Yeah, best laugh of my life.
You weren't even born yet, gaymaster.
It's been TWENTY FIVE YEARs (25). I'm almost 41, if you're going to troll zoomers, do it correctly.
>watch Phantom Menace several times when it came out
>packed theater every time
>people enjoying movie
>cheering loudly
>NOO EVERYONE HATED IT according to zoomy homosexuals
KEK
It's been more than 2 decades
Time to let go
>thinks zoomers existed in 1999
Kek, the absolute state of prequel fans. Leave those 2 year olds alone.
nope. you can’t blame gen z for this one. if anything, gen z is more in favor of the prequels because we grew up on them. i know you have double-digit IQ’s and anything that doesn’t make sense to you makes you instantly blame others than yourselves, but that’s just how you incels fundamentally are, isn’t it?

Prequelgays are violently moronic. Although it was mostly Gen X fans who hated the prequels, they blame zoomers for some reason.
No point arguing with them, it's like arguing with a potato.
Its not gen x gays who are always saying that prequel fans are zoomers, it's moronic sequel shills.
>Its not gen x gays who are always saying that prequel fans are zoomers
That's not what I said. Holy FRICK you are literally too stupid to talk to.
uno farto
It was a better time.
I was 8 when Phantom Menace came out and I vividly remember cheering at the beginning of the movie and dead silence after it was over.
This was the complete opposite to the special edition of ANH I saw in theaters two years earlier, where it was non stop cheers and clapping.
I saw it 6 times in the cinema
I went to see it with my then fiancee. I badgered, pleaded and bargained with her to come and see it with me until she relented. 20 minutes in, I fell asleep. She never let me get away with it but I made it up to her when we saw LotR Fellowship. THAT was a great movie. She was actually angry that Gandalf died. I had to spoil her about Gandalf to assure her.
This single scene carries not just the movie, but the entire prequel trilogy.
>bwzrmmm!
Kino
okay just going from what my experience was as a star wars fan
>born 1990, watched RotJ on VHS constantly
>saw the special editions in theater and wasn't a fan of the changes
>saw the PT in theater with my father, we both enjoyed them all very much
>kids at school loved TPM and bought a bunch of toys and merchandise
>saw TFA in theater and was disappointed
>saw Rogue One in theater and loved it
>didn't bother to see TLJ or TROS
>watched RotJ on VHS constantly
I was born in 1999 and I also did this. Jedi was my favorite of the five until I saw Sith in theaters and creamed my pants.
youre literally me
>saw Rogue One in theater and loved it
Opinion discarded
Rogue One was better if not on par with the prequels. Beat the shit out of the sequels for sure.
rogue one is worse. the acting is just as if not more terrible than tpm and all rogue one does is go REMEMBER AT-ATS????" while at least tpm made new and memorable things.
both suck but tpm and the rest of the prequels have some redeemable qualities.
>REMEMBER AT-ATS
now you're just regurgitating RLM opinions again
yeah dude no one can separately come to the same opinion
>saw the PT in theater with my father, we both enjoyed them all very much
>saw Rogue One in theater and loved it
Yet more proof that trash taste is hereditary.
The trailer gave this shot away so even as a 10 year old I thought everyone whooping and hollering was moronic
It was actually decent, certainly a lot better than all the bullshit CGI of the next two films.
Phantom Menace has always been the most interesting of the prequels. It's Biblical not just in scope, but thematically as well. The heroes journey of Obi-Wan and Anakin is suitably unlikely and mythic.
They're not good movies but TPM is the best of the bad bunch.
As someone who hates the prequels I absolutely agree. Episode 1 has a ton of problems, but it’s the only movie that’s an “adventure” and it visibly has the most real sets and props out of the three. It was also shot on film which helps the atmosphere.
I think starting Anakin off at 17-18 and rewriting the story from there to be an inverse of Luke’s journey would have made for a more competent film.
i feel like that dude they cast as Anakin in the last two movies was not a good cast. he doesn't sell it as a villain, he just doesn't have the range. it feels cringe as frick, like he's about to shoot up a school or murder a village full of sandpeople... oh wait.
I don’t think he was a good cast for reasons that aren’t sarcastic.
He needed to be friendly and likable so his turn to the dark side would have had more impact. He’s an annoying robotic piece of shit for two movies.
His journey and his character needed to mirror Luke’s, THEN invert the hero’s journey by having him give into temptation. That would have actually been kino and “rhyming poetry”.
Instead we got a character with no character development with hilariously awful dialogue that doesn’t learn or grow. He’s just an butthole that turns into a bigger butthole.
Yeah good analysis. Honestly the plot and dialogue all feels like some shit someone in highschool would write, which is really funny. George is not some stupid person. Why were those movies so dumb?
>there is no character development because i said so
His only development is physical, in that he ages. And his adult version is poorly written, with no real motivation besides being the coolest Jedi, and fricking Padme. he is an irrationally angry person the whole time he's played by Christensen.
>there is no character development because i said so
>less than a minute
you have no arguments. where is the character development?
it's ok i'm not expecting a serious rebuttal.
watch the movies again and pay attention this time
>samegayging your shit take
lol
lmao
Prequelgays are delusional. They live in a fantasy world where the prequels are good movies and are so paranoid that a majority of people hold a negative opinion they excuse anyone of agreeing with the commonly held statement that they are bad movies as being the same person conspiring against them.
Prequels are hot garbage and always have been. Just because the sequels are 999 centillion times worse doesn’t make the prequels good.
epic screenshot bro
You are seriously delusional. Thinking someone is conspiring against you to somehow baselessly besmirch the prequels is ridiculous and comical. The prequels fricking suck and they have always fricking sucked.
Why can’t you tell him what Anakin’s character development is?
Hey, can you name a single scene in the movie where Anakin and Obi-Wan are shown as “good friends”?
Can you describe their relationship?
>Can you describe their relationship?
i'm nta
their friendship is "we went on a bunch of adventures together and obliquely refer to them, but we have no chemistry on screen, bicker constantly, and actively resent each other, even though we are supposed to be the bestest of friends"
it's probably something like george lucas's marriage.
I'm going to just ballpark and guess you're In your late 40's or so and don't understand why we love the prequels so much
I’m 31. I’m the last generation that knew Star Wars as three movies. I saw the special editions in theaters and was blown the frick away. Then I went to Taco Bell so get based Taco Bell Star Wars toys including the block puzzle that would tear apart the artwork if you tried to use it.
Even as a kid, I knew the prequels were shitty. I saw all of them new. They are intrinsically shitty, ugly movies with no magic. The originals were fricking magic.
You sound really pathetic.
Not as pathetic as someone who thinks the prequels are good movies.
no he is 100% right. the original movies have a quality that is entirely un-self-aware. it makes the OT feel authentic, and fun, it's a full throated adventure
the prequels are a mess of original storytelling, evitable references to the OT, really cringey moments from Christensen, boring shit about the ever antagonistic "Trade Union" or whatever they were called, and a bunch of incoherent action that just happens for reasons that feel inorganic and contrived.
It doesn't help that the performances are muted, bordering on catatonic (i'm looking at you Christopher Lee). no one has any charisma, except Samuel Jackson, who is a fricking meme character.
>the originals are a mess of original storytelling, evitable references to flash gordon, really cringey moments from Hamill, boring shit about the ever antagonistic "Empire" or whatever they were called, and a bunch of incoherent action that just happens for reasons that feel inorganic and contrived.
It doesn't help that the performances are muted, bordering on catatonic (i'm looking at you Alec Guinness). no one has any charisma, except Anthony Daniels, who is a fricking meme character.
lol ok thats pretty good. you win.
the prequels still suck.
Sam Jackson has charisma IRL, he completely foregoes this in the prequels as Mace. I’d go as far as saying he’s the least charismatic tertiary character in the prequels.
The beast master crying over the Rancor in RotJ has more character than ANYONE in the prequels.
It’s unbelievable how stupid and shitty the prequels are. George introduced so many characters and did nothing with them. They just exist to fight.
>The beast master crying over the Rancor in RotJ has more character than ANYONE in the prequels.

Based common sense poster.
You were filtered
Do you have hot keys on your keyboard to automatically generate your responses? You make a bad case for zoomers but I know you aren’t all like that.
Someone who is this simple minded would love the prequels.
not as kino as this moment:
the audience lost their minds when this happened
That's not the podrace
I was 14 when this came out, there will never be anything like it
>everybody knew star wars, even people who hadn't seen it knew so much due to cultural osmosis
>we had no idea the trilogy would be a letdown, it was just: imagine if star wars had modern day blockbuster graphics
hype train was fully off the rails, if this didn't give birth to waiting days on line to see a new movie release, it MUST have pioneered the rise of it being culturally acceptable to dress up as movie characters to see a film instead of it being something only the most autistic nerds would do
I think as the film was happening I was vaguely aware it was "weird" but I couldn't quite tell why it was bad, but then the lightsaber fight, in the power room, with those visuals and that music, basically redeemed the whole movie
People were leaving buzzing and excited about the next two, upon closer inspection it would be exposed as a farce of a film, and the rest of the prequel trilogy is so bad it's taught in film school as an example of what not to do, but that day, man, that day was special
Zoomies are so fricked, their cultural movie touchstones are dressing up in suits for the Minions movie, and the Barbenheimer experience. Woe is they
The prequels will always be kino.
Mike will always be a fat homosexual.
Prequeljeets have destroyed this board. Their terrible opinions and ugly, misspelled, shit-smelling posts have attracted other Jeets who have now made this their home.
Cinemaphile in 2024 is a sad state of affairs, and prequeljeets are entirely to blame.
One good scene in a categorically awful movie
Is Maul's penis red? and spiky
>George reign supreme
>Prequelgays total victory
What a timeline
