He directed one of the all time puppet effect movies ever! He probably could have done it for half the budget!! Because then you wouldn't have your expectations SUBVERTED

Sheev is dead, but you could have little Sheevichlorians running around and possessing people. He could crawl into people's ears and you could have a Wrath of Khan-esque scene where people are screaming and he scrambles his way through the ear hole...

It happened because there was no loving plan. Everything about that trilogy was visuals first and story last. It needed to ape the OT in everything because a bunch of manbabies were still angry about Gungans and podracing.

Yeah, I did like that they tried taking risks with the combat system. It's just that having it follow the odd gambit system of XII felt like the series was taking more and more control away from the player. Then XV came around and lol

So much of the dumb trilogy could have made sense if they had focused on showing rather than telling. Show the New Republic. Show them being demilitarized or readopting the Republic's "judicial forces" rather than an official army/navy. Have Luke be missing WITHOUT a map, and have Rey and Finn's starting story arc involve finding clues to hunt him down. loving use R2 instead of BB-8 because then you have a constant character who could help guide the newbies. Imagine if TFA had Rey finding a crashed X-Wing with a busted astromech. She repairs the astromech and finds out that it is R2. She runs into Finn via the same story arc, and they set out on a hunt to find Luke Skywalker. Hell, R2 could even have Luke's ROTJ lightsaber still on him. You could have another story with Leia trying to convince the New Republic to take the First Order/Imperial Remnant seriously. Han could still get merk'd, maybe in the process of trying to save the New Republic from the First Order's terrorist attack. You could even keep Poe, but just have him as a Wedge Antilles rather than the Goku of starfighter aces.

Let's leave Cine_D shenanigans in Cine_D I enjoy this subforum because it is a chill posting place. There also seems to be a general agreement that what you like is subjective, so people are going to disagree on what is good and what isn't. For the most part, I feel like those disagreements generate funny shitposts (like thinking up video game and rpg rules to fix the sequels, and posting Gungan cheesecake images). Oh, which reminds me... I come bringing a gift from the GBS Suez Canal photoshop thread:

It's good... From a certain point of view...

When I saw the TPM I was 16-17 and I remember enjoying most of it. I didn't like Jar Jar, Jake Lloyd, or some of the ship designs (they were so different from the OT but some were pretty). However, I loved the worlds he showed, like Naboo and Coruscant. They were so detailed and beautiful for the time. The music was good, the story was decent, and it gave us Qui-Gon who is still my favorite Jedi not named Luke Skywalker. I remember loving AOTC even more because of the worlds, the Battle of Geonosis and that love theme (minor 6ths are so beautiful). It wasn't perfect, but I immediately ran back to the theater to rewatch it for those reasons. I enjoyed ROTS as well because of the battles and conclusion of the story. It gave enough closure, and segued into the OT well enough. Padme dying of a broken heart was pretty funny, but it's a space opera. Opera in all its forms is larger than life. I never felt that way with any of the ST or Disney movies. I almost walked out on TFA when the plan to take out Starkiller Base was just throw poo poo at it and hope it blows up. Rey picking up the sabers to fight Ren after he punked Finn was my favorite moment, but that got ruined by how the end of that fight was telegraphed. Rogue One pretty much convinced me that I wouldn't like any of Disney's Star Wars movies because it felt so contrived. It wanted to connect poo poo that didn't need connect, like how the Death Star uses lightsaber crystals, a scientist knowingly built a flaw in it, the Tantive IV was at the battle along with Darth Vader. Then they used CGI to resurrect Tarkin. The only other Disney Star Wars movie I've seen is Solo via library dvd because I heard that Chewie stole the show. I regret that choice, since it just showed me that they doubled down on the unnecessary connections (loving fuel, Darth Maul, and the name origin). Now, I grew up watching the OT on VHS. I would watch them over and over, listen to the records, and daydream about the movies. I have zero pull to Disney's Star Wars projects despite that childhood fondness for the OT. Maybe it's because they stick so heavily with the OT design and props. At least the PT showed us strange new worlds and civilizations. The only planet that looked unique in the ST was Crait, and even that was a riff on Hoth.

Cease to Hope posted:I agree with all of this. On the subject of nostalgia, though, it's so weird to see people give the old EU a pass while rightly hitting the Disney movies for this. It's not something BA in particular has done to my knowledge, but it is a pattern I've seen. Oof, I loving HATED the EU doing poo poo like this. Lol at that book that made every person in the Mos Eisley cantina a super important player in the galaxy and stories like Skippy the R5 that blew its motivator on purpose to let R2 meet up with Luke. As if that place wasn't loaded with washed up moisture farmers or Hutt minions looking to drown their sorrows in a misty pint of space beer.

When I taught in Japan, almost ALL of my students liked the Prequel Trilogy. I had one student whose favorite character was Anakin. They also loved the Sequel Trilogy. I can't really think of a pair of trilogies that are more different in world-building. If they loved the PT out of nostalgia for it, why would they also love the ST when it is incredibly different story- and pacing-wise. People like different things for different reasons. There is no one right answer as to why people like things, and that's okay. Also Prequels good
