Why are zoomies trying to rewrite history? Everyone despised the prequels. Fucking everyone. The gayest and soiest of star wars fags thought they were shit. Zoomies only like them because their parents put them on when l they were kids so they feel nostalgia for them

>>220341311
This is the truth. Older millennials dgaf until the og trilogy was re-released around '97 and Phantom Menace continued the vibe.

>>220341229
The prequels are more memeable because they're laughably bad. The sequels are bland and forgettable.

>>220341332
It's honestly more endearing that it filtered everyone at the time and then people rewatched them and realized they were masterpieces

somehow palpatine returned stayed in the zeitgeist

>>220341597
Because of how ridiculous it is.

I'm a milennial and I prefer the prequels to the ot and the sequels.

except for all the kids who liked it. just like all the kids who liked the original star wars.
The OG and the prequels are equal in quality only different in time. If you like one significantly more than the other it's because you were a kid when you watched that one.

Not remotely true.

>>220341739
New Hope was too slow for me as a teen and the bears were too silly. As an adult New Hope is great because by using history as inspiration all the details imply so much about the wider world that the later movies ruined.

Vader was a knight not a king, the empire was bureaucratic with complex interpersonal politics and subjugated puppet kingdoms as seen by Tarkin knowing the princess personally. 3PO was a royal protocol droid, part of a court with pomp, displays of wealth and complex relationships with many different ethnic groups with different languages.

>>220341597
Sure, but that's straight up mockery, it's not posted with endearment like most prequel shitposts.

>Insinuating a movie that came out in 1999 and had a bunch of good ass video games and lego sets wasn't my actual childhood
Zoomers merely adopted the prequels. They were MADE for me...

>>220341907

I watched them all as a teen. I watched the OT just before Phantom Menace came out. Only New Hope is good.

You can go to IMDB search for The Phantom Menace user reviews and sort by review date and see even on release people liked the movies with only a handful of really upset people writing bad reviews.

>>220342029
Confirmed compulsive liar.

>>220341229
idk who believes this, but when the prequels came out during my childhood every single boy around me was obsessed with star wars or they were a jock, there was almost no in between

>>220342042
People who posted user reviews were always retards and not in the meme sense, literal retards on government programs for retards.

>>220341332

People were hyped by TPM aside from Jar Jar
AotC was middling, but audiences cheered for Yoda
People loved RotS outright

it took balls to do something new instead of playing the same 50 year old tie fighter sound like your audience is a bunch of trained dogs

>>220342136
>People were hyped
I was hyped until I watched it. The soundtrack saved it from being completely worthless.
I liked AotC slightly more on the first watch because I didn't expect anything but it's trash.
RotS finally delivered what the Vader shadow poster teased but in the most sloppy one-dimensional way possible.

>>220341332
The Red Letter Media reviews are generally considered one of the best breakdowns of all the flaws of the prequels. Very long negative reviews, right?
They reference the fact that younger audiences liked them
>If you’re someone who’s under the age of like 20, and says his least favorite film in the series is The Empire Strikes Back because it was “the most boringest one”, then I suggest you shut this review off right now before I carefully explain how much of a fucking idiot you are
Younger audiences always liked them, older audiences always disliked them. The mistake was assuming those kids would grow up to hate them for some reason

>>220341332
The prequels were hated by Star Wars fans, but the general consensus among normalfags was they were a mixed bag. I know generally people liked the action and effects but hated Jar Jar and thought Anakin was too whiny. Honestly the reception to the prequels is pretty similar to the reception to the sequels with fans hating them and normalfags just thinking they're whatever.
The big difference was the prequels were heavily pushed for a long time with spin off cartoons, toys, video games, and brand tie ins so they've been ingrained in the pop cultural history. The sequels have basically been ignored by Disney after Episode 9 so nobody cares about them anymore, they've been pretty much forgotten by everyone.

First movie was divisive but everyone saw it - massive, unrelenting media bombardment made sure of it. No one I knew even spoke about the second one. Everyone I knew thought the third one was pretty cool. No one I knew though any of them were masterpieces or complete pieces of shit.

prequelfags deserve the rope
those movies fucking sucked and your childhood fucking sucked
star wars fucking sucks

>>220341229
I was a kid when the prequels came out so a trve millennial.
We had no clue what "le critics" were ever talking about back then.

I loved Star Wars 1 and Star Wars 3 blew my mind
Star Wars 2 seemed boring to me except some Dooku scenes.

Overall, I became obssessed with Star Wars and played every single game I could find.
Re-watched Star Wars 3 a billion times.
Played Star Wars 3 game a billion times.

>generally considered one of the best breakdowns of all the flaws of the prequels
KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
Literally only faggots believe any shit RLM said, their "breakdown" was just a shit AVGN copy trying to be edgy
Most of the points are straight up bullshit, like saying "the Jedi can't be the protagonists because I don't like their story and Anakin cannot be the protagonist because he shows up later in the movie (ignore this also happens with Luke, Ben, Han, Chewie and Lando in the OT)" or asking their random friends who have probably watched the OT twenty times and the PT once to describe the characters in a single sentence and they go "see? Qui-Gon is too complex to be described in a single sentence, so Prrequels bad"
Having watched every single review of the Prequels and rewrites, their points are all bullshit and in reality they just didn't like them because they wanted more OT pulp shit and ignored the profound themes of the OT which got expanded into the PT. I'd accept if they admitted they're brainrotted redditards who coomed to TFA but you get retards like Chris Stuckmann acting like a fucking film critic because he watched Citizen Kane once and it pisses me off

>>220342775
This. They’re cashing in one the prequel nostalgia now while they can still use all the actors and now that the demographic most inclined to feel nostalgic for it )18-34 males) have disposable income. Give it another decade and you’ll see Disney make a push for the sequels.

>>220341311
Jar jar was the biggest issue for most people when it came out. I saw it in theaters launch night with my dad. Shit was cash.

>>220343539
>Jar jar was the biggest issue for most people when it came out
Jar Jar was the scapegoat. He had less time in the entire trilogy than C3PO had in any of the OT, yet nobody bitched about 3PO who is leagues more annoying and disruptive.
Jar Jar was just the easy thing to blame. The real issue was that people didn't like the more serious tone the Prequels had and the political spin, but admitting that would be embarrassing because they'd be admitting they just want kid fucking garbage that their simple brains can understand, so they attacked a minor character appealing to kids
That's why RLM for instance didn't bitch about Finn in TFA who is even worse than 3PO let alone Binks

i was 13 when tpm came out and absolutely despised it. but then aotc was so much worse.

3PO straight up constantly interrupts the plot to say retarded shit. Like when he spouts fucking nonsense in the Falcon during the asteroid field chase that's so fucking tiresome Han just shuts him up, or how he bitches during the Cloud City escape and through most of ANH's intro. For the record I don't hate 3PO but he's worse than Jar Jar
What's the worst shit Jar Jar did? Step on shit and smell a fart? He contributed nothing really, he was the definition of a minor character. Sabe and Panaka add more to TPM than Jar Jar
>promotional material
You cannot critique a movie based on promotional material. By that logic ESB is shit because the Holiday Special was largely a promo for it

In fact they creamed their pants hard with TFA. They only made a "harsh" review on Rogue One (which made completely irrelevant points which the movie doesn't even suffer from, not that Rogue One is perfect but they clearly rushed it) because they wanted to get some of that Mauler/Nerdrotic Disney bashing dough

If you were a kid when even episode 1 came out, you had at least the toys, and if you liked the toys you liked the movie, I refuse to believe otherwise. That's why older people in college most likely hated them

Was the target age for these movies as they came out. Hated episode 1 because even back then I thought JarJar was annoying af. Episodes 2 and 3 were only enjoyable for the action scenes and whatever scenes had Portman showing some skin like the execution scene. But aside from that the movies really did suck ass.

>>220341229
Revenge of the Sith was one of the biggest movie releases of my life, everyone wanted to see it even the kids who made fun of Star Wars fans. I saw it three times and the third time was the only occasion where the theater wasn't close to being full.

>>220341550
This. The prequels may be bad but at least they're bad enough to be enjoyable to make fun of. The sequels at least the movies are entirely forgettably bland bad. But credit where credit is due, the lesbian space witches thing was pretty fucking funny.

>>220341229
The prequels were shit. I saw episode 1 when it came out. Found it really fucking boring compared to movies I would catch on TV. I'm supposed to be the target audience, but I'd rather be watching 70s movies on the local uhf station.

In reality, only "Star Wars" (episode 4) is good. Everything after sucks fucking garbage and you have to be low IQ/EQ to be impressed by any of this shit.

Jarjar is more annoying. I disagree fully. C3PO never annoyed me. He was a quirky know it all not.

what a boring subject to regularly make the same thread about for years on end
kill yourself

Prequels did their own thing, love it or hate it. Introduced countless new designs to Star Wars canon.
The Sequels are a borderline reboot of the OT.

I saw what JewJew did to Star Trek, and when he was announced as helming Star Wars, I knew that shit was over.

>>220344083
ESB is a good movie, it's just treated as the greatest shit ever because it's the pulpiest of classic SW which is what millenials actually like about SW. Not the narrative, the hero's journey, the moral quandaries, etc. They just like the sensationalist battles and explosions and scenarios, so something like the asteroid field or Hoth appeals to them
It's why they don't even understand the true impact of Vader being Luke's dad, to them it's just an amazing twist instead of a complex addition to multiple characters. It's about the adventure, not the cast
It's also why a lot of people who hate the Prequels also hate RotJ and Last Crusade and worship Temple of Doom, because the former are more about characters and plot than just pulp whereas Temple is 500% pulpy adventure with little to no character development and useless sidekicks

>>220341229
I liked phantom menace. Music, ambience, podracers, darth maul. as a kid it was extremely cool, and i was already a giganerd, the '97 special edition tapes were already ruined due to excessive use (i loved watching the documentary at the beginning)

Anyway, i remember my other cousin had this star wars shirt with anakin skywalker's face, except it was a young boy and had this helmet with goggles.. i remember telling him multiple times it was a fake because anakin skywalker was dart fener and not a boy our age.
Yep, we got merchandise waaaaay before the movie came out.

EP2 was good, too, thought hayden christenseen was such an insufferable faggot it almost ruined the movie. I remember refusing to watch EP3 for years (I finally watched it in 2012 i think) because of how much i hated that actor

OT "fanboys" (not really fans because they don't understand the OT) don't like Star Wars as a fairytale focusing on Luke's journey and the light over the dark, they like it as just generic sci fi pulp crap with explosions and lasers and shocking twists and turns regardless of meaning. If you watched a SINGLE Prequel rewrite you'd know exactly what these people actually want

I'm a millenial, and I loved the prequels. Hell, I would do swordfights with my friends doing more hoops and spins than actually trying to hit each other. You were old, so you wouldn't understand. You look at the fights and think it's overchoreographed and makes no sense, but that flair is genuinely attractive to kids

That's the thing boomers don't understand, they only like OG Star Wars because they experienced as kids. Nowadays, you have a zillion hero's journey stories so Star Wars is not special, it might be historically relevant, but so is Ben-Hur and Lawrance of Arabia, but that won't make zoomers enjoy those moveis.

Prequels were also made for kids, but unlike the OG it had some things that are unique to it and weren't copied so much, like being overly campy, the overchoreographed fights, and the MC slowly falling a path of evil because of love. Having these unique things make it so people can watch them nowadays, and still have a somewhat fresh experience.

The sequels though... They are NOT made for kids. They are made to feed the childhood nostalgia of 50yo+ people and the 90'sw born millenials who wish they were teens during the 80's. It does not communicate to kids, and there's nothing unique about them, even if they weren't bad movies by themselves.

I was born in 1992 and loved the prequels
I always thought the hate towards them was from gen x who were mad that episode 1 was a kid's movie

>>220344560
Battlefront was one of the first cases of “people who played it when they were 12 are now pining for it on 4chan 6 years later” I noticed. those games sucked.

Prequels are shakespeare in space.

OG is bastardized Dune for kids

Sequels are like three bad movies, each one with it's own specific problems, that share no tone or vision

The arc of enthusiasm regarding the prequels:

>>220344180
Most people thought temple of doom was a massive downgrade from raiders and worst of the trilogy until very recently, the bluray remaster most likely, as that is very much a movie meant only for widescreen that’s borderline incomprehensible when it’s cropped.

Cope. I never watched any Star Wars movies until I was 20, right before The Force Awakens came out. I watched all six movies in the span of a month, and the original trilogy is much better than the prequels. Watching Attack of the Clones was legit torture for me.

But the real game changer was computers in most every home, connected to the internet.

we will never stop talking about them. never before has a creative gone from being generally hailed as a genius to a boob so quickly and conclusively as george lucas. most people wouldn't understand what happened for years, if not decades. some people still don't understand what happened.

Prequels were dogshit though, the only reason they are remembered better than the sequels is because it & the era those movies took place in was more shounen-esque(male heroes, light fanservice, super powered fights & battles, cool looking villains, anime power system & power levels, and etc) which still allowed start wars to retain that generation of young males.

I mean come one, an org of elite agent monks with cool space swords & eastern like magic powers adventuring & battling out with babes in revealing outfits like Aayla Secura popping up ever now and then is crack to a 11 year old boy despite the actual story & logic of those movies being utter dog shit. In a way the prequels are more psychologically appealing to young boys than the OG series were.

Now the issue with the sequels is that they were dogshit too but also had ZERO impact on boys & the young male demo in general because they wanted to appeal to girls but girls don't give a fuck about star wars. This is why the sequels will never have their own fans like the prequels does. They literally appeal to no one.

>>220341332
>Everyone despised the prequels. Fucking everyone.
Not really. You'd be better off saying "disappointed", but acting like they were universally reviled pieces of shit isn't accurate. There were bad parts that have been heavily criticized (Jar Jar and Anakin/Padme scenes being the biggest two), but there were a lot of good parts to the prequels. I can think of more things I liked in TPM alone than I can in the entirety of TFA and TLD.

Just the pod racing scene in phantom menace is better than anything Disney has done with Star Wars, especially when you saw that in a cinema with proper surround sound.
I feel like a lot of people don't even watch films properly and think they can have a real opinion on them when the only way they've seen them is by streaming them on disney plus on a laptop/phone/tablet

>>220346313
>muh pod racing scene
Always hated it. Luke drinking monstermilk is a better scene.

George won. But then of course he did, all the hate he recieved was from deluded and entitled sci-fi nerds like rlm. Those guys are retards and time has made them look really pathetic.

As someone who played hookie from high school to camp outside the Seattle Cinerama for the first showing of The Phantom Menace, I can tell you that there was so much energy and excitement going into that show, and people left that theater so profoundly disappointed.

People hated young Anakin, they hated Jar Jar, they hated pod racing, they hated the cheesy dialogue. The prequels are just not good films, and people were not happy. No amount of zoomer revisionist history is going to make it otherwise.

I remember the same thing happening. BUT my mom actually filmed me when I came back from the theater and I looked happy as a clam. She asked me what I thought of the movie and I said "IT WAS AMAAZING" and the she said what the best part was and I said "POD RACING I WANNA BE A POOOOOD RACER". Its bizarre because I could have sworn I hated it back then. Turned out I had just watched the prequel reviews from RLM a decade later and it basically caused me to have selective amnesia about the whole thing. Most people loved the phantom menace.

>>220346708
There’s no point in lying on the internet. No one is going to believe you either way.

For me, I just didnt want to admit that George Lucas had so completely lost it. I engaged in pretty advanced mental gymnastics for my age, maybe the bad stuff was on purpose and would be referenced later, maybe jarjar was doing the “fool yoda” thing, maybe there was a point for Vader being a child, maybe the immaculate conception was just bullshit because his slave mother didn’t want to admit what type of slave she was to her child. The second movie would put all of this in perspective and I’ll appreciate tpm more once it’s all laid out. All the shitty scenes, writing, and acting were just foreshadowing hiding behind what appeared to be complete filmmaking incompetence.

Then the assassination attempt happened. Quite literally the dumbest sequence put to film, or so I’d think until the rest of the movie played. My favorite part was when they were finally going to have a huge space battle that wasn’t between retarded aliens and retarded robots. And then a big dust storm rolls in so they won’t have to actually show anything. I made it about 2/3rds of the way through obiwan investigating [???] that would lead him to the clone army, so I was in the bathroom, contemplating injuring myself or going back into the theater (the latter won out because the former seemed like a lot more effort) so it would be decades before I knew the 50s diner scene wasn’t in the third movie I wouldn’t watch until a few years ago.

Thanks for reading my blog.

This is why the "zillennial" distinction is important. A millennial born in 90-95 has more in common with a zoomer born 96-00 than they do to a millennial born in 1980.

I've noticed some zoomers trying to take credit for making prequels accepted/popular again. Quite bizarre and also very obnoxious. Zoomers don't even care about Star Wars to begin with. The average zoomer wasn't even born when they came out, and when they were old enough to fanboy over something MCU was all the rage among their peers.

>>220347463
i fall into that category and i can say that i dont really care for the movies (not hate) but i dont dislike prequel era stuff
battlefront was cool
clone commando was cool
good things could come out of prequel era stuff
sequel era has nothing and can do nothing because they kill the setting in way you cant think of any stories on your own

Zoomer who loved the prequels, the OT, The Clone Wars, Andor, and Ben-Hur, should I watch Lawrence of Arabia? I know there's a version where Alec Guinness is Lawrence. I enjoyed the new Dune movies and am planning on seeing the 1984 version soon, so I figure I should expand my boundaries with LoA too.

Ages 8-14 who loved them is quite a large demographic. Growing up loving the OT and the prequels equally and just being immersed in building x-wing and obi-wans AoTC ship in lego alike and playing rogue squadron. Just thinking about it makes me tear up like basedboy watching the TFA trailer.

>>220347463
People born between 1990-1994 are in no way "zillennials." They are well into their thirties and have been out of college for at least a decade,

>>220347814
Zillennial isn't even a thing, it's laughable zoomer cope.

>>220347803
I was 13 when tpm came out. 13 year olds were pretty were pretty split, with younger 13 year olds more likely to like them and older 13 year olds less likely. The one 14 year old I knew of who liked tpm was held back a year. Which means he didn’t pass the second grade because the next year social promotion would start.

>>220344600
This. But also, boomers don't get that the movies were just part of the experience. Like yeah, if I just saw Attack of the Clones as an adult I'd be like "The fuck, they show up like 10min at the end?". But as a kid you were hyped and you filled out the rest of the clone shit with toys and vidya and comics and Genndy's show. I didn't even watch the 2008 clone wars, at that point the prequel era was over, wish I had in retrospect though, would have loved it.

>>220347856
It is a thing. Basically being pubescent or older in 1999 means you have nothing in common with “millennials” who weren’t. You’d know completely different worlds. My first “cable box” was made of wood and only had 13 channels, and that was a fucking ton of channels.

>>220344636
>those games sucked.

>>220347965
Yeah probably too old then for most. I think if you were 13 when AoTC came out then that was a better fit, if only for grown up Anakin. Being around 5 when tpm came out and 8 for AoTC was perfect though. I do remember even feeling a bit old when RoTS came out, was definitely self aware at age 12 and had a bit of a detachment to it I hadn't had previously.

>>220348114
Anon. They were stripped down rts for retards.

>>220341229
People loving the prequels is a new thing in reaction to how bad the Disney movies are. It's similar to the phenomenon where democrats suddenly loved dubya after two-scoops got elected. I disliked Phantom Menace (especially Jar Jar & Young Anakin) so much as a teen that I didn't bother to see the other films in theaters.

The point he is making is that 90s millennials and zoomers have more in common with each other than with other cohorts of their generation. You can't even really tell the difference between them. It's entirely artificial. Same way late 70s Gen X and early 80s millennials are more similar to each other than the rest of their supposed generation. There's zero difference between someone born in 78 and 82. They look the same, they grew up in the same culture, they speak and behave the same, they have the same interests and tastes and so on.

>>220348254
>People loving the prequels is a new thing in reaction to how bad the Disney movies are

No. It’s the same people who liked them because they saw them as children just seeming louder and louder as there are fewer and fewer voices.

>>220348127
I think LOTR came along and ate their lunch too, it was hard to keep excited for Star Wars when a better trilogy happened in the middle of it

>>220348513
The prequels being shit spurred tons of other creatives to just to better. You’ve got a better version of a darth vader origin story hidden in the expansion pack of an rts.

>>220348298
>There's zero difference between someone born in 78 and 82.
True, but there is a huge big between someone born in 90 and 99. Someone born in the early nineties is going to be far more similar to someone born in the late eighties than the late nineties/early 2000. Just because they were born in the same decade doesn't mean they came of age under a similar cultural zeitgeist. The boundary between generation that makes some a "xillennial" or "zillennial" boundary is 2-4 years, not an entire decade.

>>220348761
The early 90s and late 90s were different worlds anyway. Total Recall and The Phantom Menace are both 90s movies. Battletoads and Sonic Adventure are both 90s games. Doug and the Powerpuff Girls are both 90s cartoons.

>>220348761
>Someone born in the early nineties is going to be far more similar to someone born in the late eighties

No, they aren’t. Only “90s” kids say this.

>>220348832
Technically the 90s don’t start until 91, and total recall is pretty much distilled 80s

>People loving the prequels is a new thing in reaction to how bad the Disney movies are
I'm sure that's why Star Wars was making billions on the movies, games and merchandise during the prequel era, because people really hated the prequels, right? So much that it killed the brand and all interest in it, oh wait, that didn't happen at all. Prequel hatred was only a thing in the Gen X bubble. Everyone else either loved them or were indifferent to them, because they weren't that special for their time. The big difference between the OT and the prequels, is that OT was unique, groundbreaking and fresh for its time. There was nothing quite like it. Prequels came out after two decades of the most amazing IPs and franchises, and they had the misfortune to release sandwiched between two biggest IPs of the new generation - Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. At least Lucas had the foresight and wisdom to rework the setting. That's what gave the franchise second wind. Had he made prequels with the same feel and aesthetic as OT, he would have made OT fans happy in the short term, but these movies would have been received like a wet fart among the general population, and Star Wars would have quickly faded into obscurity. It's a classic "you think you do but you don't" type of situation.

>>220341311

You dumbasses know they made an actual movie about the Star Wars prequels being shit right, it was about a boy with a terminal disease taking a road trip to Skywalker ranch to break in and watch the first prequel movie before the kid ended up dying, they even spell it out that after the kid met George and was granted his wish, even he thought the movie was bad

>>220350954
while there are a lot of foreign subversives and faggot contrarian trolls here, there are a lot of zoomers who legitimately defend the prequels. what happened is the prequels were so widely disliked that it became a joke meme to defend them, hence /r/prequelmemes, and that was right around the time zoomers started getting online and they thought it was authentic.

Zoomers sincerely believe that some youtuber they have a gay feud with convinced people to hate the phantom menace in 1999, several years before youtube actually existed. They can't conceive of a world other than what they were born into. They'll claim everyone loved TPM in one tab, and then in the other tab they'll lament how Jake Lloyd and Ahmed Worst were bullied over it even though supposedly everyone loved it. "Hey Ahmed, you were in that movie we all liked, loser!"

At some point you just have to accept that a lot of people on this site are legitimately fucking retards, and it's almost criminal that they're allowed to speak instead of having their throats cut. It is what it is.

I feel like my feelings on the PT tend to flip flop a lot. On the whole I don't know that'd I'd say they were terrific movies really, but if you were there. If you saw them at the time and were caught up in the hype of prequel mania, well I have to be honest, it may have well been the most fun I've ever had in a theater. I had a blast with my friends seeing it. Everyone dressed up, the theater was packed and people were waving glowing lightsabers around like it was a concert. It was an amazing time to be a fan. And I honestly miss it.

Ok, let me help you all stop being retarded. prequels were loved by kids (millennials, many not the older ones; some of the older zoomers too maybe) and hated by adults (gen x, boomers). But the general "consensus" in the media or whatever was that they were shit. Why? Well use your fucking brain, kids weren't running the fucking media. Now (for a while already) that millennials are more in charge of the "consensus", the prequels appear to have been "re-evaluated", which is false, the people in charge just changed, and any particular person's opinion basically has never changed. As a millennial I knew for a fact this was the case and that I was going to be proved right since about Revenge of the Sith came out.

I was in threaters across five different states for the first two movies and saw the third in multiple places too. They got standing ovations.

STANDING OVATIONS, in the movie theater, in all of those places. While what I witnessed was anecdotal, I moved across the majority of the midwest.

Yeah, and that's why millennials generally like the prequels, because they were kids when they came out. The prequel era was also the most successful era for Star Wars toy sales.

Stoklasa is almost 50, he is gen Xoomer. Ziggers just have no idea what a millennial is.

zoomers would believe anything.
that said. the prequels did make money, but critics hated jar jar IIRC. that's about it.
some woke lefty gaymers online thought disney buying out star whores would save the series. boi howdy they were wrong.

>>220353615
Yup. I saw all three opening night and there were costumed people and lightsaber fights in the lobby, theater, and bathrooms galore. During Ep 3. a man in the blue alien elephant costume from Return of the Jedi flashed and waved his erect penis in the bathroom to me and I yelped HUUUHHHHAHHH and ran back to the theater and didn't tell anyone cause I wanted to keep watching the movie and not have a big deal made with security trying to find a blue elephant man with a little 4 inch thin penis with a huge jet black tuft of pubes nearly as long as his shaft.

Boomer= 1950s n 60s.
Gen X= 1970s n 80s.
Gen Y=1990s n 2000s.
Zoomers= 2010s n 2020s.

millenials and alphas don't exist. journalists who invent stupid age ranges are retarded. and so are you.

you see, in the mind of a boomer original trilogy fag. their main gripe about the prequels is that it has jar jar binks and some wooden acting. but they are glazing over how fucking sweet the prequels really are.
then the boom tard original fans hate the sequels because they feel like they were cheated out of a han/luke/leia reunion, which was suppose to happen. but han gets killed off and the trio are never in the sequels in a single scene together.
the boom tards could join us on the dark side of the prequels being good, but they are such pretentious fucks thinking its all about them, i dont even care. im going to raise my kids to believe that the prequels are better than the original trilogy and the sequels are the worst. and there is nothing crybaby boom tards can say.

don't make sense since 1990s should be Gen Y.
and so called "millienials" also included born in 2000s when it was first coined IIRC. but as soon as retarded journalists and stupid full retarded journalist quoters like thyself started using "millenials", they totally forgot Gen Y was already a thing for years. it's like everyone in media and you zoomzooms got amnesia over Gen Y.

>>220341332
>Why are zoomies trying to rewrite history?

all goes into the same column.

they are immensely angry and full of FOMO over the fact that they have missed out on everything good in life…

so their only avenue is to claim everything has always sucked and it’s all the same.

tell them how good ‘90s fashion was and they’ll sperg despite not caring about fashion. it’s not the subject… it’s the fact the ‘90s weren’t experienced by them.

that’s why they will casually transition over to “but bruh remember 2016 bruh that was a fucking vibe bruh”,

>>220353911
Based

I don't see the divide between prequels vs sequels vs OT, but between Lucas era and Disney era. To me the hexalogy tells a complete story about the destruction of the old stoic order and its eventual restoration into a new, more human order. The Disney era films don't meaningfully build upon that, so I don't accept them.

Generation classifications need context. In this context there's:
1. People who weren't born in 97
2. People who were kids in 97
3. People who were older teens in 97
4. People who were adults in 97
1 and 2 like the prequals. 2 because of nostalgia, 1 because they grew up with even worse slop and the older cool kids liked them.

>>220353894
Honestly I don't how all this OOMER shit ever even got started, Boomers quite specifically and historically refers to a point in recorded history.

>>220354223
Why 1997? What's so special about that year?

>>220354282
One obsessed fag spammed the word "Zoomer" and "Doomer" in thread OPs for over 8 years straight on multiple boards until it caught on, and then hit the mainstream after that because 4chan is basically dominant over internet culture which has supplanted irl culture. Wish I was fucking joking, exaggerating, or retarded but no. That is literally where the word Zoomer comes from. One gigantic turbo faggot forcing the "22 year old Zoomer" meme through sheer spam. May he burn in hell

>>220354292
sorry 99, fuck you

1 and 2 were mixed at best but 3 was pretty well received

Watch the Plinkett reviews.

>>220354708
plinkett is gen x you fucking retarded mongoloid

>>220354708
read the fucking thread

>>220342761
The Plinkett reviews are weak arguments and pathetic whining that amounts to little more than 'it's not what I personally expected and this means George Lucas is in the wrong' which pandered very well to that certain section of the fanbase. Not only that, Mike shows how he can't even follow what's happening in the movie, and makes a series of criticisms that make absolutely no sense, since they are based on a misunderstanding. Or perhaps Mike is nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is? Then there's the 'describe the characters' bit, where Mike friends act as stooges in the narrative, do a terrible job of describing the characters in either movie (one guy struggles badly on Han Solo and literally shrugs as he forces his words out, others break Mike's own rules on what to describe, he includes it all anyway since they clearly didn't give him much material), and expects us to accept that the prequel characters are impossible to describe, which simply isn't true. This is just in the first 20 minutes and it's so laughably bad I can't believe those reviews are held up as some work of genius. You'd have to be retarded or have no mind of your own to think so.

4chan loves this zionist psyop.

>>220353974
this right here. the most tell-tale indicator of this is when one of them sees a thread about anything they don't recognize at first glance. it doesn't have to mention zoomers or even generations and they will sperg the fuck out as if you insulted them simply because they feel they arent included in the conversation

You actually believe this? My friends and I recently rewatched them and they all sucked, and Episode II was absolutely awful.

>>220341311

No it wasn't.
Non of the prequel was

Lmao cope

the way i remember it was that we liked it on release because we were still children at that point, then a couple years later when we hit our teens and rewatched them we realized they were dogshit with trash choreography and acting

>>220342775
Nobody liked them

You are no different from a a Snyder fan, with the same argument about shit that nobody will ever like

>>220341229
He's right.
It's funny how much seething this post caused but nobody wants to acknowledge how much the franchise still revolves around the prequels.
Not even the OT gets this much attention. The prequels ARE Star Wars at this point.

I was 15 when Revenge of the Sith came out and I saw it opening night with friends. People my age hated the prequels.

You were alone in the theater because you are a loser and other people weren't watching it at all

>>220354043
Lucas ruined SW with the prequels.
The divide is real

>>220341229
The Prequels aren't bad movies, but they're certainly bad in delivering the message George wanted them to.
Watching the movies and hearing the audio commentaries is WILD, because half the shit Lucas says doesn't match up with the fucking films. Like thinking Anakin was evil for wanting to save his mother, wife and father figure or wanting Dooku to actually be a psychopath who hates everyone and everything (as opposed to how he's portrayed in AotC)
It's amazing how you can read books like Archives and everything he says goes against what his own movies do. I half believe he changed his opinions after because they make no fucking sense

>>220355371
>Check the Plinkett review
Already have. They're made by retards for retards.

I have to assume all this revisionism is either flat-out ragebaiting or just idiocy from children who literally weren't even born when the movies came out.

>>220341311
only a fucking spastic would say something like this

>>220355496
There is no way to divorce the prequels from what they were trying to be. Unless all they were actually trying to be are commercials for children’s toys.

George had become insulated from anyone who’d call bullshit on anything he said, so he simply vanished up his own ass. Happens all the time.

did zoomers even see the prequels in theaters? I'm in my 30s and was a little kid when phantom menace came out in theaters. I don't think zoomers were even born yet

>>220341284
this, OP is a fag

>>220356739
Generation z starts at 1997, so they’d be toddlers for tpm but 8 for the third one. Which is about the right age for that pile of shit.

>>220341229
Inspiring shirposts is not an indicator of artistic or cinematic quality. People also make shitposts inspired by The Room.
Hell, in spite of what the retard in the OP is saying they even make shitposts inspired by the Sequels ("Somehow....[ X ] has returned..." literally became a meme, primarily due to how shitty that narrative dialogue is).

>>220341332
I fully expect them to revise history on the reception of Indiana Jones 4 pretty soon and claim "a ton of people loved it!" about that one too.

>>220356883
The oldest of them. Gen Z ends at 2013, so the average zoomer wasn't even born when prequels came out in theaters, and the ones that had already been born were too young to watch them or remember anything.

>>220345475

Everyone with an IQ over room temperature, yes. I saw TPM in the cinema. I was 11 and I loved Star Wars. I went in so hyped and what I saw left a black hole in my chest. I still vividly remember the soul-crushing feeling of depression when I walked out of the cinema because what I had seen was so unbelievably disappointing.

People who ever liked it are idiots. They're coming out of the woodwork these days because being a philistine is in vogue. It's the arts world equivalent of wearing your hair in a mullet to broadcast how unpretentious you are. There isn't and never was anything pretentious about disliking the prequels. It's not some affectation brought about to prove oneself as cultured, it's just an obvious fact that can be grasped by anyone with a modicum of intellect or creativity. Perfectly average kids figured out those movies were terrible decades ago. Anyone who couldn't do that is just a moron. You get a pass if you saw them when you were like 8 or younger. Any older than that and it's a red flag for whatever pitiful shit you have between your ears.
