>prequels were pretty terrible, the new star wars movies are at least decent

The prequels had a decent story buried beneath a gigantic pile of garbage. The Disney movies are lack any kind of charm and are have fanfiction level plots. The new ones are technically better movies, but people who enjoy Star Wars are going to prefer the prequels.

>>82213739
new movies are not decent, they are the mediocrity shat out by corporate disney
its the most generic lowest common denominator appeasement with no legitimate story or acting involved, just the most by the numbers bullshit imaginable

rogue one was fucking awful and the cgi actors were fucking awful, and most the scenes were just designed for cameos/introductions with little plot
the acting in force awakens was awful so was line delivery, directing was good, but the script was shit and plot was shit and the writing was shit

that black guy was terrible at delivering lines, i could point you to like 20 other black actors who would have done better, fucking sounded like a redditor spewing out lines as fast as possible
and rey's character had no arc at all, more than half the scenes from force awakens could be removed and little would have changed

>>82213787

>>82213862
The fact that you compare the prequels to the holiday special proves that you have no idea what you are talking about. You are the kind of person who saw Star Wars once when you were a kid, bought a Star Wars video game and T-Shirt, and watched a YouTube review. You are not a fan, you a customer. People who are actual fans of the series universally hate the Disney films for destroying the EU.

>>82213787
The story was the worst part about the prequels.
They completely fucked up Anakin's backstory, the excitement of the clone wars, and everything about the empire taking control. When you heard Luke say "You fought in the Clone Wars?!" in A New Hope with such enthusiasm to Obi Wan you imagined that it was a, for a lack of better word, awesome event. What we eventually got was nothing of the sort.

>fanfiction level plots
TFA is a rehash of ANH plotwise, yes. Are you saying ANH is a "fanfiction level plots"?
Rogue One was actually written many years ago by one of the guys from ILM. It's a pretty interesting story, all things considered.

>but people who enjoy Star Wars are going to prefer the prequels.
People who genuinely enjoy Star Wars want to see good movies made within that universe. The new Disney movies have been just that.

>>82213987
The EU was uninspired trash and you know it
After all, the holiday special is part of the EU

>>82213739
fpbp

tfa is just a rip off of the original films. fucking seriously? the amount of hate this movie doesn't get is astounding. i guess in the age of capeshit i shouldn't be too surprised

at least the prequels were original and had a good overarching story. where the prequels fucked up the most was in the details and the absence of practical effects. i'm really not interested in grading a star wars movie for its acting

>>82214002
>good movies made within that universe. The new Disney movies have been just that.
You think TFA is a good movie?

>>82213941
Highlight would be duel of the fates fight scene. Also that opening scene was amazing especially opening day in theaters seeing all the new jedi tricks like door melting and super speed.

Also I excuse and tolerate Jarjar because he serves a legitimate narrative purpose i.e. He's supposed to be annoying

>>82214002
>Are you saying ANH is a "fanfiction level plots"?
Rewriting ANH with a mary-sue original character donut steal is a fanfiction plot yes.
>>82214025

it's clear you didn't get it and it went over your head. maybe that was the problem. the star schwartz fan base are mostly dumb subhumans who can't into subtlety

>>82214060
I'll admit the score when Qui Gon is melting that door is amazing. For me that's the best part of that movie.

>>82213701

I think they're both on par. Prequels are more (unintentionally) funny and original, new ones are pretty to look at. Both are mediocre. Kylo Ren is the only interesting character in the new movies.

>>82214086
>guy hating on Star Wars for taking a new direction pretending to be a real fan

You're right, I applaud the bold, artistic direction Disney is taking Star Wars through.

Obi-Wan. His character was so cool in the first movie that they copied his look for all of the other jedi.

>>82214205

That's doing something

>>82213701
At least the prequels gave us a bunch of new stuff like the Seperatist ships and soldiers. The new movies are just treading old ground.

>>82213701
3 > 7 > 1 > R1 > 2

>>82213701
Both are equally bad. The prequels had horrid dialogue, special effects, and cinematography with plot inconsistencies with the OT and the most stale acting you could get and although Star Wars isn't known for its acting the prequels take it to a whole new level. The sequels while competently made on a technical level is absolutely soulless and unimaginative plot wise you could compare it to avatar although I'd argue avatar was at least immersive as sci fi movie as what sci fi movies should do so I think total recall or robocop would be a more fair comparison. As to which is better well I guess that depends on wheather you value story or technical aspects of a movie more.

>>82214150
It's gotta be Kylo Ren
Don't judge my tastes too hard, I'm an edgy angsty man child

Prequels have better world building, which is a huge part of what Star Wars is all about for me.

Prequels.
>why
Because there's only three. The new shit is going to last FOREVER. It also removed the EU.

>>82214315
At the end of the day, the prequels and the Disney movies suffer from the same fatal flaw; using impressive visuals to cover up a mediocre movie. The problem is, impressive visuals become dated very quickly. We can all see how bad the prequels look now, even though they looked good when the movies came out.

>>82214486
>It also removed the EU.
I thought you were listing cons about the new ones, not pros.

>>82214523

It just means we do the same dance all over again but this time instead of being over in 10 years it never ends.

From a creativity standpoint the new movies are pretty bad. But if you compare watchability, the prequels were awful.

I like both the prequels and the sequels. It's really hard to say which is better or worse, although I think the prequels edge out the sequels. It's probably more constructive to talk about them individually.

If I were to rank them, it'd probably go Revenge of the Sith > The Phantom Menace > The Force Awakens > POWER GAP > Attack of the Clones > MAJOR POWER GAP > Rogue One.

The first three are really close, and you could really mix them around any way and it'd still work. These movies are, by no means, perfect (then again, none of the Star Wars films are perfect). They each have their flaws. But, overall, they're highly enjoyable movies. I tend to place RotS and TPM before TFA because I feel like those two movies have more memorable, fun moments to them, but they're all good.

Next you have Attack of the Clones. Attack of the Clones has a lot of bad in it, there's a lot of drawn out boring sections of the movie that drag it down. However, Clones does have some things that are really good that redeem it and make it somewhat enjoyable. Overall, it's pretty good.

At the bottom, you have Rogue One. Now, I don't hate Rogue One, but there's just very, very little good in the movie, and what it has going for it doesn't redeem it. I feel like they didn't know what they were trying to make with this one, and it's such a big misstep that it actually makes me cautious for the future of the sequels. Stuff like the two Cantina guys appearing and saying the exact same lines they do in the first one was way worse than anything from the prequels, including Jar Jar. Again, I don't hate Rogue One, but I didn't enjoy watching it and will probably never watch it again. No hate, just gonna avoid seeing it and thinking about it. Because it's bad.

>>82213919
They're to shit out more and more bland shit and depreciate it's value.

>>82215013
Because they don't want to dig through the decades of lore to give fans a look at some established aliens that have never appeared on the big screen. There's a treasure trove of species, planets, ships, and characters out there in the EU, but they're going to do their best to avoid working a single one in out of spite.

>>82214799

The EU had some cool things in it despite all the stupid things. I'm more worried about it ending up identical t the old EU but with none of the redeeming qualities.

Star Wars is no longer space opera, its lost the core element that made it great in the first place. Star Wars should be an over the top battle between good and evil, Force Awakens was an underwhelming mishmash of weak heroes and laughable villians.

That's bullshit. Tfa brought absolutely nothing to the star wars universe other than the shitting on of all our legacy heroes accomplishments. R1 had way better world building and actually added to the lore of the series instead of blatantly ripping off another older movie.

>>82213701
Prequels have far better (memorable) music, some originality and great entertainment value. Objectively terrible, but you can make a great case they are "so bad it's good".

New shit is completely devoid of originality, the score is just rehashed OT shit. Effects and shit are better, in most ways they are objectively better. However they just don't have any personality, can't see myself ever rewatching them.

Prequels i can at least see myself "ironically" rewatching.

>>82213787
Agreed. At least I can remember the stories and characters of the prequel movies even though I haven't watched them in years. At least the worlds and technology had cool and unique designs. At least we got some fantastic vidya based on material introduced by the prequels.

The new trilogy doesn't add anything new. It's derivative rather than creative. It has generated 0 amazing video games so far. The new worlds are dull and forgettable. They feel like they were built from the same procedural engine that generates the Star Trek and Marvel movies.

>>82213701

The Prequels are infinitely better than the fucking garbage that is TFA.

>>82215388
They're not going to do the race mixing plotline they want so bad for the simple reason that it will hurt the Chinese box office performance. As much as Jews love deenracy they love money more. For the same reason, the gay subplot in the upcoming movies is going to be very low key and easy to remove from the movie with no impact to the story, because it's going to be cut out in Russia and a few other markets.

I think you're judging these movies on different criteria then I am. I don't think "world building" or "lore" is all that important. I think stuff like Wookieepedia is kind of dumb. That said, if that's something you like, then that's good for you. For me, I don't really want to watch a film that's some wiki article, I want to watch something that's actually enjoyable and fun with characters that are interesting doing things that are interesting in a plot that makes sense and Rogue One really didn't have that for me.

But again, not trying to shit on you or your favorite. Like what you like.

I feel like, after The Force Awakens didn't do well in China, they really tried to cater to China with Rogue One, and now that that also didn't do well in China, they've kind of given up on the Chinese box office for the most part. Or, at least they should. These movies are doing well without drawing in the Chinese crowds.

At any rate, I've seen articles stating there will be an interracial romance in this one, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

>>82215464
They don't have the chutzpah to do that with their new 4 billion dollar IP. Though I would bet when the films start to depreciate and generally make less money they will shoehorn the miscegenation and gay romance back in.

>>82215590
Yeah probably because your brain is small. You just like seeing funny ships and lensflare all over the place. Funny you mention plot because I can't even count how many plot holes were in tfa not to mention barely any logical character development.

Elderfag, here.

I saw the original trilogy in theaters when they came out. And let me tell you, there's no better age to experience The Empire Strikes Back than when you're ten years old and nothing's been spoiled for you, yet.

Return of the Jedi was a bit of a letdown even then, but that's another story for another time.

Fast-forward to 1997. I go to see the Special Editions, because why not? People just kind of stopped caring about the SW universe after 1983, because George hung up his flannel shirt and no one ever expected there to be another Star Wars film after that.

But now, there was buzz. The prequels had been announced, and there was a reason to feel like a kid again. 1999 finally arrived...buzz was HUGE. And we got...a fucking kid, a fucked-up Yoda puppet, and that Meesa guy. Fuck.

So hopes were high that Attack of the Clones would right the ship. Nope, we got some generic Gladiator in Space movie with the most hamfisted attempt to recapture that Han-Leia "We say we hate each other but we really love each other" dynamic, but failing miserably. Entirely forgettable movie. But I guess we saw Yoda with a lightsaber, so there's that--ahh, fuck what am I saying? That was ridiculous.

Finally, Revenge of the Sith. The film opens with a pointless battle where both sides are controlled by the same guy. You couldn't give less of a shit who wins. Then you've got some wheezing insect-robot with a cartoonishly-evil voice who's supposed to be intimidating, but comes off as a comical buffoon. So scary.

The final payoff of Anakin vs. Obi-Wan wasn't half bad. Same for Sheev vs. Yoda. But they couldn't erase the overall stink generated by what came before.

>>82215739

Just because your Jewish overlords castrated you already doesn't mean you can ask others to do it to themselves.

The Force Awakens is unironically the worst Star Wars movie thus far.

>>82217422
I agree, Empire is the worst and for idiots who think Star Wars is a work of art.

Hold the fuck on, one 10 second fan service clip is worse than the ~30 minutes of screen time that Jar Jar gets in the Phantok Menace?

>>82213701
Prequels are worse, anyone who objects is either
a) Under 20 and is wearing some super heavy nostalgia goggles
b) Contrarian with no real opinions
c) A faggot-retard
d) A combination of two or more of the above

Prequels are more interesting conceptually but badly executed. The new ones are mediocre in concept but far better made.

The prequels are better but jyn is really hot

>Prequels are more interesting conceptually but badly executed

You just say that because other pretentious douchebags told you to think that. They're actually really good.

>>82213701
The JJ Abrams is raping my childhood. George Lucas is a misunderstood genius and as BvS taught us people fear what they don't understand.

>>82223314
>They're actually really good.

You have legitimate issues if you truly think this.

>>82223399

You can't deny it's good entertainment. Movies are about entertainment, they don't have to be some avant-garde bullshit to be considered "good." People forgot what "good" means.

Ep 3 > TFA > everything else.


This is a fact.

>>82223471
This guy gets it.

The prequels are good in terms of being entertaining for the most part, outside a few boring parts where they're just talking. The Phantom Menace is incredibly comfortable, and I say this as a guy who hated TPM when it came out and has zero nostalgia for it.

If you're looking for "art" or something "deep" in a Star Wars movie, you're a clown.

The prequels were better films. Currently the two movies have not produced anything worthwhile in terms of setting, story or character.

>>82213739

I was born in 89 and the prequels at least were made by someone who actually loved his own world. Far from perfect, alot of terrible plot ideas and characters, but atleast it was made with "love" by Lucas.

The new movies are literally a soulless cashcow with the worst possible progressive political messages and I dont mean the black/gay think, which is actually a fresh spin. Im talking about the Mary Sue feminist cunt.

>>82223471

>You can't deny it's good entertainment.
i can because it's not

>they don't have to be some avant-garde bullshit to be considered "good."
you're right. a film like die hard is good.

>People forgot what "good" means.

>having to radically redefine definitions of "good" and "bad" in order to make the prequels seem "good".

>>82225279

>having to radically redefine definitions of "good" and "bad" in order to make the prequels seem "good".

>"thinking" that an opinion regarding entetainment/art is a dogmatic fact, which cannot be disputed

Was it autism?

The new movies.

They only rehash and redo.

The prequels, at least, attempted a new story -- even if it was backstory.

>>82215032
Yeah, this is mine if you swap 5 and 6. I was pleasantly surprised by rogue one, just the music was god awful.

>>82214832
Although it was a man who made the flaw and another used the exploitation.

The prequels are shit due to poor character development, bad dialogue, awful special effects in II and III and not feeling like Star Wars.

TFA's biggest problem is that it was derivative.

If you disagree you're literally just memeing.

>>82226331

Id rather watch episode 1 on repeat for 2 days, than ever see Rey's "acting" again.

>>82213701
Well TFA was the best, but ROTS was better than Rogue One

>>82213701
The Force Awakens is better than the prequels, Rogue One is worse.

The sequels had a soul. George Lucas could have sat on his money for all his life and be fine, but he aspired to make something. He fucked up a lot of things (greenscreen, wooden acting, occasional nonsensical character motivation) but at least it came from a genuine creative spark. Anakin being a kid who works on podracers is as much part of his oeuvre as The kids in American Graffiti working on their cars.

Meanwhile the prequels are better made but they're also corporate shit. It's just a New Hope but worse, or it's just Saving Private Ryan with lasers.
I doubt JJ Abrams has an original bone in his body, since his career achievements include making Wrath of Khan and ET again but shitttier.
Dollop on top of that a Mary Sue, hamfisted political allegory, and fan service that will age like cheese, and you've got a pretty horrible (if technically competent) movie.

>>82213701
The Prequels are better than the new ones.

Star Wars 7 was just a rip off of A New Hope with a Mary Sue and Rogue One was boring with a handful of interesting scenes.

The prequels, for all their faults, are at least entertaining and gave us something new, rather than DUDE ANOTHER DEATH STAR BUT THIS TIME IT IS A PLANET LMAO GIRLS ARE STRONK GET OVER IT

>>82213701

The prequels are far, far worse. Every defense of the prequels I see involves lore arguments and 'lol original', but those things do not make a good movie.

>>82227818
you're right, they're not good. But they're better than nu-wars because they haven't even got originality going for them.

>>82213701
Prequels are much better, even with the cheesiness. The only watchable portion from the new movies is when Darth Vader murders that group of rebels.

>>82227781
Yes, Disney shills would totally say that Rogue One sucks.

>>82227932

You "suck" at your job shill.

Both TFA and R1 work better as movies than the prequels. Both structure-wise and technical-wise.

I'm not shilling/trolling, since I only sort of liked TFA and R1 was a humongous wasted opportunity in my opinion, but I wonder how many people have actually seen the prequels recently. I can understand if Revenge of the Sith is the point of reference since it's a competent movie, but putting I and II in the same league or LOWER than TFA and R1 is just fucking wrong. Seeing all 4 movies back to back and thinking: "Yeah, I and II were definitely worth my time and TFA and R1 were not" is impossible for someone that's seen more than 12 movies in his life.

Hello, reddit.

>>82228418
Rogue One wasn't really about the characters though that's why she's a "passive protagonist", It was about the first hope of the rebellion, stealing teh plans, etc. She's not a mary sue that controls everything immediately, she reacts to a harsh world and does the best she can like any normal person, it's more realistic, regardless not being that good of a movie overall. I liked both slicks but think think guy guy missed the point a bit, interesting vid though.

>>82213941
Despite being pretty boring, parts of it were at least memorable. I don't remember anything about TFA.

>>82228760
Nice try disney shill.

Rogue one is hands down the worst movie in all the 8 movies released so far

>>82213701
Just because the prequels are trash doesn't mean that the new movies aren't also trash. Rogue One was boring. TFA was crappy as a sequel to the original trilogy and crappy as a standalone film. 1 and 2 were absolute garbage, and 3 was OK despite the overarching sense of retardation. I don't get why you guys argue about which bad movie is worse.

There's a video where Mark Hamill himself kind of trashes the new movies, so don't tell me those movies are so great.

>>82223471
No they aren't, also I don't think you know what avant garde means. The fact that those are how you categorize movies shows how much you don't know.

You all are aware that now SW will be released in 100 years in some form, literally ,your grandchildren will fight among some reboot of a reboot on some space forum.
We will literally have better tech than in a movie and Disney will still slice sequels every 2-3 years

The prequels have rewatch value, some cool ideas, memorable lines and a good villain. The new films have literally none of that. In 10 years time no one will even remember them

>>82213701
New ones are mediocre (TFA) to shit (Rogue One), but the prequels are some of the worst movies ever made.

>>82215464
>the gay subplot in the upcoming movies is going to be very low key and easy to remove from the movie with no impact to the story, because it's going to be cut out in Russia and a few other markets.
Why? Russia's the gayest country in Europe and has been since the Middle Ages. In the 18th century Russian nobles held balls for drag queens. Now it's straight?
