>>216035161Saw this in theaters at age 10 and Darth Maul was by far the best part of the movie, took a long stick and painted it to look like his double bladed saber and twirled it around a lot
>>216035161You mean Gen Xers and older millennials? Honestly everyone was hyped when they saw it in the trailers. It was the movie itself that was a bit of a shrug.
>>216035161This was the start of the "cool new lightsaber gimmick" and the sequels beat that dead horse into a pulp
>>216035161don't pretend this wasn't the coolest shit
>>216035161I remember I had a darth maul toy and I absolutely loved making him kill obi wan over and over again.
>>216035161because George Lucas just ripped off Insidious
>>216035237He actually killed Qui-Gon Jinn. You were playing with your toys wrong
>>216035210Fuck off, jeet.
>>216035262Yeah I know he killed quigon but I was too poor to have all 3 fuck you nigger
I was 8 when TPM came out. We stood in line for 2 hours to see the midnight release, and I fell asleep after the group left tatooine and woke up just as Obi-Wan sliced maul in half What a dog shit film
>>216035161Not me, I'm a prequels boyAlso the hate came from older genXrs because they can't accept anything different from the OT, onions they latwr gave them the sequels trilogy with the first one being a safe reboot and they basedfaced in ecstasy
>>216035201Maul and Dooku are ok and make sense, Kylo's one is dumb
>>216035517>they latwr gave them the sequels trilogy with the first one being a safe rebootThat was the Phantom Menace too.
>>216035608?
>>216035161>zoomer manchildren love slop from their childhood simply because it came out during their childhoodmany such cases
>>216035161I wish we lived in a timeline where the sequels weren't utter dogshit and Rey got to use a double. They always made for kino coreography. Of course, that would require actually training actors, and god forbid we do any of that.
>>216035546Agreed, I especially see the practicality of Dooku's. Disney's >fuck it, we ballapproach is just atrocious.
>>216035192This. The duel of fates part is like the only good part of the phantom menace. They wasted like half a movie on Jarjar shit and a pod racing segment
>>216035161It made us Gen X'ers yawn too.
>>216035161The Shadow the Hedgehog of Star Wars. Worshiped by autistic zoomers, laughable cringe to everyone else.
>>216036003No zoomer is old enough to remember this coming out. The absolute oldest ones would have been 3.
prequeltards really go "i liked it as a kid!" as if thats ever been an indicator of quality
>>216035161>posts image>makes claim
>>216035161Phantom Menace is still a bad movie, no matter how atrocious Disney made the new trilogy.
>>216035183i thought zoomers liked in
TPM was fairly well received
>>216037174Nope, it was always mostly millennials. Gen z has largely turned on them.
>>216036190>duel of fates part is like the only good part of the phantom menace/thread
>>216035161There is something deeply sinister going on in Hollywood with all these cool villains and the boring protagonists.
Darth maul (and his duel lightsaber) was the only half decent or memorable thing from that turd pile. People say the pod race was alright but it wasnt worth what you had sit through. That fight was it.
>>216036190make sure everybody has zimas
>>216038148>Darth maul (and his duel lightsaber) was the only half decent or memorable thing from that turd pile.this is correct
>>216038125villains are naturally cooler which is why when they really want you to hate them they make them rapists or something
>>216036190The pod racing was kino, fuck you
>>2160351612nd best star wars movie after rogue one. >what about the originalsComplete slop.
>>216038125There is WAY more artistic freedom in making the antagonist. If the protagonist isnt a complete moral faggot the movie wont sell to wide audiences.
Gen-X manbabies hated the prequels. Millennials thought podracing was cool.

>Zoomers trying to steal Millennial childhoodsWho was appropriately aged to watch a movie for 8-14 year olds in 1999? Think about this
>>216035269The problem with Jeets and turdies generally is that they are all mentally 12 years old and never grow out of it. The problem with Gen-X and millennial Westerners is that they grow up and develop taste but think all media should cater to THEM. The most sane position is enjoying baby media when you're a baby, growing up, and realizing that not everything needs to appeal to you.
>>216035210What's amazing about this moment is that everybody had to sit through a complete snorefest to get to what is one of the coolest fight scenes in cinema history.
>>216038958LESS
What you talking about, was amazing and we were all going crazy in theaters when he brought out that double lightsaber.
why is it that so many retards are incapable of moving on from this childrens media franchise? this shit was always for children. yeah the prequels were shittier than the OG's but god damn move the fuck on. i grew up with the OG's first and then the prequels right after and i always recognized the prequels as shit but damn if they arent great in a goofy cheesekino kind of way.t. 1997 zoomzoom
>>216041664>this shit was always for children.You keep redefining children's movies to mean "enjoyment for just children", which is not what children's movies ever meant. They were meant for all ages. Are you retarded bro?
>>216041690because i think if you get stimulated by star wars well into adulthood you have a serious fucking waterbrain issue.
>>216038073Gen Z doesn't even like Star Wars. Only boomers and millennials
look at how shitty they glued the horns to his head, any cosplayer would do a better job
>>216041738>Gen Z doesn't even like Star Wars. Only boomers and millennialsThis is due to the drought in SW content from 1984-1998
>>216041750i know. always noted how shitty this picture is for the horrible prosthetic job. looks like an indie film
Watching Talon rip and tear her way through the casino in the sequels was awesome, no matter what everyone says about them. The action. The choreo. The sabre light reflecting off her skin. The constant fanservice. The gore. Glorious. I remember all of it.
>>216041868It was an indie film
>>216041664Do the children enjoy the sex slavery and child massacres
>>216042106
>>216035161i loved it was the first movie i saw about 12 times in the cinema at age 8, its my favorite starwars movie i dont care how much hate it gotHOWEVER i HATE the other two movies, TPM was pretty good i rewatch it yearlyattack of the clones and sith have ALL the issues modern movies do and basically where it all started>too much cgi, director never told no, bad writing bad acting bad sets/compositing bad animation bad productionYou can see WHY the prequels are so hated, dont get me wrong i dont really like the sequels and the OTT has issues but AoTC and RoTS are BAD movies
>>216042152>too much cgi, director never told no, bad writing bad acting bad sets/compositing bad animation bad productiondude, phantom menace has all of that shit. im telling you, rewatch it and youll be gobsmacked thinking "how the fuck did i ever like this shit?"
>>216042152>attack of the clones and sith have ALL the issues modern movies do and basically where it all startedDo they? I don't see any trannies, girlboss dykes or millennial capeshitter dialogue in those movies. It's really just the CGI.
>>216042400for a movie made in 96-99 thats not that bad, janky yes but it was the first movie to have high quality (for its time) cgi BIG battles
>>216042443i was mainly talking about how they looked not so much the woke crap2013-2024 woke era is 100% over lol
>>216042631It's not over until we have visual confirmation that Kathleen Kennedy is out the door. We're not finished until she is.
>>216042400The CGI in The Phantom Menace was shit, yes, but it was shot on film, so when you watch it, the film grains help mask the shitty CGI. The other two were shot digitally, so the bad CGI stands out more.
>>216036190something severely fucking wrong with you if you don't like or even appreciate the podrace you jaded faggot
phantom menace has some really wooden acting otherwise it's an okay 7 out of 10. clones is kind of a turd until the third act, but in retrospect the kamino arc is pretty cool. Probably a 6.5/10. revenge of the sith is all around good, like a 9/10. none of them approach the greatness of the originals though.
>>216035161I thought this character was pointless when I was twelve, and I still do.
>>216042608LOTR Fellowship was made around the same time and actually has smart cinematography that makes up for janky CGI that still makes the shot look greathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46J56lOhGBUhttps://youtu.be/DgNrvnY1mo0?si=uwIe0RwAKT_xVaOM&t=108
