yes they were, Lucas made a few mistakes here and there throughout the prequels but overall they were really good. Episode III especially was a masterpiece.

Lucas is so hit and miss I can't even tell if they were kino or shit

Episode I - 5/10

Episode III - 10/10

Revenge of the Sith is alright. TPM can be good occasionally.

If you like Attack of the Clones you have brain damage.

All of the Star Wars movies were mediocre at best.

RoTS is the only one that isn't utter shit. Its still a bad film.

Even if the story and writing was a mess, at least George was creative.

>>84211766
Because the romance is 75% of the movie?
It's easy forget until you actually watch the movie, that it's mostly unbearably long scenes between a creepy asshole and an uncomfortable Natalie Portman.
It doesn't make sense as a love story because she's vocally creeeped out by Anakin.

Lucas clearly has no idea what he's doing, which is evident from him bitching about how the best film in the saga wasn't good.

>>84210520
They were not great, they were average at the time they came out and still are. Unfortunately the story is rushed, non coherent and could have been made better. Anakin has shitty character building and we have no sympathy for him and that's why the prequels failed since they were supposed to show Anaking as a tragic hero and his fall to the dark side. Concerning diplomacy in galaxy and other relations it was an ok addition I guess, expanding the universe is not a bad thing if done in correct amount.
Art, world building, design of vehicles, droids is great and is never awkward, it felt like part of SW from the beginning (seeing the progression from prequel to OT vehicles/starships was also a great addition). There was much thought put into prequels concerning art and story. Unfortunately Lucas focused too much on CGI which somewhere was great and mostly was a lackluster, he didn't manage to achieve what the OT achieved with it's special effects. Also let's not forget when ep I was coming out that there were shitload of toys and star wars related items so it was obvious Lucas went more for a cash grab.
For me the clone wars cgi cartoon redeemed the Anakin story and put more background to characters/relations which the movies lacked or showed very superficially just for the sake of being there.
I liked TPM since it was new, but if looking at the 3 eps as whole, tpm doesn't fit in, so either it should have been skipped or ep2 and ep3 should have been made completely different.

>>84212022
Bro, why didn't they just keep running with the fact that Anakin was creepy/scared her. It shouldn't have been a love story.

>high bar set by the original star wars movies
The original movies are mediocre to good.

Quit putting Star Wars on such a high pedestal and you'll enjoy your garbage more.

>>84213139
Because Anakin had to eventually have Luke and Leia, and having Anakin rape Padme wouldn't fly.

Plus, it's pretty clear in the movie that when she says he makes her feel "uncomfortable" she means dripping wet.

As an adolescent I liked the prequel more. The battles where more intense. The world building was fenomenal. (Kamino, coruscant, the fight with grevious ).

And now rip star wars got bought up by Jews and made into a faggots indoctrination machine with 0 original though.

This thread better be intentional bait.......

Have you ever considered that the prequels would be utterly forgotten if they weren't linked to the the original star wars classics?
Also watch the plinkett reviews.

Attack of the Clones isn't good in any right, it's a legitimately terrible film. The writing is cringeworthy, the acting is wooden, there are long stretches of nothingness and the once cutting edge special effects now look laughable.

>>84213610
I disagree. If they weren't linked to the original Star Wars movies, if there hadn't been such impossibly high standards placed upon the prequels, the prequels would have been much more beloved and much more popular. The original trilogy was placed on such a high pedestal by just about everyone before the prequels came out, the hype was so strong, that literally nothing George Lucas could make would have satisfied the public at large.

And furthermore, if the prequels hadn't deflated all the hype around Star Wars and tempered people's expectations of the series, I guarantee The Force Awakens would have been just as hated, if not more so, than The Phantom Menace. If the prequels had never happened, I guarantee people would be saying JJ Abrams "ruined their childhood" and they'd be wishing Lucas had control of the series again. Guaranteed.

>>84210520
Episode III is the only prequel that could be called "good". The writing is terrible but it's very entertaining. I and II have terrible writing and are boring.

>>84213792
That theory is as worthy as my own, but of course we will never know.
I will maintain that the force awakens had it have been the sole successor to the originals would have gone over well with the original fans, because it looks and more importantly feels the same.
It even has the banter and fun characters that the originals had. Rogue one had the look but not necessarily the feel of the originals and would have been a disappointment had it have been the direct sequel to the originals.
To be honest star wars in general, although still enjoyable, is limited in scope unless you really divorce the current filmography. The old republic is a prime target for a truly new franchise entry, then we can see if star wars as a universe will ever stand up film wise.

Good things about the prequels

Bad
>all of the dialogue and most of the actors and plot. The plot isn't a complete disaster but anyone other than Lucas could have made it better instantly
>the direction
>the CGI
>the mismatched tones of 1 (dry and vague political drama and slapstick) and 2 (bad romance story for 90 minutes before an overwhelming endless war for the final third)
>Anakin's arc is good in theory but doesn't work at all. The relationship with Padme is even worse

All the stuff at the peripherals is good but the actual meat of the film isn't remotely.

Try again, and apply yourself next time.

The correct order is:
V > IV > VI > III > I > II

I suppose I'd also be willing to accept
V > IV > III > VI > I > II

They could have been way better but they were still good and by all means better than The Force Awakens. My favorite was The Phantom Menace although I doubt I'd still enjoy it watching it again as an adult. But as a 6 year old I was totally hooked.
Also this trilogy spawned a fuck ton of videogames and toys and that's a good thing, these movies are supposed to be good old fashioned fun for children and maybe teens. Can't say the same about Disney Star Wars, the only videogame about it is EA's Battlefront 2 and maybe the Lego one.

Empire at the very least had some decent direction, and the actors in the original trilogy were pretty well cast, most obvious being Harrison Ford, who was charismatic as fuck as Han.

>>84213792
>that literally nothing George Lucas could make would have satisfied the public at large.
The Force Awakens satisfied the public at large. All George had to do was make something that was at least competent, but george being george, he failed at writing a screenplay, and directing his actors. The trilogy was doomed with Lucas at the helm.

Only 50 years have passed, and we're talking about starships! most of those older ships would still be in service 50 years later, so the ships in the prequels need to look exactly like the ships in the originals, or else everyone will wonder where all the new ships they saw in the prequels went!
