Almost as bad as something like Darh Vader or Darth Sideous... Oh wait?

​@@brandonlyon730 Darth Vader has some vaguely menacing implications. It sounds like "invader". Darth Sidious though ? It's just "insidious" without the prefix. Darth Maul is just "he mauls people". General Grevious is "grievance". They're all pretty silly sounding. But the reason Vader works, is because he was the only one with that sort of name, in 3 movies. Then the Prequels came along and we had all sorts of names with bad guy characters names, just emerging from Lucas looking up various synonyms for "bad", "attack", and "angry", in a thesaurus.

​@@jimreily7538the fact that Vader is quite close to the German word for father, vater, also helps.

@@maxheilman5314 Yes, exactly. It also makes sense to me why he'd be able to escape - because everyone underestimated him. And why he just hung around on Dagobah feeling sad! It would reinforce the theme that the Jedi had become arrogant and change was needed. The idea of him even having a lightsaber was odd to me, let alone fighting Palpatine! So silly. So much of how I understood the characters to be from the OT (especially Vader, Yoda, the emperor) were completely changed in the PT.

This is genius and fits way more in line with how yoda is presented in the originals.

This is a great idea. It really is strange to watch the OT and then go back and watch these and Yoda is like, a politician?

@@phnargg Exactly. I didn’t even like him fighting Dooku and Sidious like he was King Jedi or something. Didn’t fit his character at all. They could have made Mace Windu that role and had Palps defeat him in the epic battle in the senate, with Yoda looking on perhaps. But then there’s lots I’d have changed about the prequels!

That's so sad lmao. It's comforting to watch a man grossly interpret and misunderstand the Prequels through such an extreme level of bias, as well as make jokes about prostitutes to keep your attention (as it's such a poor attention span), so it fulfils your anger and crying to make you feel better about yourself for not liking something you didn't go into an open mind watching for the first time? You expected something from the Prequels, you didn't get it, so you and Mr. Plinkett winge about it. It's as simple as that. You should judge a film by how well the director achieves their vision, not by how well it fulfilled your expectations. Comforting? Sure. There is a level of nostalgia for it. But to act like these reviews are a work of art, is just absurd.

Yet somehow, the prequels, and Plinkett’s reviews, are STILL somehow better than the sequels!

Agent Washington HE JUST SAID THAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!

That's actually not a bad idea. Portraying Anakin as an awkward but earnest, idealistic, and well-meaning young man who wants to be poetic to impress this older girl he likes would make him a lot more engaging. He could give his little "I hate sand" soliloquy, Padme would giggle at it (not in a mean way), he'd get flustered at how inept he is at romantic talk, and she'd reassure him that she still likes him (because she can tell the emotion behind what he's saying is genuine). I can think of numerous similar occasions when I was younger and I tried to impress my GF by saying something slick, only for it fall flat. Real life isn't like a Shakespeare play. People make mistakes and fumble their words. Inserting some nervousness and vulnerability into character interactions goes a long way towards making those characters more relatable.

Yes it is actually.

Which is why his son Luke was the last hope of the Jedi and why his sister being another Skywalker was so important right? This seem to be Last Jedi logic. Luke and Leia were the last hopes of the galaxy because the Force was so strong in their family... because Vader was just some guy in a suit? k.

reviewreviewer1 well, originally the line was “there is another” which got changed in the SE to “there is another Skywalker”. When the OT was created it was just a story of Anakin’s son bringing him back to the light through love. The prequels ruined that.

@Dr Fopolopus This review has many flaws, and for the most part he brings up many non arguments, like the prequels were bad, George is stealing our money. He nitpicks many scenes and in some places he is just wrong. These reviews are just comedy, let's get that straight, and the same thing could be done with almost any other movie. I can imagine a similar comedy review that rips into Return of the jedi that focuses on Ewoks, Leia being Lukes sister, empire building a new death star, death star defences being worse than the last time, Luke's duel at the end not mattering that much, the weird plan to save Han, Boba Fett's death just to name a few. I'm looking forward to when Anomaly Inc rips these reviews a new asshole. Mike is just a tool who made these reviews because the movies went against his vision for Star Wars. He explained what was wrong with these movies and what the movies should have been (in very vague terms because he doesn't have the mind to come up with a good story himself). Then A force awakens comes out and if he wanted to he could have created a review that is just as critical as these ones, but he didn't because it didn't fit his narrative. The new movies fell in line completely to what he wanted in a movie based on these reviews and if he made a critical review he would seem hypocritical, but there is no way that he likes the sequels. People usually try very hard to be consistent in their reasoning, even if they discover that they were wrong.

Thanks to these reviews Dexter Jettster and Klagnom Moogufu are the only prequel characters I remember.

aperturesciencegames ,,m

Exactly. That's really well said and an excellent point. A better comparison should have been Rome. The Roman Republic, emerged from a series of monarchies. The Republic lasted for 500 years. Throughout its history, it was attacked, and the capital, Rome, was even sacked, burned and assaulted by outside forces. It was ravaged time and again. Political and social strife plagued the Republic for years. Yet the Republic remained resilient. Because they had enacted political positions, and a system which had numerous checks on power. Conspiracies and insurrections were common throughout its history. But, it became an Empire, in large part because of the political machinations of a single man, Julius Caesar. The Old Republic of Star Wars should have been depicted in a similar light. The problem is, that the Republic was depicted as peaceful. That's fine, but to become peaceful, they would have had to conquer other planets, and indeed systems. It should have been built on conquest, and perennially expanding. I understand that Jedi are peaceful, but they shouldn't have been the rulers. Obi Wan described them as the protectors. Lucas himself called them "warrior-monks who keep peace in the universe". He said the Jedi avoid the use of violence except as a last resort, with a mission to "use their power to keep the governments of all the planets in line, so that they don't do terrible things". The Jedi have the "moral authority to do that" since they are "the most moral of anybody in the galaxy". But how did they take over planets like the Hutt planet, full of gangsters ? Or planets which were fundamentally violent ? Through force. The Old Republic could have had a mission to spread peace through the galaxy. To acquire that authority, and the power to rule a galaxy, they should have started out, both negotiating with other systems, but in some cases, fighting them. The Jedi believe in peaceful order. But where systems or planets are in disorder, or where they disobeyed the Republic, or refused to join, then the Republic must have taken them by conflict. You could explain it, by saying the early Republic was still finding its feet, not entirely peaceful. Maybe they started out conquering other planets and systems, and in the early Jedi days, they used their powers to help that consolidation. It had to happen somehow. As the Jedi became moral guardians of the Republic, the Republic itself expanded. They took control of the galaxy, then, as the Jedi became more numerous and powerful, and tended toward peace, they used the Jedi to maintain that peace. They would, of course, have needed a standing army as well. So: - Early Republic conquers the Galaxy - Jedi and the Republic maintain peace for thousands of years - Their military becomes decrepit and unused, since they are so used to peace. They only need a comparatively small numbers of spacecraft, which would form the basis of the Rebel Alliance fleet. - Economic and social turmoil arise in the outer systems, and the turmoil spreads. Maybe the Republic lose some systems, whole systems, and so the people become disenfranchised. Other planets and systems see the Reoublic as weak, and begin trying to rise against it. They want autonomy, power or the spoils of war. - Intragalactic battles (which would be commonplace anyway) emerge and contribute to the turmoil. - The people see the Jedi Council or the Senate as unresponsive, out of touch, unable to quell the violence in the systems. - The average merchant, and even the big money making merchant ships are annoyed because the wars and conflicts are disrupting their finance, and their trade routes. - Pirates and smugglers become commonplace too, or more common. - The average Republic citizen who wants to travel to Planet Holiday for a few months rest, can't do so, because of the turmoil. Where's the Republic police, they ask ? - Turmoil in the Senate causes certain systems to leave the Republic, or to try to leave. - the average citizen of Coruscant is getting more and more annoyed with the state of affairs in the Galaxy. "If the Jedi and the Republic can't stop these conflicts, who can ? It's dangerous out there ! I can't even fly from Coruscant to Coruscant Moon 1, without being worried a pirate will attack me ! - Palpatine, like Caesar, should have been a military leader, whose job it was to quell unrest in various parts of the galaxy. - Palpatine has, like Caesar, large numbers of Republic troops who are loyal to him, and they become the basis of the Imperial Officer Corps later on. - Palpatine demands the Republic build more spacecraft to quell the unrest. - In the mean time, economic and social turmoil continue in the Republic. - Palpatine, tapping into the dark side of the force, and also using his military might, quells much of the unrest. - Palpatine wins a big battle - The people are overjoyed. Palpatines devoted troops are overjoyed, and more loyal to him. Palpatine is recognised as a hero by the Senate, and the Jedi don't suspect anything. - The Jedi might even team up with Palpatine, to stop the turmoil and uprisings, and gangsters and so on, because they're not just monks but warriors too. They want peace and they know, sometimes, violence is necessary. You can't always be a pacifist if you want to rule a galaxy. - Palpatine sees his chance to take power. He sees that he has political power already, military power, and that the Senate is in disarray. - Palpatine starts a war with the Republic. - Now, we have civil war. This could be the Clone Wars. (Or, any of the preceding conflicts could be the Clone Wars, it's not important, it's only a throwaway line in the OT.) - Palpatine dominates the civil war and the Old Reoublic is overthrown, and he enacts the Empire. -- That, in my view, is a far better story than the prequels gave us. It took me about 30 minutes to think that up. As for Vader/Anakin ? I don't know. Maybe Anakin was one of the Jedi who was sent by the Republic to help Palpatine quell the turmoil before the civil war. Maybe Palpatine shows him how awesome the dark side is, and how you can use hate and fear and jealousy, and still be powerful, you don't need to be this peaceful disciplined Buddhist type - AND you can be more powerful, more quickly. So Anakin gets addicted, or seduced, by the dark side. He can't let it go, and when Palpatine declares war on the Republic, Anakin sides with Palpatine. -- So that's it. That's how you could write the prequels, in a way that makes much more sense, and is actually, in my opinion, far more compelling than the unimaginative tripe we got.

​@@jimreily7538 >Took me about 30 minutes to think up That's because you're not a socially isolated Marin County plutocrat, and you think about history in terms of material circumstances. The biggest tragedy of the Star Wars prequels is that George assumed politics universally worked according to early 2000s American party politics. He forgot about the Vietcong and assumed the DNC was as far Left as you could go. So Palpatine becomes an expy for Bush The Lesser, without commenting on the circumstance that allowed him to come to power. Could've been an impactful comment on how liberalism isn't equipped to oppose fascism but no, it's all the fault of a few bad apples.

I mean are own democracy is pretty retarded. We elected a game show host in pretty recent memory.

@@jimreily7538 "So that's it.

At the time he seemed really keen on tying things to George Bush and the war at the time. I think the whole "This is how democracy dies" line has something to do with something like the Patriot Act passing.

That's what I thought.

There's actually a brief conversation between Yoda, Mace Windu and Obi Wan about how 'balance' might mean a shift to the darkness, considering the Jedi order has been in power for such a long time.

whateverisme The Chosen One crap is still dumb regardless.

I didn't say it wasn't.

right?

Does this replace Admiral Holdo?

It’s 2020 and I’ve never been more excited for a movie

He's already a more interesting character then Snoke.

I'm worried now

Except he literally contradicts his own subjective problems with the Prequels. Saying Vader isnt a killer when we literally see him choke and kill his subordinate through a communication device.🤣 Saying that Anakin had no development is such a laughably bad point and shows the outdated opinions of the Prequels. The Prequels are goated masterpieces.

41:57 to 42:42 The recent interview between Nancy Pelosi and CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, in a nutshell.

It's not accurate, but quite funny yeah

Red Dead redemption 2 may be one of the greatest prequels I've ever played/watched in my life.

Never thought of it this way. Could have just showed the story from Obi Wan’s perspective.

John fits perfectly into RDR 2. He's not quite the man we know him to be from RDR 1, but we can see how he will eventually become that man. He plays an important role, but it is ultimately still Arthur's story. Even at the end when you play as John Arthur's story constantly looms over everything and affects how he we appreciate John and Arthur retroactively. TL;DR I liked Red Dead 2's story.

@@Ari-ww3fv "Could have just showed the story from Obi Wan’s perspective." Well did a lot of that

Wait what, RDR2 is a prequel?

I can’t appreciate a review that consists entirely of bullshit arguments and started a hate crusade against George Lucas, which led us here with Disney fucking the franchise up the ass

@@zachplaysallday-zpad5731 lol wut? The prequels were largely shat upon for the better part of a decade before any Plinkett reviews came out. Virtually everybody in the sold out theater that I attended walked out of TPM shellshocked... "was that movie really as bad as I thought it was?" was the general vibe. And while I don't agree with every argument Plinkett ever drops, the prequels are dull and filled with otherwise good actors looking bored while reading horribly written dialog. Lucas is a great idea man, but he's at best mediocre as a director and writer. I give him all the credit in the world for catching lightning in a bottle back in 1977... but in hindsight he really, really needed to approach the prequels the same way he did ESB and RotJ... come up with some story outlines then outsource the detail work to others. As far as the whole Disney thing... Lucas was almost 70 years old when he sold out. He wasn't going to helm another 6-7 years of a sequel franchise... and even if he didn't sell out, he was the one who put Kennedy in charge prior to the sale. At the time, I was excited about the sale just based on the job Disney had been doing with Marvel at that point. Of course, TFA was a bit meh and the next two were even worse... But I don't think anybody could have predicted how badly Disney would whiz this one down their leg.

@@control_the_pet_population maybe they would’ve found the real answer to that question (no) if these fuckers didn’t mind control them

Well, they may have some flaws, fair enough. but some points which are being stated could be easily argued against. the biggest flaw in my view is that many simply weren't actually given in the movies that would have lowered the 'be-shit-on-meter'. In general I still liked the prequels quite a lot and I didn't think the entirety of the plots were dumb or other. And I do not consider myself as a simpleton.

They are flawed films but I don’t think they’re bad at all and it really seems like people nitpick more than have actual genuine issues with the films, besides the blanks that the clone wars eventually had to fill which is exactly why that series got made in the first place. Either way though these reviews are gold regardless and I especially loved the phantom menace one because it was banger after banger

+Charles1992 I used to think he was bad until I watched the behind the scenes videos where he was just stuck in a green room and given lousy direction, and I said "oh..." Now I have a lot of respect for him.

Leonardo? If that's true, that would have been amazingly awful.

I think Hayden was an apt choice. He just had limited material and poor direction. He really shone at certain moments. They were few and far between, though.

@FOX-Men Fan He has the higher ground now.

The direct contrast is his character in "Life as a House," where he also plays a bratty, self-righteous teenager but wins you around to liking and sympathizing with him because the character is competently written and directed. He basically quit Hollywood partly because of the negative reaction to Anakin and it's kind of a shame because if you've seen him in literally anything else, he's pretty good.

Yea, he already said the word didn’t exist so thanks for nothing.

Revenge of the NOOOOOOOO . . . Because even Vader regrets this movie.

thats voy cooague

The way Plinkett pronounces it sounds similar to "Chī shǐ", or to "eat shit". Also accurate.

@@PhelesDragon United States of Noooo.

Then he says "it's over 9000!!!!", and we cut to close ups of everyone's stunned gasps, and jesus screams and goes super saiyan and throws a spirit bomb at satan.

I remember even as a 14 year old in the theater, that scene was so embarrassing I had what can only be described as an out of body experience.

@@LordCaedus-bl7wi Damn, no need to call people pathetic cunts for liking something you don't. If we're all star wars fans, can't we just get along and respect each other's opinions?

DaS Guardians Good point. Also, considering the size of the Republic prior to the Empire's creation, it's safe to say that very little changed across the majority of its systems. Heck, some folks far away from Coruscant probably felt nothing at all, since 90% of officials and actual rules that affect one's everyday life remained either exactly the same, or changed very slightly. This kinda destroys this feeling of desperation the original trilogy created, with the evil, grand, unshakable Empire, and people living in oppression for ages, finally rising up and making things right. What desperation? They probably didn't even finish the complete legislative transition and forgot to issue new uniforms to ALL the billions of civil servants across the Empire by the time the whole thing collapsed.

DaS Guardians I think it's more similar to the nazis, short lived but caused a lot of destruction in that time and will be remembered forever

John Gulbunny this. this is perfect in describing it

DaS Guardians I wish that wasn't true, in my heart. But I know it has to be because the Prequels are canon.

DaS Guardians The Old Republic was created 25,000BBY.

I think you mean Grand MUFF Tarkin. LOL

These films aren't obsessed with cramming in stuff from the originals at all. They are far more original than the Sequels.

@@Lunar_Pendragon Based ;)

@@Lunar_Pendragon how embarrassing

@@Lunar_Pendragon "hm it would've made narrative sense to put Moff Tarkin in the prequels." "They didn't do that cause they weren't obsessed with putting stuff from the originals in, like shoehorning Chewbacca, making C3P0 originally connected to Anakin even though they establish that those kinds of protocol droids are commonplace mass produced with the TC14 at the beginning of the film, and reusing all the iconic imagery that made the first films popular even down to Deathstar, Tattoine suns, and showing multiple people getting their hands cut off. These films were ~original~ and weren't just made to sell more Darth Vader toys." Prequel defenders are always such exceptional individuals.

I read this and I clapped

I feel very sorry for you

Mt Plinkett is canon😁

I don't think it was. I think he was probably in a healing chamber for quiet a while before they made his suit. Just because it was the next scene doesn't mean that no time has passed.

I dunno man, whole thing seemed pretty continuous. He was still burning in agony on the table while they were putting it on him. Certainly didn't look like he'd done any healing. But that seems like the kinda suit that would take a long time to make. Also it would've been kinda cool to see Vader in a "before vader" different suit. But I suppose everyone wanted the Vader shot. Such a bad film either way.

I just rewatched it. The agony on the table seems to come from the needles as much as the burning. Also there is clearly a cut between that and when his suit is on. Who knows how long that was. It's not like he'd be going anywhere. Even so, I guess when you consider the technology they have, they probably just 3D printed it in no time.

I know quoting the extended universe is kind of a shitty excuse for the way the film doesn't explain it properly, but yeah, the agony definitely has something to do with the surgery - Palpatine purposefully kept Anakin awake through it to help fuel his rage and further grow his connection with the dark side. As for the suit, it was a factory production model, not something that was tailor-made. In fact, it was all from pre-existing, outdated technology (a punishment from Palpatine for Anakin being so careless on Mustafar), so it was intentionally designed to be uncomfortable and more restrictive than what they potentially *could* have given him.

Stop asking completely logical questions!

+FOX-Men Fan Guy Marvel: Kept mostly in check by a head that actually has passion for the universe and bringing these captivating stories and characters to the big screen Star Wars: let's just put some lady in charge who may or may not have any real passion for the material and exploit these legendary stories and characters for the sake of pushing an ideology and let anyone come in and just jettison any particular element that doesn't fit the cause and insult anyone who points this out

@FOX-Men Fan Guy Correction: OT fans are grateful and passionate, prequel fans are annoying and retarded

eh, solo wasn’t THAT bad. just aggressively mediocre.

I liked it.

FOX-Men Fan Guy the MCU movies are easy to like, they have great character development, interesting stories, realistic looking cgi and are fairly faithful to the source material. The new SW movies have none of these things.

Yes, and almost all of their arguments are terrible.

​@@latecore_It's you're own fault you morons. You caused Lucas to sell Star wars, You made them ruin one of my favorite characters, Boba fett.

+Franken Stein (Doctor) All my own work

He is written and directed like this. Hayden can act, when director is not an incompetent moron.

SolarDragon007 Yeah. Anakin should have been in his thirties... Obi-Wan could have been 40-50 (looking 60-70 in the OT). And as much as I like a Yoda doing crazy jumps with a lightsaber... I think it really should have been a Force showdown between him and Palp. CAUSE YODA DOESN'T NEED A SABER AND LIGHTSABERS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE JEDI WEAPONS LIKE PALPATINE STATES IN ROTJ!!!

SolarDragon007 Well, Alec Guiness was 63, but they DID age him with makeup. So he could have been well over 70...

SolarDragon007 My man 👍

SolarDragon007 I would even push it and try to "save" Jar Jar's character. Making him a kind of Chewie/Groot archetype, big tall warrior with a heart of gold. Maybe making his expulsion from Gungan City cause he loved the daughter of Boss Nass, but she would be engaged to Tarpals so they broke into a fight... And the Gungans would join the Naboo cause Jar Jar won a Sacred Battle Ritual or something like that against Tarpals or making something extraordinary (like Jake Sully in Avatar who became Turuk Maktou and became a hero for the Navii).
