Say something nice about the Star Wars Prequel. If you can.

[Agente L]

They were great movies. They just didn't lived up the hype that was the original trilogy, which were some of the best movies ever made.

I'm a huge Star Wars fan, but the fanboys who blindly criticize the prequels for not being what they want is mind-boggling

 

[Stalydan]

I like Revenge of the Sith. It's the one bit of the prequels that I think the good outweighs the bad. And there are some really bad moments in that film BUT I can get over them because the rest of the film is pretty damn good.

 

[Stalydan]

Neither Han Solo nor the Falcon were in the prequels. The music was good. The light saber fights were... fast paced? That is the best I can come up with.

Hate to say it but the Falcon's in Episode III.

Really?! I missed that one xD

 

[Doneeee]

The action was pretty sweet and it had a pretty good cast of actors, although in my opinion it was mostly wasted talent. Oh and seeing little yoda hack at enemies was pricless.

Ehhhhh. I've never seen it there. Where in the movie? Can you tell me what minute or so?

Okay, are you talking about this?


Cause I can't tell if that is actually THE Falcon or just another YT-1300, which was a very popular freighter design.

Okay, Wookieepedia confirms it was supposed to the the THE Falcon, although its link to the site that claims Lucas said so himself is dead.

Either way I think it hardly counts.

 

[Chairman Miaow]

There weren't more of them?

 

[Lionsfan]

Ewan McGregor was a great choice for a Jedi, and some of the visuals were really cool

Am I the only one who didn't like this casting choice?

What didn't you like about it? Just curious

 

[The Invisible Goldfish]

General Grievous was interesting, they spawned some good games, the Order 66 montage, the CGI was nice, it kind of looks like Palpatine laughed at the sheer ridiculousness of Vader's rage fest, Count Dooku was great, Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson were good ideas, Mace Windu, Jar Jar was mostly quiet for 2 of the movies, and...um...we see Tarkin for about 18 seconds (I may be a bit off, timed it on youtube).

Alright, I'm done now.

 

[Berlioz]

I liked all six movies. They all had stuff I found good and bad. So there.

I never understood all the fuss about the prequels and the original trilogy and all that jazz. It's Star Wars. It's Lucas' creation, and that's it. You either like it or you don't.

Tastes vary.

 

[J4RD]

I almost hate Jar Jar Binks less than the sum of every annoying character ever put into a movie. Almost.

Also, Liam Neeson.

 

[quiet_samurai]

I actually liked the prequels, not the best trilogy mind you, but good enough for me. But I'm also not one of those people that pick apart every aspect of a movie and take it personally.

Granted there were some pretty bad parts, especially between Padme and Anakin. The "No I love you more" scene especially. But whatever....

I really loved all the battles, the political intirgue, and really except for some of the dialogue and a few scenes concerning acting, the overall plot and story was quite masterful. I loved how Anakin became that whole "fallen prince" and was tricked into evil because he wanted to do good. And you know what, I even liked the Gungans... not so much Jar-Jar, but even then I really didn't mind.

I actually like where they are going with Star Wars as far as the Old Republic universes and such, and think they should expand on that and leave the original universe alone from now on. I think when Lucas kicks the bucket we will see some pretty neat content in the Star Wars universe.

 

[Valkaris]

I really liked them, I grew up with them, and one of my most memorable moments was going to see Episode III opening night in the fourth grade.

 

[Ready2Go]

good fight scenes

 

[theskadudeguy]

I think it was the sheer blandness of his performance, I can't quite place my finger on it.

 

[the trooper]

yep thats pretty much all i really liked too. that and seeing anakin getting his legs cut off by obi-wan. it was very satisying to see

 

[Slash Dementia]

Lightsaber battles, Liam Neeson, music, locations, watching Obi-Wan cut Anakin's limbs off.

 

[=Doc=]

They show you how not to tell a story in a movie.

And, to quote Red Letter Media, they also show how George Lucas was getting way too much credit for creating Star Wars.

 

[RickyRich]

There was only one prequel I liked, and that was Episode III. It had the coolest lightsaber fight and it revealed the how Anakin became Darth Vader, which is just awesome.

The fact that Google chrome doesn't acknowledge "Anakin" and "lightsaber" as words, is bullshit.

 

[SmoothGlover]

I remember being in primary school (aged about 10 or 11) and my teacher showing us an early trailer for Episode I. All I openly remember about it is the image of a Trade Federation Ship landing in a forest and a bit of a Lightsaber fight.

I remember thinking that it looked like the most awesome film that had ever been made, having watched A New Hope at the cinema during one of the anniversary releases, and all three originals constantly ever since then.

So I think, to sum up. It seemed like a really cool idea. And to be honest, I liked it when I ended up seeing it. And I still quite like it to be honest. Though its easy enough to see the flaws.

And two last points:

-I personally really liked the look of the Naboo Starfighters, though I couldn't say why.

- Jake Lloyd was pretty terrible, but he was only a kid.

And actually, one more for luck:

- Anakin Skywalker had no place being in the battle of Naboo. Even as a pre-teen I remember wincing.

Don't forget E.Ts are in Episode I. So I think any thing counts.

Oh, and this is a quote from George -

"On the Internet, all those same guys that are complaining I made a change are completely changing the movie,? Lucas tells the New York Times in a new profile, referring to YouTube fans who have re-cut his films in retaliation for the small changes he has made. ?I?m saying: ?Fine. But my movie, with my name on it, that says I did it, needs to be the way I want it.??

Combine that experience with the cool reception the three ?Star Wars? prequel films received in the late 90s and early 2000s, and Lucas says he?s done making new films in the canon.

?Why would I make any more,? Lucas says, ?when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?

As much as I think they're disappointing movies I still wish he'd make more. I actually like a lot of the merchandising and games that come with a new movie (and in the movies I love the sound effects and ship designs).

I remember babysitting a kid many years ago. He'd never heard of Yoda or Darth Vader. Thanks to the prequels that's no longer the case. George can fuck with the movies, and the series, all he likes. My childhood memories of watching them are still in tact.
