How much influence did the Plinkett reviews have on the perception of the Star Wars prequels? How much influence did they have on the current direction of the franchise under Disney?

He just introduced people to useful catchphrases like "poetry" and "it's so dense".
Otherwise seeing Clones in the theater was the nail in the coffin for most people.

Before, you could defend the prequels and have a leg to stand on. After, the prequels were exposed and defending them made you seem like an insane fanboy. Some of Plinkett's observations have been canonized as unofficial Star Wars rules, like not overusing lightsabers, focusing on characters and not political drama, etc. Today, the origin of these criticisms is forgotten, the reviews are a decade old at this point, but the points themselves live on and even high level executives have internalized them.

>focusing on characters and not political drama
Yeah instead just shoehorn real world politics into it, that worked well
Jaxson Gomez
I don't nkow if he was influential or if he was just in the right place at the right time to point out how dumb the prequels were to the generation that grew up liking them cuz starwars

The empire were in many ways just nazis in space, so it's not surprising the first order is basically the knock off version of that. The bigger problem is the enemy faction is just a knock off in the first place
Jackson Mitchell
Nigger, the OT was very Vietnam-war era heavy with Richard Nixon as the inspiration for Sheev.
Logan Morgan
The Empire was the British Empire in space and the Rebels were fighting for Americanism, it was never some anti fascist message.
They were Nazis in aesthetic only
Connor Price
The specific policies of the empire were always vague as fuck, but I wouldn't disregard the aesthetic, though they used British actors. Honestly the only super nazi thing they ever did that I can think of is searching that tree house during the "life day" special which is a questionable thing to reference

Yes you leftist retard, prove otherwise
Samuel Adams
looks live we've got a Sup Forumsack here
Julian Peterson
No it wasn't. People liked them. Fuck your revisions you 21 year old faggot.
Jose Davis
If you were about 7 or 8 when Clones came out I could get it, I was 11 and it was the first noticeably bad movie I'd ever seen in a theater. My friends all hated it to.
Isaiah Perry
Are you ever going to prove the post wrong?
Austin Jones
What's there to prove? The empire doesn't really have any colonialism themes, while they were clearly going for fascist ones, and the only thing American about the rebels is the accents. I'm not going to bother looking for a quote or anything though
Caleb Cooper
Sheev is nothing like Nixon though.
Ryder Thompson
The Empire doesn't have any racial purity or concentration camp themes either so how are they Nazis?
Austin Watson
Many watched TPM and did not even show up for AotC
I was there when happened.
Justin White
Oh look, it's another Star Wars fan gets triggered on the internet episode.

not a lot i would say.
the reason the reviews are so popular in the first place is because the videos went in detail why very popular movies were bad that were already generally disliked.
it's like listening to a schoolmate talk crap about someone you hate. this wouldnt have worked for LOTR for ecample which is similarily popular, but actually good
