It seems to happen to ask the big Hollywood directors. They have a bunch of hugely successful movies and so they gain increasingly sole creative control over poo poo and have increasingly little input/editing from others. It happened with Peter Jackson too and those lovely hobbit movies where like anyone off the street could've watched them and been like "dude what are you doing"

Hey nerds. You are allowed to like and have nostalgia for poo poo movies. When you write "in defences of Darth Maul" and pretend it's high art nobody 'got' you look like a contrarian idiot.

He only stepped up to direct the movies because they wouldn't have happened otherwise and he definitely didn't put in the same effort he did for the lord of the rings movies. And then they turned out like poo poo, surprising more people than it should have.

When the let him do it as 2 he went all in. Insisted on cgi over forced perspective like lotr. It was all jackson unfortunately.

Can you actually summarise the plot of episode 1 succinctly? It's an overcomplicated and kinda nonsensical mess.

Individual scenes are simple (blow up space station, kill guy with sword, kiss your sister) but the overarching plot lines are pretty convoluted and confusing IMHO

Bucha assholes, manipulated by an even bigger rear end in a top hat take control of a planet’s trades to force a deal with the Queen so the biggest rear end in a top hat can get his seat on the senate. Also Jedi want to stop them and find a kid and fight a horned red man. They stop the bad guys but the biggest rear end in a top hat ends up on the senate so it works out for him.

I have a second printing of STAR WARS the novel. Made before Empire was written so theres some retcon material in it. This is 70s before cheap walmart tie-in nobels were a big thing. With this expanded novel the book of what would be called A New Home starts with.......trade routes. Legit "the Senate is mad at trade routes and getting disbanded blah blah blah" When Lucas got free reign he went straight back to that crap! He thinks its interesting

Suck it, Mom!", because lots of kids call their step-mothers Mom. It's like calling a dildo a novelty. The govt. knows you're selling hole stuffers and you know you're selling hole stuffers, but if you keep on poker-facing that cake topper nonsense long enough they decide it's not worth the argument.

Star Wars: A New Hope was rescued in the editing room. Instead of starting with a plasma gun battle and Darth Vader, it started with Luke on Tattoine just doing farm poo poo. Jabba the Hutt was just a fat guy. The Death Star battle took longer with an extra trench run, and there was no tension of "The Death Star is gonna blow up the base" pushing the scene. And more stuff in a youtube somewhere.

How many times do we even see an act of commerce in Star Wars? Where is all this supposed Trade even happening? (just off screen, in the Routes)

Cool, build a time machine and go back 12 years before everyone watched the same odyssey of a serial rapist spending 10 hours to explain these points to his victims and maybe people will actually be impressed by you just ripping off his entire thesis word for word and acting like it's your own clever and original insight.

The current ongoing trilogy has the exact same number of female, black, and gay characters. The whole point of the trilogy is that it's a "re-visualization" of the OT...
