>bro people TOTALLY liked the prequels back then
>>
Lucas reminds me a lot of James Rolfe: a total idiot who accidentally created a cultural phenomenon, didn't understand what he had done, then completely butchered it because it didn't fit his autistic creative vision.
>>
>>220363348
People did, autistic manchildren screeching online did not.

I don't even like the prequels but the people who made this documentary deserve to be shot. Remember, the question it poses isn't
>Are the Star Wars prequels good movies?
It's
>Who REALLY owns Star Wars?
That's not open to debate. It's his. He busted his ass making it.

Well millions of people didn't see all three movies in theaters and buy copies of the movies on DVD and Blu-Ray because they didn't like them.

we should honestly just kill gen x now, there's no reason to let them continue on
>>
>>220363348
The prequels were and still are the highest grossing independent films of all time, and were made entirely outside the Hollywood system. Hollywood media smeared the shit out of them because they didn't want George Lucas to make more movies and inspire other filmmakers to go independent, and they didn't want a future George Lucas to rise up and challenge them.
>>
>>220363751
George seems to be extremely smart, considering he made a multimedia empire built on his original ideas that he sold for $4 billion. You seem to be extremely stupid yo not understand this.

Prequel hate is a bunch of adults criticizing a kids movie.

General Xers are truly deranged and cringe. The older they get the more boomer they become. Meanwhile, the older the prequels get, the better they age and the more beloved they become.

I know you guys don't care about twitter and that's good, but since this is relevant to the topic you might want to know that twitter is ABSOLUTELY STEAMING FURIOUS at rlm right now. the whole "rlm is responsible for the sequels being bad!!!! rlm bullied my childhood by shitting on the prequels!!!!" thing finally caught on there and has hit critical mass, it's on the front page feeds constantly. millennials are walking out of 13th storey windows over it, it's a madhouse. just angry manchildren literally shitting bloody nuggets saying it's all rlm's fault that star wars is "dead" now
>>
>>220363348
To be fair, those guys who made that documentary were fat basement-dwelling neckbearded manbabies, who didn't understand the basics of filmmaking or writing and cared more for "muh lore" than characters and themes.
Wait ... why does that sound so familiar?

>>220363348
don't worry, we're getting the actual original Star Wars in theaters next year non-stupid edition for the 50th anniversary and by extrapolation Empire and ROTJ upcoming as well. After John Normie sees the original trilogy without the downgrades in IMAX it will actually be over for both Prequel and Sequel fags as everyone remembers what star wars really is

If RLM truly killed Star Wars it’s the best thing they’ve ever done

"Original ideas"

>>220364254
Star Wars itself is an original idea that takes inspiration from several sources, mainly Joseph Campbell's hero with 1000 faces.

>>220364088
Cringe and embarrassing

Kids loved them and that's all that mattered

>>220363751
What's the scale issue here? The systems leaving end up forming the CIS, which is going to be the Republic's enemy in a galactic-scale war.
>>
>>220364349
are you retarded
>>
>>220363751
I think the Republic is retardedly huge and expansive but even if there were 10,000 planets in it a few thousand going against it in a civil war is believable.
>>
>>220363721
That millennials and Gen Xers are cringe incarnate.
>>
the prequels movies are weak but they have a soul and the extended media especially video games and later the clone wars show really fleshed it all out

this is why people are fond of them or at least the characters and era despite their faults

if i remember right this documentary was also in part calling lucas out on changing the originals with the special editions that criticism is valid to this day and he did get weird with some of the changes and additions

in comparison to disney wars this still was a golden age of star wars
>>
>>220364659
would be funnier if zoomers werent the biggest faggots out there
>>
>>220364688
I couldn't be bothered to track all the changes throughout the years but I think Lucas made even more after that documentary came out.
>>
>>220364738
this documentary came out in 2010 he sold star wars in 2012
>>
>>220363348
There was also a movie called fanboys, that detailed the life of a dying teen who's last wish was to watch the new star wars movie, so he took a road trip with his friends to break in to skywalker ranch, he ends up getting caught and Lucas takes pity and lets him see the movie before he dies and he ends up telling his friends it's dogshit lol
Everyone hated the prequels and movies were made stating it outright
>>

Are you? How is Star Wars not an original idea?
>>
>>220364820

no he didnt
the last scene is them in the theater at premiere going "guys what if the movie sucks?"
>>
>>220364842
That scene actually isn't that cool if you rewatch the whole thing. It's all Maul's entrance and taking out his saber as his theme song hits. After the entrance it's all downhill.
>>
>>220363838
This. Critics seethed uncontrollably because Lucas was able to do all this outside their system. That was the start of prequel hate even before the butthurt unc brigade got activated.

I liked them because I didn't watch the original trilogy and knew nothing about Star Wars at the time desu. I got really emotionally invested in Anakin's story and was fucking emotionally devastated watching Revenge Of The Sith for the first time. After finding out that those movies were a prequel to an already existing story, it made me less impressed with them, but I can still remember what an amazing journey of an experience it was watching them for the first time. If the original trilogy didn't exist, those movies would've been really up there for me. Making a sci-fi epic that presents itself as a heartfelt heroic story but gradually turns into a dark and edgy af downfall plot about a chosen one becoming an evil psychopathic monster who threw away all of his potential and destiny and became the very thing he was destined to destroy for a selfish reason, would've been ballsy as fuck even today. Imagine if Harry Potter ended with Harry becoming a new Voldemort, murdering all the first-year students at Hogwarts, and enslaving all the wizards and Muggles

Several thousand systems is a crazy high number. Especially given we see the galactic senate has room for a few hundred representatives at most, the entire PT and OT stories take place around 10 planets at most, and feature the same dozen species of Aliens. The clone army is also given as 200k with 1million more to come. The idea that there are trillions of random Aliens spread out over 10000+ systems all wiling to rebel against the Republic which must therefore be another 10000+ systems just doesn't compute with the scale shown to us.

Been here quite a long time but I'm still taken aback by some anons that try to"inform" others or "fuel a discussion" by talking about a very real thing but completely making up everything about it but its existence.
I know nowadays people mostly come here to vent and dump their intrusive thoughts without a care, but something like this goes beyond an ordinary shitpost. Seriously, what kind of person would write this huge amount of bullshit in such an "honest tone"?

Maybe, but you got the reference completely wrong. It's clear you did not actually watch the movie, you made up an ending that does not exists.

Have you actually read Harry Potter? That's literally what the whole story is about:
Harry actually killed Squirrel and incinerated his body, then claimed he did it because the victim had been possessed by Voldemort

>Harry helps a dangerous animal and a convicted murderer escape, excuses it by shifting the blame on his best friend's rat
>Harry kills his rival Cedric who is about to beat him in some shitty tournament, then blames it all on Voldemort
>Harry tries to kill his cousin, blames dementors
>Harry kills Dumbledore, blames it on Snape
>Harry kills Snape and burns down his school, says that Voldemort came back from the dead and did it

The actual truth is:

1. Prequel hate was around long before RLM
2. RLM didn't start Prequel hate but they made the discourse around Star Wars both better and worse because now midwits don't have to say "Jar Jar sucks" or harass Jake Lloyd and Ahmed Best, and just mindlessly copy whatever talking points RLM had without thinking, like the Plinkett character test, so now discussion was just insufferable in a different way
3. A lot of these midwits defend the Sequel Trilogy without realizing they look dumber than RLM for doing so

They were still better than the sequels.

Everybody is entitled to their own stupid opinion on the internet but I will never let people forget Disney's hamfisted social media attempt at rehabilitating the prequel trilogy after it was sold but before the sequels came out.
>>
>>220363348
I don't get the point of this argument
>well the prequels were hated too at first
let's say that's true, they still had absurd merchandise sales through their run and 10 years on they had a fanbase. Sequel merch ends up at Big Lots and 10 years on still has no fanbase. The only people who seem to argue on behalf of the sequels are people who don't even like star wars but are desperate to convince star wars fans they should totally watch these movies (that you yourselves won't watch) to prove some retarded political point. It's the WNBA argument of science fiction
>well I won't watch it
>but you need to watch it to make me feel better about my politics chud
>>
>>220366533
the way I've heard it described is that the OT is a fine meal at your favorite restaurant, the prequels are a dry gas station sandwich with a bag of stale chips. The sequels are a steaming log of shit, when looking at the shit suddenly you find yourself saying that gas station sandwich wasn't so bad.
>>
>>220366605
I find it hilarious that virtually nobody ever mentions the spin-offs when discussing the franchise as a whole. (Rogue One gets mentioned here and there, but not that often)
>>
>>220366630
The spinoffs don't inspire as much of an emotional reaction because the bad ones tend not to stick around, nobody is trying to convince you to watch Solo 10 years after the fact for example. The Sequel trilogy has been lingering like a bad fart for years due to the sheer amount of money and political nonsense that got sunk into it.

Mandalorian always feels like a whole separate discussion, like Batman and DC comics, nobody watches a Batman movie and cares what DC is doing for example.

idiots bought prequel merch thinking it would be as promising to a collector as the original trilogy, they were wrong
there's so few cool things about the prequels, shipwise: you got the silver bullet ship, the jedi fighter, and the droid fighter. All the capital ships suck and are unaesthetic versions of their original trilogy successors
None of the characters have memorable or cool lines, even yoda felt hollow compared to his original trilogy version
The ground battles all had stupid looking vehicles and walkers
The prequels had terribly designed models for a toy line
The wearable merch is what sold t-shirts idk
whatever the prequels sold merch wise wasn't because of the quality of the media, but probably from the nostalgia of the original trilogy and fomo

this is backwards, rogue one sucks compared to solo, but solo came out shortly after the last jedi which killed interests in the franchise

The prequels have so many memorable lines that have become timeless memes. Darth Maul is one of the best character designs in all of star wars. The pod racing scene spawned one of the best video games of its era. You're retarded.

Rogue One is the only good Disney star wars. Solo turned han solo in to a sad little orphan boy with a heart of gold who only became a smuggler to simp for a girl who winds up cucking him.

this is so ridiculous, you mention the prequels have so many memorable lines and then you follow it up be referencing a character which is essentially a mute for the entire time he's on screen, you're so pathetic
the original trilogy was so memorable people would quote obi'wan and mimic yoda's vocal mannerisms and accent because of his sage like wisdom he was dropping in the original trilogy, if you only saw the prequel trilogy yoda wouldn't have nearly the impact

Zoomer here. I like the prequels because of the character-driven story, cool lightsaber fights, and Anakin's character and his arc. The fantastic Clone Wars show makes those movies even better. It's funny that you middle-aged, fat, balding fucks whine about le Jar Jar and le sand but give Chubaca and "NO IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" a pass

I liked them, but I was 9 years old when TPM released, so of course I fucking did.

I think a lot of people liked them, but only in a very, very casual way and a lot of that love just stemmed from being part of a cultural phenomenon/marketing frenzy. I don’t think the majority of watchers were critically analysing the movies.

Mark Hamill - “I almost got hornswoggled into that documentary. They weren’t calling it ‘The People vs George Lucas’ at the time. But I could tell from the questions they were asking me that it was an open invitation to trash George. And I have issues with George, but I love that man I would never…you know I don’t talk outside the family. It’s just brutal…”

The Clone Wars cartoon was the most serious show that you could catch on Cartoon Network. There's a lot of bad filler, but it has sizeable amount of arcs, like the Vietnam war one, and all the others from the Clone perspective

Hollywood critic shills, at behest of rival Hollywood studios, were ordered to relentlessly smear the prequels in to the dirt and destroy and slander George Lucas's reputation. The gullible trusting public believed the critic shills because in those pre-yputube days film critics word was God. Kids meanwhile grew up loving the prequels, reading the books, buying the merch and watching the cartoon. The prequels are still tge highest grossing independent films of all time, and were produced entirely outside of the Hollywood system, as Lucas famously hated Hollywood. The merch from the prequels earned George billions more.

On the topic though yeah the prequels weren't seen as masterpieces back then but they weren't also so filled with vitriol or supreme backlash. Episode 1-3 were big events regardless of what angry nerds think of them and how they "killed their childhood" which is and has always been a retarded take, the Sequels damaged the soul and any future expectations which is far worse because no one cares anymore.

>>220364038
RLM absolutely deserves the lion share for the movies being over hated. Sure they were simply there at the right place right time but, If you shared any positive take or opinion of the prequels you would have people ask if you seen the Plinkett reviews. All discussion and criticism would just turn to Mikes talking points and any ideas of how to fix star wars also just branch from them as well. That with the fact that the fixes they want are contradictory, to paraphrase "The lightsaber is just a tool why is it being revered... The lightsaber is like the be all thing it turns jedi into superheros having it used like a tool just makes it less special" its nonsensical when you actually keep track to what's being said. The parroting just makes any discourse about the movies almost impossible and people taking it as critical dogma harms the prequels more then anything in the films themselves
>>
>>220363621
Lmao why did this trigger people
>>
>>220363621
Except it's the other way around, Lucas knew exactly what he was doing, but simplified it too much, so by the time the Prequels came around people who thought they understood what was going on, but didn't, threw a hissy fit.

Did you not see the Prequel hype in real time? It was people aged 10 to 30 that were going crazy for them. Star Wars is very clearly a generational thing.

>Boomers and GenX
Original trilogy
>Millennials
Special Editions and Prequels
>Zoomies
Clone Wars (for some of them), Sequels
>Alphas
The wasteland of NuWars

Explain every fucking parody making fun of prequels for being shit.

How many people need to talk about being 9-14 when the prequels came out and recognizing they were shit before you stop pushing this completely false narrative?

The idea that RLM gaslight multiple generations into hating those films is retarded. Those videos have a few million views, the average person you’d ask about them has never heard of RLM or the Plinkett reviews. Star Wars, on the other hand, is a massive cultural icon, it was the prequel movies themselves that made people think “wow this sucks”.
Blaming RLM is actually paying those guys a compliment by massively overestimating their cultural impact.

This might come as a surprised to you anon, but most comedy writers are massive nerds.

why is everyone talking about star wars all of a sudden? did some new disney slop come out?
>>

Stars wars day was this week
And some fags on twitter brought up the ongoing argument about the prequels not being that bad
>>
>>220377210
Disney said they're erasing the sequels

If you look at the senate it's already several thousand representatives. It also makes the universe feel too populated that they have a galaxy that has around 10k different space faring species all at once. That just sounds like something that would make forming a galactic republic an impossible thing to do.

They didn’t. It’s a rumor with no basis to it. Zero chance they do this. The Rey movie and Starfigter are both coming next year, they’re not gonna sabotage those by preemptively decanonizing them
>>
>>220377266
if only there was an order or clairvoyant space wizards with limited mind control powers to ease tensions before they could result in conflict.

Everyone always hated the prequels.

It’s funny how the franchise revolves around the Jedi yet the Jedi are incompetent in every Star Wars story from the movies to the shows to the games. Like they’re good fighters but suck at their actual role as a monastic order of peacekeepers.

>>220363838
have you even seen the movies?
>>
>>220376519
That was more a question of them being contemporary with each other.
>>
>>220377371
because that's hard to write.

>>220377319
They would be constantly having to put out squabbles to the point they might as well just become negotiators as full time job instead of monk warriors.
>>
>>220376141
In this case it could very well just be confusion about episodes 4-6 being the ones that came first. Someone who doesn't know a lot about Star Wars would probably just assume the prequels came first and are "the original trilogy", because why wouldn't they?
>>
>>220377371
They were never originally written as guys who hold talks. They were peaceful warrior monks who practiced their religion in isolation and when the galaxy needed to be protected they would get called on. Making them constantly being involved in each situation takes away the mystery around them
>>
>>220377810
>Hmm the first three movies seem to look far more modern in production value vs 4-6 which looks like something from 50-40 years ago
>Eh whatever

You wouldn't know that unless you'd already seen the films.
