Were the prequels necessary?

No.

Lucas has a childlike mind and needed the most simplistic way to show us that Anakin is a bad guy now. So he made him kill some kids and a bunch of helpless cartoon characters.

It also harms his redemption arc in RotJ because now we know he was a remorseless child murdering psychopath waiting for an excuse to go ballistic.

i feel there is something there. The idea that the Jedi have to adopt very young kids into their weird sexless cult does make Anakin's motivations clearer.

They should have implied the kids have no choice in the matter

Why did Padme stay with Anakin after he killed the Sand people?

Was this thread necessary?

There's a reason they started on episode 4, the back story was weak as fuck.

>In the name of Galactic Senate of the Republic, you are under arrest.

Uh...were they arresting Sheev in a flashback or something?

It explains what happened to the young Jedi padawans.

Well if you notice, they sort of picked a kid that looks like young Anakin. I think it was supposed to be about Anakin himself, and it was just a plot point. Killing kids does kind of stick out.

Why did he stay with him after he got a creepy skeletor hand?

It's both a test to determine whether Anakin really has the conviction to embrace the dark side and save his wife and to prevent them from growing up into possible threats.

It made little to no sense just like most of the prequels. They just wanted to show how bad and evil and mean and bad he was. Killing children didn't fit his arc or character at all. Such shitty movies, George Lucas is a cancer to humanity.

Because she agreed with his actions

Prequel shills will defend this scene.

>"Mastah skywalker there ah too many o' them"
>Anakin is reminded that the Jedi would't give him the rank of Jedi Master
kino

>uhh shit I only have about half a movie left to fit in my anakin's fall plot which was meant to be the whole point of the prequels
>let's have him kill some kids off-screen and then fight obi-wan

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! SAUCE

George is aspie as fuck and lacks an ability to understand emotional response. See: this scene or when Anakin talks about murdering sand people and Padme responds by telling him she loves him for the first time.

I think Lucas intended the Jedi order to feel creepy. He deliberately made the clone making scenes in aotc resemble the little kid training scenes. There's something surreal about the little kids with lightsabers all shooting at those floating balls.

It reminds me of some of the stuff in THX. Of course that movie was about a society that forces everyone to suppress their emotions.

I think Lucas was portraying his own 1950s childhood, criticizing the way kids were raised. The stuff about the Jedi council not making anakin a master reminded me of him being kicked out of the directors guild. Of course Lucas rebelled against his fathers dreams of him becoming a businessman. And in the end Lucas became a businessman. He wanted to rebel against the studio system, and he became the CEO of a studio system.

Nigga Lucas made it up as he went along. Some of his original ideas made it into phantom menace, but overall the idea he always has 6 films was nonsense. Sometimes he says it was 3 films, sometimes 9 films.

Thanks friend

>>82500135
you have to get rid of the future troublemakers, plus makes anakin look more evil, I liked it

I'm watching this shit on TNT now (DVR) and there was so much more potential here.

Why didn't Lucas just hire a writer and director to bring his ideas to life? He hates writing. He could've picked someone to make them look more like old movies than even he was able to (ROTS has lots of Douglas Sirk in it but Lucas doesn't know how to imitate that well, AOTC he wanted it to be like 40s film noir/ mystery)

I'm someone inclined to defend the guy more than most, and I HATE ((((Disney))))'s Fucking shit generic flavourless movies, but holy shit why didn't Lucas just let others do what he didn't do well?

It could've been so good. It could've been that wisecracking Robin Hood swashbuckling fun he intended. We couldn't have a real emotional arc that made sense and wasn't abrupt.
