Honestly Episode I and III aren't bad if you turn a blind eye too a bunch of the bullshit scattered throughout.
Still none of the prequels touch the originals. ROTJ was significantly worse than ANH and ESB, and it was still in a league above the Prequels.

I dont like Yoda kicking ass tho. But at least I understand why he is cool - he was at the top of his Jedi class.

Hey reddit

>Hate the prequels
>Still didn't watch the RLM video

Is it funny?

Why did Count Dooku not reveal the identity of Sidious when he was about to get his head cut off? Why is General Grievous important and who the fuck thought that his name was a good idea? Why does the opening crawl state that there are heroes on both sides? Why is it that when Anakin tells Windu about Sheev being a Sith Lord, the two proceed to calmly walk and discuss it as if nothing of significance has happened? Why is it a problem for Padme and Anakin to have a relationship? Are we to believe that the Jedi are autistic monks who steal children away from their homes to live a sexless, miserable life?

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.

Indeed. As soon as the word "Plinkett" is tossed, you can safely disregard the person that made said utterance.

Prequel hate is nothing but a meme. Only intelligent intellectuals are able to see behind the illusion and grasp the ingenious storytelling and world-building the prequels deliver.

Do not stoop down to the level of all drones that parrot the same hackneyed "criticism" they veil as nothing but the repetitive phrase a la "DUDE PLINKETT LMAO". It's a schtick, a tiring at that.

The prequels are endowed with grandeur that outshines anything modern cinema has produced in the past decade and due to their artistic merit, they will stand strong as timeless beacons of astute wit and film making.

Be a freethinker, not a redditor.

>>64718249

This. I laugh everytime someone dissmisses the prequels. I laugh harder when someone says TFA is better than the prequels. TFA is garbage. It's barely Star Wars. It lacks vision, imagination and charm , competly alienating the true fans(and by true fans I don't mean the "lol im so nerdy guyz just like sheldon xD") . TFA is a sterile product with artificial fun pandering to artificial nostalgia. It was made with one purpose : to make money. George Lucas made the prequels for the fans and the true fans enjoyed them. It's just the majority following trends and faling for the " lol the prequels are bad " meme. Breath-taking effects for the time, fantastic fighting, a major expansion to the universe, excellent music, insight on our favourite characters with a couple of great performances and a solid story are all strong points of the prequels that are hard to deny.

Correct. The incessant meme that is being perpetuated in popular culture is just the result of coming to terms with how majestically grand the prequels actually are. Imagine something being so out of line in terms of how big and great it is that the pendulum that is the reaction people have toward it swings on the other end of the spectrum in order not to receive a system shock. It's relieving to give in to peer pressure so the one's feeble mind does not fail completely. The path of least resistance has always proved to be the best remedy for a mind and intellect that is not yet ready to grasp the full extent of glory. Just wait OP until evolution has weeded out this gene that accounts for this behavior and humanity will finally see behind the blinding curtain that is reddit what ingenuity they unfortunately missed out on in eons past.

True, but his body of work is far out of the public eye these days except for Star Wars. Maybe Bridge Over the River Kwai, but most folks born in 1995+ really aren't going to take the time to watch a movie that's nearly 60 years old.

I actually prefer Return of the Sith to any of the original movies. The labyrinthine opening shot— of Anakin and Obi-Wan giving chase to Dooku through the space vehicles on the planet of Coruscant—is a mighty and audacious gauntlet-throw, the digital equivalent of the opening shot of Orson Welles’s “Touch of Evil." It wheels and gyrates and zips and pivots with a vertiginous wonder that declares, from the beginning, that Lucas had big visual ideas and was about to realize them with a heroically inventive virtuosity. And the rest of the movie follows through on that self-dare.

If I had seen ROTS in real time, in a theatre upon its release, in 2005, I think that, at the moment when Sheev, sizzling in the blue lightning that Mace Windu reflects back at him, cries out to Anakin, “Power! Unlimited Power!,” I would have leaped out of my seat yelling with excitement. The entire movie is filled with an absolute splendor of the pulp sublime, and that moment is its very apogee. Lucas reaches historic heights in the filming of action: the martial artistry of Anakin and Obi-Wan’s double duel versus Dooku, the gaping maw of outer space and of the airshaft into which the heroic duo drops, Obi-Wan’s light-sabre fight with the four-armed Grievous, and, above all, the apocalyptic inferno of the confrontation of Obi-Wan and Anakin. I watched these sequences over and was repeatedly and unflaggingly amazed by Lucas’s precise, dynamic, wildly imaginative direction.

The scripted politics of the conflicts have a grand imagination to match. What Lucas brings to the script of ROTS is a quasi-Shakespearean backroom dialectic of power-maneuvering. The dialogue is just heightened and sententious enough, just sufficiently rhetorical, to convey the grave moment of ideas in conflict and the grand mortal results of that dialectical clash—the making of a villain and the unmaking of a republic.

Grievous could have been handled better.

He should have been introduced in Episode II, so his character would have more weight.

Also, maybe just show a quick clip of him conquering a planet to reinforce how dangerous he was.

HoloNet News used to give updates on the Clone Wars, and it would say stuff like "General Greivous Conquers Duro" or "General Grievous Unleashes Brainrot Plague on Weemell Sector". He was literally feared and even bombed a city planet from from orbit.

He was part of the reason why humans got ethnocentric when the Empire rolled around.

The fact that so many redditors still name the forse awakens as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" star wars movie ever only tells you how far reddit still is from becoming a serious site. Patricians have long recognized that the greatest star wars movies of all times are episode 1 and episode 3, who were not the most action-oriented or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Redditors are still blinded by commercial success. TFA sold more tickets than any other star wars movie, therefore it must have been the greatest. Redditors are often totally ignorant of the prequels' subtleties. No wonder they will think that TFA did anything worthy of being saved.

Adorable. Star Wars: The Reddit Blacked Cucked Awakens apologists are insufferable. You're all cuckolds who are going to get cut down by me and my god given right to own a firearm in the inevitable race wars started by the zionist kikes and their nigger slaves. Rey is a Mary Sure and I hate women, they shouldn't be allowed to fucking vote or be educated let alone hold a lightsaber. I like the prequel because the entire cast is white like it should be and Samuel Jackson has been sold to me as a "cool" black guy so it's acceptable. Star Wars was created for god-fearing americans such as myself and kids shouldn't be allowed to own toys of black characters. JJ Abrams has ruined this franchise and George Lucas is our saviour.

Then we have 10/10 actors being given sticks and blank canvas all around them told to use their imaginations.

What is there to even act through in TFA, you're just following a strict set of rules and lines. Prequel shots you're given complete freedom to be your own man and create the scene as you see fit.

Why? because le effects looked good and were sometimes practical? Because characters walked around and did shit while they were talking instead of sitting on couches? Because the epic Guardians of the Galaxy dialogue was funny?
None of this hardly matters. Story wise, it's a disaster. It's all macguffin-driven yet The First Order were never even remotely close to getting it, smothering any potantial tension. All character relationships feel incredibly forced and rushed. Rey is just a genius at everything for no reason, even how to use the force. Orange ayy lmao alien is just there to tell the audience everything about the characters so JJ wont have to visually show the audience because the movie is for retards and children that have forgotten how movies are supposed to work. There was never any sense of direction to the plot. It was all just flashy pew-pew for two hours.

Are you new to light-hearted quippy humor? Star Wars had it, The Empire Strikes Back had it, and Return of Jedi had it. Interstellar has quips. The Dark Knight trilogy has quips. Most major motion blockbusters have quips. Get. Over. It.
>None of this hardly matters. Story wise, it's a disaster. It's all macguffin-driven yet The First Order were never even remotely close to getting it, smothering any potantial tension.
There's no tension in the prequels because replaceable clones fight replaceable robots. The tension in the film was getting the macguffin to the rebels to find Luke because the audience cares for Luke. By your logic, A New Hope has no tension either.
>All character relationships feel incredibly forced and rushed.

They are right, you can simply generate everything you want on a computer. Try recreating a spectacular CGI scene with practical effects and you'll discover that it's much more diffcult to do so, from building all the props to setting everything up and to hoping you get lucky and everything goes right and nobody gets hurt. Comparatively, yes, CGI is lazy and effortless.

And thats exactly why most blockbusters are shit. The difference is that the funny parts of the OT and TFA is that in TFA most of the quips and jokes feel completely detached from the scene they take place in. Like the scene where Maz temple is being attacked and in the middle of teh battlefield Han suddenly goes "Hey, Chewie. Let me try out you iconic bowcasterTM. WOW this thing really blows XD"

This movie is one of the greatest things ever put on camera its undeniable if you don't enjoy this you literally have no taste

I LOVE this meme.

http://www.vice.com/read/camille-paglia-believes-that-revenge-of-the-sith-is-our-generations-greatest-work-of-art
http://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/what-the-seven-star-wars-films-reveal-about-george-lucas

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.

How would you know? Also how would you do it if you replaced JJ?
>Once they meet Han, he just rolls after them for an hour while they talk about other things.
No they try to get to the resistance. Han didn't work for them or know where they were so they ask Maz.

>>64724467
It's a shit movie with shit writing, shit characters, shit action scenes and shit story. All it has going for it is Ewan McGregor and Ian McDiarmid. Just becaue you cum in your pants everytime someone flips around with a lightsaber doesn't make the movie "epic". Especially not when most of it's scenes are people walking in greenscreen corridors, that's hardly David Lean-style filmmaking.

the prequels aren't supposed to have any stakes. they're supposed to be a tragedy (how well that tragedy was executed is up to you to decide).

The "prequels are good" meme needs to die
They are as bad as TFA, except for RotS maybe

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

Top 2 are great
Middle 2 are good
Bottom 3 are trash

this is the only correct ranking

Yes, the long finale of Revenge of the Sith has more inherent artistic value, emotional power, and global impact than anything by the artists you name. It's because the art world has flat-lined and become an echo chamber of received opinion and toxic over-praise.

What was he supposed to do else? He just found out that everything he lived for does not exist anymore. He's emotionally crushed beyond repair and a vociferously vexed outcry is the only appropriate way to show this.

the only people who go out of their way to hate on the prequels are neckbeards who take Star Wars way too seriously

I agree with you, OP. The scence when they finally put the Vader mask on Anakin and there's a brief pause until the silence is broken with the iconic breath, is one of the greatest moments on the franchise.

If you're a hack maybe. Crushing the surrounding droids and equipment with the force would have sufficed and been more in line with his character.

>>64727192
not to mention Padme's Ruminations and when Sheev tells the tragedy of Darth Plagueis to Anakin
great scenes

>>64717234
No, you're the redditor. Get the fuck out.

"Ermagerd! Yoda's line contradicts page 632 of the Thrall Trilogy book 2! I'M SO LONELY!"

>>64727322
In the book it's said that he was trying to crush Palpatine also, but couldn't because he was too strong or some such. Scary.

Nice try reddit

>>64727239
I agree. I was arguing against saying that Jedi being keepers of the peace participating in a war means the movie is exloring the Jedi's morality

>>64727040
>Hating on reddit
Reddit boys make some noise let me hear you say ho!

REDDIT LIFE TILL THE DAY I DIE. CAN I GET A WOOT WOOT?

Pretty reddit in here tbqh family

this thread is gross

>>64718229
why is Sheev fighting using a Jedi weapon???

Who is more obsessed with reddit? /tv/ or /v/?

>>64718229
Because it's an epic, brave and masterfull piece of storytelling. Duh

>>64728500
statistically speaking, reddit is mentioned far more often on /tv/ than /v/
however /v/ is much more similar to reddit in both content and users

both equally. it's because they are reddit

>>64728644
I'm glad you're here to explain everything Reddit

>>64728653
What kind of fucking loser has the time to browse both of these fucking shitheaps they call "websites"

>>64718249
Fuck off dumb redditor
Don't you realize the OT was made 40-35 fucking years ago?
You need to learn to appreciate the limitations they had back then, and at the same time, manage to make the movies so damn good for late 70's/early 80's standards

>>64728871
glad I could help, f a m

>>64728653
That >implying is the most sickening of all. Reddit is 4chan for people who can't handle life and like to be edgy but not so edgy their parent's would disapprove just enough for them to get called a "scamp". Fucking faggots.

EDGY

Sure, but lucas was not engaged with any of it. He chose CGI so he could lay back on his lazy fucking ass and not have to spend another day on set.

>>64725775

I'm hoping that you are posting like a fucking youtube commenter on purpose otherwise you are a tremendous waste of life. Either way, actually.

Got baked to fuck the other night with a few mates and went into it watching everything jar jar did and viewing him as a sadistic wanker fooling everybody while pulling all the strings.
Yeah it's probably bs but made it interesting as fuck, movie is also confirmed comfy, has better music, setting, action and characters than TFA but whatever you unironically like the biggest money grab of all time.
lmaooooo
