Taika forgot Natalie Portman was in the prequels and asked her to be in his Star Wars movie
>"Natalie said to me, what do you do next? And I said 'I'm trying to work on a Star Wars thing," he concluded. "Have you ever wanted to be in a Star Wars movie?' She said, 'I've been in Star Wars movies,' I forgot about those ones."
Lucky. Most people who saw the prequels wish they could forget them too.
>forget them too
But Hollywood forces us to keep watching that piece of plywood, even though everyone wants to forget and throw out Hershlag.
Wow, it's 2013 again.
9 years difference didnt make those movies any better. Zoomies gettind old enough to create a cult following of those movies because the memes of it are funny doesnt make those movies any better either.
Nah, most people liked them at the time. Manchildren and nerds hated them because they weren’t remakes, like the sequels.
>most people liked them at the time
Sorry for destroying your fantasy
He's dead now, because of his wrong opinions
Videogames aren't art. Sorry, child
I'm from that time. While we shitted on them, we still loved them. If a prequel movie comes on while flipping through the channels, I'd probably watch it. Can't say that about the ST.
I was a kid when they came out. We liked them. They spawned tons of fun video games and toys. We liked those too. Yeah Jar Jar sucked but so did C3P0 and the Ewoks. Nobody cares.
>I was a kid when they came out.
Kys zoomer
I thought zoomers were kids born after 2000? wouldn't the guy you're replying to be a millennial?
>We liked them.
Yes, because you were a child. Adults didn't like them
I was in middle school. We did not like them.
>most people liked them at the time.
And this is how I know you weren’t alive or were too young to remember them being released.
RotS was the only one with any real word of mouth hype, I and II were constantly made fun of and shit on both by my irl friends and by contemporary reviewers/media at large.
Maybe you were old enough to have seen them in theaters and you went with your special ed class who I’m sure all loved the flashing lights and amazing dialogue, so I can understand how you have a different perspective in that case.
>grown men still watching sw
See he wasnt wrong
>every prequel was a box office hit
Sorry, your fat nerd monopoly on star wars opinions died when you shilled TFA.
The sequels did well at the box office too and they were hot garbage (somehow worse than the prequels).
You obviously weren’t old enough to form memories at the time, I was a child when they were released and saw each one in theaters because my dad was a huge Star Wars nerd, I remember making fun of them with my friends and thinking they sucked which is not easy to do with an otherwise undiscerning kid.
the phantom menance video game with the overhead perspective was really good
>most people liked them at the time
I want to believe that you're being sincere when you post this and that we've really regressed this far, but I know that you were alive when they came out, that you know they were universally shat on, and that you're using that knowledge to bait.
here's the thing: it was both
manchilds hated them but kids liked them and then grew to love Star Wars in general thanks to discovering the OT and all the vidya that came out since.
I watched the whole OT in a week thanks to reruns previous to TPM release, that is what sold me on Star Wars and at the time the prequels looked like the most epic shit ever. Then I grew up and saw them for what they were.
it'll happen with disneyshit too, sadly. we'll be seen as manchildren for not liking rey
its the memes, the vidya and the comics
This.
Watch the Plinkett reviews. Mike Stoklasa explains in detail why you should believe this.
>This. Watch the Plinkett reviews. Mike Stoklasa explains in detail why you should believe this.
Mike Stoklasa, director of Space Cop?
>HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE A GOOD MOVIE THEREFORE HE CAN'T CRITIQUE A MOVIE
Dunning Kruger effect on full display here lads.
This but unironically
wait but then show me Eberts good movie. and no I don't care that this was two different quotes
>listening to and caring about movie critics
Dunning Krueger in full effect boys.
prequelzoomers absolutely seething
Reminder all nu wars is homosexual shit
Look how much she's cringing holy shit
>I have to do this fricking movie intended for kids but watched by adults
>Natalie Portman is a brilliant respected actress who prefers serious movies
said no one ever
Star Wars AND Marvel. She's gonna be hounded by weird dorks for the rest of time. Hope she got paid well enough; I don't think I'm a good enough actor to be polite around those insufferable fandoms.
so like the star wars prequels?
He's so quirky xD
My God. The plywood is finally showing its age. Hershlag seriously looks like a 50 year old woman that's spent too much time tanning and getting facelifts and shit.
You think her face is busted? Imagine her butthole.
>Imagine her butthole.
No. I do not wish to imagine that. I drive by the county dump quite often, and that seems like a much nicer and cleaner place. I know where she's been. You can go there if you want.

I LOVE ANIME
AND MANGA
annnnd GAYMING
LUL
frick you i laughed
>milf schlag will never look at you that way
why even live
The look on her gace. I can end him now.
Prequels were based and kino
Keira Knightly should have been Padme, not Hershlag.
Wouldn't have been available for Pirates then.
maybe she was and Portman killed her off
Ah yes, the perfect person to be in charge of a star wars movie...
Proof that normies don't even remember the prequels.
The Wall always goes over, brother
pretty pathetic attempt at getting in her pants tbh
Why must ~~*they*~~ lie about literally everything, down to even the most basic anecdotes. This creep has had his head up her ass for the past three years but sure, he never knew she was in Star Wars cuz durr Disney rools prequels drool. Frick off.
I WANT TO FRICK NATALIE'S PORT SO BAD AAAAAHHHH
>She said, 'I've been in Star Wars movies,' I forgot about those ones."
Do you suppose Disney staged this to throw shade at Lucas or do you think Disney was just dumb enough to hire someone without basic knowledge of the property? Either way it's pretty shitty.
Natalie Who? I only watch Liam Nesson kinos
He used his mother's israeli name to try to get into film and his father's name (who was an artist) to try and get into art. A student film he made got recognition so he went with that.
honestly great ideas beyond just hiding ethnicity, cohen and hershlag just don't pop the same way. Tie Ka Why Tee Tee is a zinger. I would do it too if my name was Smith or something, stage names are badass
I've never seen anyone look at anyone else with more hatred
Why do people still care about this dead franchise?
no other movies to care about or talk about right now
if Cinemaphile can stop discussing Evangelion they can stop discussing the prequels, right?
>another prequel denialist
I'm adding him to "The List" alongside Mike Stupidklasa
This is either a bit on his part or a way to shill this movie. Or both. And people here are taking the bait. Everyone knows Portman was in Star Wars; it basically put her on the map.
everything is click bait and the children here gobble it up
miss when this guy did quirky indie films instead of onions capeshit
oh well that's money does to a mf
*onions
idk how that came out as onions lmao
have you tried not typing 'onions'?
