The prequels suddenly look much more watchable now though. They might be bad but at least I got nostalgia for them. 15 years from now the only people who will like Disney wars will be the people who are kids now.

>They might be bad but at least I got nostalgia for them.

Are you sure you don't just feel nostalgic for that period of your life (1999-2005) when you were a kid and had zero responsibilities etc?

this scene was so fucking awkward and awful and forced

All Star Wars movies are awful

Yeah George was a businessman so shrewd his name should have been Lucasberg, but at least you know he still backed it up with genuine attempts to make decent films he believed in.

gtfo RLMfag, we don't want you here, your time is finally over. Phantom menace was the best prequel btw.

wrong

>falling for a meme
they weren't ever that bad faggot, fuck off

Yes but those movies were a part of my life. Until I was 18 I would cite ROTS as my favorite movie. What's happening with star wars now is basically me not being a kid when the prequels came out. Pure torture.

They’re fun and have good parts and actors that get overshadowed just by a handful of poor characters (Hayden, jar jar, etc.) honeslty they have some of the single best SW scenes, it’s just people only remember MEESA and sand.

On the other end, the current coming of age cword round these parts (like 18 in past 1-2 years) all grew up alongside the clone wars cartoons, both versions of which were excellent and superbly humanize all the characters, even to an extent Binks.

So I dunno, on its own I can understand disliking it but in a larger sense most of the scenes and characters do their job quite well

They are flawed masterpieces but redditors think otherwise.

It's less about the prequels being good than it is about counter-memeing against the commercial pleb cancer onslaught that is Disney Star Wars. If this includes puffing up the relative merits of George Lucas, than so be it.

>Cherry picking: The thread

actually, by contrast the pt looks elevated thanks to the st

True. But they're still better than the ST.

>Saying etc after only listing one item

He's comin for ya

They were horribly executed but at least it wasn’t the same story with different names

But that still helps Disney by trying to portray their purchased property in a positive light.

>15 years from now the only people who will like Disney wars will be the people who are kids now.
well that's bullshit cos I'm older than you and find the ST completely watchable and entertaining, and I'm interested in seeing where they're going with the story and other parallel material

5 Disneybucks have been deposited into your account.

Do you have some kind of cognitive disorder or were you held captive by Al Qaeda for a decade?

>prequels were awful
never have an opinion ever again

At least the prequels casted attractive people and had some nice visuals.

It does make me nostalgic when we didnt have roasties casting fat asian chicks because they feel threatened.

nah I just have a life, they're just movies bro, what the fuck is the matter with you?

Well I was 1 year old when TPM came out and I like it better than all of the new films. What is your point retard?

>they're just movies bro
Is it not important that they be good movies?

What are you asking?

prequel memes are a good example of why reddit is fucking cancer

depends on what you want to watch, why would I be wanting to judge star wars as something that it's never been... ? yeah, some were made with more love than others, but that's a problem of this era, everything is disposable and doesn't have a soul like the things that were made in the 80s or 90s... fuck even in the beginning of the 00s.... what astounds me that some people are incapable of accepting that some people may be able to enjoy something that you don't and on top of that have to virtue signal.

The Prequels aren’t great but the frequently used arguments against them are all just shitty memes.

>’MUH JARJAR’
>Jar Jar is fine until Tatooine and fine afterwards. He’s just a generic comic relief character that isn’t done particularly well, very easily ignored
>’MUH CGI’
>a lot of the Prequels effects were practical and touched up by CGI, it was just in its infancy so the final result looks sterile. Also it was more expensive to use CGI than practical in those days, Lucas did it to push the medium forward. Like he always has.
>’MUH SHITTY STORY’
>the dialogue is shitty, the actual underlying plot is engaging and only hated because it points out that Obi Wan was wearing rose tinted glasses in Star Wars
>’MUH POLITICS’
>see previous point and mature beyond the age of 12. Palpatine was hardly going to create the Empire through an apolitical method.

I’m no fan of Episodes 2 or 3, 1 isn’t great either, but the Prequels’ main flaw is pacing & character development. Problems which still plague Star Wars because they aren’t actually gone into frequently enough. That’s quite literally it. The rest of the complaints, whilst many are valid, are mostly just nitpicks like Yoda & Sheev using lightsabers.

You can enjoy it just know you're wrong in doing so.

thank you for proving my point

Is this the birth of an epic new meme?

>falling for the jewcas meme

Lucas spared no expense on the Prequels or Originals & was losing a shit ton of money by Season 3 of The Clone Wars onwards. The Prequel era was a story he genuinely wanted to tell. He’s a good businessman for sure but his passion for this universe was undeniable.

>prequels are for mmmature!
>watching and liking cartoon rabbit stepping in poo poo

Never said it was more mature, just more depth to it than ‘farm boy, smuggler & princess join rebellion to defeat evil empire also space magic’.

And yes, Jar Jar sucks, but his scenes on Tatooine like the one you just mentioned are the only truly awful ones. The rest can easily be ignored or just removed through the Phantom Edit.

Yes but I do feel bad for Jake Lloyd, and to an extent for George as well (even though he's a billionaire he contributed a lot to many things I love, not just Star Wars).

The prequels are nothing more than superficial rehashing of OT concepts and moments because HAHA MEMBA THAT??
>Why is Vader the literal center of the universe? Because he appeared on the most cereal boxes
>Why is the entire clone army made up of bobas? Because he sold a lot of toys
>Memba the astroid the chase belt scene from ESB?
>Hey look its chewbacca
>Hey look its r2d2
>Hey look its c3p0
>Hey look its Tatooine
>Hey look its the robes Obi Wan wore in ANH
Prequel revisionists have to bend over backwards and come up with ass pulls to justify why the prequels are """misunderstood masterpieces"""", but at the end of the day Lucas cared more about shoving in as much shit on screen that he could sell as toys rather than telling a story with characters that would connect with people. The only good thing about the prequels are the memes which are basically just making fun of the films, and a handful of video games from LucasArts

Hey idiot the whole political plot in the prequels doesn't make any sense. You can shout about RLM whatever you want but they pointed out gazillion plotholes in each prequel so the whole thing falls apart.
All Palpatine actions are super obvious and make sense only if you assume that he mind controlled EVERYONE in the senate and jedi order, which is fucking stupid. Also retarded scenes like escapiong the blockade in Phantom menace, Padme assasination or Anakin killing Dokoo is ultra retarded

wrong

>muh RLM reviews
have been thoroughly refuted, which is what happens when you rely on drunken fools to make your arguments for you

>Is it not important that they be good movies?
He says without irony as he defends the prequels

1 and 2 are still bad, but 3 is on the same level as the average capeshit film that gets praised nowadays. This is why I'm confused why didn't they just let George continue making them.

OT was pretty shit too

even if u got rid of the poor acting, poor cgi, stupid characters like jar jar, bad dialogue
i STILL would think its crap because it creates plot holes and discontinuity in the OT
plus it retcons thi9ngs making the interpretation of elements of the OT different from what they were previously

I wished rey and ren would have created a new order like the guy in your pic.

If you ever needed proof that you're arguing with literal teenagers, this is it right here. I wonder what the replies to this post will be?

>the original trilogy will forever be remembered as timeless classics that everyone can enjoy
>the new trilogy will be remembered as a product of PC culture gone insane

A couple decades from now, NuWars will be extremely dated, like 90s movies. A symptom of this era is that every lead has to be female or non-white and the villains white as snow. A time where the casting call specifically calls for the actor's ethnicity instead of talent. Such a shame.

I never watched the prequels as a kid, I just had vague knowledge of them. I finally saw TPM and AOTC the other day. TPM is honestly pretty fun. It’s not as unfocused as people say it is, and Jar Jar really just isn’t that annoying. AOTC was worse, Anakin was really wooden and awkward. I liked watching them both more than I liked watching TLJ. My ratings right now are 5>4>6>1>7>2>8
I’ll see ROTS and RO sometime this week

Which one has the best ass out of those chicks. I don't know any of their names.

I miss my jewess waifu...

A hairless contention isn't an argument. I've already disproven your delineation based expostulation. Give me something else.

These movies at least attempted to do something different while still paying homage to teh uniververse. As much as I hate them they still dwarf the most recent movies by leaps and bounds

I'm not defending anything I'm mystified as to how anyone can have a positive opinion of the sequel trilogy.

reminder that your damage control doesn't stop TLJ from being dogshit

A bald assertion isn't an argument. I've already refuted your representation based arguments. Give me something else.

I honestly don't think Anakin is as bad as people made him out to be. He's an autistic virgin who spent his life as a slave to the world's most reasonable Jew (honestly not all that bad, but being a slave is enough to mess with his head a bit) got kidnapped ( not exactly I know) to become a gay space monk and a slave yet again despite being some sort of fucking divine intervention made manifest.

In Episode I he's about 8, 8 year olds are weird little fucks when you try to think of them as real human beans. Kids come out with weird stuff all the time, especially if they work as a full time mechanic.

In Episode II he's an angsty teenager who's not even allowed to rub one out with oneitis for that that prime Natalie Portman, and people are mad that he's not some sort of pickup artist. Think about the last time you tried to talk to a fucking galactic senator that looks as good as Natalie Portman, then remember when you tried to hit on some ugly bitch when you were 14, you probably still didn't know what to do. Other supposedly terrible scenes like the Sandpeople are even more reasonable. Your mother has just been tortured and raped to death by Arabs and you could have saved her, if it wasn't for those fucking autistic priests. You tried to ask them for help but they just told you "dude just turn off your brain lmao".

Woah how did you guess I’m a 15 year old? Dude that’s pretty cool

This. TFA was an exact copy of ANH, and TLJ was a rehash of ESB with only a few innovations. The Phantom Menace is just The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones is just Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith is just Revenge of the Sith. These movies are original, they’re not just remakes. Didney took the “it’s like poetry, it rhymes” aspect of SW too far

desu I'd probably butcher a bunch of incompetent, complacent priests if it meant saving that

You know what's funny is I saw The Phantom Menace on opening night in 1999 with my friends from high school, and I distinctly remember after the excitement wore off the next day thinking about how terrible it was. I also remember telling my friends that in 20 years, kids who grew up with these movies will love them and have nostalgia for them, and here we are today and it's happening.

Please don't take this as a defense of the Disney Star Wars movies, because it's not. Star Wars has been dead to me since 1999, and now a whole new generation are experiencing that disillusionment that I went through 18 years ago. Just like my 62 year old uncle says Return of the Jedi was little kiddy shit, Star Wars died in 1982 for him. In 20 years, kids who were 7 years old in 2015 will defend these films, and there will be new, more terrible Star Wars movies that they'll shit on.

We should all realize our place in history and recognize this as a sign of growing older and moving on to more adult pursuits. These films have always been for children, and the sooner you internalize that the better. Alec Guinness was right.

some of your points are fair enough but if you think showing character origins is "MEMBAH THIS" then you truly are lost

>15 years from now the only people who will like Disney wars will be the people who are kids now.
You mean like what's going on right now with the prequels?

it's not appropriate for that fucking whore to be touching that little boy that way.

Looks like he's enjoying it too me desu

>Vader built c3p0, a protocol droid, to help his mom wash the dishes
Truly a great origin, thanks so much Lucas
>if you think showing character origins is "MEMBAH THIS" then you truly are lost
It's OT wankery plain and simple

And yet there are people who have positive opinions of the prequels

Why has no one ever done a
>You just know....
Pasta for this one

>A protocol droid is supposed to have an amazing backstory

>A protocol droid was a droid whose job was to aid sentients with their etiquette and relations with each other in the galaxy
>Nah, I just built him to help wash dishes xD
I fucking hate prequel fags
