The whole "Jango using a poison dart from a very specific planet that Obi-Wan's 1950's-diner owning friend just happens to know about, causing him to go to the planet of origin and he just to happens to find the precursor to the stormtroopers just chilling there and they're all clones just like that bounty hunter from Episode 5&6" just didn't sit well with me!
>Was there some EU comic or novel that explained how some fat owner of a 50s diner knew about a planet that even the Jedi archives didn't?
Dexter Jettster was born on Ojom. At one point in his life, he was a professional fighter.[6] He left his homeworld and eventually became a prospector for a mine on the planet of Subterrel, where he saw a Kaminoan saberdart used by Polis Massans.[7] By 44 BBY[8] he set up a bar on the remote Outer Rim mining world of Ord Sigatt, where he used the bar as a cover for running guns.[6] While running the bar, Dex met Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, after dropping bottles in an alley,[8] and took a liking to him.[6]
Shortly thereafter, Dex opened a weapon shop on the Outland Transit Station, where he supplied mercenaries and bounty hunters. With an attack and near destruction of Outland Transit Station, he decided he'd had enough.[6] He sold the last stock to Jango Fett[source?] and used the proceeds to fund his trip to Coruscant,[source?] where he bought a diner in CoCo Town[6] from Didi Oddo.[9] For many years it had been his dream to open a restaurant in the best part of the city-planet.
Jettster encountered Obi-Wan Kenobi again when the unidentifiable vercupti of sgazza boleruueé served at the Jedi Temple main house drove the young Jedi to try the diner.[10] To Jettster's delight, Kenobi visited the café again in 27 BBY, looking for information on his new enemy, Granta Omega. Although Jettster knew nothing about Omega, he offered Kenobi his hospitality and beverages, as well as a research on this person. Kenobi took the opportunity to introduce his new Padawan Anakin Skywalker to Jettster.[11]
They were doing the "Guy that tries to uncover a mystery knows a shlubby working class guy that's seen some shit that ends up being surprisingly useful in figuring something out" trope.
Nah dude, this is just disengenuous. I think all the prequels are underrated and ROTS is on par with the OT at least when it's at its best. But AOTC is probably the worst of the hexology just due to the anakin padme scenes. Lightyears better than anything disney has ever made though.
>I think all the prequels are underrated and ROTS is on par with the OT at least when it's at its best
ROTS still suffers from terrible directing like the other two. Literally no use of visual language to communicate anything, just people walking and delivering terrible dialogue using shot reverse shot, it's like someone filmed a bad grade school play
kids shows used to be all kinds of dark. hell i remember going to see Jurassic park at the theater when i was like 6, guy gets mauled to death in the first 5 minutes. i went and say the phantom menace in the theater when i was 10 along with half the school, but we also all went and saw the matrix too and they came out at around the same time from what i remember.
Kids are usually more open minded to new ideas and fantasies. Then as teenagers they become close minded edgelords. As an adult you're supposed to reach a form of synthesis of these two extremes.
I don't get zoomers and their belief that "kids movies" can't have dark moments and violence so they pretend that any movie aimed at kids that have some darker moments or violence is automatically NOT for kids
Is it cope or what? I remember the same thing with morons here saying Shazam wasn't a kids movie because that one scene where the monsters kill a bunch of people at a board room
Kids movies don't have the main character massacre children. I don't know what you watched as a kid but that's typically seen as a more mature subject.
Okay, sorry but did you cry when you watched that scene or something >back in da 80s, we watched Aliens and Robocop and turned out juuuuust fiiiine >NOOOOO you can't have a scene this fricked up and disturbing, what are you thinking George?! Give me my childhood back right now!!!!
>this Black person never seen Pinocchio
Yes, material dedicated to kids can still contain dark moments. They're not all just sunshine and rainbows like Bob the Builders or some shit. Only Americans would think in such extremes.
>>main defenders of the prequels are stunted manchildren
The biggest haters of the prequels are red letter media the very definition of stunted manchildren
It's no defence whatsoever as the OT was also made for children. But not only for children, just like the prequels. He is just a moron, many such cases.
>what a sad old man
It's actually amazing how far he's fallen from grace. He had such an amazing gift and he decided to throw it away. It's depressing how like most men of his era, he became the very thing his younger self hated and rallied against.
zoomers hate their boomer grandparents, their gen x parents, and gen y as well. They're as shallow, hate filled and easily manipulated by israelites as any generation who ever existed. They constantly exhibit the worst aspects of humanity and are arrogantly smug and proud of their own ignorance and lack the self awareness to recognise any of this.
>makes star wars movie for "kids" >main character in 1st movie (jar jar) for "kids" >everyone hates the character for "kids" > his character for "kids" barely has screen time in the next 2 movies
>like saying X men is a kids movie
In what world is capeshit or comic book anything truly meant for adults?! Teens and maybe college age? Ok.
but otherwise? If you're into comic anything past 30 you're a fricking loser. Some dude with no wife, no kids, no home etc etc. No 30+ year old man with his shit together is like oh boy new x-man film is out!!!! All capeshit is for kids and teens.
No, the poor reception they got is because they were fricking bad.
The Prequels had some very good worldbuilding and intrigue behind them, which is why people like them, but the movies themselves sucked. It's like Skyrim.
Maybe I'm the odd one out, but I grew up with the prequels and I still like them even now. The original star wars films were great, but so were the prequels they complete each other and tell the story of Anakin / Vader and honestly he's a good character a tortured character and I can sympathize with him its hurts seeing his relationship with Obi-wan break down and the emperor twist him against his friends. It gives a lot more depth to him being saved in return of the jedi and adds more emotion to the final scene, that's my take away from the movies and the thing that sticks with me sure they're a lot of questionable quality stuff in there but it has that thread of gold through the middle that does for me at least salvage it.
George doesn't understand that "kids" is a very broad classification. I'd say Star Wars is for kids around the 10 to 12 year old range or so. But a character like Jar Jar is for 3 year olds, children too young for the sword fighting and guns and explosion and death that also in these movies. There's a major dissonance there that George is incapable of seeing.
The prequels are also filled to the brim with weird fan-pandering and dramatic irony that are best appreciated by established fans. Obviously there were 8 year olds when TPM came out that had seen the OT and were fans, but that just makes the clumsy disconnect more odd and the pandering even worse. It's one thing to deliver Chewbacca to a nostalgic grown audience; it's another to shoehorn Chewbacca to an audience that just watched TESB for the first time a couple years ago.
>George doesn't understand that "kids" is a very broad classification. I'd say Star Wars is for kids around the 10 to 12 year old range or so.
I'm pretty sure George has said 12 year old boys are the perfect audience for star wars
He always meant these movies to be for kids but he's a terrible writer and storyteller, David Lynch even said that Lucas doesn't like directing at all for example, I think he never meant Star Wars to become a billion dollar franchise, I think he was meant to be an experimental indie filmmaker but somehow managed to make Star Wars
And Star Wars was good thanks to other people, not him
How are those white slavers treating your creation George? You autistic frick. You tone deaf idiot who never understood what his own creation resonated with in people, which proves you’re a lucky fricking Jack who should NEVER, EVER, be compared to superior directors.
Calm down you sperg lmao. I can just picture you smashing away at your keyboard with autistic rage, the numerous grammatical errors give it away. Grow up manchild, the prequels are loved by millions. You lost.
If that's the one highlight of his existence then it's pretty sad and also futile. I have never hated George to begin with, and definitely not going to start now all of a sudden.
I don't understand, for years prequel defenders like rick worley and anomaly inc kept saying these movies were secretly shakespearean masterpieces for adults and now I'm being told these movies are for children and I should stop caring about what slop gets shoveled in my childrens faces. Which is it, are they masterpieces for adults or children shit I can't criticize?
This is all bullshit. And every reason is bullshit. Here is the real reason people "hate" them. Disney bought Star Wars and made thier first SW movie. All the old fans of the prequels and originals fricking hated it. All the new "fans" were zoomies and woke trannies. Instead of them accepting the new films were total dog shit, they started bashing the prequels. That's it. All this nonsense is manufactured fake rage designed by Disney shills. And all this drama is not even real. It's all deflection from the fact that Disney SW shows and movies fricking suck. It's like making fun of your fat frick friend. Instead of hitting the gym and a diet he just point s at someone else and says "well what about him." The prequels were made and the toys flew off the shelves. No matter what I sult you throw at the prequels, it dosent change the fact that the new movies are raw shit. It's all deflection. It's Disney and it's pedophile fans saying "Don't talk about how bad they are! Hey what's this!?" Then they throw a stick and hope you focus on that and quit talking about them. The prequels were so "bad" that I saw each film at least twice in the theatres. I have never been to see the new ones and after watching the first one on Blu-ray, I don't even bother to pirate them. I have never bought a single book or any other Nuwars merchandise. Not because I'm some sort of an activist. It's because it's all shit. Nothing Disney has made even comes close to the hype that KOTOR on Xbox gave me. I repeat, all the billions Disney has spent on SW and they can't even get me as excited I was for a fricking Xbox game. This is total failure. Im surprise LD they haven't pulled this move on the old Star Trek series but I think we will see the same thing. >New ST fricking sucks
B..but..but ST Next Generation was horrible and dumb!
>born in 89 >exact right age that I saw the OT on VHS, special editions in theatres, TPM as a pre-teen and AotC+RotS as a teen
No one has a better ability to judge these movies than me and I say the prequels are shit.
And next you'll say "yeah I saw TFA in theaters but then never bothered with 8 and 9 because I'm not a fricking moron." How do I know this? Because I am you and you are me.
Yes, that obviously goes without saying. Abstinence from Disney is the only answer now. I'm sorry x men. I'm sorry fox. I'm so sorry. You're all dead now. I would rather post in Sneed threads for 3 hours at a time rather than watch ahsoka. The webms I've seen are more than enough. Fun hypothetical: if you were forced to consume one disneywars production, would it be obi Wan or Andor? (I assume those are the only two contenders, I still plan on being abstinent)
Do you think George Lucas watches the prequels from time to time and is 100% happy with them? Like yep, this is the story I wanted to tell. I'm so proud of myself.
Because I get the feeling like George probably hasn't actually watched the films after releasing them in theaters, and he's just upset that no one else is watching them either.
umm no, the carrier ships the ground vehicles looked stupid, the basic b***h battle droids were ok but ruined with all the quips
the fist laser guys were an improvement the roller transformer guys were pretty good, the space fighters that could transform into walkers were cool but underused, the spider crab gun was stupid, the dual wheel missile laucnhers were meh, all easily forgotten and excusable since the clone army was even more dorky
i miss the secondary media that came out alongside it like the cross sections book i used to have. this shit was sick. the OT ships are all just kinda bland grey blocks and triangles (with the big exception of slave 1), limited by the tech of the on set model makers, but in the PT they could really go wild with the designs
I don’t even get why the >it’s for kids argument stop criticizing it chud!
is even being used. You can make a good movie for children that can be enjoyed by adults (land before time, fox and the hound, the lion, the witch and the wardrobe) something can be made for children and be good, they’re aren’t mutually exclusive concepts. Also prequel fans keep saying this is for children and anyone who cares is a man child so by their logic they’re man children because they’ve made half a dozen threads today seething at anyone who criticizes the prequels.
I was 5 years old when I watched and I was mad that it was boring. I think it was the first time I ever hated a movie and decided to do something else besides stare at the tv.
Even at the beginning ARAPNET was used by academics and the government both. By 1999, email was widely used by businesses and consumers, though most people weren't posting on newsgroups, true. I remember 2000 being the year of the big push for consumers to start using AOL.
ep 2 and 3 are the best star wars movies though
The whole "Jango using a poison dart from a very specific planet that Obi-Wan's 1950's-diner owning friend just happens to know about, causing him to go to the planet of origin and he just to happens to find the precursor to the stormtroopers just chilling there and they're all clones just like that bounty hunter from Episode 5&6" just didn't sit well with me!
Was there some EU comic or novel that explained how some fat owner of a 50s diner knew about a planet that even the Jedi archives didn't?

That's not canon anymore
They were doing the "Guy that tries to uncover a mystery knows a shlubby working class guy that's seen some shit that ends up being surprisingly useful in figuring something out" trope.
Because you're 50. Other than Vader is Luke's dad I didn't know anything about the OT when I first watched the PT
thats why youre baby
It’s an homage to neo-noir movies of the 50s…
Nah dude, this is just disengenuous. I think all the prequels are underrated and ROTS is on par with the OT at least when it's at its best. But AOTC is probably the worst of the hexology just due to the anakin padme scenes. Lightyears better than anything disney has ever made though.

>Literally no use of visual language to communicate anything
So amazingly incorrect.
God you're a fricking moron.
>no use of visual language to communicate anything
Just admit you have zero fricking knowledge and are talking out of your ass.
I see you becoming the greatest of all the anons
Episode 1 aesthetics are special
Also keyed Lucas naming the s oyboys
unlocked bros, we're winning
Prequelgays are still seething about some fat idiot who made a youtube review about how bad the films were
great kids movie George
He really never knew what he was doing and now he's just senile
Cope.
Kids stories and movies used to have violence and scary moments/situations. You just grew up in the sanitised homosexual era.
>Be Jedi child
>Get sabered
kids were tougher back then, they could take it. unlike your grown ass kek
It was the 2000s, edge was in. Even shit for kids.
your mom can take my dick in her ass, she's tough too
proofs
kids shows used to be all kinds of dark. hell i remember going to see Jurassic park at the theater when i was like 6, guy gets mauled to death in the first 5 minutes. i went and say the phantom menace in the theater when i was 10 along with half the school, but we also all went and saw the matrix too and they came out at around the same time from what i remember.
kids were just seeing everything.
i remember prettymuch everyone at school had managed to see starship troopers within like a month of it coming to blockbuster
Kids are usually more open minded to new ideas and fantasies. Then as teenagers they become close minded edgelords. As an adult you're supposed to reach a form of synthesis of these two extremes.
JP was 1993. TPM was 1999
and?
Those ages you mentioned don't fit.
dont fit what?
What year were you born
i was born in 88, so i was like 5ish when i saw JP and 10 or 11 when phantom menace and matrix came out.
i was close enough, quit being autistic about it
>quit being autistic about it
That's just not going to happen
I don't get zoomers and their belief that "kids movies" can't have dark moments and violence so they pretend that any movie aimed at kids that have some darker moments or violence is automatically NOT for kids
Is it cope or what? I remember the same thing with morons here saying Shazam wasn't a kids movie because that one scene where the monsters kill a bunch of people at a board room
They grew up wrapped in cotton wool and all of their media was extremely sanitised. Zoomers find 80s and early 90s kids media creepy and upsetting.
Kids movies don't have the main character massacre children. I don't know what you watched as a kid but that's typically seen as a more mature subject.
Traditional and classic children's stories are often cautionary tales full of life lessons. You were filtered by George.
I watched star wars
Okay, sorry but did you cry when you watched that scene or something
>back in da 80s, we watched Aliens and Robocop and turned out juuuuust fiiiine
>NOOOOO you can't have a scene this fricked up and disturbing, what are you thinking George?! Give me my childhood back right now!!!!
Not sure what your point is, I saw ROTS in theaters when I was 6 years old and loved it.
because you were 6
It sounds like the movie served its purpose
Are you moronic?
>this Black person never seen Pinocchio
Yes, material dedicated to kids can still contain dark moments. They're not all just sunshine and rainbows like Bob the Builders or some shit. Only Americans would think in such extremes.
great kids movie Walt
Is this a shit post? A trolling shit post? Or are you that autistically moronic to compare the two? I honestly can't tell.
He had to chase them around while they hid under the furniture or tried to run from the door.
This moron probably believes fairy tales are as sanitized as the Yidsney productions.
Does that make prequelgays manbabys?
>the prequels are kids movie
>main defenders of the prequels are stunted manchildren
I don't understand this world anymore.
Those manbabies were children when they saw the prequels
By that logic, OT fanboys are even worse.
>>main defenders of the prequels are stunted manchildren
The biggest haters of the prequels are red letter media the very definition of stunted manchildren
I saw the originals when I was 10 years old and saw the prequels as a teenager/young adult and enjoyed them but this isn't a good defence.
It's no defence whatsoever as the OT was also made for children. But not only for children, just like the prequels. He is just a moron, many such cases.
always with the same cope
I was 9 when Phantom Menace came out and I thought it was weirdly written, slow, and with good vehicle designs.
He was right. Every instance of people criticizing the movie, it was some old fat guy.
Yeah, star wars is. Parents can watch them with their kids and everyone enjoy them. But they're kids movies. Have been from the beginning
I didn't even like these movies as a child so he's failed in both regards
it's one thing to enjoy it and a completely different thing to build your (lack of) personality around it
I did enjoy them as a kid so you're wrong.
>"it is a kids' movie"
t. george "the hack" lucas
what a sad old man, that didn't have the slightest clue why people liked the original trilogy or the universe it created
>what a sad old man
It's actually amazing how far he's fallen from grace. He had such an amazing gift and he decided to throw it away. It's depressing how like most men of his era, he became the very thing his younger self hated and rallied against.
Worse still, he got rid of the people around him that did know.
Fricking boomers
zoomers hate their boomer grandparents, their gen x parents, and gen y as well. They're as shallow, hate filled and easily manipulated by israelites as any generation who ever existed. They constantly exhibit the worst aspects of humanity and are arrogantly smug and proud of their own ignorance and lack the self awareness to recognise any of this.
>makes star wars movie for "kids"
>main character in 1st movie (jar jar) for "kids"
>everyone hates the character for "kids"
> his character for "kids" barely has screen time in the next 2 movies
What did George mean by this?
Why would kids want to watch adults discussing politics, peace treaties, and blockades?
Bullshit you can Google old newspaper articles of when Star Wars launched. Lots of teens and people in their twenties.
It is like saying X men is a kids movie.
>like saying X men is a kids movie
In what world is capeshit or comic book anything truly meant for adults?! Teens and maybe college age? Ok.
but otherwise? If you're into comic anything past 30 you're a fricking loser. Some dude with no wife, no kids, no home etc etc. No 30+ year old man with his shit together is like oh boy new x-man film is out!!!! All capeshit is for kids and teens.
>It is like saying X men is a kids movie.
10-15 year old boys are looked at as kids by most people
X Men is a kids movie. That's why there's shit tons of action figures, toys, and boys underwear made with Xmen.
He's right, and you should apologize to him if you haven't done that already
George didn’t give a shit about reviewers. Yes they were for kids. But the movies were always secondary, and purely just drivers to sell merchandise.
Which he basically had the sole rights to
>there are aliens that are all ethnic stereotypes.
George is always inconsistent. I just nod my head and say "Okay George".
Based
>kicked out of 109 systems
No, the poor reception they got is because they were fricking bad.
The Prequels had some very good worldbuilding and intrigue behind them, which is why people like them, but the movies themselves sucked. It's like Skyrim.
It's true but the manchildren will never admit it.
Can't movies for children be good?
Maybe I'm the odd one out, but I grew up with the prequels and I still like them even now. The original star wars films were great, but so were the prequels they complete each other and tell the story of Anakin / Vader and honestly he's a good character a tortured character and I can sympathize with him its hurts seeing his relationship with Obi-wan break down and the emperor twist him against his friends.

I'm pretty sure George has said 12 year old boys are the perfect audience for star wars
>they're genre movies and therefore they suck by default
george lucas is a burnout moron
Why are man children obsessed with such an average franchise.
I checked IMDB
3 movies have over 8
2 movies have over 7
4 movies have bellow 7
surely average would be straight 5s
>it's a kids movie, that's why I included 40 minutes of politics on Coruscant
He always meant these movies to be for kids but he's a terrible writer and storyteller, David Lynch even said that Lucas doesn't like directing at all for example, I think he never meant Star Wars to become a billion dollar franchise, I think he was meant to be an experimental indie filmmaker but somehow managed to make Star Wars
And Star Wars was good thanks to other people, not him
have a nice day youtube cuck
He should have made good children movies then.
It's cope anyway, hack
He became a multi billionaire due to the popularity of his movies. If anyone is coping, it's you.
How are those white slavers treating your creation George? You autistic frick. You tone deaf idiot who never understood what his own creation resonated with in people, which proves you’re a lucky fricking Jack who should NEVER, EVER, be compared to superior directors.
Calm down you sperg lmao. I can just picture you smashing away at your keyboard with autistic rage, the numerous grammatical errors give it away. Grow up manchild, the prequels are loved by millions. You lost.
>White slavers
No amount of tone deaf cope will ever wash away the stink of failure.
this guy is determined to make people hate him.
If that's the one highlight of his existence then it's pretty sad and also futile. I have never hated George to begin with, and definitely not going to start now all of a sudden.
You're going to hate him regardless. It's no secret that these movies have always appealed to the youth.
I don't understand, for years prequel defenders like rick worley and anomaly inc kept saying these movies were secretly shakespearean masterpieces for adults and now I'm being told these movies are for children and I should stop caring about what slop gets shoveled in my childrens faces. Which is it, are they masterpieces for adults or children shit I can't criticize?
Its almost as it the movies work on multiple levels.
Or don't work on any level.
The success and popularity for decades proves that they do.
This is all bullshit. And every reason is bullshit. Here is the real reason people "hate" them. Disney bought Star Wars and made thier first SW movie. All the old fans of the prequels and originals fricking hated it. All the new "fans" were zoomies and woke trannies. Instead of them accepting the new films were total dog shit, they started bashing the prequels. That's it. All this nonsense is manufactured fake rage designed by Disney shills. And all this drama is not even real. It's all deflection from the fact that Disney SW shows and movies fricking suck. It's like making fun of your fat frick friend.

And next you'll say "yeah I saw TFA in theaters but then never bothered with 8 and 9 because I'm not a fricking moron." How do I know this? Because I am you and you are me.
That is exactly right lol. I saw TFA when it released in theatres and it was so bad I haven't watched a single disneywars thing since.
Yes, that obviously goes without saying. Abstinence from Disney is the only answer now. I'm sorry x men. I'm sorry fox. I'm so sorry. You're all dead now. I would rather post in Sneed threads for 3 hours at a time rather than watch ahsoka. The webms I've seen are more than enough. Fun hypothetical: if you were forced to consume one disneywars production, would it be obi Wan or Andor? (I assume those are the only two contenders, I still plan on being abstinent)
Captcha: PPVH (PEE PEE VERY HARD)
Do you think George Lucas watches the prequels from time to time and is 100% happy with them? Like yep, this is the story I wanted to tell. I'm so proud of myself.
Because I get the feeling like George probably hasn't actually watched the films after releasing them in theaters, and he's just upset that no one else is watching them either.
>and he's just upset that no one else is watching them either.
tpm just had a very well received re release
>and is 100% happy with them
He was not perfectly happy with the OT to begin with, if the numerous edits and re-releases are any indication.
I watch them and enjoy them.
i love how the maclunkey cut revealed this mfer was tinkering right up until he sold
imagine if he never sold what he'd be doing to the OT by now
He's wrong.
Star Wars is for children...AND autistic manbabbys.
Tart Wars
Star Wars was only good because of the 70s vibe. After that it was just soulless CG slop.
>slop
Opinion discarded
most moronic star wars take ive seen
apart from the ground portion of the battle for naboo, the phantom menace had fantastic CG, much of which still holds up today
The droid army looked great for it's time.
umm no, the carrier ships the ground vehicles looked stupid, the basic b***h battle droids were ok but ruined with all the quips
the fist laser guys were an improvement the roller transformer guys were pretty good, the space fighters that could transform into walkers were cool but underused, the spider crab gun was stupid, the dual wheel missile laucnhers were meh, all easily forgotten and excusable since the clone army was even more dorky
homosexual, you weren't there. What you think doesn't matter
i miss the secondary media that came out alongside it like the cross sections book i used to have. this shit was sick. the OT ships are all just kinda bland grey blocks and triangles (with the big exception of slave 1), limited by the tech of the on set model makers, but in the PT they could really go wild with the designs
>the ground vehicles looked stupid
i didnt know it was possible for someone to have an opinion this bad. impressive
>all easily forgotten
>literally mentioning designs so iconic and memorable we can all picture them by just a vague description
think again buddy
I don’t even get why the
>it’s for kids argument stop criticizing it chud!
is even being used. You can make a good movie for children that can be enjoyed by adults (land before time, fox and the hound, the lion, the witch and the wardrobe) something can be made for children and be good, they’re aren’t mutually exclusive concepts. Also prequel fans keep saying this is for children and anyone who cares is a man child so by their logic they’re man children because they’ve made half a dozen threads today seething at anyone who criticizes the prequels.
I was 9 years old when I watched phantom menace and was mad because it was for 5 year olds back then.
I was 5 years old when I watched and I was mad that it was boring. I think it was the first time I ever hated a movie and decided to do something else besides stare at the tv.
You were mad because you were filtered
You are, per George Lucas, a mental child
>it's le kids movie!
Ah yes, children find trade blockades and political intrigue absolutely riveting
They had internet for normal people back in 1999? I thought it was military only back then
Even at the beginning ARAPNET was used by academics and the government both. By 1999, email was widely used by businesses and consumers, though most people weren't posting on newsgroups, true. I remember 2000 being the year of the big push for consumers to start using AOL.
Yes, Google was a thing by 1999.
