7 felt like a remake. wheres the magic? new ideas? its pretty depressing actually. I miss watching star wars and actually seeing stuff worth having a reaction to. This new one reminds me of that total recall remake, just remaking a classic source material.

the prequels built from their own ideas. Its really shitty for Disney to buy a character like Han Solo and then kill him off just to build their Vader clone. At least George had film-making skills to make a character that sucked to watch die.

if you don't like star wars at all that's obviously prefferable and fine too in the large sense, but if you pretend to like star wars and claim you just enjoy the OT, you're a drone with no cinematic understanding

to J.J.'s credit, Kylo Ren is one of the most well dressed-sith in the movies. It's too bad they went overboard with his mental illness to the point where he resembled a capeshit bad guy.

Obi and Anakin are stoic jedi masters in their prime just like the other poker-faced individuals such as Windu and Yoda. They aren't regular people. From our real-world perspective, you could say they appear almost autistic. They don't act naturally. They're shut-in Jedi. Even in the star wars universe, most people feel awkward around them.

I love the prequels... however, I'm blinded by nostalgia. I was 9 when Episode I came out... so I had tons of friends into it, I had tons of toys, played the video games, went to Star Wars themed birthday parties, etc... an experience I never had with the originals. But I can say that there's probably a reason why everyone loves the originals (I do, but not with the same fondness) and hates the prequels. I acknowledge there's some really bad stuff involved, but the music is god-tier, the planets and atmosphere of the environments was awesome, the Saber fights were good, and Ewan McGregor total killed it.

Obi-Wan, Yoda weren't autistic and stoic in the OT.

I thought Liam Neeson nailed it, too. He was exactly the Jedi I imagined when Kenobi was talking about past generations of Jedi Knights in Episode IV.
>>
>>63960567

One could argue that they've mellowed out in all their years of exile, but holy shit, are you saying Yoda didn't have any stoic moments in the OT?

Also, Ewan McGregor nailed Alec Guiness' charm and friendly yet calm and collected Ben Kenobi throughout the prequels.

So? I was even younger than you when episode I came out, that doesn't mean I didn't watch the OT. In fact I watched those on VHS much more than I did PTM. And while the prequels have gotten worse and it's flaws become more obvious as I've gotten older, the OT is still as good as ever.

>>
>>63960567
just like in real life, people often loosen up and become a little more childish and senile during their elder years

this is really magnified with yoda, whereas with obi-wan it's a more subtle transition and is actually slightly the opposite of what he used to be. Even though he has some of his old sense of humor, you can see he is far more reserved and worn-out from his tragic loss. Even Yoda quickly from an immature hermit to his old self when he returns back to jedi training business.
>>
>>63958648
I agree. The new movie needed a 45 minute, emotionless fight scene filled with ass cg.

Also, not enough children died in TFA imo.

There's a lot wrong with the prequels as far as dialogue and pacing goes, and some regretful plot holes which only someone who gives a shit enough to read EU stuff would know the full answer to. But each one is at least a 7/10 film and more rewatchable than many other films better in their execution but not nearly as entertaining to watch.

hating on the prequels became a meme long ago
>>
>Over choreographed shit

I can only think of one duel in Revenge that had too much choreography and that was the Obi Wan vs Anakin duel. All the spinning and shit made sense because they both were essentially the same in the way they used a lightsaber, so they knew every move before they did it.

The Anakin vs Count Dooku duel on the Invisible hand wasn't too spectacular, but was just to show how much stronger Anakin is since they had their last show down
The Obi Wan vs Grievous fight took Obi Wan by surprise because he's never gone up against an enemy that can use 4 lightsabers at a time in a pretty much unknown fighting style, but he was quick to exploit him not being force sensitive

The whole "Muh Original trilogy duels with substance" argument is fucking stupid. I'm sure back then Lucas wanted to do the same shit but was limited by technology. The only duels without substance in the prequels are:

>Obi Wan and Anakin vs Count Dooku
>Qui gon and Obi Wan vs Darth Maul (When Qui gon is killed it becomes more than a dance)
>Grievous vs Obi Wan.

The original trilogy duels aren't exciting. Best one is the Obi Wan and Vader duel. But best duel is Anakin vs Obi Wan from prequels.

>Tatooine retroactively becomes more than just a ball of dirt nobody cares about as it serves an important part in the story of the Skywalker clan
>the emperor's homeworld is the site of the first conflict which eventually starts the end of the Old Republic and the rise of its senator as the future dark emperor
>the historic seat of the Republic for thousands of years which later becomes the center of the Empire
>lava planet where Vader is scarred (which is how he gets his iconic suit) after his fight with his former mentor which of course gives Obi-Wan Luke's first lightsaber which he later gives him in New Hope

Even the less important world's which are only featured briefly are visually stunning. Almost nobody has ever denied that.

>Yeah Jar Jar causing the fall of the Senate was both believable and thematically appropriate

Jar Jar isn't who he was in Phantom Menace though. In a way it's meant to show character growth from his more bumbling joke of a self in TPM to his more competent role as a Republican representative. Also, Jar Jar only took it upon himself to propose emergency powers. The Senate as a whole chose to give them.

Ok look back at the video in >>63961447 and notice how casual and bored their body language is during the fight. Look at their faces and see how there's no real emotion or tension.

Well, yeah, cause it's a fucking movie. Do you honestly think that any of the actors in the Original Trilogy were actually to beat each other to death for the sake of realism? All the choreography and confrontations in the Star Wars movies, including the Original Trilogy, are designed to make you forget for a moment that the actors aren't actually trying to hurt one another. Likewise, real sword duels, especially not ones featuring weapons that if you accidentally twirl them wrong you could lop off your own entire arm, wouldn't feature nothing but kill blows. Heck, when I was younger watching Return of the Jedi, I always thought it was kind of obvious that when Luke is beating down Vader on the Death Star II, you could tell he's just hitting the same one spot against Vader's sword over and over again,

The fact that the only defense of the Original trilogy's fights is "muh emotional tensions" is probably a testament to the fact that they're obviously not all that realistic. The prequels are good at making dazzling choreography that fits the fantasy setting of the movies and looks nice enough that you can kind of forget that the actors aren't really trying to kill one another and yet they're probably much more grounded in reality than the average kung fu flick's choreography. While some of them lack the emotional tension of the Original Trilogy because in the case of Dooku and Maul's fights it's more of a Jedi vs Sith than a father vs son thing, not every fight needs to have that kind of shit. It's not like wars are always deeply personal conflicts where all the soldiers are family members or best friends turned against one another.

Yeah the best fights are devoid of tension because nobody looks like they're trying to kill.

Yeah but fucking Star Wars does. Star Wars has always been personal stories about emotions, redemptions, hate, control etc. In the course of three movies there have been have been two fights that mattered personally to the people fighting. Honestly I'm not sure I'm talking to a real person at this point and not a autistic robot or a le epic contrarian troll

Horribly inefficient muscle memory with entirely useless jumps and twists and turns that would actually make you more vulnerable in combat.

Face it, the combat in the OT wasn't great but at least it resembled combat. The "combat" in the prequels is overchoreographed ballet. Lucas didn't lack a budget whatsoever and saved a bundle on sets by just doing everything with CGI, so the least he could've done was hire some HEMA faggots to explain how actual swordsplay works. Hell, if he wants to go full weeaboo he could hire some kendofags instead.

Not every fight has to be between people who have personal vendettas against the other person. It is enough that people have clashing ideals that drive them to fight against one another. I don't hear you complaining about "why should I care about all these faceless stormtroopers getting blasted? where is the emotional tension between them and Han or the random rebel troopers." The emotional tensions argument is retarded because it presumes that a lightsaber fight needs a lot of emotional tension to begin with, as if Jedi never fought darksiders simply for the sake of the light side. And if Luke and Vader in ESB or ROTJ were fighting with blasters, ducking behind pillars in a gunslinger duel for their lives, the same "emotional tension" you love would still be there between them, perhaps moreso, because the tension is not in the lightsaber but in the characters. So, praising the emotional tension has nothing to do with the overall quality of the fight sequence as much as it is a merit of the writing and storytelling. To say that a lightsaber duel has to be something deeply personal between two deeply connected individuals, racked with such emotional tensions, is to suggest that the lightsaber's presence itself is essential to creating that tension when it has fuck all to do with that.

Nobody looks like they're trying to kill anyone in these movies because it's acting and real sword-fights don't look like this. Jesus Christ, even storywise, Vader is purposely not trying to kill Luke in ESB and Luke & Vader are not trying to kill each other in ROTJ either until the last like twenty seconds of their fight when Luke gets mad at Vader for threatening Leia. In TPM, the only person trying to kill anyone is probably Darth Maul as Jedi do not fight with the intention to kill unless they seriously have to (most of the time Obi-Wan and Qui Gon are aiming for Maul's limbs to incapitacitate him). And Ben is not really trying to kill Vader in ANH. Most of the fights where characters try to actually kill one another with lightsabers take place in ROTS and AOTC, and in AOTC Dooku purposely aimed for the limbs to incapacitate Obi-Wan/Anakin first.

The emotional tension is that Hans Falcon is usually at risk which means a lot to him and the fact that him a woman he loves and one of his best friends might die.
>And if Luke and Vader in ESB or ROTJ were fighting with blasters, ducking behind pillars in a gunslinger duel for their lives, the same "emotional tension" you love would still be there between them, perhaps moreso, because the tension is not in the lightsaber but in the characters.

It does when we're talking about Jedi when the force is about controlling emotions or emotions making you evil
>>
>>63964633
>Nobody looks like they're trying to kill anyone in these movies
Luke when he fights Vader looks and fights like he's angry. Vader fights like he's toying with Luke and that he can crush him pretty handily. You can read that shit just by watching them fight. Compare this to the prequels which is just flip spin flip spin flip spin flip spin flip spin. The Prequel trilogy is garbage at conveying things through a fight and at making the fight intself interesting
>>
>>63964946
>flip spin flip spin flip spin flip spin flip spin

When was the last time you even watched those fights? Compared to most martial arts stuff it's grounded as fuck. Minimal wirework. You whine like they're on trampolines or pogo sticks. And lets not pretend Luke did no flips in OT. It was just filmed differently cause of the limitations of the time.
And even fucking Alec Guinness does a couple of spins in ANH. The only guy to stay bolted to the floor is Vader. Probably cause he's got enough problems with peripheral vision as it is.
But, I guess since it's Lucas you're contractually obligated to point out that it's all dance-dance all the time anytime someone mentions it.
>>
>>63960856
shit, YOU CLEARLY HAVE THE HIGH GROUND
even though that didn't make a difference in the half-an-hour lightsaber duel directly preceding this line apparently at that moment 10 feet over a mild incline make two legs and an arm of difference.
Also the fact that after 5+ hours of shit we still have to hear that from anakin's point of view the jedi are evil.
These aren't just memes. They're the absolute low points of Lucas's shitty writing. When it became so shit that there was no way a particular plot hole couldn't be addressed but couldn't be saved either. RoTS is a mediocre end to a shit trilogy. kys my man
>>
>>63964845
>No it's not. That's why nobody gives a shit about garbage like the gungan war or trade politics

But they care about the war against the Empire whose ideals are made far less obvious in the OT besides the fact that they have disintegrated the Old Republic which was a more democratic or representative form of government and hurt people who don't obey them? The whole fight against the Empire was one of ideals you fucking moron

>The emotional tension is that Hans Falcon is usually at risk which means a lot to him and the fact that him a woman he loves and one of his best friends might die.

But again, there's no personal connection between Han and the stormtroopers he shoots. The things you listed are not "emotional tension" at all but fucking SUSPENSE. Emotional tension would be like two brothers who find they have opposing ideals and the audience feels the push and pull of their love for one another and their committments to their ideals or two best friends loving the same woman.

People have no problem watching Chewie, Han and Leia blast stormtroopers for no other reason than "they're fighting on the bad side," and never complain about the lack of emotional tension between the stormtroopers and the heroes. But for some some reason the battle between the Jedi and the Sith, ancient arch enemies who represent the light and dark sides of the force respectively, whose fights even without personal connections possess a greater cosmic meaning, is not allowed unless Darth Maul is Obi-Wan's father/brother/best friend.
>>
>>63964845


>So you spend paragraphs arguing "lol emotions are for retards" only to say that they are important for a fight to have any meaning

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the emotional tensions that add weight to duels of the OT nor am I arguing that the PT fights are necessarily better in spite or because they lack emotional tension (I agree the OT ones are better). The point I was making was that the Retard Letter Media reddit parrots who keep repeating this emotional tension argument are woefully confused. If you took out the lightsabers from the OT duels and gave them guns and the right setting, the emotional tensions would still be there if the characters are essentially the same (and the fights might even be a bit more suspenseful). Yes, the OT fights have more emotional tension, but that's a just a testament to the way the characters are written, it doesn't have anything special to do with the lightsabers in the scenes or even the choreography, since if you took those same lightsabers and the same choreography out of the context of those characters, it'd be less interesting than the prequels own choreography. The lightsabers are there for in-universe reasons, not because lightsaber duel=more emotional tensions.

No it doesn't. Because the Jedi and the Sith are no more or less emotional than the average person is, it's just that they are able to tap more directly into a supernatural force. Sure you could argue that the fight between them has more cosmic signficance than the average battle because they represent religious and spiritual ideals as opposed to simply clashing worldly interests, but that's more a matter of the meaning not a matter of "emotional tension" and Phantom Menace managed to do a lightsaber duel that conveyed a sense of greater meaning quite well.

>Luke when he fights Vader looks and fights like he's angry. Vader fights like he's toying with Luke and that he can crush him pretty handily. You can read that shit just by watching them fight.

This is wrong. In ESB, Vader is trying to capture Luke or tempt him to the darkside, not kill him. And in ROTJ, Vader is only half-heartedly trying to kill Luke because of the "good in him" and Luke is avoiding fighting Vader until Vader threatens Leia, but even here it's quite obvious that Mark Hamill is not trying to hurt David Prowse.
>>
>>63964061
Alright, so we're going to do this, then, I guess. We're going to have a retarded internet fight about lightsaber choreography. Fine.

> Horribly inefficient muscle memory

This is so far from relevant it's in another galaxy far, far away.

Other Anon said Obi-Wan should've been more emotional. I said he trained to fight without getting emotional, so he's going to be less emotional than you think he should be.

He said that he would want to be emotional anyway, since he wants to avenge the death of his master. But any good fighter knows that sticking to what you have practiced is always the smart play. It's not like he and Maul weren't both playing by the same stupid Beyblade combat rules anyway.

> the combat in the OT wasn't great but at least it resembled combat.

Neither of them particularly resembled real combat, and neither of them particularly resembled what seems reasonable for lightsaber combat, either. PT lightsaber combat would probably resemble modern sport fencing (very light sword, kills at slightest touch). OT lightsaber combat would probably resemble old movies about king Arthur where their sword props weighed 15 pounds with huge thick edges to prevent damaged props from their unrealistic choreography.

> The same principles apply to fighting with lightsabers as they do to fighting with steel swords. Also, let's ignore the Force, too.

Sure, let's discuss the realism of some rapier choreography, too. We can ignore the sharpened points and pretend they're foiled, of course, because the same principles apply right? Hey actor! You can't stab someone with a foiled rapier! What lousy choreography, so unrealistic to try to stab someone with that rapier.

Is this some kind of a joke?

> the least he could've done was hire some HEMA faggots

A New Hope is one of my favorite films ever and I like it much more than the prequels, but even I can admit that the lightsaber fight between Obi-Wan and Vader is nothing that special and is one of the elements of the film that testifies to its age. Even compared to the other fights in the Original Trilogy, it's emotional impact is pretty weak.

What the fuck did i just watch? no seriously, what the fuck?

i dont know where to start with this monstrosity of a flick. if it wasn't for the obvious faces and lightsabers it would just be the usual high budget flick with the thinking that fancy effects and explosions will make a 'movie' good. fucking wrong.

i couldnt tell if it was at the start, beginning or end due to the lack of structure and plot - infact im still struggling to see what the plot was? the whole thing dragged out to see some old fuck standing on the cliffs - greeeaat.

what really fucking me off was how they mocked the dark side to be a laughing stock. that pathetic joke making the clone troopers run away when kylo was throwing a tantrum.
-kylo was meant to be the evil sith boss but actually got KILLED by a girl using a lightsaber for the FIRST FUCKING TIME. the fucking dindu put up a good fight, they both have zero fucking knowledge in using one, let alone the force in general. what the fuck?
how can anyone possible criticise the prequels with pieces of liberal shit like this one? there were no characters in TFA with any presence, or something that made you think 'wow i like this guy'. the prequels had mace windu, anakin, obi wan, darth vader, darth maul, etc. what did this one have? the characters were fucking dull as fuck, im actually angry as im typing this i just cant get over what i just watched and i need to vent it somewhere.

trust disney to fuck up this bad. i dont even need to mention (but i will anyway) the obvious racism with the dark side being all white, and the 'goodies' being a melting pot of spics, chinks, dindus, females etc. how can this racism even be allowed?

sadly ticket sales determine the success of a film, and so people will feel obligated to think this flick was good but in reality it was tediously boring, which lacked a plot, characters with any redeeming qualities, and made the dark side a joke.

The scene where Anakin is standing in the center of the council as he's been appointed to it by Sheev, and they are all looking at him like an outsider and refusing to give him Masterhood (even after he beat Dooku), really marks the rift between him and the Council that no one would be able to mend afterward

I like the bubble comedy scene, where Palpatine all but reveals to Anakin that he's a Sith.

I did like Obi-Wan's mystery plot though. Even if the trail of clues were contrived and ridiculous. As was the whole thing about the Clone Army (really, they should've been the villains).

The prequels do have their upsides (and ROTS may even pass for a good movie, if you ignore what flaws it does have), but I don't think they really save them.

You read my Avengers racing/caper fanfiction "The Fast and the Spurious"?

Two actually, though they were short and consecutive so I'd see why you'd forget.

>>63970763
Yeah he looked sweet swinging that thing around.

bunch of fuckboys desu

the only thing keeping it together was Obi Wan being nice to him and once he left Coruscant and Anakin alone it all went to hell
>>
>>63970436
He didn't do anything accidentally, he's a master of the drunken fist fighting style.

Speaking of prequels, why does the inside of the Jedi temple look so fucking awful? Such shit CGI. It didn't need to be so jarring, they showed they could do good CGI as well, but chose not to.
>>
>>63970839
>awful CGI
very little cgi in modern standards, you picked the wrong prequel to complain about cgi. jar jar was practical effects you nimbat

>terrible acting, it's like lucas told everyone to act as emotionless as possible
the jedi don't have emotions m8 keep up

>inconsistent tone, part kids movie, part shitty political drama
the politics were kept brief and only mentioned as necessary as the film was for families

>>bland visuals, everything is grey and colourless
again wrong film m8, naboo is pretty as shit

>no likeable characters
dw m8 nat port's tummy is in the next film

>shitty lightsaber choreography that doesn't even look like fighting
best one in the entire star wars saga actually

I love the "prequels were good" revisionism meme. It's one of /tv/'s best.

What could've been if Qui-Gon was his master and they went back for Shmi.

Watch out guys, we have Kylo Ren right here.

The best thing about TFA is when I own it on DVD I can finally marathon episodes 1 through 6 and then watch a remake of Episode 4 with old people. Thank you JJ.

Master Windu. It was a short fight.

Why do OT fags hate medichlorians so much? It's literally the only thing that can explain why she was so OP. Maybe reveal she has a medichlorian count of 40,000 thousand. It's stupid to think that anyone could use the force just because they believe.
And if retards payed attention in Phantom, you'd know medichlorians aren't the force itself. They are more like a conduit for the force to move through you.

>>63971165
i could cherrypick a screenshot from lotr and say it was ugly but that wouldn't make it true, naboo was pretty

jar jar was practical effects m8 he had an actor and everything

Can someone explain why Anakin murdered children in Episode 3? I understand why it needed to be done but where did Anakin get all this conviction and strength to do it? It feels like we're missing an entire movie between the massacre at the Jedi temple and Sheev's office.

He was in an utter haze and shock. He was essentially in too deep and couldn't turn back from what was ahead. Getting rid of the Jedi's power meant eradicating every Jedi left and their potential threats.
>>
>>63971341
yeah anakin pledging allegiance to the graveyard smash was a bit sudden especially considering his first act as monster mash's protege was to slaughter innocent children
>>
/tv/ is fucking hilariously predictable.

Contrarian retards.
>>
>>63971341
That's because it was rushed.

>that very day he threatened to have Sheev arrested
>even turned him in to the Jedi Council
>Jedi Council says that if he's not lying then they will trust him and likely grant him the rank of Master
>a few hours later he's wiping out all the Jedi
>eyes are already yellow
>he's gone full power trip
>>
>>63971341
He's an ICE COLD KILLA.

Fucking Kylo wishes he was half as ruthless as his gramps.

When he kills Windu he cracks and realizes he fucked up hard.
>>
>>63971498
It wasn't rushed on that part. He's complacent in the death of the most important Jedi Master and 2nd highest ranking Jedi in the entire Order. The other top masters like Fisto, Tinn, and Kolar are also dead.

Do you think Yoda or Obi-Wan and the rest of the Jedi Order would've accepted his apologies that he struck off Windu's arm to prevent him from murdering the Supreme Chancellor who he was equally tricked by when Sidious was playing a lie to catch Windu offguard to kill him?

They wouldn't.

At that point Anakin was forced to make a choice: leave the Jedi and run away from all of it while hoping for the best to protect Padme and his unborn child or swear loyalty to the Sith and wipe out the Jedi who in either scenario were going to kill him.
>>
>>63971401
Still don't see it happening. He was ready to turn Sheev in tot he Jedi Order not a few hours ago and daze and shock just doesn't explain the 360 of his character.

>>63971695
All the more reason why he wouldn't do it.
>>
>>63971782

He doesn't even care about Padme. He goes on about his new Empire and how great of a society he is creating. Where did all of it come from?
>>
>>63971782
Yeah but they didn't show any inner turmoil at all. Like the choice is tough and most people probably would have just given in to self-pity or simple shock, but Anakin doesn't even get a reflection scene or anything.

though
>dat shot of anakin entering the jedi temple

>>63971618

It's just a coincidence.
>>
>>63971841

He was warped by the Dark Side.

He already said he wanted to make his own empire and shit on episode II.

This isn't even up for debate btw

>doesn't even care about Padme
"We don't have to run away anymore. I'm more powerful than the Chancellor. I can overthrow him! And together you and I can rule the galaxy!"

"Where is Padme? Is she alright? Is she safe?"

>>63971906
What about when he cries on Mustafar after killing the Japanese aliens?

what's wrong with that you fucking pleb?
>>
>>63971981

That's the best explanation under the circumstances. I wish The Force is explored more in the movies. I hold some hope that JJ comes up with new actual new material on the subject in Episode 8.
>>
>>63972121
>What about when he cries on Mustafar after killing the Japanese aliens?
bit late by then isn't it, he's already slaughtered his children and choked his bitch wife
>>

>Let's rule the galaxy Padme!
>no
>'force choking intensifies'

Such love

It looks fine, does everything need to be flashy and dancy?
