What did Lucas mean by that?

What did Lucas mean by that?
Who were the heroes of the CIS? Dooku? Grievous?

kys manchild

I don't remember that character

That one battle droid that survived like 20 battles.

What he meant was that no one side in the conflict was the pure evil side, it was their leaders pulling the strings who were evil, the soldiers themselves believed they were fighting a noble cause.

Lucas was redpilled. The jedi were the real villains all along

Sheev did nothing wrong

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kys_Manchild

Heroes on the other side are called anti-heroes.

but that's wrong

prove me wrong

protip: you can't

>it's an autistic manchild has trouble understanding subjective vs objective reality thread.

I think he means heroes in the classical sense as in great men/warriors like hector and achilles in troy

Anti-heroes are just flawed heroes, who lack conventional heroic qualities, but are at the end of the day still supposed to be 'heroes'. The separatists in RotS are all just simple mustache twirling villains, nothing but straight up antagonistic evil assholes. Even Sheev just wanted POWEEER

>Anti-heroes are just flawed heroes
No. I mean definition of the word "anti" is pretty simple.

Not him but holy shit you are fucking retarded

>the soldiers themselves believed they were fighting a noble cause.
WELL THEN MAYBE THE SOLDIERS SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN MINDLESS DROIDS AND CLONES THEN

How about you actually look it up instead of being a dumbass?

I cant believe this is a question that keeps coming up

are you such a hilarious victim of nationalistic propaganda that you dont realize everyone thinks they're the hero

also cartoon villains with superpowers dont exist

>antihero

after you

Now look up "main character" you absolute cretin.

from a certain point of view the Jedi are evil

The 'anti' part in antihero refers to it being a contradiction of the conventional hero tropes. It's got nothing to do with the story.
The word you're looking for is antagonist, which are not necessarily antiheroes.

Either this (though I doubt it) or it was Lucas' dumb and lazy attempt to inject the moral ambiguity found other more serious war films into his space adventure without earning it.

this

Grevious and Dooku were heroes to the separatists, in the same vein that the nazis had their heroes and so on. He kind of fucked up though by opening the credits calling Dooku a RUTHLESS SITH LORD, like he wants to be subjective and objective in the same breath.

The thing about that is that you hardly see any Confederate citizens or planets, as far as the movies are concerned it's a civilization of evil robots built by evil alien bugs led by a council of evil alien businessmen. The Clone Wars show does a better job of fleshing it out but I wish they'd spent some time doing that in the actual movies.

>non-sentient robot following orders
>hero

Or are the Trade Federation's battle droids sentient and Jedis are dispensing with brings like they were nothing just because they were created by evil men and forced to fight?

Jedis do start to look like the bad guys...

Biggest retard of the day award goes to...

the return to geonosis are some of the best clone wars episodes.
the only thing they failed to build on is that in episode II its the geonosians who have the death star plans but its kind of just forgotten about in episode III

Yes, it's those two and Admiral Bone-To-Pick.

ITs a different point of view

I'm sure that's what Lucas meant and that would be fine... if it were ever established what the CIS is fighting for.

Seriously, explain the goals of the CIS(not Sidious himself, but the CIS) using only information and quotes that were used in the movies themselves. Pulling info from EU material does not count because it has zero effect on George Lucas' screenwriting.

I'm watching a Return of the Sith extras docu called Cast Interviews (more like cast & crew) and Christopher Lee recalls being asked if it isn't weird to act in front of a blue screen with nothing coming back at you and he said "I've often had that experience with many of my collegues" kek, this was the first starwars thread I saw so I just posted it here

but yeah that was a stupid line there were no heroes on the other side

Thank you, these were among the most glaring problems of the prequels. What the hell was that war about? Also: why should we ''feel'' for a battle between mostly robots and clones?

Truly a strange lifeless conflict, for the most part.

That was really terrible, there are 0 stakes in the jedi vs droids fights, and 0 emotion in the droids vs clones fights. We should have gotten some more awesome sith vs jedi battles.

You literally can't. And even if you do pull info from the EU it's still a mess because it was so unclear to begin with in the movie so all the authors had to run with it and bullshit as they went along.

You really feel compassion for the actors seeing how they're literally trying to act in a completely green or blue room and fighting or talking to people in green/blue bodysuits, what the fuck
