The prequels aren't canon

The prequels aren't canon.

They are legitimately better films than either of the sequels and the now directorless han solo shitshow. Deal with it.

t. reddit

they're objectively worse than basically everything. They're unambiguously the worse thing that George Lucas ever produced.

>the worse thing
Anti-intellectuals in charge of discussing high concept art everyone.

lol /r/prequelmemes calling someone reddit

They're both shit.
Why do you still care about Star Wars after Return of The Jedi?

If prequel bad why memes better

...

>the best memes are based on good source material

>Jar-Jar is they key to all of this.
What did George Lucas mean by this?

I don't understand this webm

Revenge of the Sith is the best Star Wars movie

George Lucas forced all his production heads to watch him demonstrate his sick ambidextrous coloring skills on a storyboard while the BTS camera crew was there.

He's scribbling all over the original storyboard with two markers.
Purple = real
Yellow = CGI.

The $2 billion in toy and merchandising rights he sold. This is the tail that wags the dog. He could ignore the theater take if he wanted to.

They're infinitely better than the shit awakens.

Prequels told a story, TFA was all about girl power.

Your mom isn't canon

>$2 billion in toy and merchandising
What? That all the money just from JarJar merchandise? You kidding me.

The prequels are better than the modern films.

I feel so bad for this guy. Busted his ass on these storyboards and now he has to watch in silent agony as some hack colors all of his work

>Luke, did I ever tell you about Dexter Jettster? He was a mustachioed Besalisk that ran a 50's themed diner on Coruscant. When I was trying to track down the bounty hunter Jango Fett the entire Jedi archive was of no use to me but Dexter was. He identified the Kaminoan poison dart Fett had shot into the shape shifting bounty hunter Zam Wesell by hand. He was a good friend.

lol nope.
>They're infinitely better than the shit awakens.
literally every objective standard by which that would be determined disagrees with you.
>Prequels told a story
a boring, retarded story that was terribly executed
>TFA was all about girl power.
No it wasn't lol. Why are you such a belligerent sjw? Is it because you're young and hormonal and don't know things?

That's not how you spoiler [mods please respond to my pm and add a spoiler here]

this post is 100 % memes

this post is 0% an argument

so is

Go home, Kathleen.

what did he mean by this

Thats all merch. Not just JarJar.

Also, he practically cashed in on the rising videogame boom and fortunately had good developers producing his games. No matter what you say, this guy knew exactly when to turn a profit.

no

lmao piss off

Go to bed, George

seriously, the new ones are by no means perfect, there are some serious issues which may or may not get fixed, but the prequels are literally garbage tier stories/movies, are the prequels really the contrarian hill you want to die on?

>literally every objective standard by which that would be determined disagrees with you.
This is an argument m80. I'm advancing the point that, when considering things like box office, audience score, critic score, and the fundamentals of adventure fantasy filmmaking, the prequels are provably inferior.
>a boring, retarded story that was terribly executed
It can easily be demonstrated that the prequels are poorly paced, and the case on the extent of how terribly they where executed has been more than established.
>No it wasn't lol.
TFA isn't about girl power. This is an argument.

That's 3 arguments that you pivoted from because you're an intellectually dishonest child.

And you could of done better?

All posts are 100% memes. Go look up the real definition: ideas, but especially in a context of spreading

But why did anakin kill all the children?

I unironically enjoy the prequels because they at the very least attempted to tell a different story than what came before. Episodes 1-3 may have garnered a lot of negative reactions since they came out, but you can't fault them for not trying to do something different. Reason why I consider Episode II to be an infinitely superior movie than Episode VII.

Rankings (These are very very subjective so bear with me).
V > VI > III > IV > I > II >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rogue 1 >>>>>> VII

>can't defend your baby movies
>nitpick gramatical errors on someone's 3rd language
kek. I've likely forgotten more than you've learned sweetie.

>Purple
get examined at your local eye doctor

This is what redditors actually believe.

Almost entirely agree
V > VI = III > IV > Rogue I > I > II > VII

This is literally a cartoon. There's nothing live action here.

WEW. Every prequel is worse than the mediocrity that is RO, which says a lot.

I haven't seen the prequels in a while, is that from one of them? Looks like something out of the Clone Wars cartoon.

Why didn't he say "On the nearest starship, concentrate all of your firepower you will."?

III is bad

>I unironically enjoy the prequels because they at the very least attempted to tell a different story than what came before.
No they didn't. They spent 3 movies telling a story Obi Wan told in 20 seconds. They turned the franchise favorite henchman into space jesus and made Boba Fett's dad's balls the source of all the clones they mentioned that one time in the OT.
>Episodes 1-3 may have garnered a lot of negative reactions since they came out
Yeah because they were and will always be very bad movies.
>But you can't fault them for not trying to do something different.
The only thing they "tried to do different" was "as much shitty cgi as possible because George was competing with James Cameron to establish ILM as THE go-to graphics house for the big studios. There was a quota of new creatures and locations shittily introduced in each movie for franchising reasons. He spent so much time "world building" because that was "greatly expanding his IP."

You can absolutely fault him for "trying something different" when what they where trying was to make as much money with as little effort as possible.

It was a lazy cash grab and an industry-facing infomercial for ILM and the Lucasfilm empire.

>Reason why I consider Episode II to be an infinitely superior movie than Episode VII.
How old are you?

The prequels were much better written, they had actual characters and story, not a bunch of memes and one-liners that lack any emotion or coherence. Luke is a cliched everyboy "hero" that goes through an absurdly rapid transformation between the fifth and the sixth episodes. Anakin's emotional instability and his exposure as a psychopath are gripping; and his doomed relationship with Padme is touching. In the "original trilogy" Han, Leia, Darth Vader and Obi Wan are complete meme characters, nothing about them is remotely believable or human. And why doesn't anyone care about deaths in those movies? Leia's planet destruction, Luke's stepparents' death, all of the blown up rebels--the list could go on--all the deaths are forgotten moments later.

As for direction, the movies from the "original trilogy" were mostly incoherent, badly edited and full of logical problems. The prequel trilogy is a work of a "vulgar auteur".

I feel neutral about the series overall, and honestly don't care about trolling or contrarianism. Here are my sincere rankings:

1. "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones"
2. "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace"
3. "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith"
4. "Star Wars"
5. "The Empire Strikes Back"
6. "Return of the Jedi"
7.
8. "The Force Awakens"

Episode 7 isn't even a Star Wars movies. It is a Marvel flick masquerading as one.

>being mad some people like the prequels better than a rehashed hope

>How old are you?
Old enough to know you're opinions are shit and should be disregarded entirely.

I would take the shittiest Lucas-made movie over the Disney-made movies because AT THE VERY LEAST he's not just bent on regurgitating every prior movie with callbacks and cameos.

>the prequels aren't conon
Why are there pod racing flags in Maz's bar in The Force Awakens

Why do Mon Mothma and Bail Organa have the same actors in Rogue One as they did in the prequels

Why is Darth Vader's Castle on Mustafar

>It is a Marvel flick masquerading as one
I may not agree with all of your thoughts but this one was fucking gold.

THIS so much

So is V. I just enjoyed it slightly better than the others.

the true ranking
IV > V > VI = III > I = VII > II

>Why is Darth Vader's Castle on Mustafar
gotta buy up that land while it's cheap. then you sell it for a premium once everybody moves there and it gentrifies.

They never say lol.

Just admit that you where a baby when you saw the prequels and have an emotional attachment to them that makes their objective quality unimportant to you. There's nothing wrong with liking shitty movies m8.

There is something wrong with trying to change history because you're too insecure to like shit without trying to convince yourself that the it's cool to eat shit.
>projecting
why would I be mad that you like stupid things? You know how many stupid people there are? Of course there are people that like and delusionally defend the prequels unironically. That's why I started the b8 thread.

TECHNICALLY ACCURATE RANKING
7>6>5>4>3>2>1

No really

Why did Anakin kill all the children?
Did Luke know Anakin killed all the children?

4>5>3>7>6>1>2

FPBP

How much is Disney paying you faggots?

...

you seem to be pretty invested in defending the sequels for this to be a mere bait thread. Unless we're all nothing but ants for you to toy with and this is nothin personnel

TFA is just Star Wars capeshit.

Nothing wrong with this. it was great at the time. don't forget George also founded ILM the company that revolutionized special effects in film. i don't see any of you fucks thanking him for that or creating star wars in the first place you know the franchise you love so much that wouldn't even exist without him.

you ungrateful disneycucks make me sick.

It's not like it effects the discourse or anything.

when was this from, 2002?
holds up pretty well, all things considered

What high-concept 2001 Kino is this from?

His true vision for StarWars was even worse than the prequels, the diference is that there was actual talent beside him telling him to shut up whenever he started getting out of line.

Hey that's pretty good
Better than the visual and audio autism of Rey screaming "QUIT HOLDEEN MAH HAND"

Don't know why you're so butt blasted but I wanna say it's okay. It's all going to be okay. I'll hold you tight to make you feel better. It's okay. I'm here now. You can cry in my arms. I got you.

ah yes this non argument again. i forget disneycucks were there at all times. when he came up with star wars right? and i guess you were there when they filmed. please tell us more insider.

While he was doing that, somebody should of just started rubbing George Lucas goiter to put him to sleep

why would Disney pay me to talk shit about their own IP?

How much is Disney paying you defend objective garbage like the PT?

If anything it seems like the prequel babbies would be a secret marketing scheme more than people with a general understanding of the fundamentals of filmmaking and storytelling.

Throwing you in too, I don't really give a shit about the new ones. Rogue One had a great third act. I have a bit of an emotional attachment to it because I saw it alone on opening night in Copenhagen and it was a great experience. TFA was an adequate reset of the franchise away from the disaster of the prequels, and is production porn for industry geeks.

the reason I wonder about the PT shills is that, I would never fucking defend the generally ok new ones if it wasn't for the delusional knownothing idiots shilling for the fucking terrible ones. How do I know you're not a corporate plant designed to trigger me into defending vanilla paste because you're arguing that wet meatshits taste better?

Sh-shill! You're just shilling by saying the movies were bad!

look at this blog. disneycucks have no self awareness.

/r/prequelmemes

>being this buttblasted about the superior PT
I hope Disney pays well.

pretty weak, to be sincere, desulad

r/theforceawakens

He's terrible at coloring inside the lines

Sorry, meant to post that to

just because they are sjw doesnt mean they are automatically shit

the prequels are better than tfa but are far worse than R1 which is arguably the 3rd best star wars movie made. the prequels have some unforgivably bad moments

Rogue One was trash until the final battle, and only the space battle was really good. The rest of the movie is trash and people who cite it as "muh dark movie with epic quipping droid xD" are clear redditors

literally false. It felt more like a star wars movie than any of the prequels and it isnt even close

This guy gets it

Eh I'm mostly sleep deprived and trying to stay awake at work. Nobody on Sup Forums is being paid by Disney to talk shit about or defend Disney IP.

If you're subscribed to /r/prequelmemes or buy into any of that reddit meme wars shit than you actually are a willing participant in a budgeted Disney marketing campaign. Liking and defending the prequels is still supporting Disney.

My argument is that the prequels are bad and poorly-executed movies compared to almost any movie. They are historically notable for how bad they are.

And they aren't canon.

Personal rankings:

V=IV>VII(fight me)>VI>III>RO>I>II

The drop-off from Empire/Hope to TFA is significant. TFA has major problems, but I enjoyed the new characters. Jedi's first third is a mess, but the Luke/Vader/Sheev plotline pays off. Jedi and RO have the best space battles, Sith is fun cheesy schlock, and Phantom has the best lightsaber duel (in terms of realistic choreography).

I don't have any hate for the prequels, but I do feel they were poorly executed. TFA was sadly a "testing the waters" sort of film pumped full of nostalgia, and RO was the same thing but with worse characters. IV and V are the only "quality films" in the entire franchise, but all are enjoyable on some level (except Clones; Clones can fuck off).

Why is Yoda a military commander here?

>still going
this is like a personal stake for you, isn't it?

prequel babbies will defend this

I - 2 out of 4
II - 1.5
III - 2.5
IV - 2.5
V - 2.5
VI - 2.5
VIII - 2.5

shit is boring as fuck, but at least it's watchable

It's covered in cellophane

>this is like a personal stake for you, isn't it?
Yes I haven't slept in some amount of days and this is how I'm staying awake until I can go to sleeps.

He divides his time pretty evenly between spiritualism and waging war. He was like the Pope Urban II of the SW universe.

why use decimals if you're just going to make all of them 2.5?
