How is Darth Maul the best character in Star Wars when he's onscreen for like a grand total of 5 minutes and says basically nothing?
You were saying?
Just good designs. Lucas has an eye for design, but can't write for shit. All the best Star Wars stuff was just based on their designs. The characters all actually suck. Maul and Fett both got ruined as soon as they wrote stories for them.
Jango Fett has amazing lore & has always been cooler than Boba. Bounty Hunter the game for ps2 was one of the best games ever
Missed a trick with Darth Maul vs Boba Fett happening somehow.
I'm sure they fricked in the clone wars
it was going to happen in that Han Solo sequel that never was.
FRICK! Why not open with that?
I'm saying "hot, hot HOT AAAAAAAAAA"
Jobbed.
A cool design, a cool sword, and being played an excellent stuntman can go a long way.
Pure Kino I love all six movies.
Apparently he was supposed to be the main villain of a Lucas sequel trilogy. But I can't see him as a threat because he didn't seem that powerful in the force in both EU and canon. He got ragdolled by Sidious and one spotted by Ben Kenobi btw.
I always liked the eerie dissonance between his appearance and his completely normal, even refined voice in TPM.
>Darth Maul the best character
Pure bleddit
>le scary guy with black/red face paint and horns
>IS THAT A DOUBLE LIGHT SABER?
>oh nos he kill muh quigon neeson
>How is Darth Maul the best character in Star Wars
He's not, you're just a simpleton.
I never saw appeal of Darth Maul. Never saw his design cool.
Count Dooku, Jango Fett, General Grievous were much better villains in Prequels
I'm watching fall guy instead of this garbage
Enough with this shit. Noone gives a frick besides 50+ old manchildren
The film was made for kids who are now adults in their mid 30s, stupid zoomer
No, it was made to make nostalgia bucks and sell toys.
for millennials when they were kids, not 50+ year olds today. 50+ grew up with the originals
anyone born before 95 grew up with the originals
I was born in 89 and I grew up with the originals but they were made for kids older than myself
yeah i'm aware kids in the 70s and kids in the 90s were very different, hence the fart jokes in phantom menace. but it still holds that kids born between trilogies grew up watching all the 60s-80s kino and were more influenced by their cultural norms. i was born in 91 and had seen the ot a million times by the time of the initial announcement of the prequels in 96/97 with the special editions, and then only moreso when the films released. if anything i'd say i grew up on the special editions more than i did growing up on that laserdisc set from 93.
I watched the special editions in theater but still continued to watch the original non special editions on VHS my parents had
i had taped versions of the originals before the special editions came out, the only reason i discarded them was so i didn't have to fast forward through the commercials
Yeah our new hope VHS (just called star wars at the time) got busted up so I had to supplement our trilogy with a recorded one
I "grew up around" the OT, I watched part of them on TV and was aware of its huge popularity, but I didn't exist when everyone was guessing how the trilogy would end. The PT was my generation's Star Wars, love them or hate them
This was specifically designed to make the entire millennial generation addicted to buying plastic garbage and it worked.
None of the designs in episode one make cool toys though. Everything looks like shit except the ship with the busted hyperdrive.
And yet it catapulted star wars into being one of the franchises with the highest global toy sales.
Millennials are fricked in the head.
>Millennials are fricked in the head.
Or maybe you are.
>None of the designs in episode one make cool toys though
True, Darth Maul and his double lightsaber were the only thing people talked about and bought toys of. Nobody wanted baby anakin, baby obiwan or some queen woman who changes clothes every scene.
I wanted Naboo starfighter and podracer toys so bad back then
> some queen woman who changes clothes every scene.
Did they try to capitalize on this with a doll? It would be the first time a sci-fi franchise tried it.
wouldn't*
>exclusive look at disneyslop
No one cares. We're here for podracing, Qui-Gon, Watto, droideka, Maul, battle droid invasion kino.
I the last movie I saw in theaters was Episode I in 3D. I had seen it all too many times and the thrill was gone. the amount of chemicals that 9 year old me was exposed to when I saw it in '99 ruined me for life. ATOC was good, but it didn't reach that level. by the time ROTS rolled out I was a jaded man. they want to pay $30 to see it with a bunch Yidsney aids sprinkled on it then frick em.
>now with even more added CGI slop
nah thanks I still have the prequels on my movie HDD but apart from the podracing scene, the darth maul scene (which sadly also includes the shitty spaceship battle) and maybe the fight between anakin and obi-wan I'm not planning on re-watching any of this garbage, ever
I also rewatch multiple scenes from movies I supposedly hate
A few good scenes doesn't make 3 movies great. Dual of the Fates is an amazing track though and the podracing stuff is also kino. The rest can still be shit. Because the movies aren't that big in size I just keep them but for example in case of Lucy (2014) I cut out the part with ScarJo where she shoots the guys in the hallway but deleted the rest of the movie.
Awaking destroying the Droid control ship by accident is so cringe. Ugh.
hey now i've been a staunch defender of the last airbender since it came out
not because i like the movie in particular (it's ok at best) but because i know it triggers atla fans who are homosexuals in the first place
i also initially didn't care for dune when i first watched it but it grew on me later
i am refuting this because disney wars exists and automatically elevated the prequels to a higher plane
the tit milk was the only joke in that movie that actually worked
>The PT babies need the ST to justify liking their shitty movies
i never said the prequels were perfect or without fault, there's plenty of changes i would personally make to them. it's just a simple fact that disney star wars is even worse and by default that puts the prequels on a higher pole position
i enjoyed the idea of puppet yoda again but they de-aged him way too much for phantom menace, lucas was right to swap out for cgi to keep him more in line with 2 and 3
>i am refuting this because disney wars exists and automatically elevated the prequels to a higher plane
Jesus how fricking moronic can you be
The sequels were bad because the prequels were bad
and how moronic can you be that you can't read? the prequels have their problems but the sequels are much worse and by default that makes the prequels better.
>i've been a staunch defender of the last airbender since it came out
You being moronic since the beginning doesn't make the contrarianism nonsense any better.
good reading comprehension, way to take that bit out of context, moron.
i'd like to see you write a six film saga. idk what it is lately but especially in regards to the fallout series i keep seeing morons say how the writing is awful. and yet without any effort i can tell that none of these people have ever attempted to write their own films or shows. now you can make an argument that lucas has more of the paperback novelist typeset about him and that doesn't necessarily translate well to the screenplay format, but that also doesn't really matter when the jolted dialogue still ends up working out and people are quoting it word for word almost 50 years later.
>Making that argument concedes the whole property is shitty/played out and you have to gage individual movies by internally comparing them to one another.
george said it himself that star wars was the most expensive low budget film ever made. it's always had an intentional cheap feel to it, what he made up for lacking in budget he provided with story, spectacle and editing. so besides the fact that you clearly have no idea what you're talking about and have a fundamental misunderstanding of the moviemaking process at large, is there anything else you'd like to say before i simply call you a moronic Black person and ignore your further replies?
>good reading comprehension, way to take that bit out of context
No you, moron. Way to tell on yourself, lol.
>it's meant to feel low budget
>it has spectacle
Holy shit you're a moron. I know prequelgays are morons gleefully amused by poorly written pseudo-kids movies but frick. Lol
ironic you calling me stupid when you don't even watch movies or research bts
Ironic you used the word "ironic" incorrectly while trying to insult someone else's intelligence (for not watching enough movies, lol)
this is a board about film and television, if you don't partake in the hobby then don't post here, simple as.
Who said anything about not watching movies, homosexual? The problem is you're a prequelgay who misuses terms in an attempt to intellectualize shitty movies that didn't even know who their audience was (besides morons of course).
>didn't know who their audience was
>you misuse terms
lol
lmao
Keep crying, homosexual. It's not going to change the fact you've outed yourself as a moron multiple times ITT (i.e. gone over and above being a prequelgay lol)
Frick you, Episode 1 was always good, while Dune and The Last Airbender were always trash.
It's literally the opposite of what you said philistine.
I've been in love with episode 1 since the day I saw it.
This but unironically.
The main problem with Dune 1984 is that it doesn't make sense.
Once you watch Dunc and know the basic beats of the plot it becomes way more enjoyable.
When Episode I came out (and next two as well) I really enjoyed them, while the new Disney fake SW's are just unwatchable.
Episode 1 is the only decent SW movie.
That's including the OG trilogy.
Ep2 has the best music.
Somehow dogshit has returned.
>kino
lol
This is how comedic relief is supposed to be done though, with a ridiculous character, not the main hero from the previous trilogy.
How tf do you read a man raised as a farmer for most of his life doing the simple task of milking a cow being intended for "comedic relief"?
The alien makes orgasmic sounds and Luke does a disgusted face. Also, he was a moisture farmer, not a livestock one.
I am guilty of this
We waited about 4 years since the sequels came out to see what Luke was doing, and 2 of those years hanging off the cliffhanger of that final scene from Episode 7.
And the first thing we see Luke do is tarzan jumping and drinking tiddy milk.
Good effect on target Rian. Fan level of seething 10/10.
In retrospect who honestly gives a shit. I now understand why boomers were so buttblasted by Jar Jar in 1999 because of shattered expectations. Same shit happened when millennials saw the sequel trilogy.
But at the end of the day Phantom Menace is still way better than any of the sequels. Its far more narratively coherent as a start to an envisioned trilogy that actually accomplishes what it was set out to do. It takes risks and goes out on limbs to expand the universe in ways the OT never did. Its art direction is unique enough from the OT but familiar enough to feel the same universe. They pushed the boundaries with technology and defined a new generation of special effects. The sequels do none of that and even without catastrophic director infighting between movies the sequels are completely cloistered by its obsession with nostalgia pandering for the OT to the point where it has absolutely no identity. Its absolutely clear no one involved had any true vision for the grandeur of Star Wars and passing it into new uncharted territory.
Say what you want about Phantom Menace because its a very flawed movie, but it defined half of what we consider to be Star Wars to this day.
Luke Skywalker has always been a warm raw milk connoisseur. Pasteurized babby plebs wouldn't understand
one of the few parts they got right
>it's ok to make fun of Rey, Finn, Poe, Kylo and Hux
>but nooooooo not my Lukerino!!!!!
Saw this at the store yesterday. Not sure what its supposed to be referencing.
I bought a bottle and it’s just vanilla flavored but it’s tasty, might make a milkshake with it.
The milk scene is a israeli hate joke against white people.
Jews are lactose intolerant, and they used the fact that whites drink milk to make white hero seem pathetic or disgusting.
>me when I see anime booba
Star Wars was ruined when homosexual lucas made the prequels. There is no refuting this.
I am sexually attracted to Jar Jar Binks.
What's the preferred watch order for Star Wars? Narratively chronological or release order? Blurays or DVDs? Remasters, remastered remasters, or original 360p versions of 4, 5 and 6 and 480p DVDs for 1,2 and 3?
Release order obviously, shouldn't even need to be said.
Unfortunately it's hard to find versions of the original trilogy that haven't been fricked with by Lucas. You have to go all the way back to the original VHS releases. I think there are people who have tried to make their own cuts based on the original versions, though usually those types of things are made by homosexuals who demand you send them proof you've paid for the movies before they send you their cuts, they don't just make them public.
The rest don't matter, you can just do the modern versions. Episode 1 re-releases replaced puppet Yoda with CGI Yoda but the movie is already full of CGI.
>You have to go all the way back to the original VHS releases.
nope even the original 81/82 releases were tampered with, lucas started hedging with the first theatrical re-releases. there's a reason the 4K projects are all based on initial theatrical reels or as close to it as they can get, those are the least tampered sources. but mind you his fidgeting back then was small shit you'd hardly even notice between cuts, like cardboard cutouts of rebels in the throne room.
>Japanese laserdisc
>original theatrical cut with no additional edits
safe to say I won't be going to see the re-release
Based, I completely agree with you. I always love the prequels no matter what and The Phantom Menace is always my most favourite prequel film no matter what. Happy 25th anniversary to The Phantom Menace. I saw The Phantom Menace in theaters twice, the first time was in 1999 when it came out for the first time and the second time was in 2012 when it was re-released in 3D. I'm happy to see it for the third time, but that said, what I really want is for The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi to be re-released in theaters so I can watch those films at my local theater because those films are the only Star Wars films I haven't seen on the big screen yet because when I was a kid, my family took me to see A New Hope but not the other two original trilogy films so I'm kind of desperate to see them. Also, frick The Acolyte, I'm never going to watch that shit because frick Disney Star Wars.
I forgot to add, I've obviously already seen The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi, just not in theaters. Yet.
>The Phantom Menace is always my most favourite prequel film
I think all three are shit, but TPM is clearly the best one in a lot of respects.
>I think all three are shit
I think all three are good, warts and all. Even cringey lines like "Are you an angel?" and "Now THIS is pod-racing!" have a cringey type of soul to them in my opinion, as opposed to completely soulless lines from the sequel trilogy like "Somehow, Palpatine returned.". That said, even though I deeply love the prequels and always will, I grew up more with the original trilogy than the prequels so I love the original trilogy slightly more than the prequels. Return Of The Jedi is my most favourite Star Wars film. I don't think any Disney Star Wars film is canon.
Well AotC is awful and only watchable for prime Padme eye candy. RotS has the (overrated) duel between obi Wan and Anakin (great soundtrack though). TPM got shit in for being so unlike the OT, but the world building and politics is great. Boring by comparison, but really sets up the context for the next 2 films.
>Well AotC is awful and only watchable for prime Padme eye candy.
https://ifdb.fanedit.org/star-wars-episode-ii-the-approaching-storm/
These fan cuts are never worth it.
Are they going to release ROTS? I don't love going to the theater but would do so for ROTS
>ROTS
Do you think I'm going to read all of that?
>Okay, it was a dream.
Did he miss the last movie where Anakin had visions of his mother dying and it came true?
you can't argue with people who look for any excuse to hate something, it's a bad faith take.
he can write fine, what he can't do great is direct actors, and i say this knowing he intentionally directed the prequel cast to be more absurd and wooden than he did in the originals. his bigger concern is getting the shot right, acting is less of a concern to him.
>he can write fine
He really can't; it's the reason the OT gets worse as it goes along and the prequels are a mess from the get-go.
that's funny because both have only improved over time. yeah the special effects haven't aged as gracefully but the dialogue was always on point. it's why i hate the sequels so much, there'd be a scene here and there that absolutely nails it and shows that star wars can be made without lucas and then the rest of the film just completely misses the fricking point. like the early conversations between hux and kylo ren are pure bliss. the conversations with rey and well anyone that she interacts with are just god awful.
The Disney movies are terrible but that doesn't make the prequels better. Making that argument concedes the whole property is shitty/played out and you have to gage individual movies by internally comparing them to one another.
Lucas is just a terrible writer who initially lucked out when he kept the story simple and pumped in SFX that could carry the movies on their own.
>screenshotting a Maddox article in 2024
pal, shouldn't you be at work?
I think they have it out in some places but only if you do a full marathon of all 9 movies
>if we all go see it, it'll be a big frick you to Disney!
Chuds, not even once
Is this the cringe re edited version where Yoda is CGI or is it the actual 1999 version
CGI Yoda is superior and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
It worked better than TPM's original dodgy puppet and felt more appropriate given all the other CGI characters, but CGI Yoda also facilitated some of the worst shit in the prequels.
>but CGI Yoda also facilitated some of the worst shit in the prequels.
presumably you're referring to his lightsaber duels in 2 and 3. the duel in 2 was alright but the duel in 3 was kino, frick you.
>with an exclusive look at Acolyte
No thanks
My mom went to walmart for the weekly groceries. She bought me the new Trumoo star wars blue milk. She was all excited. I thanked her but couldn't bring myself to tell her how depressed it made me feel. I wish i could feel anything positive in regard to star wars.
You just know half the audience is gonna be plinkett fans.
>WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR FACE!?
They need to just nuke the ST already so we can all move on
won't happen until kennedy is gone and a straight white conservative male takes her place. so in other words we need to get myself instated as ceo of lucasfilm to change the company around.
They didn't even have any ST footage in their May the 4th promo video. It's possible they might be ready to pull the trigger
no they'll be silent about it but you forget that a rey skywalker movie is currently in the works.
Just like that Rogue Squadron movie that got announced and forgotten
Every normal human being moved on. You only have utter morons still caring about SW.
TPM is the least cringe one of the Prequels
Why do they keep re-releasing this one and then not follow through with the others?
Because AotC is so bad. It was always the worst of the 6 movies.
the first time was due to the lucasfilm sale and focus on force awakens, which when you think about it is ridiculous considering you only need a small team to work on 3D conversions. the second time is simply because lucasfilm has nothing going for it and the sequels are so bad that it has made people appreciate the prequels.
they got all three showing here
Because seeing the first one reminds the audience of how shitty the movies are so they can't expect to turn profit by bothering to rerelease the others.
They've gone up the ventilation shaft
When they turn Galaxy's Edge at Disney Land into Tatooine Land we'll know it's finally over
won't happen
it will forever stay batuu but if we're lucky we'll see the sequel characters disappear overnight
hope they keep park rey, she's so sexy it hurts
poor man's struzan, since he retired for real they've aped his style hardcore, only it looks like shit since they all just use photoshop. also something about ancient cabals and the like but that's neither here nor there.
What is it with Disney and these Masonic poster designs
They just don't know how to hire painters
Slop

They should do this with all classic movie. Play stuff at the cinema people actually want to see, or at least take their kids too. Yes Phantom Menace fans have kids.
Seeing this in theaters was one of my best theater going experiences as a kid when it came out, it's better than anything currently out
I am pro Jar Jar Binks

Can someone explaine how is he supposed to have a dick in his ass when all around we thought he was eating chuba chubs? Makes no sense to his cherecter arc. Redditor film criticism is disgusting.
I remember seeing it in theaters when it came out after growing up watching the OT and feeling disappointed. But nothing prepared me for attempting to watch the new Disney bullshit. Prequel trilogy is kino in comparison..
I'm going to see it soon. Pretty excited. Been a while since I saw it in theaters.
>Kino has returned to theaters
Pic unrelated, obviously
I would go so I can join in with the hooting and hollering at my local cinemark
but I have to tune into the amazing digital synagogue episode 2 stream at 5.

i can see now you're the one who's crying lmao
meanwhile i'll continue to enjoy my prequel kino
The movies are moronic. More examples:
>the clone army was uncovered while investigating a conspiracy related to the sith/war
>they literally just go along with this amazing coincidence because they're moronic
>they all get murdered because the plot needs it to happen
...
>massive conflict spanning thousands of planets all across the galaxy
>literally going on for decades at this point with millions upon millions of people involved
>it ends because the plot needs it to (i.e. 3 mins of screentime in which Anakin kills 5 or 6 people)
...
>Anakin trusts Palpatine, a Sith who started a massive war killing millions for the sake of his own power, and betrays the Jedi
>the excuse is "PADME THO! JEDI DON'T RESPECT MUH POWER LEVEL!"
>the relationship between Anakin/Padme generates no actual conflict within the plot (the audience is just told "FORBIDDEN ROMANCE!" even though nothing actually inhibits them)
>the plot is literally just "EMOTIONS ARE CONFUSING AND RELATIONSHIPS CAUSE EMOTIONS!"
Basically, shit needs to happen in order for the plot to move forward so it does. Sure, there are lots of nonsensical plot holes but this is low-hanging fruit that has been done to death (basically cheap YouTube style criticism). The deeper problem is that the plot isn't being driven by characters in something that has the pretense of being a tragedy; tragedy is specifically character driven as far as that genre goes. You end up with simplistic moron takes from the characters while the plot happens to them and them making decisions that are kind of stupid because the plot simply needs to happen.
still going lmao
>still going

>I introduced that gif to Cinemaphile
nice quads but that gif is older than you
>literally going on for decades at this point with millions upon millions of people involved
It went on for 3 years.
It started with the boring trade federation nonsense decades before, moron. Besides, even if it only started 3 years before it still involved millions upon millions of people and is wrapped up in 2 minutes of screentime because the plot needed it.
>they literally just go along with this amazing coincidence because they're moronic
They had no other choice and Palpatine had a lot of sway within the senate.
>it ends because the plot needs it to (i.e. 3 mins of screentime in which Anakin kills 5 or 6 people)
It ends because Palpatine, who started the war, didn't need it anymore and killed those 5 or 6 people who were the only other leaders within the seperatist movement.
>the relationship between Anakin/Padme generates no actual conflict within the plot (the audience is just told "FORBIDDEN ROMANCE!" even though nothing actually inhibits them)
Romantic are forbidden by the jedi.
don't bother replying, that anon is moronic and thinks they know how to write movies
I think perhaps the point that doesnt fully come across is that the Jedi are autistic wackos who dont understand human emotions and they trained Anakin to be halfway like them.
Basically it makes sense when you look at it like Anakin has major oneitis for Padme and is basically completely fricked in the head due to all the mind games going on. Realize that from his perspective the Jedi want to take away everything he loves while Palpatine is completely supportive of him.
Then Obi-Wan comes along secretly and then goads Anakin into a light saber fight while lacking any sort of empathy for where hes coming from. I mean instead of saying let her go, he could have asked what Palpatine promised him or what he was motivated to do? Why was he so scared? Why did he kill the children? Really the entire movie can be explained in that the Jedi are autistic wackos who dont understand human motivations due to their detachment idealogy and thats why Palpatine is able to manipulate everyone so well because he knows exactly how to frick with Anakins head, he knows exactly how the Jedi think and operate.
I mean if Obi Wan loved Anakin so much why didnt he just say stop this non-sense im not here to kill you, your wife is pregnant lets help her first...but no the plot necessitates all this moronation because we need to get Anakin into the darth vader suit.
>I mean instead of saying let her go, he could have asked what Palpatine promised him or what he was motivated to do?
Kek
I mean maybe in that moment he could have just said She did'nt bring me here, im not here to kill you, im just as confused as you are and I want to find out whats going on.
Instead really Obi-Wan is there to kill Anakin and Anakin is completely right to be fearful of Obi-Wan being his enemy. But Obi-Wan is acting like a fricking whackjob because Yoda just tells him that Anakin is dead and consumed by Vader which is just completely bonkers. Yoda is completely fricked in the head because George has to hamfistly try to make what they say in the OT work except at this point Anakin is most definately not too far gone, hes only too far gone after Obi-Wan betrays him and Padme dies.
Essentially Obi-Wan and Yoda are completely responsible for all the fricked up shit Anakin goes through and the creation of Darth Vader because they cant think like normal human beings.
>because they cant think like normal human beings
They were indoctrinated into the Order in infancy and are dogmatic to a fault. Anakin got in at 9. He's more normal than they are, and suffered because of it. Qui-Gon was literally his only chance.
>NO YOU!!!!!
Lol, you're a moron dumb enough to enjoy poorly written quasi-kids movies that didn't even know who their audience was. Keep crying, prequelgay. Providing the opportunity to dunk on you morons is the greatest gift George Lucas ever bestowed.
Reminder the only way to watch Phantom Menace is the VHS/early DVD version with puppet Yoda. The updated ones with CGI Yoda are not kino or sovlful in any way. You watch the early edition and pretend no other movies were made.
I haven't seen it in so long I didn't know the new versions have CGI Yoda. That's lame
>puppets verse cartoons
Dumb argument either way. Star Wars is for dumb kids (like boybands) and manbabies (like funkos).
It is but at least you can choose (if you're smart) between having sovless CGI slop or a puppet Yoda, like the original movies had. Small change but big difference.
Playing "I'm an adult and don't watch kids movies" while posting on an anime website is a bit of an oxymoron, innit?
Your childhood bullies didn't do a good enough job on you so I'm forced to step in. Bonus is the laughs at your expense. Thanks.
It's embarrassing that you're even here if that's how you feel
>n-n-no you though!
Lol. Imagine having to watch Star Wars as a surrogate for failing to develop intellectually and emotionally.
Still an anime website you post on btw
>still trying to recycle the same insult
Hasn't been one since the 00s. Stop pretending to be an oldgay, prequeltard.
Quit being a fricking nerd.
It's Star Wars, dipshit. Time is limited, life is precious. Don't waste it on sovlless garbo as much as possible.
The Prequels? More like The Keyedquels.
They should remaster it like they did with the OT. Most of it was shot on green screen so it'd be less clunky than OT.
>I have altered the films, pray I don't alter them any further
They only do that if they think they can make money and Lucas cared so little that he sold it to Disney, lol. He's a shit writer/director and helped turned movies into cartoons but he's a shrewd businessman.
The prequels had a shit ton of practical effects. A lot of the locations were miniatures that they'd superimpose the actors onto.
Doesn't change the fact they were mostly CG and Lucas played a major role in turning movies into cartoons.
There was no other way to make certain ideas happen. It couldn't have been done practically. Get over it.
>There was no other way to make certain ideas happen
Too bad he used it for sets that looked like shit and ended up seeming smaller than building a practical set would have, moron. Lol.
>spend millions developing sophisticated CGI technology for your trilogy of films
>able to render huge scale battles with hundreds of actors playing unique animations
>said technology becomes the industry norm within a couple years
>immediately pivot and make a shitty cartoon with 3DCG blender animations where there is one shared running animation for all the characters
>sell the company
we could have had 7 seasons of clone wars with movie-level effects, but he turned in to a cartoon for children, even more so than before
Genndy Tartakovsky, the guy who made 2D Clone Wars, wanted TCW to be a series of films. Had they been films from the start, they would've looked much better and stand alongside the likes of Pixar and Dreamworks.
I think 2 seasons of Genndy Wars was more than plenty
The 3D animation would've been godly though.
I never liked how too clean the PT looked. Having seen all BtS footage it explains why. Wherever they could get away with it greenscreen was used.
>I never liked how too clean the PT looked
It should look clean. It's the Old Republic, not the Empire.
Just got out of my local kinoplex, it was still a really good movie, I wish they still showed or released '99 version if only for comparisons sake. I remember the puppetry for Yoda in I being subpar.
>I remember the puppetry for Yoda in I being subpar.
it was
also fun fact, warwick davis actually wore a yoda costume for the scene towards the end of the film where he tells obi-wan of the plan to train anakin
I can see it, he shows up in like three different roles in the film, maybe more.
yeah he does do at least three iirc. he's space willow at the podrace, i believe he plays a jawa somewhere along the lines, might have done some motion capture for the pit droids, and then yoda as well.
i just checked, he's also anakin's rodian friend & you can apparently see him walking the streets of mos espa as a totally unrelated character to any of the above mentioned.
actually the best movie of the prequels
I'll not watch in the theater again though
They teased an Acolytes preview prior to the film but at the end of the movie 99% of the people there got up and left without seeing the preview except for my friend and I. I haven't kept up with Disney Wars but the preview looked really lame. Are people really looking forward to that show?
>Are people really looking forward to that show?
besides carrie ann moss being in the show nobody is looking forward to it.
I like the premise of the show more than most Star Wars stuff we've gotten, but I don't have high hopes for it. I'll watch the first episode or two but I wouldn't say I'm dying to see it.
I’ve consoomed some of the mouse slop like Mando and Boba Fett but have no intention in watching Acolyte. Casting ugly mutts and writing girlboss characters were bad enough, but now there’s a troony Jedi in Acolyte. Frick Disney, I’m out.
>watch 3 shit films in a row so you can watch 1 good, 1 great and 1 decent set of films from the 70s and 80s
gonna watch it tomorrow
anything i should shout in the middle of the function?
just the good old "george lucas did nothing wrong"
There was a woman in my showing who either had never seen Star Wars or was moronic (or both). She was talking a lot during the movie but at this part where R2-D2 is commended for saving the ship, there's a pause before Captain Panaka says his number, and the woman said "...C-3PO!" Made me laugh.
You should actually be quiet and listen, because that's what nobody did.
What the frick. Runs for 3 days, my local kinoplex already sold all seats. How the frick did that happen? I thought everyone hated it. I went to see the rerun of LOTR RotK and there was almost nobody there. Does Star Wars have that BIG of a sway or is it some shitty bug on the theather's side?
>Does Star Wars have that BIG of a sway
pre-disney star wars does, yes. next year when they do a 10th anniversary screening of the force awakens you'll see nobody going to it.
Masallah!
bros /ourshlag/ has spoken, we have to go see it now
shut up b***h, you were moaning about the prequels ruining your career until reddit made it cool to love them
sneaky israelite I still love you though
I would go if it was the 99' print and not just the D+ version on a big screen
I get what George was going for but Anakin really should have been a little older in TPM
nah, seeing anakin be a hopeful young child is kino. filtered.
>watch to the end of the credits for Phantom Menace for the first time in years
>Darth Vader breathing is the last sound that plays after the final credits roll
Was that in the original film? I honestly never noticed it before and it caught me off guard.
This is the first time I've ever heard of it. Definitely sounds like something Disney or a George re-release would do
it would also help with other implications
Let's be honest, boys having crushes on older girls isn't exactly rare.
If you see Natalie Portman when she was being scouted for the role in 1997 / 1998-ish she looked more aprapo for the role.
They probably should’ve cast an actual 14 year old so that they would age up to 15/16 by the time of principle photography began rather than Portman being 16 going on 17/18. Hiccup in that casting department on that one because the age difference is striking.
Brehs I bought the R2D2 popcorn bucket
They already rereleased it in 3d forever ago, then they stopped because Lucas sold it
>3D RotS was taken from us
GEORGE
>giving Disney money because of some shitty fantasy movie you watched as a kid
The older I get the sadder I feel seeing Anakin as a happy kid in this movie knowing what’s going to happen to him in the next two films, that dialogue with him and Qui Gon talking about seeing all the stars really stuck with me on this viewing.
Something about Phantom Menace feels the most like the original trilogy to me of all the subsequent Star Wars films, maybe it’s the more lighthearted tone or something but it’s comfy to me.
It's even more sad knowing what's going to happen to Jake
True, I feel so sorry for him and I hope he’s getting the mental help he needs.
If I remember correctly he actually had a very positive experience from filming the movie but came down with different mental illnesses later in life (damn shame because he could be making tons of money at cons now).
>Something about Phantom Menace feels the most like the original trilogy to me of all the subsequent Star Wars films, maybe it’s the more lighthearted tone or something but it’s comfy to me.
You're absolutely right about that. It was also the last SW shot on film instead of digital.
Yeah I never quite liked how 2 and 3 looked with digital, I think their CG would be a bit better received if not totally shot on digital.
It also had a lot of Tatooine and that made it feel more connected to the OT
I'll repeat it: the podracing scene is unironically a masterpiece and looks better than 95% of the cgi crap that has been released in the past decade
Those sounds Sebulba’s podracer makes are cool as frick
Almost every sound effect in George era Star Wars was so good. Disney live action Star Wars can't even get the blaster sounds right, let alone the music
Those are miniatures by the way.
It is.
Lots of the fun games, lit, & expanded material from the racing were pretty good too.
watching this scene 9 times in cinema was glorious
>you will watch this video again because we put a le sneak peek
But when are they going to release the best prequel, Attack of the Clones?
2027
I'm so dosappointed AotC isn't in theaters, I wanted to watch it on the big screen so bad after finishing TPM.
watch the RLM reviews
>watch the RLM review chud
>check the yelp chud
>listen to the RYM hits chud
I fricking hate reviews. They could be somewhat avoided before the internet (don’t look at catalogs with reviews, no one to hear word of mouth from) but by god is it nigh impossible now. You can’t do anything without first hearing some lame homosexuals opinion. It has ruined the ability of modern man to use the section of his brain to seek out new and interesting stimuli. Why bother searching for novelty when the rest of tribe has already decided where the best sustenance is? Unfortunately, most members of the tribe are fricking morons. It has lead to unfathomable amounts of groupthink and bugmen who will vehemently defend any opposition to their awful decided upon taste. In no rational world is the best musical composition throughout all of history a fricking Kendrick Lamar album. Frick reviews and frick you for subscribing to some fat Black folk “correct opinion” on subjective media.
>so this bad guy sith is a count
>ok he's called count... dakula? no no too obvious, dokula? dooku, that's it dooku
>quick, get Mr Lee on the phone
kino or bino?
These are worth watching just for amidalas costumes.
why is the acting so fricking bad in the phantom menace? they aren't bad actors and do a fine job in AotC and RotS. Did they just not rehearse or get any direction or what

She's fine in other scenes. It's just her Queen voice.
I saw it in 3d a decade ago. Not many people were in the theater. Then Disney canceled the releases to do sequels. I wonder if 3d files for Empire Strikes back are out there. I have honestly seen the movie too many times.
I noticed something for the first time in this viewing: right before Anakin goes to the Jedi temple and Amidala goes to the Senate, there's a scene where Anakin tries to say goodbye to Padmé but he's told she's not around. Then the Queen comes out and tells Anakin she'll make sure Padmé gets the message. What I didn't catch before is that it was actually Padmé in the Queen's garb, that she had switched places with her decoy for that scene and also the Senate scene.
Am I the only one who didn't notice this before? Either way it's a great little detail.
just starting Phantom Menace @ https://bongstream.live/north/
Based, I completely agree with you. I always love the prequels no matter what and The Phantom Menace is always my most favourite prequel film no matter what. Happy 25th anniversary to The Phantom Menace. I saw The Phantom Menace in theaters twice, the first time was in 1999 when it came out for the first time and the second time was in 2012 when it was re-released in 3D. I'm happy to see it for the third time, but that said, what I really want is for The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi to be re-released in theaters so I can watch those films at my local theater because those films are the only Star Wars films I haven't seen on the big screen yet because when I was a kid, my family took me to see A New Hope but not the other two original trilogy films so I'm kind of desperate to see them. Also, frick The Acolyte, I'm never going to watch that shit because frick Disney Star Wars. Anyway, happy Pre-Disney Star Wars Day, may the Fourth be with you all you homosexuals.
I’m gonna be stuck in Canada, anybody know if Canadian theaters are playing it?
Shan't be going. Made the mistake of going thrice when I was a kid and by the third time the stupidity of what I was watching finally started sinking in. Haven't watched since. Since that time, starting with Episode II, I have had a policy of going to the theater to watch the new Star Wars movie exactly once, one time, and then never watching it again. I remember finding things in Episode III worth liking, and Rogue One was the most enjoyable flick I had seen since Jedi. But I don't feel a need to revisit anything made after 1983.
