior to Darth Maul fight and left for dead, hates Obi-Wan as a result
>Gets rebuilt as badass robot thing in Episode II by Dooku and the CIS forces, keeps Obi-Wan and Anakin busy while Dooku fights Yoda (Dooku/Yoda fight would not involve lightsabers, it'd be more like Egg Shen vs Lo Pan in Big Trouble In Little China, a battle of minds)
>Basically exactly as he was in Episode III but with the added subtext of a pre-existing desire to murder Obi-Wan
>>63880668
Even if they haven't been retired out of service yet, and for pottery reasons, why not have a few y-wings.
But the b-wings were brand new in Jedi, they should totally still be inside of an operational lifespan if the fucking y wing and x wing are. And they're designed for blowing the shit out of imperial fuckhueg targets.

I would still have Maul kill Qui-Gon - but Grievous could hold up Obi-Wan, so he wasn't there to save him. That could be a good motivation for Obi-Wan being so reckless in Episode III.

Yes. Let's have a non-force user as the most competent Star Wars villain - sure.
Grievous fit the bill. And if you watch the clone wars you'll get his canonical backstory, he wasn't OP or underpowered.

Main problem with the Prequels is that:
>every Jedi is a fucking cunt
>the Republic is a piece of shit
>literally forces you to side with Palpatine for everything
I always assumed this was not intended, but that's how it ends up being.
Who can tolerate Yoda and Maced Dindu? They're smug pricks who can't argue anything apart from MUH TRADITION and would rather people die than fight.
>yeah, your mom's a slave, who cares, we can't interfere because muh moral code

Droid starfighter doesn't get enough love. This is how you do an unmanned multi-role fighter. Fucker can turn into a walker too.
Droidekas are also the single most devastating piece of military technology in the entire saga. Just 2 of them can force jedi masters to run away.

Why didn't the CiS use more of these? All the Jedi could do were run away from them
>>63882392
He mostly likely had foresight into his design and made sure it would work with one side destroyed. 2 crystals maybe?
>>63882463
Expensive.
I sure liked the prequels.
>>63882463
They probably ran because it was taking too long, but they show clones training on how to destroy them in TCW (roll a grenade slow enough to go through the shield) and plenty of jedi destroying them (usually by sliding beneath them the slicing upward)
>>63882507
>has enough money to send in millions of shipments of canon fodder droids
>can't afford more than 2 droidekas
Great money management, San Hill
>>63882542
Well, if you had to individually take them out like that surely they become infinitely more effective than normal battle droids?
>>63882488
Or he literally glued two normal sabers together.
>>63882544
OI M8, HEARD YOU TALKING SHIT ABOUT SAN.
These little proto A-wing fuckers were pretty cool.
>>63882565
Obviously they don't hold up against heavy fire, but indeed droidekas are goat
>>63882572
Yeah let's go with that.
Ray Park's Chinese martial arts skills were a nice asset, helped sell the fight.
>>63882615
These too, since you can see the origins of the TIE.
Is there any EU content being made that includes General Grievous?
>>63879195
>>63879195
i think the point was clones were mobile, had resources, and were cheaper and wouldnt piss off the public as much.
The clone were suppossedly tactical strikers and didnt usually go for that mass attack shit, so they didnt need to be more than a couple of million, plus the planets themselves had their own security forces.

>>63882851
Plo Koon is the one I feel the worst for during the Order 66 scene
In one of the better CGI Clone Wars episodes, he rescues a group of clones that are drifting in space after a battle. Several times they beg him to just give up and leave them but he doesn't.
>"General, you need to get out of here! We're expendable!"

Dude cared deeply about each individual clone and they shoot him down. Tragic really.

CGI Clone Wars is full of great stuff like that. The viewing order for the prequels should really go
>Ep 1
>Ep 2
>Best episodes of Clone Wars (there's a guide somewhere)
>Ep 3
It does a great job of bridging the gap and makes you actually give a shit about some of the seemingly throwaway stuff in Ep 3. Also miraculously Anakin is actually likable in it.
>>63878670
This is actually answered in TFA. When Ren comments to Hux about why not using a clone army.
The clones are obedient unlike Hux's "Elite Stormtroopers" who he said were flawless. Finn becomes a TRAITOR basically the moment the movie begins showing that forced conscription/regular citizens aren't good soldiers.

Clones are shit. They die fast, they're a waste of time, training, and they have no soul (figuratively).
Imperials need to be normal people to be good soldiers and vice versa. Citizens should be soldiers. Nobody else should be allowed to vote.

The fact that they lack humanity is a good thing, it allowed them to execute Order 66 without hesitation. And the clone troopers were much better trained and physically able then regular storm troopers. They had the genes of the best bounty hunter in the fucking Galaxy in them.
Citizens would wind up like Finn, scared and unwilling to do the dirty work like executing those members of the desert camp at the start of TFA.

Friend, being a human allows you to do much worse with even less hesitation.
Besides, clones are completely human.

>>63883593
In my experience, people who like ROTJ more than ESB are the ones who are really into the ships/space battles.
Nothing else in the saga even comes close to that final space battle. It's so good, along with the throne room scenes, that ewoks are irrelevant.
They should have been Wookies like originally planned though. Replace Ewoks with Wookies and ROTJ becomes the best in the series. Tragic mis-step.

Nope, plenty have humanity, they have traitors, and some who bail and go AWOL, one even marries a Twi-lek with kids.
its reveal order 66 is caused by a chip in their brain, one trooper's chip goes hay-wire and malfunctions and he kills a jedi waaay ahead of schedual, then it turns into a giant political thriller mystery and ends in one of the most depressing and heart crushing ways.

It never occurred to me before, but is that why Lucas included them in Episode 3? Regret?
