    Rewatched recently. 1 is bad but entertaining, 2 is fricking awful, 3 is decent but could've been way better with better direction.

      I watched all of them as a kid. I grew up with waiting the prequels to release so I can chip in

      >The Phantom Menace
      we all knew it sucked but than again the hype was insane so even if it was any better I'd still be disappointing. also, for the first year no one wanted to admit it sucked balls. there was some cope with people lying ''on 2nd watch it gets better''. Nowadays I have a somewhat fond memories, I've soften to it because of nostalgia, nothing else. The hype was fun

      >AotC
      I liked it the best, but than again, I was a moronic kid. Now I can't stand it, it's so trash.
      People didn't like it but it had clone wars and people were saying ''well, the 3rd one will reedeem the series!''

      >3rd one (I genuinly can't remember the name of the movie except Ep III)
      People say these new movies killed SW to them, well this one did it for me. I see comments that it's the best one out of the prequels but... that's not saying much

                the room was functionally James's office where he worked.
                Maybe he should have rented an office space for his stuff to shoot his videos. Could probably get one for a decent price

    1 is decent. Jar jar is stupid but I love the droid/gungan battle and the underwater city. Podracing was ALWAYS kino. Darth maul and qui-gonn were neat

    2 is shit besides the jango/obi-wan scenes on the clone planet. Anakin/padme scenes are god awful. Collosseum fight really didnt age well. What else even happened in this movie? why did anakin take so long to remember his mother was on the slave planet?

    Ep III is good. Simply good. Anakin's motivations for turning to the dark side is moronic. Grievious and order 66(haha, I am NOT watching disney spinoffs) were rad. CGI didnt age well. 6.5/10

      Anakin, u the most powerful jedi? So, it means that u didnt deserve to frick Natalie Portman, because u cuck. U not the chosen one, because some homie said this, and gonna cry, pure boy? Oh no, Anakin turns to the dark side, its so moronic.

      Go have a nice day, amercian dumb Black person or watch OT garbage, if u cant understand simply motivation of teenager who just want to frick Portman and get some respect for his power.

          But it was taboo. and Yoda told him to break up with her.

          >Why did he think giving birth would kill her?
          because his vision had already come true once, when his mother died.

      You're fricking kidding, right?

      >the Phantom Menace is 99% pointless. All the characters are either non-existent or completely changed by Attack of the Clones. Any plotlines from the Phantom Menace cease to exist as well.
      >George Lucas has a lot of good ideas, but a lot of bad ideas too. With nobody around to tell him that his bad ideas are bad, the prequels became a massive disaster.
      >he also doesn't know how to write romance, which was incredibly cringey.
      >space politics. The Original Trilogy started with the rebel ship desperately trying to escape from a pursuing Star Destroyer. The prequels started with trade-agreement negotiations.
      >over-reliance on Green Screens and CGI make the Star Wars universe seem computerized and sterile
      >audience isn't motivated to care about the plot lines. The Clone Wars are nothing more than one group of unidentifiable and disposable computer people vs one group of unidentifiable and disposable computer robots. Who gives a shit if they die by the millions?
      >the relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin is terrible. In the original movie Obi Wan thinks of Anakin as "a good friend", and thinks fondly of the time they spent together before everything went wrong. You never see this in the prequels. They are always arguing and bickering with each other, and would always go their separate ways and go on their own adventure until the climax of the films.
      >Anakin was never "seduced by the dark side", he was kind of a megalomaniac psychopath the entire trilogy. You do not feel bad watching him burn at the end of Episode III because all he did for two movies (you can ignore the Phantom Menace since it winds up not mattering) was act like a serial killer.
      >damaging the lore and mythos of Star Wars. Yoda didn't need to fight with a lightsaber. The whole draw to his character was that despite his unassuming appearance, the force made him bigger and more powerful than the physical world.
      >Mid-chlorians in general

      Frick the prequels.

    Their strongest feature is that have lots of cool designs, worlds and introduced new lore. The dialogue, poor direction and over saturation of cgi bog them down.

    Nope, but George made so many mistakes that don't fit into the original movies (77, 80, 83), and that's the biggest problem with it
    If you like Andor series, you will like Episode I
    If you like Mandalorian series, you will like Episode 2
    And Episode 3 is the best of the 3 movies
    And one thing is for sure, they are 100% better than the shitty Disney sequels

    Yes. 1 and 2 have a good number of sections that drag, and a lot of the dialogue is worse than normal for George. That said, while the execution was shit, the overall story George was going for is good and compelling, and with decent people in the director's chair and fixing up his scripts, they could've easily been better than the OT.

    Why did Lucas take it so personally? He clearly didn't even try to make great films. they were basically just extended toy commercials. He had 30 years to work on the script if he wanted but Phantom Menace was a first draft rush job

      People were insulting his creation, and in part the old comics like Flash Gordon from the 1930's and 40's era from which he grew up from. Essentially people were insulting his childhood.
      He was the original soiboy who ruined cinema by adapting comic books to the silver screen.

    For the most part, yes. They have some redeeming qualities but then so does the sequel trilogy and many other shitty movies. I'm not so attached to Star Wars that I feel compelled to pretend they're good just because I like parts of them. Even ROTS is a mess.
