youngknowledgeseeker Rogue One is a great movie that has a lot of missed potential to classify it as not having a story is false. The issue with the story is that it is rushed to get to the third act. Jyn’s arc specifically doesn’t follow the heros journey and skips a lot. Which is a lot of the missed potential. The other charcters are meant to be static.
The prelogy is culturally a force to be reckoned with. Star Wars is a saga as a whole story which has so far 6 episodes. And maybe nine if Lucas and Favreau remake episodes 7 to 9.
Philippe Alain The ideal would be that we didn’t a sequel trilogy because the skywalker saga was over. Maybe a once off film like rogue one, but we didn’t need a sequel trilogy.
Rewatched ROTS after a decade and it was so much fun. I understood everything better than I did when I first saw it as a kid back in the early 2000s...and that ending had me crying...the duels are SO good.
So Uncivilized put it very well. Revenge of the Sith is like a Renaissance painting of Judgement Day, where the Devil makes the Messiah kill his own wife and cross swords with his own brother, and replaces his body with a machine and his face with a skull. What is the Force Awakens? It's a cash grab. It's an attempt at re-creating A New Hope to try to appeal to what Disney's perception of Star Wars fans were in 2015.
So Uncivilized brought me here too but he did it with the line "the story of the prequels is about an arrogant religion who their hands on the messiah and accidentally hand him over to the devil." Please who don't see depth in sequels, I feel aren't watching it right
When I saw Revenge of the Sith when it was first released I gasped. Because there was soooo much more going on than Anakin becoming Vader and it was heartbreaking. When I would explain why and point things out I would get a “meh” or “whatever” from people. Revenge will always be my favorite of the original 6. Never saw 7,8,9. Don’t care too.
7, 8, and 9. You’re not missing anything. They bring back Palpatine from the dead so they can have Rey defeat him instead of Anakin. Oh wait no. According to Disney, all the Jedi defeated Palpatine and became Rey. The new trilogy is a mess. Don’t watch it.
@@JamesNerdMan85yeah episode 9 ended up souring my optimistic mind with the sequels. Also bringing back palpatine wasn't even their own idea it was a trash decision they took from legends(most of post RotJ legends is hot garbage). So I won't 100% put the blame on them it would be more of a 90-10 split 90 being Disney

@@darkjediknight2923 Why is Gal playing Mara Jade? Mara is roughly Luke's age, and Gadot is 30+ years younger than Hamill. If it's set in 'children' era, Mara should be older, so pick someone like Julianne Moore. Damon as Thrawn? What? If you're doing fancasting, why not choose someone more fitting like Cumberbatch?

But if it was set 30 years out then maybe Diane Lane as Mara Jade then. Daisy Ridley comes off as very arrogant and personally I don't think she should play Luke's daughter. Someone like Naomi Scott, or Olympia Valance would be better suited and look more like the granddaughter of Padme/daughter of Luke purely going by the films we already had and trying to get a family resemblance. The Disney sequels are definitely awful, I agree with you there.

Hell, even if you take a random seasoned classical actress how has won Oscars, they come across as far more humble than the Disney sequel cast. I honestly think Naomi Scott would be decent. I actually was talking about how she looked from the Power Rangers movie (not saying that was a great movie, just going by her look from that film). She's British of mixed descent. Another option would be Olympia Valance who kinda has the look of a descendant of Padme Amidala. I also thought the Narnia actors/actresses would make for good cast members as the Solo children etc.
the prequel i didnt care for personally was the first one, phantom menace but overall, i love it as a trilogy.... Revenge of the Sith is one of my favorite of the SW....and i dont even shrug when someone disagree...
The prequels weren't the original trilogy, but they weren't THAT bad. Revenge of the Sith in particular is very good. Yes, there's some cheesy dialogue in the movie but its second half in particular is a very emotionally powerful experience. The fall of Anakin Skywalker and of the Republic is beautifully told. The Phantom Menace was fun. I did not like Attack of the Clones nearly as much. But overall, I didn't think the prequels were bad. They were certainly better than the newest Rae-centred trilogy.
Luke Skywalker is Luke Skywalker - I know. Prequels made me watch original trilogy. Then made me realize the genius of George Lucas - modern Leonardo da Vinci of our time. Everybody has a right to their opinion. I respect, support and agree. But, if you do not like prequels why are you talking about them? Simply do not watch and talk. Do not bully Hayden of Jake Lloyd. Pick another movie, grab a pop corn and enjoy life.
I adore the prequels and love her thoughtful approach to dissecting them, but how funny that she dismisses The Force Awakens without having seen it, and then condemns those who do that with Revenge of the Sith.
Well, she never 'condemned' anybody. She said so few people know what she's talking about because they gave up on the prequels long beforehand. She never attacked them for it.
And yet, without seeing it, she described it perfectly. A "contamination of (her's, Lucas's, Star War's) ideals" is a perfect descriptor of ALL Disney Star Wars.
force awakens is worse than the other two sequels, by a lot. That film irreparably destroyed the franchise and ruined many of the characters. The other two were also shit but they were nowhere near the level of atrocity that force awakens was. It was over after TFA.
Yes, obviously. By an extreme margin even. They could have at least picked Attack of the Clones which is the weakest of the prequels. ROTS is one of the best Star Wars movies. The sequel trilogy are the worst and serve as evidence that the prequel trilogy is good.
But that won't last long. The Force Awakens (and basically the entire sequel trilogy) Is like a beautiful woman without any personality deepness. She may look beautiful, but one day, she will be old, and won't have anything good anymore to be appreciated.
@@mewtwo.150 Not even a beautiful woman. It's like getting the audience drunk and getting the drunk to watch a drifter dressed in a stolen Star Wars t-shirt give a lapdance to a garbage bin. Whereas the prequels are like Jessica Alba. And the original trilogy like Catherine Zeta Jones. George's sequels would have been like Aayla Secura. And they threw it out for what? For random rude Rey. What a waste.
Revenge of the Sith was excellent. The last Jedi was also excellent and not directed by Lucas. And on top of that Jar Jar was not the problem with the prequels. It was that stupid child actor that played baby Anakin. To be fair it wasn't totally his fault but the script. .
"well written" -Luke Skywalker drinks green milk directly from space cow. -Finn and Rose talk about slavery and ride space horses instead of freeing the kids. "Well acted" -Kylo Ren's autistic screechings in Crait after being embarrassed by Luke. "Well made" -Obi Wan: "Oh I don't think so"
She can only really talk about ROTS as its own thing rather than as a piece of a larger work. Which is why she wouldn't be able to engage with TFA and TLJ, which are 100% consistent with Lucas's vision (some of it even IS Lucas's vision, and some of the aspects people hate about them are exactly Lucas's ideas lol). But, since she has no approach to Star Wars as a whole, but only ROTS, she is completely incapable of engaging those movies. She can only say "Disney bad".
It sounds like she has seen all the Lucas Star Wars movies, and explains in some of the clips online how ROTS relates to the plot of the original trilogy.
And the sequels have absolutely nothing to do with Lucas' vision, nor with what Lucas wrote for episodes 7-9. What he had planned was thrown away by Disney executives and K Kennedy, who had promised Lucas to respect what he had written. They were not even able to propose something original and coherent, with Abrams "franchise killer" on top of the list of these incompetents. It's not so easy to do as well as Lucas.
I can understand the hate Force Awakens gets, but I would never say its worse than the prequels just because they had "More Originality" and had "no Mary Sue". sure the Force Awakens has problems, but even though I do like Revenge of the Sith, I have more problems with that movie than I do with TFA. MY ISSUES WITH TFA: Lack of Originality, Rey being too good at everything, (but I still like her character) Maz Kanatas CGI, Poe's rapid explaination for how he survived the Tie Fighter crash just being lazy writing, & The Mislead marketing of having us believe that Finn would be a Jedi. MY PROBLEMS WITH ROTS: Hayden was still pretty Cringey, some of the green screen and CG animation still kinda sucked (although not as bad as the 2nd one), Chewbacca has no reason to be there, Yoda jumping is stupid, R2 still has those Rocket boosters for no reason other than to give us the cool scene where he sets 2 droids on fire, Natalie Portman is also bad, the awful Anidala Romance makes it hard to care about the two, the Mustafar battle (while Good felt more like a dance than a huge duel, The awful Palpatine and Mace Windu lightsaber fight, and you guessed it, Darth Vader's stupid fucking "Noooooo!!" so NO. I Do Not think Episode 3 is better than Episode 7. but if you think it is, then Good for You. I don't care. but Don't tell me I shouldn't feel the way I do just because you feel differently. that makes you look like a 12 year old.

-Finn and Rose talk about slavery and ride space horses instead of freeing the kids.
"Well acted"
-Kylo Ren's autistic screechings in Crait after being embarrassed by Luke.
"Well made"
-Obi Wan: "Oh I don't think so"

Both poor, just different types of poor, the former marginally less obnoxious than the latter.
The answer is no
She can only really talk about ROTS as its own thing rather than as a piece of a larger work. Which is why she wouldn't be able to engage with TFA and TLJ, which are 100% consistent with Lucas's vision (some of it even IS Lucas's vision, and some of the aspects people hate about them are exactly Lucas's ideas lol). But, since she has no approach to Star Wars as a whole, but only ROTS, she is completely incapable of engaging those movies. She can only say "Disney bad".
It sounds like she has seen all the Lucas Star Wars movies, and explains in some of the clips online how ROTS relates to the plot of the original trilogy.
The sequels are a high betrayal of everything that is Star Wars in every way.
And the sequels have absolutely nothing to do with Lucas' vision, nor with what Lucas wrote for episodes 7-9. What he had planned was thrown away by Disney executives and K Kennedy, who had promised Lucas to respect what he had written. They were not even able to propose something original and coherent, with Abrams "franchise killer" on top of the list of these incompetents. It's not so easy to do as well as Lucas.
Just like blindfolds are 100% consistent with 6/6 vision.
I can understand the hate Force Awakens gets, but I would never say its worse than the prequels just because they had "More Originality" and had "no Mary Sue". sure the Force Awakens has problems, but even though I do like Revenge of the Sith, I have more problems with that movie than I do with TFA.
MY ISSUES WITH TFA:
Lack of Originality,
Rey being too good at everything, (but I still like her character)
Maz Kanatas CGI,
Poe's rapid explaination for how he survived the Tie Fighter crash just being lazy writing,
& The Mislead marketing of having us believe that Finn would be a Jedi.
MY PROBLEMS WITH ROTS:
Hayden was still pretty Cringey, some of the green screen and CG animation still kinda sucked (although not as bad as the 2nd one), Chewbacca has no reason to be there, Yoda jumping is stupid, R2 still has those Rocket boosters for no reason other than to give us the cool scene where he sets 2 droids on fire, Natalie Portman is also bad, the awful Anidala Romance makes it hard to care about the two, the Mustafar battle (while Good felt more like a dance than a huge duel, The awful Palpatine and Mace Windu lightsaber fight, and you guessed it, Darth Vader's stupid fucking "Noooooo!!"
so NO. I Do Not think Episode 3 is better than Episode 7.
but if you think it is, then Good for You. I don't care.
but Don't tell me I shouldn't feel the way I do just because you feel differently. that makes you look like a 12 year old.
Sebastian's Mind You seem like an OT lover. Am I right?
Super Rittna yes becaues they're the films that Started the SW Franchise to begin with and because they aren't boring
Well I think the prequels are good movies, and fun watching.
Super Rittna well thats your opinion,
Bro
Thank you. Finally an OT fan that can respect a prequel lovers opinionen.
