Maul is so much better than Snoke

hey faggot you want some fuck?

best villian

Phantom Menace gets too much hate.

It's not a very good movie, but it has great character moments. It's better than AotC at least.

>best villain
>gets cut in half by gay blue lightsaber

Maul doesnt even begin to rival Snoke for best villain

I like this movie

It's the best film in the prequels and at least the equal of RoTJ

>blue

friendly reminder theres still contrarians on here that actually prefer the sequels to the prequels

its really comfy

it was green you faggot

It could have been noticeably better if it started with Anakin as a teen or maybe just have him as a kid for only a brief bit. I mean would the story have had to been radically altered if Anakin was 15ish instead of 9-10?

Have to restart real quick

I don't follow Star Wars religiously and I thought they were fine flicks.

this is a call to arms
gather soldiers
time to go to war

the prequels are actually really comfy movies.

TPM is a bit kiddish, but the cgi wasn't overdone at this point yet. and the story gets flack for being about trade disputes and politics, but it sets up how palpatine came into his chancellorship

AOTC we get a spy adventure with obi-wan hunting jango and finding out about a large clone army built in secret 10 years ago for the war that hasn't started yet. we get a decent romance story, and we see the struggles anakin is facing from his life as a jedi which permeate to ROTS and tip him towards leaving the jedi.

ROTS we get the conclusion of anakin's life and the beginning of vader's. the beginning scene is the best out of any star wars movie yet and sheds light on who are characters are and where they stand and how capable they are as warriors (and show us that they have a long, successful history of fighting together as a team)

The Gungans fucking sucked. Not only were they silly and cartoonish but I didn't give a shit about the ending battle because I didn't care a bit whether all the Gungans got slaughtered or not. I was just waiting for the movie to cut back to the Darth Maul fight.

did they fuck and she is embarrassed or did she leave before fucking?

he's still clothed...

>the prequels are actually really comfy movies.

They would have been if they didn't completely suck. Good ideas, poor execution the trilogy

>get a decent romance story
lmao

MAKE SURE EVERYBODY HAS ZIMAS

I hope you faggots can finally appreciate how good the prequels were now that (((Disney))) has shit all over the cannon

I like Jar-Jar more than I like Finn.

>appreciate how good

They were poorly made and had their own list of story inconsistencies, don't try to pretend otherwise.

someone launch a stream withc chat of phantom menace now

>completely suck
Found the redditor.

An objective non brainlet analysis. Cheers user

>when I first met your father he was already a great pilot, but I was amazed at how strongly the force was with him.
>refers to him as "another pathetic life-form"

THIS THIS THIS

Second this desu.
Nah he's right. With every shitty Disney Nu Wars film, the appreciation for the Prequels will only rise, Mousefag.

thats just your opinion
its the wrong one, but whatever
prequels > ot > nuwars

Please see Ewoks

The over arcing story for the PT is 10/10. It's amazing how Lucas fucked it up at every turn.

...

Yeah, I remember when Wicket was found at the beginning of ROTJ and then went on the adventure with the heroes and stepped in poop and then got farted on.

sorry guys, had to reinstall my sound drivers for some reason

stream is up now

Doesn't Snoke get cut in half bt a blue lightsaber? Fag?

TPM is kino and a great pleb filter

t. 9gag

...

Can we meet and fuck irl?

Padme is not a character. She is merely a plot device that does what is required of her in order for the story to work. When the movie (TPM) starts she makes zero decisions. She DOES NOT rally her forces to combat the Trade Federation even though they are reffered to as “battle hardened” nor does she even take an active role in reaching the Capitol. It is only after she is rescued that Qui-Gon suggests she go to Coruscant and she follows.

...

Filenames really aren't helping you.

Then, once we reach Tatooine, she only makes one choice which comes completely out of left field. Padme, disguised as a handmaiden, wants to see Mos Espa. Why? Because she is curious. It is never explained why she is curious, now is she curious about anything during the rest of this film. We (the audience) knows that she must go to Mos Espa in order to meet Anakin and start the foundation of their relationship, but besides the needs of the story, she has no motivation for leaving the ship.

The Phantom Menace is actually a pretty okay-good movie and is not only easily better than the rest of the prequels/sequels, but is also better than Return of the Jedi for majority of that movie minus the throne room scenes which are arguably some of the best Star Wars scenes ever.

However, once in Mos Espa she once again exemplifies her inability to make decisions once again when she tells Qui-Gon, in not so many words, that they shouldn’t put their faith in Anakin and should instead just wait for something else. Padme is once again just passive to what is going on around her and doesn’t want to make decisions, except of course for decisions that are necessary for the telling of the story like going into Mos Espa to meet Anakin. As a matter if fact the only active thing she does up to this point is pull Jar-Jar’s hand out of Anakin’s racer to save the Gungan from losing it. That is all she does.

she's still gonna claim rape

Never realized that until you've said it but yeah, same.

>"I will not condone a course of action that will lead us to war."
Maybe you need to watch the movie again

Something does happen to her after she leaves Tatooine and before she arrives at Naboo though. She watches a hologram of Sio Bibble and in this hologram he reveals that the people in the camps are dying. Now we must remember, before Padme left Naboo she already knew that the city had been invaded and the people were being put in camps. She herself was headed for a camp before she was rescued by the Jedi, so the only news in this message is that the droids are apparently not feeding the people in the camps.

All women are plot devices irl and fiction except for pic related

Then, once we land on Coruscant, we have what I consider to be one of the best written scenes in the entire movie. Palpatine sits Padme down and starts going through a list of things wrong with the senate and the current Chancellor, waiting for something to stick. He is waiting for Padme to finally speak out against one of these things so that he knows how to properly motivate her to turn against Valorum. And this is when her entire character changes for literally no reason other than the needs of the plot. Padme, who up to this point has been completely passive and not made any decisions on her own, suddenly is in a rush. What? I guess her people city being invaded and her people put in camps wasn’t enough of a hint that the Trade Federation means business, only now that the Trade Federation is actively killing her people is she finally worried about them; at least worried enough to actually do something.

Sio is the key to all this..

...wait until I'm done. I'm going somewhere with this...

wait, did some people actually dislike the kinoquels???

So now, after all this, Padme is in a hurry and DOES NOT have time to wait for the Senate to follow this up properly by sending a team to investigate. Padme needs this dealt with IMMEDIATELY and since Valorum is incapable of this, he must be replaced. Padme thinks that Valorum, a man, who she herself referred to as her strongest supporter and who, in the same scene, just said that all they have to do is send an investigative team and then they can openly act, should be replaced. This is the exact same woman who did LITERALLY NOTHING to prevent her people from being put in this situation in the first place and instead was going to let the senate deal with and now that the senate IS dealing with, they aren’t going fast enough for her?

Hello RLMdrone

He shows up at the end of RoTS for Padme's funeral.

After all of this, we get a quiet moment between Padme and Jar-Jar where the audience finds out something new. Jar-Jar reveals that the Gungans have an army. We did not know this. This is new information. Jar-Jar follows this up, “Thaten why yousa no liken us, mesa thinks.” To which Padme gives no surprise to this information AT ALL. Padme has known that the Gungans are heavily militarized since before this story even began. And yet when her people were threatened with a blockade of ships which themselves held a “battle hardened” droid army, she did not once try to form an alliance with the Gungans in order to prepare and combat this threat. Instead, Padme waited for the Senate to act and now once the senate has decided to openly act, she instead ousts Valorum and ONLY NOW decides to go back to Naboo to try and form an alliance with the Gungans to fight the Trade Federation. What was she waiting on before? The senate? They just got done telling her that they will act on the invasion once the investigative team sees Naboo for themselves, and she said no. She said NO, yet now she is going back to Naboo and ISN’T taking an investigative team with her.

When people say these movies make no sense, they mean the characters make no sense in their actions.

END

There u go Samepai

>maul getsto kill a jedi and almost kill obi wan
>snoke gets kiled by kylo, even while he is reading his mind and doesnt sense him moving the light saber

I unironically love this movie, even Jar-Jar Binks. Maul is a great villain, it had a great storyline, racist stereotypes, pod racing. Whats not to love?

That's not an argument.

...

His mommy issues wouldn't be nearly as pronounced which is the whole reason why Lucas made him a kid in the first place.

Its obviously better than TFA and TLJ.

Better action scenes, actually some interesting characters and not a 100% retarded story.

>she stole his scarf
What a despicable human being.

gr8 b8 m8

how George luccas got the actors to agree to this

She also was in hiding and like a teenager if I recall. Hard to pull the trigger then. Still better than Finn, Rey etc.

She's 14 and just a pretty face.

Wrong. Padme is actually the only character in TPM with a clearly defined character arc.

I hate how people said Star Wars was successful despite Lucas after the prequels.

The guy went through shit to get the original movies made and was there supervising every aspect of production even if he didnt direct. Lucas was even hugely influential in the creation of the score since he created the temp track it was based on using old film music and classical: youtube.com/watch?v=cGcpLm989-U

The fans applauded when the reigns were handed to Disney; now they deal with not just a lame entry every couple of years but even worse entries every year.

t. Not a brainlet teen

PM>RotS>AotC

A character going from one place to another for no reason isn't an arc. Just because she ends in a different place than where she began doesn't mean her character is well-written.

>>"I will not condone a course of action that will lead us to war."
>ends up leading her people into a war
What did Lucas mean by this?

Objectively correct.

ROTS > TPM >>>> power gap > AOTC.

am i the only one that gets triggered at this series of posters? they're clearly not the original ones and the weird texture masked onto the title logos looks fucking odd and cheap

pic related what they actually look like
