I'm convinced red plebbit media hates George Lucas as a coping mechanism for their own failure and mediocrity.
>George Lucas got lucky
>it was saved in the edit
> he's a moron
by denying his talent it makes them feel better. Yes, the people who made "space cop" actually think George Lucas just got lucky. Somehow, the world would know their talents if they got their lucky break.
George lucas is an American Hero. He won awards with his student films. defined genres, created ground breaking special effects technology, Created Indiana Joens. He directed American Graffiti when he was 28.
The pod race scene from episode 1 is like 25 years old and still looks puts most blockbusters to shame.
People still deny George Lucas' immense capability. Can you imagine essentially running your own studio, special effects company, the massive business involved, and still directing movies? The burden would be overwhelming. Try running a small business.

Eh Chris Stuckmann. The last fully objective movie critic on YouTube
I don't think you know what objective means. Because there is absolutely no possible way art critique can be objective.

Oh sure all that stuff's bullshit and are mostly just fan rumors from the mid-2000s that have been repeated so often they're now just taken as fact on the internet without question even though all 3 of those are provably wrong (except maybe the luck thing but frick, by that logic even frickin' Mozart was lucky.) Problem is those fan rumors exist because his fans were trying to rationalize why Attack of the Clones was so shitty. Because it is a shitty movie.
Dude is low-key genius, I agree, modern film-making literally would not be the same without him. But frick me, that still doesn't make the prequels good. Yeah the revisionism is bullshit, and I hate how it's spread (it's mostly due to this shitty fricking book called Secret History of Star Wars btw - I wouldn't blame RLM or anyone else, that book is the main source for almost all the revisionist Lucas bullshit) but it exists because people were trying to explain why the prequels were bad and why some of the Special Edition changes were so baffling. Once you realize that a lot of it makes sense.
>But frick me, that still doesn't make the prequels good.
the prequels are better than the original trilogy. it was made for millennials, who were like 10 when phantom menace came out. those same millenials were teens in episode 2(like anakin) and were around 18 when episode 3 came out. funny how that works out. Yeah, millennials were the biggest demo. who do you think bought the toys? then we identified with anakin as he grew as an angsty teenager struggling to fight his way in the world.
Yeah they came out when I was a kid and I thought they were kinda shit then too. Actually, no. I liked Phantom Menace despite some boring bits. But I remember watching Attack of the Clones and even as a kid I thought it was a bit rubbish. The games and the toys were great though, not gonna disagree there,
It was the opposite for me, as I kid I liked Clones and RotS but Phantom Menace was painfully boring and I rarely ever watched it. Ironically today I'd say it's the most competent of the prequels, albeit still the least rewatchable
You've got to remember. 80% of the people talking up tht prequels here are trolling and the other 20% are schizos
See
George is enough of a revisionist to come off as a hack
>George is enough of a revisionist
Is he though? I don't mean revising his movies, that's well known and infamous. I mean are his statements really that revisionist? Cause you can find quotes of his from back in the 70s and they mostly line up with what he was saying 30 years later. A lot of the "George is a revisionist" stuff comes from people taking George's words way out of context and turning into outrage porn (and a lot of that initially came from that Secret History of Star Wars book I mentioned - in fact that's the entire thesis of the book - except it's a load of bullshit)
>The pod race scene from episode 1 is like 25 years old and still looks puts most blockbusters to shame.
Nah like most things in the prequels it looked like utter shit then, it looks like utter shit now.
Nah a lot of Phantom Menace actually looks alright. The CG characters have definitely aged the most but there's still a lot of real sets and practical effects used as well as the fact that they were still shooting on film so it still looks alright. (Annoyingly George Lucas did a George Lucas and changed the color timing to make it look more in line with the other 2 prequels starting with the blu-ray so it now looks worse than it did on release but whatever.) The pod-race is (I think) almost entirely CG but it still holds up pretty well.
Now Attack of the Clones on the other hand is a goddamn visual nightmare and people were even complaining about it at the time.
Every day you live in rage over them and they don't think about you at all
You will never be able to outgrow your misery
It will always, always hurt, and you can't do a think about it.
>Every day you live in rage over them
RLM fingers typed this post. lol.
>just announcing he's right
Why? Seriously? You ARE that damaged? It's not just a meme? holy frick
Star Wars fans ruined Star Wars.
They think about George Lucas all the time.
Is it possible to think they're morons but also think Rick Worley (who made the video your image is from OP) is also a moron? (Specifically the Lucas dick-riding kind.) I don't think George Lucas is a moron though, he just sucks at writing dialogue
anon, that IS rick worley you're responding to
I'm not that fond of the prequels I just don't understand why they and so many other boomers/genXers act like they're the worst thing ever when Disney and the MCU ushered in a far worse type of blockbuster.
I think the prequels can almost be looked at as a sneak peak into the anger at revivals and reboots that began pissing people off as time went on
Yeah but RLM and these other nerd critics actually defend Disney when they rape beloved properties.
Blaming the spectators for the circus
You showed up tossing knives and spitting fire
We expected a plausible and competent story about how Anakin turned to the dark side. The establishment of a great Jedi hero, and then his tragic fall.
Any other flaws could have been forgiven if we got that. Jar Jar, Midicholoreans, Spinning, Sand, Roger Roger. All that kiddie shit would have been accepted.
Instead we got "I had a bad dream, time to kill all my best friends and children."
That falls SQUARELY on George, the sole writer of the story.
You missed the part when Anakin has BPD.
Sorry you're aren't media literate enough.
>he doesn't understand that Sheev used the force to implant dreams of Padme dying in Anakin's subconscious to help turn him to the dark side
ngmi
>i had a bad dream
And the jedi not freeing the slaves on Tatooine
And him only barely being accepted as a jedi.
And them letting hos mom die because they let her stay in slavery.
And them not letting him be a master.
And using him as a spy.
Not that having a vision of your wife dying and being told to let it happen isn't a good reason to hate the jedi by itself.
>And the jedi not freeing the slaves on Tatooine
Was literally never mentioned or hinted ever. Anakin didn't give a shit about Tatooine.
>And him only barely being accepted as a jedi.
He was accepted, and it was never brought up ever again in II or III.
>And them letting hos mom die because they let her stay in slavery.
Anakin himself didn't give a shit until he started getting bad dreams. He'd been a Jedi for a decade at that point. And his mother's death was unrelated to slavery. She was freed, and she married. The entire slavery subplot is completely fricking useless and was never brought up ever in II or III, and none of his choices in III were informed or motivated by his slavery past. None of that was in the films.
>And them not letting him be a master.
For good reason.
>And using him as a spy.
There was a war going on.
>Not that having a vision of your wife dying and being told to let it happen isn't a good reason to hate the jedi by itself.
Maybe if you are a subhuman 90 IQ moron, that is.
So, are you coming up with a bunch of headcanon, or is it some "lore" from one of those gay ass comic books or novels you read as a child? Everything you have said is either moronic bullshit, or flat out wasn't in the movies themselves. Prequelgays are so fricking moronic, it's hilarious.
>Was literally never mentioned or hinted ever.
It's the first thing Anakin says when he learns Qui-Gon is a jedi. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m7Jn2UDFmxk&pp=ygUVUGhhbnRvbSBtZW5hY2UgZGluaW5n
>He was accepted, and it was never brought up ever again in II or III.
The theme of general suspicion caries on to them refuse to make him a master.
>Anakin himself didn't give a shit until he started getting bad dreams.
Because he was ordered not to by the jedi.
Fair point that she was freed before dying though. I had forgotten that. I do still think that it matters that she was left on tatooone and he wasn't allowed to keep track of her - he didn't even know she wasn't with Watto
>for good reason
I guess. I don't think it's unreasonable for Anakin as a character to not feel that way
>there was a war going on
Sure, but Anakin didn't want to join a war against his friend/mentor.
All of these things are in the movies.
>It's the first thing Anakin says when he learns Qui-Gon is a jedi.
And it was never brought up again. Ever. It was never hinted at, ever. It never informed any of his actions or motivations in II or III, ever.
>The theme of general suspicion caries on to them refuse to make him a master.
Completely irrelevant. He wasn't made a master, because Palpatine put him on the council and tried to take control of it. Obi-Wan flat out told him that. You are making shit up.
>Because he was ordered not to by the jedi.
Headcanon, lol. Making shit up again.
>I had forgotten that.
You forgot many things, and came up with a bunch of others. Such is a sad life of a prequelgay: to perform insane mental gymnastics in order to find enjoyment in George's terrible writing.
>Sure, but Anakin didn't want to join a war against his friend/mentor.
Anakin is a moron and is written like a fricking moron. The Jedi know there is a Sith Lord in the Republic, who is controlling both sides of the war. And when it turns out that, boy oh boy, that Sith Lord was Palpatine all along, Anakin just doesn't give a shit about it, even though he tried to kill Padme himself multiple times in TPM and AOTC. But hey, Anakin himself choked his pregnant wife later, lol.
The relationship between Anakin and Palpatine was also not developed at all. They had like 2 encounters in TPM and AOTC:
>We will watch your career with great interest.
>webm related PlayStation 2 cutscene.
We are TOLD that Palpatine is great mentor and friend to Anakin, but it was never properly developed. Those movies suck ass, stop trying to defend them.
>past events can't inform later actions unless Anakin explicitly looks into the camera and says "i'm doing this because of my childhood"
Epic. I can understand not catching it the first time you watch it, but when you know Anakin is going to turn, his first experience with the jedi being disappointment that they aren't going to save everyone is obviously important.
>why?
Because him wanting to save Padme and being told not to is the key personal conflict that drives his turn.
>Headcanon, lol. Making shit up again.
The jedi are taken away from their parents as children and forbidden from having close personal attachments.
>Anakin is a moron
Ok? He obviously chose wrong. That's the point of the film. But when he was choosing, the choice was between his mentor who was promising to help his wife and the jedi who wanted her to die and their political system that didn't work.
He has plenty of motivation to not side with the jedi.
Every nonsensical plot point was masterfully dissected by the RLM reviews, which brings us full circle. Zoomies don't have the attention span to watch the RLM review videos because they use ChatGPT to write all their schoolwork
>There was a war going on
They asked him to spy on the head of state of their own side, that's very different from spying on the enemy
Sunk cost fallacy, the Black folk in the OP's image built their career on shitting on the prequels.
Nothing validates an insecure 105 IQ middler more than a life of critique
Prequels are shit and always will be.
Sequels being terrible doesn't make Prequels retroactively good.
Disney Wars being terrible doesn't make Prequels retroactively good.
Mechandise comics, toys, games, novels and cartoons slop don't retroactively make the films good. The films still remain garbage, and no derivative material can ever fix that.
Star Wars was a trilogy of neat movies from '77-83. That's it. Everything else is hot dogshit, creatively bankrupt, soulless, derivative slop.
>Ewoks are gay!
Hypocrite.
Theyre just jaded with industry, with times and with themselves.
Lucas is just a big funny target, hes like a butt of the joke to them, they use him as part of their joke rutine to many times to stop now. Hes their meme.
RLM are turning into doomers from quite some time, im not suprised but its less fun to watch, but still they can make me laugh from time to time. Take a mike as example, he failed as a moviemaker, stuck to booze and got bogged down, now all he have is his review shtick. Its depresing even if it brings him money.
Wasted time and opportunities can really take a tool on you.
Also, they still are way better than drinker or any other tuber review person, but it dont mean that much.
Their fans don't care about their taste in movies anymore, they just watch for the parasocial friendship simulator.
I honestly can't believe we're here debating zoomers whose first star wars movies were the prequels they watched along with Blues Clues
Zoomers don't give a frick about Star Wars.
Yet Jay is living his best life fricking prostitutes and chocking them to an inch of their lives for $350 and a fentanyl baggie.
Is he not afraid of STDs?
Lucas got lucky
>>it was saved in the edit
>> he's a moron
These are all true, Georgie boy. Name a single good movie you made that wasn't New Hope or Empire.
watch the RLM reviews
Why do you care?
Do you actually watch these gays?
You only need to look American Garffiti and THX 1138 to realize, that Lucas was also skilled. Perhaps not the greatest director, but certainly better than mediocre. He had vision and skills to capture it.
Sure, in Hollywood you need luck as well, but Lucas also had skills and vision to back it up. If it had been only luck, there would not have been Lucasfilm.
I'm convinced you're a seething zoomer
Didn't this guy make a video defending the Special Edition? That automatically invalidates any opinions he has
