Here's the truth: almost no one hated the prequels before the Internet told them to.
gnc623 I think you're talking out of your rear
Yup. Everyone had to get aboard the hype (hate) train
@Vincent 2099 The fact that you think my comment is ridiculous makes it obvious you're one of those who got swept up in the prequel hate hype. You just jumped on a train. If you genuinely hate the prequels, that's totally fine. You're entitled to your opinion, just make sure it's your own. But I remember when these movies came out...there was no mainstream hate for these movies until years after their premieres. And even then, the Internet sensationalized the hate to make you think there was much more of it than there actually was. Go and look up the reviews for all three of these movies. None of them are bad by any means. In fact, compared to most movies, they're good and Revenge of the Sith has excellent ratings, by both audiences and critics. But if you listened to the Internet about these movies, you would think they had anywhere from 0% - 30% ratings. Again, you don't like them, fine, but don't delude yourself into thinking these movies are universally hated because they're not...in fact, more people like them than not.
@Justin Simpson Definitely.
gnc623 Not really, my parents that went to the first screening say that the whole crowd was disappointed
Here's a great win almost no one catches: The children's chorus during the end ceremony are singing the Emperor's Theme. But sped up and shifted into a major key so it's almost unrecognizable. John Williams, you sly sly dog...
Wait.... where can I find this?
GOOD LORD MAN I NEVER KNEW! WOW!
There's also footage of the n64 pod race game
This is why John Williams is the master composer
OH GOD YOU'RE RIGHT
"Ewan McGregor's voice is so silky." xD He's not wrong though.
Any movies where he does a Southern accent?
It’s because he’s Scottish
Can’t believe he didn’t give darts mauls therapist voice a win
@@sambridgers9543 somewhat in birds of prey
@@HkPrima Ah.
No, it's not face blindness. Their own mothers couldn't tell Keira Knightly and Natalie Portman apart when they were in full costume and makeup.
I thought of that same thing, and came to the comments to see if anyone else did too. (Here, have a gold star!)
I'm pretty sure I've heard Keira or Natalie say in an interview they themselves couldn't tell which one was on screen.
According to online trivia, when Portman and Knightley had the full makeup applied, even their own mothers could not tell who was who, which cemented the casting choice. It's not you ;)
I honestly don't get how people can't tell them apart... their teeth are different, same as their eyes, eyebrows, noses and face shape. They look alike, but not to an extinct that I can't distiguish them... when I first saw the film I immediatly knew they were two people...
I didn't know that was Kira Knightly, but yeah, its clear she's not Portman.
@@lookingforwookiecopilot yeah same here.
@Jack Handy Actually, they confirmed themselves that one day after shooting, one of their mum's came to pick them up and nearly took the wrong girl home. I can't remember which one it was (think it was Keira) but the clip of her saying on Graham Norton is on youtube.
I watched this as a kid so I was really confused when it was revealed that the Queen had a double that dressed up for her. I thought that meant she had a clone running around.
"i know he comes back in some non-canon stuff" his return in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars tv series is canon and he becomes a very important character in the mythos.
Not to mention Rebels, which is canon and even ties into Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Plus solos ending
@@watermelonz9453 yea I didnt see solo until after I posted it thanks for having my back
Ashley Engleman no problem
Which sadly means obi wan kills maul before episode 4
Lucas told Ian McDermid "Think of your actual face as the mask that Palpatine always wears." That's just perfect directorial advice.
I see the flaws in the prequels but I don’t think they’re as bad as people are making it out to be.
Musical Comic 69 Yeah same. I don’t think it’s a secret “masterpiece” and I don’t even this it’s amazing. But, they’re enjoyable if you look at them as what they are, enjoyable flawed movies.
Best star wars movies i think. Anakin killed the roles. Kid anakin and adult
@@Glitch.-_-. okay let’s not get too far away. The original were a lot better(especially The Empire Strikes Back).
They have their problems but are definetely enjoyable and worth watching. Most of them are actually much better upon closer inspection, but not everyone is watching these movies looking for the good. Lots of people look for the bad and it ruins the experience.
Same. I love all three trilogies, and while the Prequels are objectively (i.e. referring to commonly accepted standards of good storytelling, acting, etc) the weakest of the bunch, I don't think they're anywhere near as bad as the "George Lucas ruined my childhood" crowd make them out to be. And subjectively, I adore them for how magical they were when I was a child.
Um, Maul coming back is canon, Clone Wars is totally canon. :)
Better than the films too.
Exactly. To quote Cosmonaut Variety Hour, “CLONE WARS IS THE BEST SH*T YOU’VE NEVER SEEN.”
@@DJXelto1997 lmao a fellow cosmonaut fan and clone wars fan, i feel less alone now
@@chaostia66t25 Yes it is! It's cannon
it wasn't when it first came out..it only became canon when disney bought star wars
I like the prequels. They're actually what got me into Star Wars.
Same
Jaina Solo same
I enjoy the prequels as well, I don't know why they were given such a bad press (ok maybe they weren't as good as the originals but they were still great)
Same here!
Me too idk why fans criticize the prequels shame on them
one of the most ridiculous things about when I actually saw The Phantom Menace in theaters is that everybody was clapping and cheering when the movie was over and it wasn't because they were excited than we was over, but it was actually because they thought the movie was actually good. Just all of a sudden after that people decide to just hate the movie and then everybody decide to hate the movie because that was the popular thing to do.
I don't think the phantom menace is great, but I have to say I am quite entertained by the movie.
People enjoyed the prequals before the internet made everyone
Absolutely. This happened when I went too. Everybody was going nuts over it. (This happened with Green Lantern too. Yes, it has flaws, but people were extremely excited by it, then it came out and some really popular internet personality talked about how horrible it was, and no one has taken it seriously since). I still think it's great stuff.
The line about Darth Maul returning in non-canon stuff hurts. I know he's well aware of it by now, but The Clone Wars is not only canon, but goddamn spectacular. I think it's my favorite thing I've seen from the franchise so far, though obviously it's not alone at the top.
To add another possible win, I'd like to point out one scene of 'realism' displayed in this film, and it's one of my favorite parts in world building.
Shortly after the brief encounter with Maul on Naboo, someone asks Young Skywalker if he is ok, and his response is "...I'm cold."
This may not mean much to alot of people, but the kid literally spent his entire life, till this point, on a desert planet with two suns...this is his FIRST time being in space...and the kid is cold.
And metaphorically, it's the first time he's been so far apart from the warmth of his mother.
Try to remember how cold a desert night can be. It may not have been his first experience with the cold.
It COULD also be because of his encounter of Darth Maul.Kind of unlikely but it happens to others when they encounter Sith.
@@stickerino that's what the shelters are for numbnuts. No one goes to the Sahara desert worried about how cold it will be.
I noticed that to. I was really impressed with the detail in that.
I don’t understand why people hate this movie so much. I loved it as a kid and still do as an adult.
this movie was amazing! all 3 films were great... these last 3 star wars films that just came out are the real trash ... jj abrhams needs to be removed from film making
From what I can make out the major reasons people hate the Phantom Menace in particular is the poor acting, the political talks and Jar Jar.
I admit the acting isn't perfect but it personally doesn't bother me that much.
I agree the political talks aren't the most exciting part of the movie but they do show us how the Republic is growing corrupt and how Palpatine is manipulating events from behind the scenes.
Yeah, I really can't stand Jar Jar at all, he's not very funny and his voice is really annoying.
Other than that I love this movie, it's got stunning visuals, a great score and one of the best lightsaber duels in the entire star wars canon!
@@abthedragon4921 Well said, I didn't care for Jar Jar as a kid or as an adult. Film would have been better without him.
@@acea44
everyone has their own type of humor. For you the film would have been better (or not, we can't tell) without him, for me maybe not.
i think for a lot of people, especially the kids who grew up on the OT in the 80s & 90s, and who formed the core of the PT cinema audience when it released, they were comparing their rose tinted memories of the original trilogy, seen though a childs eyes, with a more objective, adult view on the PT, and they had almost impossible standards for those flims to reach.
its intresting how much better they are viewed now, after the sequel triolgy, as people who grew up on the PT are now seeing their beloved star wars getting "Ruined" by new directors.

“Perhaps the archives are incomplete”
That’s not really something to win

@@tomreed2417you must not know how to tell jokes
I actually really like the story being about trade, it grounds the Starwars universe in reality as fighting wars over taxes and trade routes is absolutely something we would do and have done on earth; so it makes sense these basic issues any advanced society would be dealing with would carry over into the entire galaxy.
Also something I picked up on as a win is when Obi-Wan and Qui Gon bow to the council after their meeting, Obi-Wan bows quite deeply, whereas Qui Gon barely nods. Just another detail emphasising your win of how the two view the council.
What about when they're fighting in the forcefield room and Obi-Wan redeploys his lightsaber before the forcefields lower while Quai Gon continues to kneel. Just a demonstration of patience showing that Obi-Wan does have more to learn.
To be fair, Obi-Wan is a Padawan and Qui-Gon is a Master; their bows wouldn't be equally low regardless of their politics.
I wish Qui Gon had a longer role in star wars. He is the only jedi who didnt agree with the jedi all the wayv(he is also my favourite green lightsaber yielding jedi)
Sad Coleman Trebor voices
What?
Watch the Clone Wars cartoon, season 6. He's actually the key figure in the deepest spiritual realization that the Jedi have had in countless generations. IMHO, despite it being layered with his own sense of failure and depression, Luke is philosophically a follower of Qui Gon in TLJ.
Sorry about this , but *wielding
Yeilding means giving up
My 2nd fav green saber jedi my 1st is kit fisto

I'm old enough to have seen RotJ on theater (and marked me for EVER), and when TPM came out I went all happy to see it. And dude, I LOVED IT. Every time I hear the starting notes of Duel Of The Fates I get goose bumps. :D
Have a Confession Bear: I actually liked the politics of the prequel trilogy, it is a brilliant set of political moves shown to us to serve as a warning.
the11382 agreed i love every aspect of the chancellors plan.
the11382
I very much agree. Also the way that the trade federation arent "bad guys", just a major faction in politics with a lot of power, and the war isnt just "there", it escalates from a set of disagreements and skirmishes.
They are made even better when you watch the animated series (which is canon) because you get to see each and every step that the chancellor makes in order to obtain more power
A warning that business's influence on the government will be so strong, business corporations will have their own representatives and senators.
It seemed so obvious and avoidable until recent real-life events...
It's so refreshing to see something that doesn't mindlessly shit on the prequels.
I never mindlessly shit on them. Every time I've ever shit on them it has been totally justified and backed by cogent analysis.
Ratio Tile-Section Raito General! You is really a day of brave!
Alot of the reason i like the prequels more than the OT is because i grew up watching the prequels and im sure thats why other people like them as well
Ratio Tile section ratio general!
Just cuz people have some criticisms of a movie you love, doesn't make it mindless shiting
I remember when I was 12, I saw the trailer for the revenge of the Sith on TV. That trailer was stuck in my mind 3 years later I watched ep 1,2 and 3 and was blow away. I lived in a small town in India, with limited access to foreign films, luckily I never knew the entire hate for the prequels. All I can see is it was made by people who loved their characters and story.
When I watched this for the first time with my sister on TV we had trouble remembering each character's name so each got a nickname. Obi-wan was "the youngster" and Kui-gon was "the hairy one" but my favourite is Darth Maul's. We called him "Devil's cousin" and laughed each time he appeared, just because of this nickname!
I always thought it was interesting how everyone seems to miss the part when they say that "there haven't been any sith in a 1000 years". Seems meaningless until you consider that the oldest jedi at the time is Yoda who is only around 900 years old. This means that nobody in the prequels had any real life experience or encounters with the sith. The sith were essentially looked at by most like a scary myth. like a boogie man used to keep younglings from misbehaving. The equivalent would be us talking about vampires or rasputin and their legends aren't even 1000 years old yet.
The boy who cried "Sith"
I agree to an extent, but remember that the Jedi fought numerous bloody and prolonged wars against the Sith; they were sworn enemies, and when the Jedi finally triumphed, it was a huge deal for the entire Galaxy. Yes, the Sith and much of their lore fell into legend in the thousand years that followed, but the Jedi Temple contained many surviving Sith artefacts and forbidden knowledge, so it's not like the Jedi were completely ignorant of them. Rather, over the centuries they became complacent and arrogant, thinking the Sith were extinct and that they couldn't return without them knowing. They underestimated their ancient adversary and paid the ultimate price.
Damm, didn't know that Vlad and Rasputin were sith lords.
TimmyNoThumbz That may be true, but it's not genuine combat experience against someone else of comparable caliber. Killing regular thugs who aren't force users is different from a genuine sith Lord like Darth Maul who has been learning combat and force use since the cradle.
SIXXERDUDE yeah which is why also The Jedi became lax and just too comfortable with their power and status.
Maul's return is 100% canon. Clone wars really improved the prequel era quite a bit. It even made me like medichlorians.
I like hearing someone say what you said about Lucas in the end. I feel like people give him too much of a hard time.
What I remember of the Phantom Menace was theaters full of cheering fans both before and after the film. All this "It ruined the series" nonsense didn't start up until the Internet hate machine began churning.
Was Phantom Menace the best movie ever? Hell no.
But it was fun. And it added so much world building to the Star Wars Universe.
If anything I've always considered Attack of the Clones to be the worst one.... and thats mostly because it feels like Anakin's plot is too rushed. The detective Obi-Wan plot is excellent.
Midichlorians were never that bad to begin with. They don't explain the force, just what makes Jedi force sensitive while everyone else isn't.
Meirstein
Pretty much.
Theres an arc with Yoda in the last season of Clone Wars that delve further into the medichlorian mythos that makes it a cool blend of magic and microbiology.
TheLoreSeeker Unfortunately, you're correct. :( Maul should have stayed dead. Maybe someday they'll fix it in retcon, but I'm not optimistic.

So far I've enjoyed his plotlines.
Vindictive Sith Warrior out for revenge on his former masters and the Jedi who destroyed him.
Its good stuff.
This is one of those few TH-cam comments that I agree with everything in it 100%.
you missed the "theres always a bigger fish" quote
and just the duel of the fates music. best soundtrack in all 11 movies
Phantom Menace is the first Star Wars movie I ever watched, when I was in either 6th or 7th grade, and it’s one of my favorites. I love Jar Jar. I know most people don’t but eh, he’s funny
Same.
It wasn't the first Star Wars film I ever saw, but I loved this movie (and Jar Jar).
I liked him too and I was under the impression a lot of children were quite fond of him too.
Exactly! That’s the point! Does every single character of a movie have to be important to be good? Of course not!
Extra Wins: The little signs of Anakin's arc
- His angry response to Padme calling him a slave
- His vindictive responses to Sebulba demeaning him for being a slave
- His talk about dreams indicating both his power fantasy of being a Jedi and his compassion for the other slaves
- His strong attachment to Padme and his mother because they are beautiful, kind things in his world of sand and slavery
- His desire to explore, because he's been stationary for most of his life, hearing stories from those who aren't
- His reverence of Jedi, which will be challenged as the movies go on (Kinda like 'Last Jedi')
- His 'feel, don't think' wins in both the pod race and the space battle
- The lingering question of whether or not he's motivated by compassion for others or the selfish desire to protect what makes his own life better
The Pied Bagpiper For a long time I saw his - although justified - hatred for Sebulba as a very early sign of what he would become and I was never taken seriously. I’m in peace now.
@@LeoDeCrescenzo #PrequelSolidarity
Don't ever mention The Last Jedi in my presence again.
@@ViciousAlienKlown Are you talking about the second best Star Wars movie after Empire? Because yeah, there's a lot of parallels between the two with both Qui-Gon and Luke questioning their Jedi faith.
@@Gingrnut LMAO The Last White Guy is not only the worst Star Wars movie but the worst sci fi movie ever.
Liam Neesen is always a win. Ewan McGregor is always a win. Frank Oz is always a win.
But he wasnt killing ANYONE in the whole movie.
Certain things in Star Wars are always a win, regardless of prequel status.
@@Blasted2Oblivion There was always a chance he could kill someone in any given scene. That's a win.
Abouisly Frank Oz is always a win because he's works for the Jim Henson company

Love the pod racer sound design, it’s like a spaceship sound mixed with formula one car sounds
I was 6 years old when this film came out and I loved it. To this day, people have always laughed when I say I love the Phantom Menace so thank you for this positive perspective. I feel validated and so does 6 year old me 🥲
Say what you want about the prequels, as a '91 millenial scumbag, Episode 1 made me a Star Wars fan. I never would have watched the original trilogy if it wasn't for Episode 1.
BetterCallConnolly I grew up with episode I.
As a '93 millennial I agree, until I saw this with my mom and younger brother I only remember briefly seeing the training scene on the Falcon from A New Hope when it was on TV either because from the VHS or it was aired, but never thought much about the movie or the rest of the franchise until I saw the prequels. After seeing The Phantom Menace my parents bought a lego set, the visual dictionary, a poster, and a lightsaber for my brother and I. The only reason that I got interested in Star Wars at 5, making it a lifelong love was because of Episode I.
I'm in a bit of a weird spot. I was born in 91 myself, but the original trilogy made me a star wars fan before the special editions even came out.
Born in 95 and grew up with the prequel trilogy. I only saw the originals like 10 years later. The prequels have major problems, but a lot of the hate is by much older people viewing the prequels with nostalgia goggles
Exactly the same here bro...
I don't hate The Phantom Menace. I don't necessarily like it, but I don't think it's nearly as bad as a lot of people make it out to be.
Hub Pie yeah
Hub Pie yeah it is just the weak link
Extremely confused King one weak link can break a chain
I agree with you there
Hub Pie Same
I remember watching the first duel and thinking "huh, wonder why the evil dude's lightsaber handle is a lot longer than usual"
I've also always enjoyed Maul opening the door behind him by using the force to smash the control panel with debris.
I still get chills when the doors open on Naboo and Maul is standing there menacingly while duel of the fates is playing.
The Maul duel is one of the best scenes ANY movie has ever had. The editing and long cuts make it far superior to most fight scenes today. Nowadays you need to slow down a film to see half of what happens in the super fast cutting. The choreography maybe the best in any fight scene ever. The music (duel of the fates) is BEYOND EPIC! The tension when Obi Wan is trapped beyond the laser wall, skyrockets. The middle of the fight when Qui-Gon kneels to meditate. The second the wall opens, he attacks Maul like a lion. It's truly epic, all of it.
The Last Jedi had the worst lightsaber battle ever in contrast. You coukd see the bad guys/ stuntmen waiting to attack in the throne room. Many more problems with that movie but the fight scene was terrible.
@@ViciousAlienKlown Watch AT AT's review of TLJ's fight on TH-cam. It opened my eyes.
I would put it second behind anakin vs obi wan
@@spicysnowman8886 Fair enough , both are certainly amazeballs :)
Yeah but the characters dont have much (none) up to that point so we dont have any reason to care about them.
Glad to see I’m not the only one who enjoyed the prequels
Good sir, I see you need a medic bag
I also like the prequels!
I think the issue people had with the prequels are that they were hyped for them as the first Star Wars films in almost 20 years, so when they ended up being slightly less good than the originals people became disappointed, a feeling which stewed inside them and made them remember their viewing experience as being worse than it actually was and cementing their mind's view of the films as awful.
I'm watching the films in chronological order at the moment and I've really enjoyed the prequels.
Starkiller685 some hated the prequels, but not us
Not us
I still think they overdid Jar-Jar in Phantom Menace, plus the whole Anakin/Padme subtle romance in AOTC was really full of cheesy dialogue. Beyond that though the Prequels weren't terrible at all
TPM is a warm hug to me, and the Prequel I truly enjoy.
I mean, the "non-canon" stuff that Darth Maul comes back in is actually canon, since the Clone Wars TV series is canon.....👉👈
That's a bold move there Cinemawins
But then again I'm not the type of guy that hate the prequels
Redem10 I'm the same, I enjoy all of the star wars movies.
Redem10 Episodes 1-7. The saga is great
Agreed. I was raised on the whole saga. I didn't even consider the flaws until last year... My personal favorite episode is a tie between 3 & 6
Redem10 same. I love all 6 movies. But I think Episode 2 might be my least favorite at this point.
Episode two some EPIC moments though. It had that cool 'zero sound effect' sound effect with those Slave-1 bombs, Anakin's dual wielding lightsaber battle and THE most visually epic lightsaber battle in the franchise to date...Yoda VS Dooku
I'll be honest the whole political side of the prequels made the Universe seem so much more expansive and interesting the political side doesn't make it interesting but it makes it feel bigger and more like a grand universe. that's why I like the Prequels the universe seems so much bigger than the original trilogy
And I think that putting little focus on It was the right move because it kept that feeling of vastness while also keeping us interested 😁
You know how people should view it. An example...look at the space ships in the prequels compared to the OT. They are all polished and new while in the OT they look old. That references that in the prequels the industry was better. While when Vader was created everything began to fall down. That's why we don't see much politics in the OT, because politics don't exist anymore as much as before. Lucas knew what he was doing, sadly people can't figure out simple things like that. I also like to mention that the dialogue between Padme and Anakin is cringy for a purpose. The prequels were not represented as modern times, but rather classical times. Hundreds of years ago people who were in love were talking kind of cringy. Also being first time in love and in a relationship after never actually learning about those things is the result of being "cringy". The dialogue is just honest telling of feelings and that's it.
A very popular youtube movie pundit once said who cares about the politics about this movie. He couldn t see that it helped explain the state of things in the originals. I guess he ll enjoy the rehash of the new trilogy where the "rebellion" has become the " resistance". Almost 0 progress in the storytelling after 30 years.
I look at the political stuff as the set-up for Palpatine's arc. Also, world building.
I really missed this in the new trilogy. We know how the republic failed and the empire was born. Some 30 years after the OT, there's apparently a new republic, and some dudes trying to overthrow it. Why? What happened? How did we get from having an empire to having another republic, and why didn't this one work out?
It was the first Star Wars movie I ever saw. I was 2 or something and I was amazed by it. And it was where my love for Star Wars began. Now 20 years later and I still love it.
4:42 I think we can all agree that the battle droids were actual good comic relief.
Like the charity?
People can hate on The Phantom Menace and all the prequels, but they should not criticize Lucas for wanting to have artistic freedom with his own creation
What? He gave nobody else in his entire production studio creative freedom. Only himself. He oversaw ever aspect of production & gave nobody else a say so. Today Lucasfilm is more free & allows everyone to share their artistic vision & not just one man in charge.
Jesus, there's a ton of evidence that his team changed his mind a lot of the times (The yoda vs clone troopers in Ep.III being one that comes to mind). Please, please, next time, before making a claim, do some research. And that about Lucasfilm being more free, I guess the original director of IX and the first cut of Rogue One disagree with you.
You ever get this feeling that Ridley Scott should have directed the prequels
I mean George Lucas tried to be a visionary director
And Ridley Scott is a visionary director
IL MAESTRO Ok
It's hilarious that what Yishai Thau said is literally the opposite from reality.
Lucas allowed loads of creative freedom and actors and artists changed his mind many times.
Disney's Lucasfilm allows no creative freedom and does their shit movies under a rigid control and fires anyone who disagrees, with just one talentless hack woman in charge.
Another thing to add about your comment on Obi Wan's last battle with Maul is that, if you notice his movements, he actually is enraged at Qui Gon's death. If you noticed before, his swings were smooth and graceful, while here, they're a lot more sharp and snappy. Plus, if you pay close enough attention to his face, Obi Wan looks incredibly pissed off. He may be a Jedi, but he's out for blood, which could be one of the reasons he nearly fell down the shaft.
His usual lightsaber style is one of defensive supremacy. He completely abandons it with Maul and is nearly defeated. The fact that he bested Maul after all is a testament to how skillful he truly was.
In the visual dictionary for tpm there was a note saying obiwan tapped into force rage to win which was a dark side ability in a lot of older games but the dictionaries are always of questionable canon
Great Video!!! I've Always Loved this Movie!!! And The Entire Prequel Trilogy! I never understood the hate for them and I'm SO Happy they’re getting The Love they deserve now!
The prequels politcal-ness and deeper story and what it does for Vader (makes him better as a villain) is amazing. It's just a bit more... Intellectual? I enjoy it.
The great thing about this channel is that we may all have different opinions on the Star Wars prequels, but we all came here just to hear someone say nice things about them.
I came here to insult people in the comments.
LESS political plot? nono, SW is made of huge empires, laws and comercial links mixed with magic myth, warriors, and blaster armies, I want MORE
That's what made the sequel trilogy feel a little hollow to me, because we had no framework of the political machinations there was no scope. As an adult I can appreciate the senate scenes in this three movies as they build a bigger world and I understand the size, scale, and stakes.
@@TheLowBrassDude If they wanted it, they could have innovated. There is plenty of material all around about the chaos and power struggles among military cliques, after the death of Sheev. The way they built cannon SW made it be physically impossible. I mean, how the greatest armada of like, ever, was defeated by rebel-scale forces in a couple years?
Also, with all the backlash of the prequels, I'm sure Disney was afraid to bring up politics again in the sequels. Honestly, if anything, that's what's wrong with Star Wars and why the movies seem to be getting worse (though they really aren't). People complain about something that shouldn't be complained about and the script for future movies get affected since now those complaints want to be avoided. Some good plot points are avoided (like the thing with Darth Jar Jar I guess?) and we have movies trying to erase what previous movies did.
@@jasperlee2295 This backlash is only due to hardcore unflexible OT fans. The reaso for that is because you can't improve a masterpiece. Michelangelo didn't made a better David, right?
Yep, in that case it would be a good call to make future movies significantly different than the original, so Star Wars would provide something new, since it can't outdo the originals. Also, it makes little sense for a movie to "ruin" Star Wars, since, as CinemaWins puts it, the OT isn't going away any time soon. You can still go back and watch them.
I was a kid when the prequels came out and yes I enjoyed them. Padme is still my favourite character from this trilogy and she can be seen as a strong female role model, like Leia before. I like what Cinema wins has done, pointed out more analysis and depth to what kids see as an action movie, which I can now appreciate as an adult
I think this was the first video (four years ago) I ever saw speaking positively about Episode I. I always loved it (first SW movie I ever saw) and it felt great to not feel so alone or silly in enjoying this movie!
Like a good bottle of wine, this movie needed to be opened and aired for a bit... and 20 years later has seen this movie age amazingly
FINALLY, someone who is actually willing to give the prequels a chance, most people won't even let me explain myself when I say I like them
Blue House Skip its pretty easy to defend The Prequels now after Disney Star Wars. You still have people trying to bash TP, but now its just so laughable, for one a lot of the things people say about TP, can easily be said about the new trilogy.
Prequels becomed more appreciated even af far as 2014 for what I've been reading.
futurism.media/why-is-the-star-wars-prequel-trilogy-becoming-more-appreciated
Thing is that everything bad is said and nothing else bad can be added while people see that good far outweight bad and that is reason why prequels are in mainstream now.
Michael Stark oh there was starting to be push back from Prequel supporters, but still Bashers came on strong. There was a great essay someone made oh a while back that went in great length as to why Mr. Plinketts reviews(which was basher's main 'proof' as to why they were bad) were wrong.
It was a good piece, but bashers claimed it was B.S. because it was written down and too long. 😒
Then you had TFA coming out and during the time it was announced to the premier, Disney and J.J. promoted the hell out of the film saying it was going to be nothing like The Prequels, and that they were going to capture 'Lucas' original vision'...
Low and behold it was a New Hope ripoff.
www.rickworley.com/2016/01/07/the-force-awakens-vs-the-prequels-or-so-this-is-how-personal-expression-dies-to-thunderous-applause/
That's a good essay someone wrote after TFA came out. And the writer did enjoy the film too. Its worth the read.
Thank you for this reading.
This article is great and shows problems with TFA.
I watched PT and OT many times and enjoy them while regarding ST, i don't think I will rewatch it
Anyway I think that Sequels started all wrong without Skywalkers. Star Wars is not what it should be and in legends there are many Skywalkers and lineage goes on.
Ben Solo is Solo not Skywalker.
When you think about Skywalkers you think about Anakin and Luke.
Hope that Luke had somwhere son who can take Skywalker name into future but I doubt it.
Disney apparently want to get rid of Skywalkers for good.
I liked Rogue One but cast was meh Lets say most interesting for me was droid K2so.
I watched The Phantom Menace at a midnight showing on release day and unashamedly enjoyed most of it from start to finish. Since then, I've found many issues with the film, some of which are unresolvable, but as a film that just rattles along at pace and sows many seeds without ever taking itself too seriously, it still holds together as enjoyable. I can totally understand why people love this movie. I can, unfortunately, see why a lot of people hate it too. But for 2 hours in 1999 it was the first new Star Wars for nearly a generation and for that reason alone it was brilliant.
I have so many great memories of the prequels, and iconing scenes from the Phantom menace that I enjoy watching over and over again over the years. Lucas dared to reinvent himself and made another giant leap in the field of CGI. Despite all the bashing, it will be remembered as a milestone in movie history, unlike the already forgotten sequels…
Replace the word sequels by prequels and you sound like a prequels hater. Also CinemaWins had done videos on the sequels
Maul actually does come back in canon. Rebels is definitely canon.
and Clone Wars
Andy Gilleand That one also. I usually forget about that.
clone wars>rebels
raziel11 Yeah... Except the other way around.
Ross Pit: Shark Hunter you think rebels is better? i mean, rebels is good. but better then clone wars? nah.

Spoilers: And in Solo A Star Wars Story
That show was dumbest pre disney move of Star Wars. They destroyed Jedi lore making Anakin having Ahsoka as student although he was no master, they destroyed sith lore making more sith although only two should be. Not Ventress, Savage or other crap. They destroyed Maul because in TPM he was sith who lost because of arrogance and they shouldnt bring him back. Looks of characters is moronic with larger heads and voices sound nothing like those from movies. Clones without helmets looks nothing like those in movies and lightsaber duels are so idiotic with such unrealistic movements that this show should be burned. Only version from 2003 was needed and this is shitfest.
What I love about this channel is when I revisit a movie like this (I've just watched the entire movie series with my kids, 9 and 7 and they love it) I can go back and rewatch these and it's a nice little bonus, thanks dude!
I have to defend Jar Jar a little - he's someone who was willing to sign away his life to Qui-gon out of respect for his tradition and for Qui-gon saving his life (so he's honorable), was willing to face execution for coming back to the Gungan city to help the Jedi, is constantly trying to converse with others or cheer people up and even has a heart to heart with the Queen on several occasions, and even fought in a war he could have easily died in just a diversion for the sake of his friends and the Naboo.
Jar Jar is written overly comedic and annoying in places, but let's not forget that the guy is a pretty stand up fellow.
CH Gorog +
This was the first SW film I saw, I remember it, when I was like 6 or 7 years old. Then I saw the OT, with the childish illusion of see what had happened to Anakin, then I remember when I went to the cinema (my first or second time) to watch AOTC. For me this movie will always be the my first Star war. I fell in love with the podracer competition, I shared Anakin´s feelings with Padme, I cried when Qui-Gon died, I shouted out loud when Obi-Wan cut Darth Maul in half, I´m still getting goose bumps on that word: PEACE. The Phantom Menance will always have a special place inside my heart.
Castrinho but....?
I love/hate how much the impact of Qui-Gon's death reveals itself in later films: if he had lived he not only wouldve been a more secure teacher for Anakin, but he probably wouldve been able to keep the jedi council in moral check for the most part. This only adds to the tragedy of this trilogy.
I grew up watching the first 6 films since I was born, and this is the one I have the most good memories of. Because as a baby I wasnt exactly focused on story nuances and tone, I just wanted to watch the ones with the prettiest colors. Even if I know its not for the best reason, I still hold this movie close to my heart.
This movie was so underrated. Darth Sidious was a great villain, and the visuals were great. The lightsaber duel was awesome and the music was epic.
@Mustiboi Salman I guess so...
@@DB-tk3js True, but I didn't find jar jar as annoying as other people did.
@@DB-tk3js, I never found Jar Jar annoying. I really don’t know why. The characters I hate are the ones who make vastly stupid decisions that affect people (unless it’s a villain). It’s why I hated Poe in TLJ. He got 50 people killed in the opening for his own selfish reasons and it’s even more annoying that no one cares other than Leia.
Maul didn't come back in "non-cannon stuff". He came back in The Clone Wars, which is cannon.
canon*
Countless people have already pointed this out, and Cinemawins acknowledged his mistake in his review of Attack of the Clones.
Thank you!
Gary Jones didn’t Disney retroactively dismiss anything but the feature movies as non-canon?
There were a few exceptions. The Clone Wars was one of them, so it is canon
Padme is the only one to ever thank R2 in the entire main series.
Including the sequel trilogy too??
Now this seems like a nice way to celebrate Star Wars Day, I think. Watching the whole playlist.
May the fourth be with you, Lee!!!
I love this concept. I've always felt CinemaSins was too cynical at times.
negativity always spreads so much faster. This channel is amazing
aMAX Animations I find this channel more entertaining than CinemaSins, actually
aMAX Animations THAT IS WHAT MAKES IT AMAZING
aMAX Animations Cinemasins are assholes (and they acknowledge this frequently), which is what makes them so popular, because most of the internet are also assholes. Personally I prefer this channel
Hanyun Liu I like both of em its like yin and yang.
I feel like the big "politics" problem of Star Wars Episode 1 & 2 specifically is that there was never really gonna be a way to avoid it.
Keep in mind, at the start in the Phantom Menace the galaxy is basically at peace, so there's no Galaxy-Wide Conflict to drive the plot until the second act of Episode 2 after Obi-Wan discovers the droid factory. Phantom Menace and the early Padme Assassination Attempt plots are really driven by the Jedi doing their duties as peacekeepers rather than Warriors out saving the Galaxy, and it does so real well.
The TL;DR summary of all this is that it's fine to not like Episode 1 & 2 for the slower, more politically driven parts of the plot cause some people just can't stand politics, but it helps show how the galaxy functions during times of peace and the responsibilities of the Jedi during those times.
And if you really hate the Prequels to the point of violent outbursts and twitter rants because Jar-Jar Binks EXISTS, he's barely in Episode 2, and he's mostly just a vocal tag-along during Episode 1, so there really isn't anything I can say to fix that strange fucked-up part of you.
I mean on the jar jar part, one of the most loved characters yoda says it best, “fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.” The prequel haters true path
Is there really any story out there that can 100% avoid politics in a way? Our life truly depends on politics daily. I don't get how people even *dared* to expect no politics included in the prequels which tried to explain the hows and whys behind the Empire. You'll need politics to maintain a realm fam.
p.s. my dad grew up on the original trilogy but loved Jar Jar.
I never understood why "space politics" was such a damning concept. Star Trek: Deep Space 9 was like 80% space politics, and everyone who remembers that show loved it for that.
If you're a Babylon 5 fan then politics is an integral part of the series.
He makes the critics look kind of dumb
0:47
Obi Wan: “But Master Yoda said I should be mindful of the future.”
Qui Gon: “...but not at the expense of the moment!”
Good advice!
Ironically, I think Lucas might have need someone to tell him this while making these prequels.
Except he was mindful of both, dude. Try harder. LOL
@@mercenaryknight5419 Right, his comment doesn't make sense at all.
Cinemawins: darth maul came back in non canon.
Solo: Hello there
Pretty much.. Clone Wars and Rebels are canon too, but now even movie-only fans know it, thanks to Solo.
I feel like I am one of the only persons who actually was never bothered by the Medi-chlorians. This is story takes place in a highly civilized world with very advanced technology, so of course there would have been studies about the force to figure out how some is able to use it while others aren't. And as you said in this video it was established in the original trilogy that the force is genetic, Vader could even sense Luke was strong in the force at the battle of Yavin, despite Luke at that point only had been practicing it for couple of hours in the Falcon. The Medi-Chlorians fit perfectly into Star Wars as story is a story about seeing things from a certain point of view. The Medi-Chlorians is just the scientific point of view, it doesn't rob the force of its mystery as we through the all the movies and the clone wars learn more and more about the force and that there are manifistations of the force. Even Yoda learned more about the force that he didn't understand before.
I think "midichlorians" would have been more acceptable if they had been a sort of benign genetic marker, a mutation in the individual's body, perhaps one that alters the body chemistry slightly. Something internal that makes them more resonant with the Force, rather than what amounts to an external galactic sized swarm infesting a few hosts here and there. We have photoreceptors in our eyes to receive light and interpret visual information, the midichlorians should have just been Force-receptors somewhere in our brain.
Don't try and explain the Force, but I think it would have been ok to explain how someone is _connected_ to the Force.
thomas jeppesen well said
I always thought the Jedi council believes they are all powerful so they just made up a lie about the force to say they "figured it out" because they would do something like that
The idea of midichlorians was already invented by George in 1977, together with many other things the prequels have.
I would've preferred it if it was presented as an alternate way of looking at the Force rather than a retcon.
I liked the prequels. They built up the groundwork for amazing Expanded Universe. Also, I feel like the CG holds up wonderfully
It looks a little PS2 cut-scene-ish in Episode II, but yeah, the CGI is better than some of the stuff you see today. I legitimately think Jar Jar and Watto look better than Maz and Snoke.
And Attack of the Clones proved, without a shadow of a doubt, that everyone in the original trilogy who fought with a lightsaber was a frickin amateur (obviously due to lack of training/practice)
Well, it is Industrial Light and Magic, the best in the craft. Of course its going to hold up :)
JimD4473 I guess Darth Vader just forgot how to fight?
+CCBrown92
Losing your limbs will do that to you.
I love how the opening arpeggio plus the opening chord of the Star Wars Main Title forms a dominant chord!!! Seemed somehow appropriate. Also, your take on these movies is healing a big hole in my heart and my childhood, thank you.
Clone wars is cannon and maul is insane in it so I’m not mad that he “died” in this movie
Episode 1 and 3 had the best music in the entire series imo. John WIlliams at his best.
3 has the best soundtrack
Yea episode 3 is amazing. Anakin's Dark deeds and battle of heroes are both just masterpieces.
+Keyblader001 and Jedi temple March and Anakin's betrayal
Imperial march is amazing. I just think the prequels especially episode 1 and 3 just had so many hits that hold up. But so does the original trilogy, especially the asteroid field and the rebel fleet. But man, the prequel's music gives the feels all the way through.
I was kind of an idiot I guess when I was younger. I legit didn't know Palpatine was the Emperor until Episode 3. I saw little of the OG Trilogy beforehand.
If it makes you feel better, I forgot the emperor even existed when I was watching these.
I remember rewatching Attack of the Clones with my friend right around when Revenge of the Sith was going to come out and pointing out that Palpatine was obviously the Emperor. Both my friend and his dad were mind-blown by me calling it even though it was obvious to me. I should point out that my friend was the biggest Star Wars nerd I ever knew, so I felt very proud of myself when I realized he really had no idea.
That was me
Ur not alone pal, I didn't know until Revenge of the Sith's trailer showed him and it was a huge shock to me. It wasn't until I got older and saw the synopsis on the back of the VHS Phantom Menace tape that I realized it wasn't supposed to be a big secret cuz they literally state who he is in the back lol
One line has recently peaked my interest "always a bigger fish" two fish attack with no provocation but the third only when the ships lights are turned on.
Okay, I just have to say the little snippet of music at the very beginning got a huge chuckle out of me. Using the John Williams theme as the b7 in your dramatic opening arpeggio was genius and I commend you
I actually love the prequels. Why do most people hate them so much?
Bad acting, annoying subplots, annoying characters, and just simply not being as good as the movies that came before them.
Well, yes, I agree. I like the ones that came before better, but I don't hate these ones. They're definitely not my favorite movies, though.
Original trilogy had bad and cheesy acting, inconsistencies and plot holes, Iand of course, those few characters which are in the movie, at times are so annoying, or just bland that it is funny, so i have no idea why people think that those movies are that good.
I dont know about what annoying subplots you are talking about, but all fits perfectly into the story and history of the SW world.
Wlof25 Thank you for agreeing with me. By the way, I was only telling that person that I liked the original trilogy because I wanted to avoid an argument.
What do you mean you don't know what subplots I'm talking about? Have you even seen the movies?
I know the Jar Jar complaints have been beaten more than a pinata, but still... Jar Jar. That's still a massive, valid point right there.
And I DON'T hate the prequels (except for episode 1, but I think 2 and 3 hold up really well).
I think Hayden Christensen is literally the best person who could have played Anakin, and he did a great job of it. The problem was the beyond terrible script he was forced to read. And Obi-Wan from 2 and 3 is my single favourite character in the series, just as fun as Han or anyone else.
But Padme was terrible, and every interaction between characters who don't kill each other felt so bland and forced. So much of the movies (especially episode 1) was completely pointless and just didn't live up to the originals.
They're NOT bad movies, they're just not as good as the originals, whether you think those are amazing or not.
I always knew that Episodes IV-VI were something that never could be recreated, so I wasn't as disappointed by the prequels as so many others were. Also, whatever George got wrong with the prequels, he was trying to tell a new story, not just a version of the old one.
Unlike what Disney's doing now: Recycling the OT ad infinitum.
Sometimes when I’m lonely, and working from home drives me a bit crazy, I queue up the EGA Star Wars playlist and listen to the familiar sounds of Star Wars with the general positivity and calming demeanor of CinemaWins Man. It soothes the soul. Feels like watching it with an older brother or something.
when I saw this in theaters (nearly 7 years old), I thought "okay, the intro, that's Star Wars, spaceships, eh, I don't recognize these jedi." Then the holo showed up and I was all "OOOOOOHOHOHOOO! IT'S THE EMPEROR! I KNOW WHO THAT IS!!!"
Fun fact: captain Phasma’s armour is made from scraps of a naboo cruiser, hence the chrome finish and why it can deflect blaster bolts.
Holy Frick!!
TeamS ahhhhhh I see that you are a man of culture as well, phasma book?
I was 9 when I went to see this. I always wanted to watch this thing called “Star Wars” as a kid but my parents never rented the OT movies for me. Then TPM came out in theatres, It was the first Star Wars movie I saw and I was in love. I loved this movie as a child and still do as an adult. I’ll always remember the first time I saw it. I went on to see all the other movies and I love the OT and like the current sequel trilogy enough but the prequels will always be my favorite. The prequels had their flaws for sure, but I never understood the hate they got. They have their merits and are a great set of movies, especially with shows like Clone Wars.
Same bro I was 9 too
Unfortunately I was far too young to watch the prequels (I think I was 1 when RotS was out) but I will never forget the moment I opened up a christmas present and seeing the entire DVD set for both the prequels and originals. THAT was when I first saw Star Wars and my love for it grew ever since. So you can imagine my excitement when I could watch TFA (hint: I was smiling the whole time lol)
This movie will always have a special place in my heart. As the first star wars movie i saw in theaters, and one of the first movies i vividly remember seeing in theaters.
My first Star Wars as well but my first Star Wars theatrical experience is Star Wars 7
Dude I love Star Wars, and I love your channel, and you really do it justice. I agree with everything you said hear! I hope you touch on some things I noticed in other Star Wars films that I noticed, as I am watching them all in order with ur playlist!
I loved the prequels as well. It makes me so sad to think of all the hatred these movies get. Bizarrely, the OT also gets a lot of negative comments. Those tend to be focused on ROTJ, though. Seriously, at what point did people start hating the Ewoks? I only really started hearing about that since the rise of the internet, particularly TH-cam.
But with the release of TFA last year, I understood what people's problems with the PT were: they just wanted the OT again, but got something new and different. People didn't like the change. They weren't in touch with the spirit of what Star Wars was, they just wanted what they'd *seen* before.
I for one think, particularly with the PT, Lucas did a brilliant job recreating a classic SF serial for the modern age.
well even phantom menace borrowed alot from new hope, stop me if youve heard this one before, old jedi master rescues female royalty from an evil army of identical looking soilders with the help of a young human from a desert planet while fighting a bad guy with a red lazer sword dressed in all black lead by a misterious figure, the bad guys are then ultimatly defeted by a single piolt shooting proton tropedos at the main reactor of a large gry space ship which then ends in a award ceremony. thats litterally the plot of 3 of the 8 live action star wars movies, people didnt not like phantom menace because it wasnt similer to the ot because it was basicly new hope again (same as force awakens) . people didnt like phantom menace because of the bland action, bland acting, bland enviroments (gungan village is an exception), terrible child acting and the fact it breaks cannon in certian areas.
joshua powell How can you say the action in TPM "bland"? It was the most impressive action ever seen in a Star Wars movie. George Lucas often used the poetry analogy. In a lot of poetry, there are structural similarities between stanzas, and quite often rhymes. TPM (and as well as most of the films in the franchise) has this rhyming going on. TFA to me went beyond rhyming, with what seemed like a simple copy-pasting of the "first" verse.
And breaks canon? TPM expanded the universe as we understand it. In what ways do you think the film breaks canon?
Remember when Obi-Wan awkwardly spun around and then touched his lightsaber with Vader's? That part was amazing!
Best fight ever.
Obi-Wan Cannoli
yeah but new hope is from the fucking 1977 with not much of a budget, phantom menace used at the time cuttin edge tech with an unlimited budget and its still boring.
There was little hate for the Ewoks in the mid 80s and ANH still reigned far-and-away as most peoples' favorite episode. IMO, it wasn't until the late 90s that there seems to have been a more significant adult-centric distaste of Ewoks and a darkened delight for favoring ESB.
The taxation of trade routes thing is so important. At the center of it all is palpatine using it to manipulate the galactic government. Pushing them into desperate situations so bad that in episode three the give him total power.
Thank you!!! It may not be the most engaging of plot elements, however it all ties into Palpatine's eventual use to power and subsequent rearrangement of the republic into the empire, so it does make perfect sense for it to be explored in the prequels.
@@TheTradge first time you see the hologram of palpatine in episode. 1 he says he will make it legal. He tells you he's in politics. So not so obvious foreshadowing serves the purpose of a trilogy. Show how we got to the o.g.
Not just how did Vader happen but how did the empire form.....through insanely intricate political manipulation.
Makes it so much more sad that in the newest film first thing that happens is Palpatine saying he's alive and seeking revenge and allowing the good guys to act.
Re-watching cause i love your take on star wars. And a little defense to Qui Gon saying Obi-wan is ready to take the trials. while Obi-wan hasn't learned from qui gon that sometimes you have to bend the rules and jedi code to do what is right. It's something Obi-wan would have to learn on his own as a jedi knight. If he just tells him "hey this is wrong" then Obi-wan may take it as Qui Gon being wrong, but if Obi-wan becomes a jedi knight and sees and learns how the counsel can be wrong and misguided himself, its a better taught lesson.

Is years since this came out, and a couple of days ago, when i was watching this with my father, i notice how Darth Mauls is always trying to mantain Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon behind each other, and in the moment they surround him he move away from them, is a wonderful way to display not only the skill of Maul, but his cunning as warrior because no matter how good you are, you don't want to be sorrounded.
(Probably is much less that and more "look cool in that way" but, come on, headcanon born for this)
Never occurred to me while watching the prequels that the cgi sucked, I just thought wow this looks great and very unique!!!
I actually love that Qui-Gon was very much the focus of the movie. One of my favorite pieces of star wars media when I was a kid was a series of books called Jedi Apprentice about Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon, they were a great way to really build on their relationship and show the flaws of the Jedi system as at one point Obi-Wan actually leaves the Jedi Order to follow the woman he loves, we see the council ignore reports of genocide, and the temple is even inflated by an apprentice turned bad
I’m glad that I can say this here: I really enjoyed watching TPM

Really? cuz it feels like you can actually live again when you say "i liked Attack of the clones".
Honestly, I never hated the prequels. They weren't as good, but their scope really impressed me, along with what they add to the universe.
What really does bother me is that CinemaWins says Maul comes back in non-canon, despite both CW and Rebels being canon... I mean come on. It is kinda ridiculous but it is canon.
Countless people have already pointed this out, and CinemaWins acknowledged his mistake in his review of Attack of the Clones.
what's ridiculous is that he's been turned into a villanous hermit crab...before he got his legs
its not that ridiculous if you consider that he used the dark side in the same way as anakin to survive his injuries, plus Mauls not human and just biologicly a bit more "tanky"
Yep, but now, all of it has been officially canon-i-fied by Solo! (yayy)
Charles Bargone
It was already canon.
Out of all the things I did with legos as a kid, one of my favorite was pod racing with custom built little racers, good times
Interesting bit of knowledge: The jedi council believed the sith went extinct before the rule of two, yet at Qui gon's funeral, when Yoda and Mace Windu are talking, Yoda says "Always two there are", meaning Yoda and Mace knew that the sith survived and kept it from the rest of the jedi.
