Prequel Trilogy:

Prequel Trilogy:
-Made with love and passion
-Deep Phenomenological experience
-Endless memes, each scene is memorable
-Took nearly 20 years to come out, everyone was excited for their release
-Completely new stories, smart use of references to previous films
-Creator was inspired by Cambell, Kurosawa, Metropolis, Greek culture, ageless archetypal stories that humans have been telling for millenia
-Humor was classic, smartly done and doesn't rely on slapstick or quips

Disney Nu-wars:
-Soulless corporate slock
-Shallow popcorn flick entertainment for brainlets
-No memes to be found
-Come out every 6-12 months, forever. nobody gets excited for these movies
-Makers show every bit of contempt for its fanbase
-Shamelessly copy previous plots, scared to death of trying anything new(X-Wings, Tie-Fighters, rebels and empire, super weapon)
-Creators inspired by "fans of the fandom", spend every waking second trying to figure out what contemporary audiences want(and they don't know what they want)
-Humor increasingly slapstick, crass, quippy, and just flat out horrible

Are you ready to apologize yet?

I like how he's so passionate about his work he sold it to Disney before they could finish their offer.

I love the prequals and the only reason people hate it is because of stupid online hate wagons of reddit-tier babies. The only movie in the prequal flok I have an issue with is Attack of the Clones due to its lack luster performances and shoehorned villian. Though its saved by the scenes on Genosis and Komino.

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"
9. "The Last Jedi"

Episode 7 and 8 aren't even Star Wars movies. They are Marvel flicks masquerading as one.

Sorry Lucas.

I was apologizing after TFA

By that time, George had grown deeply resentful towards his audience for their rejection of the prequel trilogy. That's why he couldn't wait to get rid of it.

This, he was getting daily hate from the RLM inspired mouth breathers

you are a brainlet. you dont even know what good is.

Disney shill plz go

>clones on top

nice but here's the correct ranking

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

The actual, real, totally 100% unbiased and objective SW ranking is as follows:

>merely "good" tier
1. Empire
2. New Hope
3. Return

>Literally 50-50 good and absolute horse cock at the same exact time tier
4. Revenge
5. Phantom Menace

>100% pure, raw. unfiltered, uncut horse cock tier
6. Clones

>Fanfiction tier, aka Worse Than Horse Cock Tier
7. Rebel 1
8. TFA
9. TLJ
10. (probably) IX

>Humor was classic, smartly done and doesn't rely on slapstick
?

It's not surprising that the same people who attack the prequels are always unversed in real film or anything artistic, and that the people who praise the prequels (Zizek, Paglia, Brody, etc) are always literate, educated, and versed in real film.

The fact that everyone points to Plinkett as the authority on why the prequels are bad speaks volumes. Mike Stoklasa is one of the least artistic people on the planet - he can't process movies outside of the conventions of Hollywood films, his approach to narrative is tempered with the same surface-level requisites listed on tvtropes.

Any complaint that people have about the prequels illustrates a weak grasp on film. How many art films would they claim has 'too much sitting and talking'? They would watch the end of Breaking the Waves and whine about dated CGI. Their sensibilities for 'good dialogue' in what is intentionally pulp comes from bad pulp, ie, the original Star Wars, the only pulp they've ever seen. They would similarly view any homage-driven art film and miss the entire point.

Lucas' only mistake in the prequels was doing something daring, original, artistic and literate, not realizing that the manchildren conditioned by the original SW trilogy to loathe anything cerebral would lash out against his cinematic risks.

this but unironically

>Deep Phenomenological experience
Jordan Peterson pls go

Peterson didn't invent Phenomenology, user. He might have been the person YOU first heard it from.

a new hope
>>>>
whatever

this is fact

the original trilogy is good, nothing else.

Star Wars "fans" 100% deserve Disney. He knew exactly what he was doing when he sold to Disney and I honestly can't blame him

Wrong. The Clone Wars was producing its sixth season with finished scripts through season 8 and George had begun production of Episode VII and already secured Mark, Harrison, and Carrie's returns. Disney blackmailed George into selling (at an undervalued price).

Sexual harassment charges, or what?

>Humor was classic, smartly done and doesn't rely on slapstick or quips

This has to be bait, but I'm fucking falling for it. Fucking Jar Jar Binks is the manifestation of all of those

The fact that Disney has marginalized and pushed aside everyone who was connected in any way with Lucas makes me think you might be on to something

>Made with love and passion

this is still difficult to believe given how half-assed the script was

not defending the sequels here, but come on, the prequels were still bad.

probably pedophilia, with Spielberg.

I expect this was it. He's the reason Indiana Jones fucked a 13 year old.

and sexual harassment charges, at one time, could have been water off a duck's back. nowhere near as serious as they are now.

...

Explain? Filoni's, the director of clone wars is still around but aside from that it does feel like a lot of the old crew at lucasfilm has been replaced with a lot of young blood. With the story group presiding over them. Filoni's stayed because he wanted to try and keep a part of George there bc George had mentored him for the last decade through clone wars. It's honestly ridiculous Filoni's isn't in charge of at a higher position in the company.

Filoni introduced time travel to save his waifu and spent the last season of rebels making sure everyone knew he was a furry. He's lost his way.

Why do all the buildings look like dildos?

classic Sup Forums projecting their own pedophilia onto their idols

I was ready and apologized after TFA. I’m so sorry George.

My rankings of movies now

1. Revenge of the Sith
2. Return of the Jedi
3. The Force Awakens
4. Rogue One
5. A New Hope
6. Empire Strikes Back
7. The Phantom Menace
8. The Last Jedi
9. Attack of the Clones

I enjoy and love them all tho

True, without Lucas as his idea man he was bound to flounder at some point. His obsession with Ahsoka got the better of him too. But he's still the best thing at Lucasfilm right now, which isn't saying a lot.

>Sup Forums has pushed contrarianism to the point where the prequels are considered not just passable but legitimately great
never thought id see the day tbqh

They may have been bad movies, but they're not soulless Disney shlock that we'll be getting every 12 months going forward

daily reminder that Filoni never even managed to outdo the first two seasons of Clone Wars 2003.

My rankings:

Empire strikes back
Return of the jedi
Revenge of the sith
New hope
Rogue one
Phantom menace
Attack of the clones
Force awakens
Last jedi

Wrong, nigger.

There's nothing in the entire run of Filoni Clone Wars that outdoes the visual imagination displayed in Tartakovskys Battle of Muunilinst. Tartakovsky is a master of spectacle and a perfect fit for Star Wars, because he knew how to push it into new areas in the same way George was doing with the prequels. Filoni can't really be commended for anything. He didn't do anything, really. He's a curator of ideas at best. Which is what Clone Wars 2008 was--an attempt in revitilizing the prequel-craze for new kids while at the same time making it more digestable for plebs that felt alienated by many aspects of the prequels (such as Anakins characterization).

Only mutt pedophiles praise Filoni.

>Prequel Trilogy:
>-Made with love and passion

The prequel trilogy was a sterile, soulless, boring slog

Based Lucas put phallic symbols all over the capital planet to indicate male dominance
