no they weren't.
But expect to be inundated with the some douches parroting the exact same criticisms we've all heard before.

Heres the truth the original trilogy wasnt perfect, but most of the things people hate about the prequels - well the exact same criticism can be applied to originals.

I know Jar Jar is annoying but remember that time Chewie actually contributed to the plot? that bit was awesome! err wait...

The force awakens has given me some serious nostaglia for the prequels, nope they aint perfect, but at least theres some attempt at creativity in fhere.

>>719372779
besides terrible fake cgi, wooden forced acting, bad generic jokes , lifeless stiff characters, horrendous pacing, vaguely racist character stereotypes , a waste of space for episode 1, and horrendous choreography for the duels (besides the maul duel) yeah I guess they weren't too bad

>>719374010
no one hated Jar Jar because he didn't contribute to the story, they hated him because he was annoying, not funny , grating, dumb , took up way too much screen time, and was generally a piece of shit.

>>719374509

Oh yeah, midichlorians.

>>719374509
yeah that cgi, was pushing the boundaries of the time, yeah the battle at the end of ep 1 doesnt hold up that well, but at this point literally no one was doing cgi armies, they were breaking new ground on shit.

>>719372779
The first one was hot garbage. The second one wasn't that bad, but by then I didn't really care and didn't see it until it came out on cable TV. Never saw the last one so i can't comment.

Don't forget that Phantom Menace had Brian Blessed, that absolves it of a lot.

Am i the only one who thinks without the prequels Obi-Wan's death scene in episode 4 makes no fucking sense what so ever?

>>719376208
You're probably not the only one who thinks that, but that's mainly because nearly everyone has forgotten that Star Wars was originally about religion.

They were that bad. There were some hints of good stuff, but overall it was a train wreck. But they can definitely screw things up worse with the new movies. I'm guessing VIII is where it's really all going to go to hell. I'm also not optimistic about the Han Solo movie.

The force is awakens is about as overrated as the prequels are underrated.

This is worrisome. Favorite thing about the prequels is that they didn't fuck up Han Solo.
I'd rather just pretend that Firefly is the Han Solo prequel series.

I'd also prefer to see Bounty hunter films. There were some good stories in the abandoned extended universe about IG-88, Boba Fett, Bossk.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being extremely underrated, the prequels score a 1.

Therefore on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being extremely overrated, force awakens scores a 1.

So you are saying Episode VII is extremely underrated? I dunno about that, it was average at best.

no, im not, nobody else was doing battle scenes that were completly cgi at the time.

>>719380893
I stopped watching when Spock got killed.

The prequels might've sucked but it gave us the droids vs clonetroopers factions in response to the OTs rebels vs imperials. Clones and droids are both mass produced disposables and the clones are of course precursors to the empire.

Disney sucks like the prequels but adds nothing new. First order vs resistance is not a different enough twist to things and is such a lazy change at that. At least if something cool could emerge from the shitshow it could redeem itself but again resistance vs first order is just so uninspired, might as well not have done it at all.

>>719374744
Jar Jar was the fucking best character

When Poe and Finn end up having a gay relationship I'm going to laugh at all you fanbois that stuck by the franchise long after it was ruined.

It started off really lighthearted and aimed more at children but as the seasons went on it got darker and more aimed at the older audience and even started exposing the flaws in the republic before it got cancelled

The animation seriously improved over time too, the unreleased episode that was finished had amazing lighting and even dust particles if i rememver correctly; sad it was cancelled

Lets be entirely honest here, the originals are ovepraised... if you rewatch them now you can see how cheesy the dialog is, how poorly acted it is, you get the idea... But when you look at the new ones, they're amazingly made, the dialog feels so true and the acting is spot on... I don't see why you'd say Disney can fuck up a franchise that's already been fucked up since the start due to 3 overrated movies, so far all they've done is fix the entire franchise with Rogue: One, and remind everyone that they're still interested in Starwars with ep VII

>>719381099

I really loved the prequels when they were in cinema, it had lots of action and was so intense. Then my dad said there was a iv, virtually and vi and I was so exited. They turned out to be boring ass vhs looking skits with barely any action compared to the new ones. I think it comes down to which ones you watch first, people complain about the prequels because it's not like their star wars but the prequels are my star wars

Rey is Too Strong A Woman to be seduced by cheap flattery. She'd also beat Kirk in a fight because hey, she beat the most powerful practitioner of the force left in a lightsaber battle because she was reasonably good with a long stick earlier in the movie.

>>719381797
Qui-Gon is my favorite jedi because of how humble he was and he was an amazing force user to be able to discover that ancient technique and then pass it on to Obi-Wan from training him while QGJ was still a force ghost

Honestly they're trying way too hard to make bitched more satisfied cause both Rey and the R1 whore fucking suck. Plus I found it absolutely retarded how they built up the R1 girl as a character and she just dies at the end

>>719381420
It's Exar Kun.

>>719381884

>>719381880

Fair enough.

>>719381884
Have you seen the Clone Wars? He appears in a vision to Yoda in the finale and shows him the way to start the training. It was actually fucking Liam Neeson's voice too, the only original actor to reprise the role for the cartoon. Anyway, Qui-Gon had his darkness to him, but he was a Jedi to the core, and he did well and truly die.

My favorite Star Wars episode is when Kirk and President Lincoln team up to fight Genghis Khan and some Klingon dude.

Qui-Gon was once a pupil of Count Dooku.
Qui-Gon pushed for Jedi Council approval to train Anakin.
Qui-Gon (outside of the movies) had a pupil turn to the dark side.
When Anakin is refused to be trained, what happens? Qui-gon 'dies' and Obi-cuck takes up the call to finish what his master wanted to do. Raise up another sith lord.

Making a character that YOU THINK is based on stereotypes is not racist. kys

Episodes 1,2, 3 were homosex.
Episodes 4,5,6 were amazing.
Episode 7 was a copy of 4 and only "okay"
Rouge One was better than 7, but not as good as 4,5,6

>>719382568
Qgj was jedi the tests that he Yoda, Obi-Wan and then anakin passed couldn't be passed by a sith. Sith inherently use the dark side for power and succumb to emotion etc.
Jedi have the power of immortality in the force ghost which mosteoporosis definitely is dark side power but they have the light to balance them.

So in truth they probably aren't either sith or jedi and both. However as the force works there has to be sith and jedi in the galaxy for there to be balance.

George Lucas kind of didn't want the force to be too magical/spirituality power and it ended up becoming that after he introduced midi-chlorine but every middle age dude who saw the original triliogy as children felt like they were told Santa wasn't real and hated the pseudo sci-fi explanation of the force by lucas...

It would explain why some jedi or sith are powerful or why some people are sith or jedi. instead of the mindset "how could they do that without training!??"

Believe me, this won't happen. Their relationship is going to be more like siblings. They're going to make Fin get with that pilot guy. The actor even admitted he was flirting through his performance.

Disney really should start focusing on the prequels a little more its like theyre afraid of it thinking its going to end up like the movies, I mean I loved the prequels but the acting and writing wasnt on par like the original trilogy, still the whole Clone Wars was amazing

That could be easily explained in the next film though. Maybe she's some god tier force god or someshit.

Alright mates, arguing aside, if anything needs said it's that Rogue One was the best Star Wars movie to date. The whole guaranteed gay character shit and the next few anthology films and having to wait almost six years for a Boba Fett anthology film and the shitty rehash that was Episode VII may be letting us down, but hey, we had Rogue One and that battle scene was fucking awesome. I have yet to see any movie, at all, ever, come close to creating something as glorious as that space combat.

>>719385459
>>719385515
I'm hoping its explained more.

Might be that she can't control her powers since they came so suddenly and without training and the focus of VIII is to keep her from falling to the dark side or just unable to wield the force safely.

>>719372779
I'll share with you a big reveal I know about Ep. VIII.

First, let me explain a crucial element from ROTJ before my major Ep. VIII reveal...

Vader's body didn't disappear in ROTJ. Then why does his force ghost appear at the end of ROTJ? Because his spirit was guided by both Yoda and Obi-Wan. There's a flashback scene where we'll first see the force ghost world in Ep. VIII where Yoda and Obi-Wan (cg Alec Guinness) guide the Young Anakin (played by Hayden Christensen) to the light side. They even kid around with Anakin about how he thought all that time that Obi-Wan trained Luke when it was in fact, Yoda who did.

Now that that's out of the way, in Ep. VIII the three Wise Men (Anakin, Yoda and Obi-Wan) also meet with Darth Plagueis the Wise, now The Enlightened who we learn was responsible for Anakin's birth after he was betrayed by the guy you call "Sheev". Since Anakin had the highest midichlorian count, even higher than Plagueis, he also has the ability to create another chosen one to stop Snoke and Kylo Ren and the First Order. Anakin we learn created Rey who also is fatherless when he first learned of the Knights of Ren and Snoke. This is why she has a strong connection with Luke as a father figure she never had in Ep. VIII. And the reason Rey has higher, instinctual powers, more than any other Jedi before her is because of Anakin's idea of copypasting so to speak some of his skills inside Rey's midichlorian count, something that Plagueis could never do. Plagueis could only revive those that are dead not improve yet those who are not yet born.

>>719383827
Agreed until R1 being worse than 6. Ewoks were literally jar jar precursors, very cringeworthy. Maybe its just me

>>719385914
lol, I can manage that.
I just enjoy stuff and I like Star Wars, and yet never feel I can be a part of the the star wars fan base, simply because it was fun for me.
Apparently holding the thought,that I had a good time watching star wars movies including the prequels and didn't get enraged by them, kinda discludes me from the fanbase..weird.

tfw 99% of expanded universe went down the drain
>no thrawn
>no jedi academy
>no legacy
>no courtship, no bakura

Heir to the empire would have made for a far better movie than the force awakens. Only difficult part would have been attempting to age luke/han/leia only 6 years, wouldnt have been able to use the original actors.

I grew up with some of those books. Always hoped that after the prequels they'd make either the heir trilogy or the jedi academy trilogy, but instead they just used a knockoff of 4 and relegated thrawn to a cartoon.

Was ass blasted when they made the EU into "Legacy", and I'm still ass blasted to this day.

>t. complete nerd

>>719388281

Is some executive at disney declaring they arent canon somehow changed there quality or something?

>>719388447
True, but the overall disappointment still remains. Sort of a "what could have been canon" sort of thing. Like i said, i always hoped they would make movies of parts of the eu. Watching something that you loved from your childhood come to life on the big screen is pretty damn cool. The chances of that happening now are low for the near future. Maybe they might after the final trilogy, but i doubt it.

>>719385194

Would have been okay if they were in for a few scenes, but a group of teddy bears defeating a legion of the emperors best troops is just silly.

Yea because CGI armies suck.
Take Lord of the Rings.
These movies had a very nice mix of lovingly rendered CGI, but more importantly, pretty much everything besides the massive monsters and really huge things like Minas Tirith was real.
This made the movie an amazing exprience that holds up wonderfully even now, because when you look at an Uruk-Hai, you know hes actually fucking there...
look at Star Wars now. Their CGI was considerably worse, and on top of that, literally every single trooper in the Battle of Geonosis was fake.
Every monster or ship was fake.
Every background was fake.
All the weapons were fake.
The movie doesn't hold up anymore. It barely did at the time. Accept it.

>>719376694
The Emperor was the only part of those movies that didn't suck. That, and Obi-Wan wasn't too bad.

I actually liked the prequels, but I thought The Force Awakens and Rogue One were boring as shit.

yeah fair enough.

I just dont get the agnst.
Now theres a disney canon and legends canon, the end result is more star wars, we have new disney canon stories AND legends stories, what's to hate here?

For the record i completly agree that heir to the empire and the old post ROTJ stories were better than the current ones.

There's the thing - if you thought the prequels were bad, at least they were over and done with in three films. From 1999 to 2005, they released a Star Wars movie three years apart from eachother and then it was done.
Disney will run this series into the fucking ground - they're trying to produce a Star Wars movie every year, and it's going to get to a point where the series just gets fatigued and nobody gives a shit about it any more.

>>719391970
Or, they could have saved the CGI for those things only instead of using it for LITERALLY FUCKING EVERYTHING.

>>719381032
Maul rules. Most of the people I know that bitch about him coming back haven't even watched Clone Wars or Rebels.

>>719393097
I watched Rebels and it instantly disappointed me in comparison to the Clone Wars. Is it any good?

Anybody who likes the EU is a faggot, it was never canon. It was written by fags, for fags.

i can't believe this thread is still alive. /b/ really is shit now.

>>719393186
I still like the clone wars more, but its slowly growing me.
Has a far more direct narrative than the clone wars, in the CW's things could jump around from episode to episode, this time your with Ahsoka and Anakin, next episode might a story with only clones, or an Obi-Wan story.
Rebels on the other hand is kind of a straight path, you just follow the story of the crew of the Ghost basically. Rebels doesn't feel as epic as the CW's did.
Also i'd argue whilst watching the CW's adds tremendously to the prequels, so far Rebels hasn't offered much to original saga of the the rebellion.. so far.

I just thought it had no balls compared to CW, I men in Clone Wars soldiers died, there was violence and explosions, ships would blow to bits, every Character was well written and interesting, in Rebels they're all set to stun, they never kill any of the stromtroopers, and all the main characters feel like stereotypes. It just felt like another shitty Disney cartoon with a Star Wars paint job.

Yea but they wont show her die, and thats what bugs me. In CW, you watched them get killed, remember when that Novice jedi chased Grevious in his lair and was cut down like a fleeing animal? That sort of violence combined with the animation style and cool effects made it a show that wasn't just for kids, it was an action show with a balance that made it appeal to everyone, that was its genius. Disney made a kid's show with lasers.

>>719381025

Watching that little Mon Calamari jedi get impaled was sweet, but I think they'll kill Ahsoka in a season finale. Probably nowhere near as graphic though, probably fall off something but go out like a hero.

>>719374509
>besides terrible fake cgi, wooden forced acting, bad generic jokes , lifeless stiff characters, horrendous pacing
Return of Jedi?
You all niggs just have to reckon that the only thing that make Star Wars slightly good is Empire Strikes Back and, if you're generous, a New Hope, despite it being the super linear cliché adventure shit

>>719394380
If they throw her off something (basically a disney trope at this point) theres always the chance they can bring her back later and infuriate everyone but the little kids.
I want to see her fight Vader, I want to see her believe she convinced him of his evil, an then I want to see her cut down as Anakin proves the darkness inside him has consumed his soul, and there is no love in him anymore, even for her.
That would be emotionally moving, shocking, and powerful, and carry so much more weight than just
Vader: "PUSH" *force push*
Ashoka: "YAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHOOOIIIEEE"

>>719372779
Prequels are cancer that have forces fans to resort inane theories like the Ring theory and "well the jedies are looking into the future when they fight" to defend the cancer. Disney Is already fucking up the franchice, it's only a matter of how bad the fuck up will be.

May as well watch a ninja movie with all the speed and flips n shit

People tend to think there are no dumb races in the galaxy. George Lucas just so happen to imagine an actual stupid race. It's that simple jar jar wasn't the only dumb character. Most of his race was pretty dumb sure they had the resources and a stubborn ruler. That doesn't make them smart.

Anakin may have sounded whiney all the time, that because he was always forced to believe he was so great... but never allowed to show it. Plenty of entitled rich bitches whine very much the same. Anakin isnt some abstract concept.

After TFA I appreciated 1-3 a little more seeing at least they were different and not 4-6 all over again with a perfect main character who (based off of the only evidence we have) could wield the force faster than any other jedi, out of nowhere.

>>719397200

Look, he wants to make space niggers, that's fine, just don't give one of them a big part in the movie.

Standard rules of swordplay have little to no significance when it's applied to Space Wizard Monk Samurai.

>>719397701
Fuck, forgot to add my other two points.
2. Anakin's annoying level wasn't a vapid arrogance, it was a whiney emofag getting emotional and angry about things.
3. 4-6 had their flaws, and worked past them.
1-3 were utterly crippled by them.

>>719397701
>at least they were different
I can give you this much

>>719397882
What? You're gonna tell me that battle scene where two old men hit their sticks together is more exciting than the final duel of the fates on Episode III?

Don't get me wrong, I know the significance of their last battle was much more important, and there was much more at stake there, and the dialogue was far better. But in terms of raw battling, the latter was much more interesting to look at.

>>719397911
Yea it does, its the exact same thing except these swords just cut through everything. Just because they glow doesn't mean they aren't still swords.

Qui-Gon was just a badass Gray Jedi. He knew you could be a Jedi without being a rules lawyer, bitch like the council, without going full "I kick puppies 4 teh evulz" Sith retard either.

>>719397881
No they weren't, that's why the Gungan leader blatantly said the humans thought themselves better, Because some truth existed. And even at that point the queen only bows in need of resources and men.

>>719398002
I STILL blame Anakin's annoyance and bad lines on the direction, not on the actors themselves.
Hayden Christessen gets a bad name because no one told him to maybe try to do that line again, or maybe not to it at all, because " I don't like sand because it gets everywhere" sounds fucking stupid.

>>719398117

FFs m8, it's like you people just read the first paragraph of everything.
Story and plot development is important, as I literally just fucking said. But whether you like it or not, action is almost just as important.

>>719398061
Again, like I JUST SAID.
The Jedi are LITERALLY fucking space wizards.
They can push with their mind, run at mach speed at will, jump several feet in the air, cast lightning with their fingers and so on... And you seriously want to try to apply earthly combat rules to that bullshit?

>>719398172
I said I know some basics of how to move when you use a sword, I don't even own one fuckface, I'm just not an imbicile that thinks being a show-off makes me fight better. You know what happened to show off warriors in history? They died being a cocky dipshit because their opponent acted like the fight was what it was. A battle of life and death.

>>719398240
If I recall, they kicked Jar Jar out because of how stupid and dangerous he was. Everyone else was just a space frog that could walk.

>>719398310
keep talking weeby, go back to your sex pillows.

>>719398263
Yea George shouldn't be allowed to write, ever.
Yea I am gonna apply earthly combat rules to that, because a Jedi can still be killed by a Lightsaber like anyone else. They fight with sabers or with the force, and when they do swordfight they rarely incorporate the force into it besides super jumps and lunges.

>>719398414

Ok.
That means if someone's dueling with you and they suddenly pull out a 9mm against your pointy stick, you're fucked, right?
Ok.

The Jedi have singular fighting styles, which are obviously made to create defensive and ofensive stances against the different threats, like other lightsabers, lightning strikes, blaster bolts, flying objects, etc.
So OF COURSE their combat style is gonna be different than whatever the fuck you would learn on earth.

>>719398693

>>719397200

Even ROTS still suffers from several problems.

Bad CGI that was a joke compared to what they were doing on the Lord of the Rings films around that same time.
Horrendous dialogue
Laughable and cringe worthy performances from Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman

also... i don't know why this happened with George Lucas, but he made some massive continuity errors that should not have been there.

>>719398024
Yup. Ep. 4-6 had much more slower fights, that much is given. But swordmanship is about more than just moves, it's mostly psychology and studying your opponent. This is my main problem with fights in prequels. In original trilogy you can actually see Luke change during the fights. He becomes less avoiding, less cracefull the more angry and therefor closer the dark side he gets, culminating in RotJ where eventually he just looses it and starts mindlessly maim Darth. Luke at that point has lost all concept of the jedi code and is just beating Darth into a submission, only finding himself at the nick of time before just killing Vader. And this is a change that you can see starting in Empire strikes Back, not through dialogue, but through the fight in Cloud City. This however is something that can't be carried over on the more action oriented fights of the prequels, due to the fastness and moves of those fights. In RotS Anakin communicates his hate and frustration through dialogue and facial impressions only, his fighting does not change. In RotS the only strategical point is presented by Ohi Wan, the higher ground, and Even that would have easily been negated by the same moves that Anakin had used previously. I can see why people like the more action oriented fights of the prequels, I just wach ole ninja movies for that.

>>719399027
>i don't know why this happened with George Lucas
Eventually old age catches up to you.

Which is why people who thought that the franchise was much better in his hands, rather than on the same company responsible for the MCU are so delusional.

Ewan McGregor Obi- Wan was better than Alec Guiness

>>719398663
Don't kid yourself, intellect can be groomed into cultures. You can force intellect. That is why the Asians being smarter stereo type exists. Their families and country push for them to be smarter. And if that's not it then it's natural?

Also can we just appreciate ewan mcgregor's lightsaber skills? And forget the scene with the younglings. Cheers.

Also Rogue one was better than The force Awakens

You don't get it... you're not talking about a balance, you're not talking about art. You have literally said that action takes precedence over story, dialog, acting, and every actual aspect of filmmaking. You're calling for explosion porn, not storytelling. Go watch Bay and leave movie discussions to people with working frontal lobes.
