here it is
OP is a faggot for not doing this

And what did the sequels do?

Well.. they ruined the OT. Han went back to smuggling came back to be comic relief and throw out some le old references xD before getting killed by his autistic son in one of the worst death scenes of all time.

Luke gave up on the jedi and is edgy now. return of the jedi will never be enjoyable again because you know it's pointless and the characters achieve nothing.

the original characters are failures and it's up to perfect faultless Rey to save the day and teach luke some new tricks.

You were stupid if you ever took this literal fanfiction as canon to begin with. Even the fucking cartoons meant more, at least the guy that created Star Wars had to sign off on them even if he wasn't directly involved.

i havent seen any star wasr movie except rogue one
the reason it was successful was because they took off that cringie light sword thing from the previous movies
i might not be watching this if the new movie has the buzzing sword crap

They tripled the size of the Star Wars universe, and only in a good way. What did the sequels do?

It's a fictional universe, NONE of it is "important."

>>81651281
>return of the jedi will never be enjoyable again because you know it's pointless and the characters achieve nothing.

Not if you ignore the sequels as the non-canon fanfiction that they are.

In time, we will come to see them the way alien fans see Resurrection and Terminator fans see every Terminator movie after Judgement day.

The Disney Wars movies are just the Jaws sequels of the 2010s. Years from now, we'll look back on them and think "what the hell were they thinking?"

They just don't look like real Star Wars. In the prequels they immersed us in alien worlds. Disney just makes a bunch of generic forest planets that look like they were filmed by some kids in their back yard.

>>81651967
Every scene of all of them. Saying something has heart and soul just mean it's authentic, which the prequels most definitely were. Inauthentic things don't make mistakes that big.

You can definitely tell how big of a role Lucas had in creative control before he was ousted. He was obviously personally approving almost every single character name, placename, and new alien race, because all of the new shit doesn't feel Star Warsey at all.

Like pic related, this was Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy or something, not fucking Star Wars. Everything just feels completely wrong.

>>81652021

Aside from including Yoda and Vader, there wasn't really anything nostalgic being used from the OT.

TFA, however, is PURELY nostalgic pandering -- and it doesn't even attempt to hide it.

TFA is simply a bad movie.
Not only a failed SW movie.

Finn as a character makes no sense whatsover.
Rey is a boring Mary Sue who succeeds at everything without any training be it piloting the Falcon (she said she never flew it before) or her using force abilities she shouldn't even know about (Rey lived her life in a desert isolated - Han needed to tell her that Jedi are a thing)

Starkiller Base makes no sense in any way

TFA is just bad.
It could be a new franchise without the OT existing and it would still be shit

>>81652422
>nah it's just an orgy of CGI you can't tell what the fuck is actually happening
Just like the dogfights of TFA, except the battle of Coruscant was giving you the idea that a full scaled war has been wrecking shit since the last movie.

>>81652402
I'm not even memeing, it was single handedly the most enjoyable one and had me entertained from start to finish.

The Phantom Menace was boring. Revenge of the Sith had its moments but wasnt as fun and engaging as AOTC. A New Hope was meh and didnt age well at all and Luke is not really a likable character to carry through a whole trilogy. The Empire Strikes back was incredibly dull and boring for the first half up until Cloud City and Return of the Jedi, well, it was worse then a Phantom Menace aside from the Darth Vader and Luke fight. A force awakens was blatant plagarism and shouldnt be considered a film and a Rogue One was awful all around aside from some decent CGI and visuals.

The only SW film that was enjoyable from start to finish without it slowing down or feeling like a boring trudge was AOTC, and for that is the reason why its the best one. Yeah, Anakin said some cringey shit, but you have to give it to Hayden for perfectly portraying an autistic boy genius turned space monk with PTSD while trying to romanticize a royal queen.

>>81652557
we were shown entire galaxy and its history you moronic RLM drone, stuff like old republic was intersting, OT never really explored the setting

>>81652370

Yeah nah, maybe its because family themes get to me, but I still get goosebumps watching that scene.
>would have been okay if we actually had a reason to care about these characters but they are stoic as fuck throughout the movie and we know nothing about them other than that they are jedi
Can't agree. The whole scene is epic as fuck, Kenobi coming to late to save his master and being forced to wait behind the laserwall while the seconds go on and on is pretty great.
>not a scene, more of a story arc, and it's poorly executed like most of this movie
I couldnt remember any scene specifically, but you got what I mean. It still serves as a leadup to the conclusion and does that well.
>Oh no! not KI AID MUNDI! He had like 2 whole lines in the entire franchise god no RIP
Sure we dont really care about the sidekicks, but it still gets you in the end, Anakin being forced to kill the young ones with that look in his eye, the surprise on the side of the jedi and the mechanical, emotionless execution of the order are all top tier.
>there's absolutely no tension since you know all of these characters will survive assuming you've seen the OT. just the most boring contrived bullshit. "She's lost the will to live" fuck off
Everybody knew the outcome. If that's whats getting you so buttmad you shouldnt have watched in the first place. For most of us it was a great scene because we got to see this last fight between Anakin and Obi-Wan.

The star wars cycle is real.
In a few years /tv/ will like the sequels and hate the originals

What is it about these Disney Star Wars movies? I'm not sure how to explain it but something about them just feels like a Marvel superhero movie. It's like you're watching Avengers or something but with a cheap Star Wars skin slapped on it. Does anybody else know what I'm talking about?

The prequels were bad but at least they felt like authentic Star Wars movies.

>>81652676
I don't base my opinions around what RLM likes or doesn't like, I can just sniff out their retarded worshippers who do.

You can't just ignore them because they're shit. That's not how it works. Yes, Star Wars would be better off without the prequels, but then again the same could be said about these shitty sequels.

>>81652365
>Trade negotiations

What was being traded, where, why, and how? The fact that Lucas doesn't answer any of these questions when the trade dispute is one of the central fucking conflicts of the movie shows that he's "trying" to make a more adult movie but ultimately has no idea how to write something like that.

"Why are the trade federation doing a blockade?"
>Because naboo opposes taxation of trade routes
"Why?"
>Because naboo is good and the trade federation are baddies
"What's so important about these trade routes that they're being taxed or having people oppose their taxation in the first place?
>Lol idk

Star trek can be shit sometimes but they at least try to flesh out why political things in space are happening. George wanted that but was too busy trying to show another hero's journey with a child actor that can't act to actually establish what the fuck is happening. Political intrigue is a lot more complex and harder to establish than heroic rebels fighting a tyrannical empire

It's Star Wars mates. Arguing about what series is or isn't shit is just not a viable discussion. There is almost know way to come to terms with the massive scale of technology change and political and social influence that goes into making a Star Wars movie. The originals were a product of their time. The Prequels were a product of theirs. The Sequels will be flawed un unique and disturbing ways as well. That doesn't mean they have nothing to offer.

The title of OPs article is click bait. I also remember an article in 2005 about how to date RotS is the most important art work of all time from a cultural impact and economic value standpoint. That was also click bait but there is a kernel of truth. Look at how widespread and deeply Star Wars is part of world culture now. There are few artworks or commercial products that penetrate societies and engrave themselves emotionally into peoples life. Star Wars, with its worts and all is bigger than Jesus H. Fucking Christ and likely will be for a long time. I hope they never stop making Star Wars. I hope in 100 years some cocky kid comes and remakes it all from the beginning and its even better. The point of a meaningful story isn't that its perfect, its that it speaks to people and fills them with wonder. No generation, and no one studio can ever fully own star wars because its part of us. The adventures keep going in our heads. In our children's minds. In a thousand years I hope they are retelling and reinterpreting and remaking the whole damn thing. Ok maybe it wont last that long. But I hope it does.

Star Wars is not perfect art. It barely even rises to half decent cinema sometimes. But the magic that is there, when a kid goes outside for the first time and holds up his pretend light saber and doesn't fear the world any more, doesn't fear the future, doesn't fear his abusive alcoholic father, doesn't fear evil anymore, and doesn't fear himself, you can't take that away. The Force Lives.

Phantom Menace was the first star wars movie I saw, it was in the mid 2000's and I was about 8 or 9. (Reminder that if you make fun of 23 year olds, or anyone, for being kiddies, you're a pathetic, middle aged loser.)

I loved it and just rewatched it for the first time in forever. It holds up great, it was as fun as I remember it being. The opening sequence is badass, and the giant ship and hacking up droids is pure fun. The political shit is easy to follow now. As a kid I didn't totally grasp it, but that didn't matter and it made everything seem grounded and inportant since I knew it was over my head. Jake Lloyd's acting is perfect for the role. The podracing sequence is absolute kino and is exciting as hell. Jar jar binks is a funny, bumbling retard with a funny voice, of course I loved him as a kid, literally nothing wrong with him. I remember being so excited when lowly, silly, Jar Jar gets the gungans to join the Naboo surface dwellers in battle after they travel all the way to the senate and get no help. The giant battle on the field was great, the Gungan battle horn had me hyped as hell and the design of the animals they ride and those energy balls they fight with were brilliant and creative as hell. The ending is perfect, Duel of the Fates is a literal madterpiece and the editing is so good as that song plays while we shift between 3 or 4 different chase/battle sequences with the main characters. The Obi-wan/Qui-gon/Darth Maul lightsaber battle is so damn good. Dat break in the action when they're all seperated by that rotating laser thing and Darth Maul is pacing and Qui-Gonn takes a knee and meditates. Dat heart and pure rage when Obi Wan fights Darth Maul after he kills Qui Gon, I lost my shit when he finally sliced him in half and sent him tumbling down the shaft. Dat ominousness behind the cheery closing scene on Naboo where it seems everything is okay, but Palpatine just got control of the senate and DV is beginning Jedi training.

Like the Marvel movies they're made by commitee and also like the Marvel movies, nobody who gives a fuck about the source material is involved at any point in their production.

They're calculated ploys to extract money from nostalgic manchildren. At least the prequels targeted actual fucking kids.

Is Attack of the Clones forgettable to normies? I mean really, the way they hype up Revenge of the Sith is insane but Clones is so much worse not only to science fiction but to cinema as a whole. It just feels insulting.

I thought rogue one felt star warsie enough. And by that I mean the aesthetics and that lived in feeling to the world the OT had.
And I blame a lot of TFA's failings on the director because it felt like just another slick-but-shallow JJ movie.

>>81652842
you don't even know what Lucas had in mind for anakin before he started writing the prequels. The fact that the actor was originally an old dude proves that.

then stop pretending the new star wars are important too

>"of course"
why ?
It's the story of how anakin became darth vader, so we see anakin, that makes sense. Obiwan too since he was a good friend.
But the rest ? Absolutely no justification. Lucas could have made 3 very good movies with brand new characters, oh wait no he couldnt have, since he's a hack.

Wow, Ep7 really made me think. The original trilogy is better than the prequel trilogy, "muh pottery", heh heh, but Ep7 is better than the prequels, both rip off the originals so who cares?

>Initiate
I love the originals, and these characters seem archetypal in some way... I really like what Lucas tried to achieve in the prequel trilogy but the execution was poor. He had a team of yes men and sycophants, whereas in the original trilogy, he was the visionary and superior technical staff executed his vision. I liked Ep7.

>Enlightened
Lucas is a genius, the scale of his vision is breathtaking. The prequels and the original trilogy are no better or worse than the other conceptually. All six films are part of an epic ring cycle that draws its influence from epics ranging from the Icelandic Sagas to the Upanishads. He is clearly a deeply religious man, and his good friendship with Joseph Campbell obviously affected his work. He clearly understands Jung, and all six films are rich with occultist, psychological, and perennial symbolism. These characters are so iconic because they are archetypes, and they connect with people because they dwell in the collective unconscious. He has truly succeeded in writing an epic myth that defines the close of the millennium. Bravo. Oh, what was that? Episode 7? I torrented it a year after release. Stock consumerist sci-fi, I could barely make it half way through.

The prequels feel way more like soulless corporate shit than TFA or Rogue One though.

This is revisionist horseshit. Lucas was too lazy to figure out something the Jedi could wear to distinguish themselves so he just went with whatever Obi-Wan wore. If Tatooine were an ice planet instead of a desert planet, we'd have Jedi running around in parkas instead of desert clothes.

IMO they were cynical 20 somethings when the prequels came out and they didn't realize of how much silly, fun kiddie stuff was in the OT and then got butthurt because they grew up and then tried to watch the prequels as nitpicky nerds who treated Star Wars as Serious Business. In the plinkett review he talks out of one side of his mouth about all the nitpicky "plot holes" and stupid autistic shit that doesn't matter at all and shit on fun Jar Jar or Anakin or Darth Maul stuff, then go and say that kids obviously hated Phantom Menace because of the political intrigue. Actually, kids don't mind stuff like that because it makes them feel grown up and that they're watching an "adult movie", plus you didn't need to fully understand that stuff to enjoy the movies and get the overall plot of it.

With gen Xers like RLM it's a csse of pure nostalgia goggles and cynical nitpicky autist goggles.

And yeah, I dont get what is so complicated about this turn of events.

>>81653384
And the prequels weren't pandering rehash? The films are full of fan-service to the OT. Like Darth Vader just happened to build C3PO? Fucking seriously?

Or Bobba Fett's dad just happened to fight Obi-Wan, because fanboys went nuts over him in V for some reason.

Or R2-D2 being a super-bot with jetpacks and flamethrowers that are never shown in the OT.

The prequels are garbage, and have even worse fan-service than VII. Nothing is as bad as Rogue One though.

I was a kid and my parents weren't star wars fans or anything and I wanted to watch Star Wars, so I thought it was obvious that I should start with the DVD of Episode I and work my way up to VI. I didn't even know that IV though VI were made in the 70's, so I was a little confused when I started watching A New Hope, lol.

It's a testament to the OT that my young self could look past some of the dated stuff and the puppet aliens and enjoy the OT as much as the shiny new prequels with state of the art for the time CGI.

>>81653214
>we can assume his original idea of star wars would have been total shit
You dont really need to assume there is plenty of stuff out there about early drafts of the script and story, and splinter of the mind's eye was George's original idea for the sequel to ANH.
Lucas' strength have always been on the producer side of things, and being the idea man, but he needs other creative people he respects to flesh things out.
The biggest problem with the prequels was that he never should have written and directed them. But I guess he didn't have much choice since he was outside the director's guild.

>>81653459
(You) should tell me

>>81651597
Star wars is an overrated series that is actually rather shit but you people buy the merch so you overhype everything.

TFA is far, far better than any prequel film, and that is a fact.

Mace Windu isnt only a poor actor choice (we want the dindu audience), hes also at the head of the jedi order despite being an idiot, totallt oblivious to what sheev is doing
count dooku, pretty much the same, fuckwit who gets played by sheev's plan even though this very plan is obvious and idiotic
qui-gon is a jedi, somehow ? makes dumb decisions, cheats and lies, adds nothing to the story, is basically a bad version of OT obiwan
padme is in love with anakin, god knows why, at least we know bella loved edward because he was attractive and le mysterious xD, now you can tell me you have a man crush for hayden christensen, but padme was supposed to be a bit more deep of a character than fucking twilight main bitch

The whole point of the OT and PT is now moot, since oh Anakin didnt really fulfill the prophecy because he was saved by his sons mercy, instead we get an empire clone out of nowhere building an even bigger weapon than before without nobody noticing, and Leia actually being regarded as a warmongerer for the sake of having her lead a resistance again.

Look man, its like this.
As you said yourself, Lucas created some new characters. But there were still some characters from the OT whose backgrounds have never been explained.
The whole purpose of a prequel series is to show the background of the previous plot and their characters.
A sequel can include those characters aswell, sure, but a lot of anons are butthurt and righteously so, at Disney's treatment with the premise and the characters of the OT.
Rey giving more screentime during the mourning of Han than Chewie? Seriously?
Luke and Anakins whole purpose, the prophecy, all of it is now nill.
That is not the purpose of a sequel, a sequel shot start new things, not destroy established premises of its roots.

TFA: a black, a woman, a gay
RO: The Power Rangers, although even the Power Rangers didn't have the fucking balls to make a handicapped person a power ranger. nuWars is literally breathtaking in how ruthlessly and transparently calculated it is. The worst part is they're sort of getting away with it. Makes you fear for the future people have gotten this fucking dumb.

the absolute worst thing about the new disney sequel is not that it's shit. it's not that it's an unoriginal rehash that relies on nostalgia and fanservice. it's that the star wars "fans" will make any excuses for its very apparent flaws, unoriginality, terrible pacing, 0 character developement and all around poor storytelling for no other reason but to spite George Lucas.

The truth is that they are boring, forgettable films that are are barely beyond the threshold of mediocrity, but the "fans" of this franchise are so bitter, cynical, immature and cruel that they will continue to offer support for it and whatever other shit Disney is preparing to shovel down their throats regardless of poor quality or whether it render the OT pointless (which FA did)

George was right to sell it off and he's right to not bother with such an ungrateful, cuntish fanbase. Literally the worst fanbase a franchise has ever had in the history of all media.

I'd say its more like theyre different flavors of shit. Its not a zero sum game where theres a conservation of suck.

>>81654171
Is there really anyone that thinks any prequel film was better than TFA? They were garbage, and TFA was well made, albeit slightly derivative

If AotC wasn't one of the first films in history to go all digital in combination with it's 95% greenscreen act then this might be a valid argument. If it was made practical, with the sets and creatures being primarily real ala Episode 1, then it could easily be the best SW film on visuals alone. Unfortunately it's not the case, so it has and will continue to age more poorly than any other SW film.

Interesting tactic, disney shill. Let's see how it goes.

>>81654032

I don't know anon, the it aint me in space arc was the length of a feature film and even if you hadn't already seen other episodes introducing Fives and the other clones theres more than enough characterization to inform the viewer and get them invested.
God damn the umbara arc is based as fuck.
And once you get out of season one it gets pretty good consistently. They even manage to make jar jar almost close to bearable. Now THAT is a fucking achievement.

>>81654420
>SHILL! SHILL! SHILL!
you're almost as boring as the prequels lol

>>81654405
It has the least amount of any movie. They greatly increased the practical and hybrid stuff for RotS. The experimental nature of AotC being one of the first films to do what it did is admirable in pushing forward technology, but it is a terrible looking and incredibly dated film because of it.

>>81651121
OP it's basically a garbage writer trying to push the agenda that exists among Disney SW apologists, towards making Disney declare the prequels non-canon. With the ultimate goal being that once Disney declares the prequels non-canon, Disney will create a replacement trilogy of prequels, that pander to those who hate the prequels with such passion that they will eat any dogshit that Disney serves them.

>>81651121
>They didn't add anything
>All of the best games are prequel-centric, or prequel inspired
>the best star wars show is prequel centric
>the best music is from the prequels

I really liked the lightsaber battles in The Force Awakens, they felt like real actual fights instead of the stiff jerking of the originals and the shaolin twirly dances of the prequels (though they are a pleasure to watch too)

Also the new Star Wars use actual lightsaber replicas on set so we get a nice authentic natural glow illuminating the characters faces and surroundings - which we dont get in the originals and prequels

>>81654177
Yeah, except he did, or at least he tried. Lucas reached out to people to help with the prequels but nobody, even his friends like Spielberg, wanted to get involved in-depth with the prequels because of how devastating it would be to not pull it off so it would be better not to try and just let Lucas run the show. Lucas already knew that he needed the help of others, see TESB and ROTJ production. The issue here is that while Star Wars was up and coming before so everyone wanted to sign on to help in TESB and ROTJ, Star Wars was so dominant and the prequels so hyped that people were scared to attach their names in fear of it failing.

>>81654548
aww, I was hoping you were going to resort to screaming SHILL like an autist again.

you're straying from your playbook, anti-Disney DC shill.

>>81654337
>robot lands on desert planet, meets hero by chance
Except this time, it's pure chance that the hero encounters the robot. In OT the robots are seeking Kenobi, who's specifically watching Luke, which is why they all happen to end up in one corner of the vast fucking desert by chance.

I can do that for every plot point in FA, it's a bunch of callbacks barely stitched together by stupid JJ Abrams garbage. For fuck's sake, they do the telekinetic-pull-the-saber-from-the-snowbank scene from Empire in the climax. It'd be a shorter list to name all the good original ideas the movie had.

>>81654556
>All of the best games are prequel-centric, or prequel inspired
Only the pod racing game. TFU was tied more closely to the OT and old EU and sets up the rebellion.

I listen and respect people who know real film like Stuckman and RLM who aren't afraid to tell it how it is the prequels were unwarranted and an insult, these new ones although pandering and using some old story devices makes up for it by having a deep, rich, intricate and diverse universe and characters who share the previously mentioned traits.
Such as daisy Ridley who gives one of the penultimate roles in the 21st life

>>81654709
more because it was his baby and even when he wasn't as involved (ESB) he still wanted to take credit for it anyway.

plus no one knew what the fuck he was doing with all the digital stuff. That was ENTIRELY George's M.O.

Nobody could foresee what he was ultimately going for, which turned out to be a complete CGI shitfest

Lucas wasn't able to get a lot of those people because he would work with the writer's or director's guild.
Hes always hated the studio system and the guilds so tried to work around them. He's independently wealthy and owned his own studio so it wasn't a big deal for him to cut them out, but for other writers and directors it would have basically meant they'd never work in hollywood again without having to take it up the ass hard.
I mean not wanting to shit the bed didn't stop them from making kingdom of the crystal skull.

No. Im saying they're both awful and that if you weigh everything memes are the tie breaker.
And no, memes aren't a result of "Bad Filmmaking" (though they can be). If thats what you think then you don't know what a meme is, dhich genuinely wouldn't surprise me.
