Except Revenge Of The Sith, KOTOR 2, and the clone wars multimedia project

The prequels and all of the eu do feel free to cope

@@subjectnivleis7572 i definitely think ROTS has the OT beast. As for the ENTIRE EU, i heard legacy of the force is a disaster so…..

​@@subjectnivleis7572 the prequels sucked then and they suck now. Feel free to develop a sense of good taste. Grow up and stop putting ketchup on everything.

Uncut Pod Race > Death Star Trench run…yeah, I said it. Stakes might not be as high, but the visual experience levels it out.

At least the prequels had solid characters, themes, and planet designs along with ACTUAL competent external media like KOTOR and the clone wars multimedia project

@@clonetrooper2003 , I've never liked Ahsoka as a character even before Disney over used her, and the only female Jedis and Siths that I like from Prequels, Legends, and OG Trilogy are Slave Leia, Darth Gean, Darth Talon, Ventress, Jacen Solo, Aayla Secura, and Mara Jade Skywalker.

Isn't it hugely ironic though, that as worried as Disney was way back in 2012-15 at using too much of George's Treatments, having anything in their sequels that harkened back to the prequels, for fear audiences and fans would hate it. Look now how TPM has suddenly become most watched on their D+

were they planned though? And even if, it did not help them much did it?

@@meganoob12 Yes they were planned. It DID help them much

That's a bit of an overstatement when it comes to the prequels, and it shows just how bad the sequel movies are that the prequels are now being so highly regarded.

Agreed. The Prequels are finally getting their due and I am loving it.

The lamestream media (and Disney) are desperate for the Prequel effect to happen for the Sequels, that we will come to like the Sequels just like we did with the Prequels. But the former were meh movies with badly executed good ideas. There are no good ideas in the Sequels, and all of them are badly executed. The Prequels at least were made with love for Star Wars, the Sequels were made with utter hatred and contempt for both Star Wars and the fans. They will NEVER be accepted. Accept of course by the last of the faithful still willing to lap up everything Disney shats out, cause it has the Star Wars label to it. These people do exist.

It's aged normally lol. They are still very, very flawed movies.

@@ChaptermasterPedroKantor-kv5yw That's what I'm saying, is whether u like the prequels or not no one can deny the fact that they feel like Star Wars. Especially The Phantom Menace. It feels like the film is part of the same universe. Nothing that Disney did feels like watching Star Wars. Even the return of Han Solo played by the great Harrison Ford couldn't save those films.

yes Red Letter Media didn't understand the Hegelian Dialectic that the Sith Lord pulled off to weaken the Jedi and waste their time and resources. It's what is happening to america. Your military is sent to go fight overseas in wars you have no reason to be in and there is no enemy after WW2. So enemies are manufactured to keep wars going on and on and on for an indefinite time. The rich benefit from it then strip rights from you as if you are in wartime 24 7. America started a free republic, then now it's an empire. (The 911 terror event made everyone an enemy of the government and you have honmeland security to oppress your own people, even though it was an inside job)

Yes that's very true. Like take American Govt playing both sides, the CIA, Military Industrial Complex with Vietnam in the 60s/70s, then Contra in the 80s. Their exploitation of Iraq through the decades. How they played Israel and Palestine off against each other (which is still escalated right now today). Those things are alot like Palpatine and how he used the Trade Federation, to instigate and cause the "Star Wars" in the Galaxy, that would eventually destroy the Republic from within, and from it's ashes create the *Empire*.

Deadass

Yup! OT boomers who were disappointed by Episode 1 are the same idiots that waved their American flags cheering for war and hating the "terrorist enemy" after 9/11... The generation that grew up with the prequels is much keener to noticing flaws with our government..... very interesting

Disney appreciates the cash injection...... simp

We left before acolyte bs. Only reason they rereleased it was o slide acolyte into prequels DM!

Glad you had fun and I am glad to see the growing prequel appreciation. Still, I do not like the Disney Corporation for a variety of reasons and I choose to not support them in any way. I would like to see the prequels in theaters again, but I cannot betray my own convictions when it comes to Disney. That is just my choice. Glad you enjoyed yourself, though!🙂

It's still overall solid on its own merits. We don't need to compare it to Disney to do so.

Prequels were always good cope harder peasants including the moron in the video

@@clonetrooper2003 & @stans303 let's not get carried away - there are plenty of faults with it still. I still prefer Rogue One over it and I'm about the same age as WorldClass here

@@TheFroneyZone genuine flaws? Maybe. And thats fine

I'd say TPM was a 6 out of 10. It just barely made it past the okay finish line, mostly because of the Qui-Gon and Obi Wan chemistry, Ray Parks k1lling it as Maul and Ian McDiarmid having the time of his life as Palpy. OOTC is a 5 out of 10 and ROTS a 7 out of 10. So TPM is not gold by any standard, unless those standards have been really lowered into the Marianas Trench.

From a more civilised age. Before the dark times.

lol u deserve more likes and u could put most modern hollywood films on this list.

The Duel with Maul with John William's Duel of Fates playing is a work of art, definitely one of the best moments of the entire Star Wars Saga. Also, pod racing is a fun aspect of the Star Wars universe and was invented by this movie, and not supported by any other film. The movie was very creative and executed on it too, gungans fightings droids etc.

For the sounds of the podracers they used actual engine sounds, like a Porsche and F1 cars.

@peterslaby9782 agreed about the sound of the pod race!

Considering that Rise of Palpy still made a billion I wouldn't say TPM did better today. Also, fans still gave money to Disney, so you're not giving them the finger, you're giving them your money. Which they will use to push for more radical agendas to your kids.

@@ChaptermasterPedroKantor-kv5ywA voice of reason amidst all this perplexing "celebration" of Phantom Menace making millions at the box office. Glad to know I am not the only one who realizes this...

"No, Master."

NO, SENSEI!

What are these sequels you speak of ?

They aren't canon Rogue One is not canon Solo is not canon Rebels is not canon Mandalorian is not canon Obi Wan show is not canon Acolyte is not canon Ashoka is not canon Shall I keep going??

@@LUCKO2022 Lucas liked *_Rogue One._* Cope with that at least.

Yes!! Finally!

Oh man that is a stretch. So George intentionally wrote really wooden, lifeless, boring dialogue because all of the characters don't come from earth? Why were Darth Vader, Obi Wan, Yoda, Emperor, all so much better written in the OT? They all have great lines. In fact, they have almost nothing but great lines in the OT lol. The weakest lines come from Ep IV, which George also wrote and directed. The answer is simple. George is an elite producer and idea man. But he is not good at writing screenplays and is maybe worse as a director. He can't pull a performance out of an actor, he's lazy. He thinks if they say the line as written, then it's a keeper. The behind the scenes on the prequels is so revealing when it comes to his directing and writing style. He let his ego get the better of him, should've brought Kasdan back to actually write the screenplay and hired a great director.

@@marcpjoyner One of George's inspirations was the type of acting you would see in films from the golden age of Hollywood (1930s -1940s). To some people today, they could be seen as a little wooden when it comes to their dialogue, but back when they were made, they were very popular. Look at films like Casablanca or Gone With The Wind, and I believe you can see what George was trying to emulate. Even the OT had a few moments like that.

@@tyrannozilla Sure we know he was inspired by the era of serials, but I've never specifically heard him say the dialogue is based off of that, or trying to make the actors convey Clark Gable and Rita Hayworth. I think he wrote that way because he isn't a good writer, and just can't come up with believable conversations between people. He himself is very wooden and boring to listen to, and it carries over into his dialogue in Ep I-IV. Although the convoluted dialogue in IV is usually less offensive than what we saw in the prequels. If that's what he wanted, he sure didn't pass the message unto Kasdan or Kershner. If you look at the comments of Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher "you can type this shit, but you can't say it." Or Mark Hamill saying how George couldn't tell him how Luke was supposed to be feeling in any particular scene. I can't quite remember the quote from Harrison Ford, I think from Empire of Dreams, when he was criticizing Lucas's directing style and how he would rush to get everything in one take and didn't care how it looked or sounded. George himself told Empire magazine that he can't write dialogue. This is less a tribute to classic movies, and just an example of limited talent. It was his ego that got the better of him, wanting to control everything himself instead of handing the reins to more talented screenwriters and directors. It shows. The behind the scenes is really telling, how he's surrounded himself with yes-people who couldn't criticize him. It's just such a weird thing, because he created this brilliant story, but he usually makes it worse the more involved he is. The dialogue and some of the direction in IV, the weak parts of the film are a result of him. The dozens upon dozens of examples of childish humor and gags in Phantom Menace. The mountains of boring emotionless dialogue delivered by uninspired actors in Clones. More boring dialogue delivered unconvincingly in Sith, with poorly executed reasons for Anakin turning. Return of the Jedi he pushed Ewoks, vetoed Han dying heroically, and encouraged a more kid-friendly movie instead of continuing to darken the tone as the series matured. Then almost every single addition he made to the Special Editions was a huge miss. Great producer and idea man, but a poor screenwriter and an uninspired director.

I believed that I've heard interviews from George and other crew members that one of the inspirations was those older films. Also, this was covered in the fan documentary "The Prequels Strike Back." I recommend giving it a look when you can. Also, even if I agreed with you about some of the dialogue feeling clunky, it still feels more like Star Wars dialogue compared to what Disney has done. Characters now saying more Earth-like words, like "shit" in "Andor" for example.

​@@tyrannozilla to be fair, a new hope says damn a couple of times, but that can be chalked up to early installmeny weirdness, like the very not-cauterized arm obi wan chops off in mos eisley. Lucas has stated numerous times that he sees it as a tragic soap opera underneath the sci fi fantasy settings, as well as that he made star wars to be a modern myth to impart lessons actual myths are designed to teach young men. So both of those inspirations also probably have an effect on the dialogue. As classical myth and stage plays are what inspired the golden age style of dialogue writing (in fact a lot of golden age movies ARE adaptations of Renaissance era plays, greek tragedies, and pieces of mythology).

And in the E.T. movie, E.T recognizes Yoda when he sees a kid walk by dressed up as him.

I always noticed the paintings of the extra Naboo fighters in the background just before Maul appears since they didn't/couldn't make enough for the hangar :)

Yes, that was Lucas's homage and nod to his movie-making friend Spielberg. There's also a pod from 2001 Space Odyssey laying arnd in Watto's scrapyard. A blink and you'll miss it shot of a YT freighter pulling into dock at the Coruscant spaceport.

I dont watch those review because they have terrible arguments

I agree dude. The plinkett reviews are cringy. Who wants to listen to a fat old nerd make a "fat old nerd" voice for an hour making dumb jokes? ​@@clonetrooper2003

I still like the Plinkett reviews. I think they were groundbreaking as far as reviews go. I still think they make great points. I think it would be great to see a retrospective of them.

@@vehnashur2771 I don't see the merit in them. A lot of the criticisms against the film are played off as one liners and usually aren't even correct. Also, he drawls on and on about subjective opinions. It's an ensemble like episode 4,5, and 6. So no protagonist. As if that matters. Tone is subjective. I saw it in theaters and it kicked ass. Everyone loved it.

@@vehnashur2771 l take

We’re the same age! I never over hated the prequels like the rest of these weirdos. Honestly the hate for the movie was media driven. Most fans I was surrounded by at the time loved it. We went back multiple times during its original run. I’m glad I got to experience it with my son yesterday

@@tjcarr8097 yeah exactly. I saw it 5 times in the theater throughout its original run.

@@tjcarr8097 And bt media, mainly the bullcrap pushed by the RED LETTER kind, if you know what I mean

Yeah Qui Gon was a solid character. He wasn't a dogma of the Jedi Order but yet was still very in tune with the force

I remember skipping school for the Return of the Jedi special edition. Saw the other two at midnight with my mom though. But dad told me to see RotJ during the day and gave permission for me to skip school. Fast forward a couple years and TPM was released. Midnight showing with my friends and senior year in high school. Good times. Thanks dad 😊

They are delusional

And Disney shills are going to jail.

Is it because you are just trying to spite the sequels or have you actually waken up to the genuine redeeming qualities of the prequels compared to the new dumpster fires>

I saw someone with the bucket. It was plastic with just some art printed on it I would bought it for extra $5. R2 looked cool but could not justify the price. My 9 yo LOVED the experience though. First Star wars movie in theater and he is so all in ATM.

And every dime goes to Disney. Not seeing the victory in any of this.

Yeah sure buddy! 😂 If the sequels didn’t exist the prequels would still be outright hated.

@@Silver77cyn Actually the PT was 50/50 with the audience and the ST was hatred from TLJ to TROS and people picked up the signs of JJ ripping off from the OT in TFA. Also did you know that the Disney hasn't made back what it cost them to buy Lucasfilm still? O yes it is has been confirmed.

I was the same age and yeah, 1980 was a perfect year to enjoy 'The Empire Strikes Back', but waiting for three whole years to see 'Return of the Jedi' (1983) was absolute hell. Haha! I had to laugh at people whining when the original trilogy was rereleased in 1997 and people whined that there were three-month gaps between the movie releases. Try waiting for three years to find out if Darth Vader was actually Luke's father! Hahaha! :)

Best film EVER.

Same.

I'm English but always had a bit of a fascination with aircraft carriers, the way they are essentially little cities all to themselves. Sounds amazing :)

Cheese is the reason he sold it. Prove me wrong.

​@@fullgooseloot just wrong, no proof needed. That is ridiculus.

And Lucas will be getting it back when the government breaks up Disney and hands the franchise back to him on a silver platter.

@zerozerohero7189 he sold star wars because he's a greedy fuck who took far too much credit for star wars when in reality he was only one of the few people that came together to make it.

Me and my mate skipped out on sixth form for the day to watch it. Our other "friend" told on us, nothing happened though, I guess the teachers understood lol

Hope you enjoy it better than the s*** that they're making now anyways😂

Me too lol

Like Thanos said in Endgame: "Perhaps I treated you too harshly..."

BURRRRRRNNN!!😂😂😂

Hated JarJar and was pissed off the big bad guy was killed in the first movie. I agree with you Phantom was not good at the time but it sure was damn exciting. Clone Wars was an amazing series and made Episodes 1 - 3 way better for sure. 1- in 1999 I stood in line for hours for tickets to the first showing. 2- Darth Maul 3- I hated Jar Jar and the death of Maul but I was so excited I wanted more.

But did he die? hmmm

@@youtubasoarus not if you watch the animated stuff but he won't be in another movie

​@@neilgroves7497he was in Solo.

@@mala6238 why remind us of that filth

He also as Darth Sidious made it so Nute Gunray would be in charge of the Trade Federation as someone who could wield power and influence but ultimately cowardly and controllable.
