Knowing Lucas, that room probably wasn't CGI but he made it look like it was, for some reason.
>>69198034
Thanks Yoda. I'm a trained military officer, in command of an entire division, but would never have thought of concentrating our artillery on this high value, poorly protected target.
>>69198692
Arm chairs aren't CGI. You can make out the leather print on them.

That's right.
They've made props for everything, even that giant hole in the ground city from ep3. A three meter tall diorama. All made to look like shitty cgi for some reason.

>>69198977
>leaving your highly defensible position to fight your enemy on an open plain while they're under the protection of their shields.
To be fair this criticism isn't limited to the prequels, but it's especially relevant, my problem with the big battles in star wars is that no one acts with any shred of tactical knowledge or instinct of self preservation.
>>69198939
He probably gave Kamino the jedi temple's address, since he used a fake jedi name to make the order.

>>69199029

Because Naboo was well known in the galaxy to not have an army? The only reason the Trade Federation didn't invade sooner was because Sheev told them not to.

So in this context, it wasn't a secret as to the strength of Naboo's defenses. It's not hard to figure out. There's no reason at all for the Trade Federation to have not landed directly in the city other than there needed to be a bullshit reason for Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to meet Jar Jar.

All of the time and money spent on this battle scene and all it really boiled down to was Jar Jar stumbling about killing droids with clumsiness while Anakin pushes buttons at random and takes out a control ship. This is my biggest problem with the prequels and early cgi movies in general. Characters luck their way through dozens of near death experiences in a 2hr movie because directors mistake falling over and dodging cgi laserbolts/monster bites/falling boulders repeatedly for tense action. The dino-stampede in King Kong and any action scene from pirates of the Caribbean spring to mind.

HD cameras make everything look CG. No filmgrain makes everthing uncanny. Adding artificial filmgrain on CG diffuses the plasticy quality. 48fps film has a similar problem, which is why The Hobbit's CGI looks wonky.

Its sad when there is so much CGI work done to something that has been crafted that it looks fake.

That's kind of the point, the story of how Anakin was found. It really doesn't matter he's found by chance. Jar jar again is fine because an adventure story there's no problem with them bumping into a random person who can help them out.

>>69199966
>are you guys implying that 99% of cgi isn't shit?
No. What's being implied is that Lucas should have used more practical effects, except where cgi can't be avoided, like for example Nolan does in all his movies, even Inception and Interstellar (some parts are cgi because it's impossible to do practical).
Star wars episode 3 had a budget of over 100 million dollars. I'm guessing he used it all on cgi, when he could have used it on practical sets instead.

Bumping into jar jar wouldve been fine if he wasnt so pivotal to the entire story from then out. Seriously, if they didnt happen to bump into him at that moment they wouldve been stranded, the gungans wouldnt have been there to fight off the droids and the princess wouldve been escorted to that camp because they wouldnt have got there in time. Everything was averted by tripping over a character that just happened to be strolling about in the forest where noone was suppose to be.
>>69199475
He's even more douchey without sound

>>69202197
But he wasn't pivotal. He was just an random alien they basically forced to escort them. He didn't do anything except show them the way to the gungan city, that's it.
It really isn't that big of an issue they catch a lucky break and bump into an random local, they would have eventually anyway.
Darth maul just doing nothing is contrived, the doors just being open is contrived, but jar jar as a plot device was honestly fine (as a humour character however...)
