Person posted:I don't even like the prequels but lol at the idea that prequel-likers are just "memeing" when like 90% of any prequel complaints on the internet are just badly recycled RLM catchphrases They haven't even watched them since they got the dvds after the theatrical release. For evidence, I present every post in this thread saying how great the movie was.

Mooey Cow posted:The prequels were always good here is an article from 2002 which says the same true things people still say today. I mean, you can actually skip one of the prequel movies entirely and it makes zero impact on the series suggests that maybe there's more to people not liking the prequels than being grognards.

cuntman.net posted:you can skip any movie in the series While technically true, there'd be a lot more confusion on the viewers part. Everything brought up in Ep1 is either never mentioned again, or has enough exposition to fill the viewer in if they never saw it.

The prequels managed to turn Samuel L Jackson into a 2d cutout. They're almost as bad as After Earth.

Peachfart posted:So, wait. People other than insufferable click bait bloggers being paid by Disney actually liked the prequels? lol No, just Extremely Online people like to say they do so they can argue about star wars, which is the thing they're actually doing for fun. No one actually watches them.

Then they aren't the same droids. They may have the same parts, but that's not 3po and r2

Well, he didn't produce it, didn't direct it, and didn't write the screen play. Please show me where it says he did and i'll totally retract my statements. oh wait, you can't cause even you know you're full of it!

Also it's really funny how you're super duper trying to prove he made The Last Crusade to show that he can make a good movie and ignoring the OT which he actually made and were good.

I mean, lets bring it all back to the original point of this, the dumbest of conversations. The OT were only good because he wasn't some kind of Movie Master and couldn't just ignore everyone shouting down his terrible ideas. As proof, lets look at the remasters of the OT, where nearly every change he makes is terrible. Also proof, the PT are him going full stupid into what he thinks are good ideas, and they're all terrible. He was involved in other movies that were good, but he didn't run the whole show. He had better directors, better producers, and better writers to reign in his dumb poo poo.

Guy A. Person posted:"The CGI was groundbreaking for the time" is not an equivalent statement to "George Lucas is a secret genius auteur who made the Prequel lovely on purpose" by basically any stretch It is tho because he had the option to NOT try to do groundbreaking awful CGI and just go with stuff that looked better.
