>implying I still don't think they're cool as fuck

Nope, by that time I was contemplating suicide to make it stop.

I'd already spent way longer in the bathroom than necessary just because being away from the movie was better than going back, completely missing the 50s diner scene and not even knowing it was in the final movie until 14 years later, as AToC totally killed star wars for me.

This.

I don't believe you.

why do you hate fun?
AOTC was the first movie I ever went to see twice in theaters

>implying the clone army is the problem with AotC
They're the best part, bitch.

What ps2 game is this?

I was pretty passive at this point. Jango getting decapitated out of nowhere jolted me back to life for a moment but I was otherwise just in my thoughts.

Clones were one of the biggest saving graces of the Prequels.

Show me a ps2 game with equivalent in game CG to that.

>another Cape Wars thread

1950 diner is bad, 1650 cantina in TFA is good

Do you like The Force Awakens more or less than Attack of The Clones?

This. They are the coolest army in Star Wars.

How old are you, I'm 24 now but I was 9 when AotC came out. It was the coolest shit ever back then even though I can see it's shit now

I was so hyped as a kid for the battle scene in AotC. Biggest letdown of all time desu, it was basically a vidya cutscene.

>fun
>the anakin padme romance scenes

take up like 5 minutes of the runtime

I feel like posts like this aren't real? What kid is too cynical to think the Clone battle was cool?

Of course I did, I was 10

...

Even as a 14 year old I thought it was pretty dumb of them to run around firing on open ground like it's the Civil War.

I thought it was the coolest shit ever but like everyone else I was like 8 years old

Nah, I am a contrarian who just got done viewing RLM and I hate the prequels and TLJ was a good movie, ok?

Not that user but that shit was so short and cut to pieces in the edit. Wideshots were too blurry to tell what the fuck is going on, close ups too disorienting and didn't feature enough of the clones

The clone wars were one of the best aspects of the prequel trilogy. The era established a lot of interesting new concepts, factions, etc. Not all of the concepts worked, but a lot of them were cool.

Execution was overall still sloppy in the movies, though. That's kinda the whole trilogy, a lot of cool concepts with meh to bad execution. Mostly because of writing.

wtf I hate Return of The Jedi now
Why would the Mon Cala and imperial ships pretend it's naval warfare and exchange canons like 2 feet away?

Come to think of it, I hate Star Wars now because ship battles in space would never EVER be dogfights!

They need to release a special edition with updated CGI.

It felt like days.

>Wideshots were too blurry to tell what the fuck is going on, close ups too disorienting and didn't feature enough of the clones
Nigger, I could make out what was going on when I watched it on VHS.
No excuse.

George would never allow it unless he directly oversaw it

>defends clone wars
>calls others contrarian

how retarded can a person get?

here's an actual picture of someone who defends TLJ

this. the ultimate problem in the prequels is execution. ROTS executed the most well (still not a lot) out of the trilogy, and that's why it's regarded as the only good one by a lot of people. it did so much for star wars as far as wordbuilding and lore goes, and pretty much everything that they inspired (various comics, games, etc) were ranged from decent to great.

it's an absolute crime that disney refuses to acknowledge them in any way other than short bursts. we will NEVER get a spinoff movie set in the prequel era.

Waiting for a response as to why the unrealistic combat of the OT is good but the unrealistic combat of the PT is bad.

what's this?

AoTC was full as hype as fuck moments like Slave-1 and Obi-Wan
youtube.com/watch?v=3ME5jhsgmB4
I ain't even mad, 'cause there were some cool as fuck games that came out of that scene.
Yeah. They make the whole era kinda worthwhile. other than Sheev of course

the clones gave me battlfront 1 and 2 for the ps2. how could i ever not love these guys? the clones are literally the only reason to care about star wars.

Just rewatched prequels. They suck so much, almost everything in them is fucked up in one way or another. Only good things I could come up with are Kenobi and clones' design. But at least they tried to innovate unlike our rat overlords, prequels could work as the Room-esque so-bad-it's-good movies.

They engage at point blank range so the Death Star can't attack them without risking hitting the Star Destroyers, it's literally said in dialogue.

>prequels could work as the Room-esque so-bad-it's-good movies.
I don't get this mindset.
How is TPM THAT much more poorly made than RotJ?
Both are toyetic and sloppily written, both have subpar acting outside of a few characters, both have characters holding the idiot ball, both overuse SFX, etc...

I could see thinking that RotJ is a bit better than TPM, but to think that one is good and one is THE ROOM TIER bad is just delusional.

>Come to think of it, I hate Star Wars now because ship battles in space would never EVER be dogfights!
Explain how every other ship fight in the OT is realistic.
You can't.

>criticism against AotC
>brings up RotJ
>acts like he's made a compelling argument
The two are even remotely comparable, you retarded child. Your argument is literally "If x is bad then so is y" which is just plain fucking wrong.

How is it not comparable?
The space fighting in the OT is as unrealistic as the ground combat is in AotC.
see

The setting of the Clone Wars is the best aspect of the prequel era. It's honestly more interesting to me than the original trilogy era.

>one is space fighting
>one is ground fighting
This is the difference. You are shit at this. Just stop.

What the fuck is this from

>but muh clones
>muh world building
>muh concepts
Why can't prequelbrainlets comprehend that minor details don't make the movies any less of a trainwreck? I will never sit through Phantom Menace again just because Duel of Fates is a good song.

>This is the difference.
IT'S NOT A DIFFERENCE
HIS COMPLAINT WAS ABOUT REALISM

R E A L I S M

I was 9 when this movie came out and I thought it sucked then.

Do you like The Force Awakens more than Attack of The Clones?

fuck no

>Duel of Fates is a good song.
Almost any music that plays in TPM is hummable.

actually well done scenes

RotJ is just as good as the other two in the OT

you forget people haven't seen RotJ and that's why they criticize it

>HIS COMPLAINT WAS ABOUT REALISM
Which is never specified. The only claim is that they are the same. This is fucking pathetic. You tards simply link your own posts as "proof".

Since you are insisting that I embarrass you, here is the explanation you want:

The space battles work as if they are based on WWII dogfighting. Completely realistic as long as you understand what the filmmakers are aiming for.

The ground battles have modern style weapons and yet they use tactics from the 1700s as if they have single shot muskets. COMPLETELY UNREALISTIC.

PREQUELFAGS = BTFO

No.
The Obi-Wan scenes and the Arena onwards elevate it above TFA for me.

havent seen it

>Completely realistic as long as you understand what filmmakers are aiming for.
No? You're contradicting yourself.
I understand that the filmmakers were aiming for civil war/that era fighting in AotC, but that doesn't make it realistic.

Understnading that George was going for dogfighting in the OT doesn't make it realistic.
AND what about all the non-dogfighting stuff? How is the Falcon and TIE's in the asteroid field scene IN ANY WAY realistic?

It's a plain and simple double standard on your part.

>Star Wars should strive for realism
massive retard alert

The GAR as a whole was pretty awesome. Galactic Marines are my favourite.

>Giant fucking rape gunships with ball turrets
>White armour with T-shaped visors
>Space MG34 rifles
>walking arty lasers
>didn't afraid of anything
Clonest were some pretty cool dudes

I think that RotJ sucks too. Now that I think about it, you could say that people can't cry when the nu-wars sucks since Star Wars was never good.

I'm about to make you hate the OT as far as unrealistic tactics go.

What's so bad about that? Couldn't get them with orbital bombardment due to the ion canon and shield generator.

Their designs are cool but they shouldn't have been CGI

The Walkers are hilariously slow.
Also hover tech.

even once the generator was down they never used orbital bombardment

>wars not make one great
what did yoda mean by this?

They look slow because it's old propwork and they're so large. Slower gait but cover long distances pretty quickly. Also there's probably drawbacks to hover tech, either more affected by adverse conditions or can't carry as much. Definitely not the worst thing by a long shot.

Yeah, they've got great designs. Too bad the Clone Wars start in Episode II and then promptly end in III.

The same thing he meant when he said "if you leave now, help them you could- but you would destroy all that they have fought for", and then Luke left and none of that happened.

By that point they had basically taken the base and the rebels escaped. Unless you want to blow up Vader and his KKK entourage.

Have I got just the thing for someone who wants clone action.

You just changed your argument.

Basically rectified when Luke proved him and Alec Guinness wrong.

How? Couldn't shell the base due to ion cannon, cannon protected by shield, by the time they took down the shield they were already in control.

>Basically rectified
What?
All I was showing was that Yoda is full of shit, which was my rebuttal to your initial shitpost.

Your argument was that they couldn't bomb because of the shield. When the shield came down and they didn't bomb, you had to adjust your words.

But see, if I could use flimsy shit like this for the PT they'd be looked at better as well.
Imagine if I said I think that realism is secondary to a cool fight in a fantasy setting.

Not really. There armor was too strong for blasters so even though they didn't have any side or rear defenses, they were virtually impervious to what the Rebels threw at them besides for sneaky magnetic ropes.
The reason fighters weren't deployed against them was because the fighters needed to escort the transports.

It could've been that the Empire knew the Rebels tactical limitations and the walkers were specifically for an armored shock-and-awe frontal assault.

Are they still silly? Kind of, yeah, but it worked in the context of the film at least. They tried to explain some of the strategic purpose, which is more than we get in the prequels with civil war formations running up to each other blowing the shit of everything and massive walking artillery laser cannons that can't shoot farther than visual range and capital ships that don't have any way to support massive ground battles and ship battles where destroyers line up 50 feet away from each other and broadside like they're 17th century galleons and and and

The Clone Wars is great. Genuinely better than the prequel trilogy, except maybe some bits of ROTS.

Season 1 and the movie are shit, but after that is pure kino.

hey i didn't write that.

see
>Imagine if I said I think that realism is secondary to a cool fight in a fantasy setting.

The ONLY thing you could say to this would be that the fights aren't cool, and that's totally subjective.

>They tried to explain some of the strategic purpose
How are the walkers explained more than the Geonosis battle?

>They have an energy shield
>The Empire is aware of the Rebels limited capability and knows that it's ground forces will faceroll them. It's also reasonable to assume that they'll be trying to escape, so their fighters will be escorting larger ships instead of trying to win a ground battle that serves only as a delaying action

The prequels literally explain nothing. Why do the clones fight in huge ridiculous formations? Why is the entire battle fought at close range? Why doesn't the clone army just use armor against the mostly infantry droid army forces? There's lots of questions but it's all just cool movie battle.

The OT gave us at least some explanation of things before showing us flashy movie battles, like Lando telling the fleet to get close to the Star Destroyers during the Battle of Endor. Just a few passing lines are all that's required, but the prequels rarely even have that.

>are all that's required
But who says they're required?
see

Yoda and Ben were wrong, doesn't make them full of shit. And they didn't bomb it once the shields were down because they were already at the base. Why bomb an empty hangar? Are you pretending to be retarded?

But it's not like the walkers themselves aren't cool>logic any anyway you fucking lunatic!

>Having top heavy walkers in snow terrain with leg articulation that wouldn't be able to compensate for shifts in center of gravity or momentum shifts to the left or right
OT faggots would be complaining about how retarded this is if it had come out in the PT. Search your feelings

>Thinking anything in TPM comes close to Luke vs Vader
Big fuckin yikes dude

this

Read the entire post before commenting please.

Meanwhile the PT loving master race can enjoy both because they understand Star Wars was never realistic.

But they can compensate, just not when their legs are wrapped up. There's an EU story about it being an issue the brass choose to ignore. Yes yes, EU explanations are garbage but still, they're well enough balanced.

>they understand Star Wars was never realistic.
Honestly though this thread is nuts.
Thinking that something in SW should be judged on realism is nuts.

no, i didn't

>But the EU
Doesn't work. Doesn't work for the PT. Doesn't work for the OT.

>They can compensate
They clearly can not and anyone with half a brain for mechanical systems and balance works knows this.

Tell me how their legs are an issue other when the tow cable is used?

>hating the prequels is contrarian
>RLM viewers defend TLJ

Well if you put stupid battle scenes in your movie, expect them to be called out. Just because it's space-fantasy shit doesn't mean you can't have any common sense or realism. You're treating your audience like children, like they're stupid when you do that.
