Antoine Bandele yeah we do, go watch the 5 hour long Hobbit BTS, it’s more inside the making of a set of movies than you could have ever dreamed of!

Antoine Bandele good point. Everything is so whitewashed. Its gross

The Disney BTS is so shiny, everyone got along perfectly, nothing went wrong. So bland and dishonest.

I bet you like “The Mandalorian” then. They do BTS for basically everything

I'm 6 years later but i mean... George was one of a kind, he hated Pedowood and their bs, and he did things his own way. They hated him, and still do hate him for it lol. He got so big they couldn't shut him down.

I like star war but these star wars fans are stupid for doing that. It's a movie everybody should grow up and enjoy it

You’re absolutely right. Not only does my heart go out to Ahmed, the actor, but to Jar Jar too, to be honest. Despite his careless nature, he just wanted be accepted.

I’ve never hated on Jar Jar. Granted, he’s not as funny as I remember him being growing up, but I’m certainly not going out of my way to throw shade at the actor for doing his job.

And there's no reason to take it beyond reasonable objections which are perfectly valid. But people always have to take things way to far..the old expression "get a life" comes to mind. I thought that George fell in love too much with the effects that made Jar-Jar possible and lost sight of the bigger picture was the story. The story of where Darth Vader comes from had virtually unlimited potential but somehow no one was able to communicate that to Lucas in a way that got through. That's now I feel personally, I didn't hate the film, I just thought it could have and should have been much better.

Can’t be worst than Rose Tico.

He kinda is though

***** Also the voice of destruction...when he voted emergency power to the supreme chancellor, who in turn used that power to create a galactic empire... Jar Jar just ruins everything.

Duh! That's why George said that! He was written to fuck shit up, some one had to do it!!!!!! Prequels have to lead to the sequels, and the original trilogy starts with things fucked up.

He is a sith lord

He meant the success of the CGI

Mikestir 😂😂😂

Lol good catch

😂🤣

George is a brilliant comedic writer in very dark ways

I think the comics from the fifties and sixties would appreciate and love some of his senses of humor

Now he's getting high and running from the cops in his adulthood. Sad.

+Charles McConnell I agree people say "oh he's just a kid" or "all child actors are the same and he was unfairly ridiculed" No.. lol people need to realize he was just very very bad, he was bad in his other lead he was bad in this.

Fair enough. Let's blame Lucas. He did do the casting. Seriously, George. Throw a few million at Jake Lloyd. Not an insult, but the kid has earned it.

Yeah but you guys always forget about all the dumb shit George does, like the special edition stuff, he even changed the damm Solo and Greedo scene again and opted for Disney to add the “maclunkly” line

sometimes you shouldnt let a director/creator run away with his ideas. the original star wars was saved by video editing. george lucas original story needed alot of work in getting rid of extra ideas and parts george lucas had.

It's just a flat out great film! No reason not to like it..

fundhund62 the movie isn’t bad and some scenes were really good but it was a bit boring, episode 2 and 3 are far better

Steve Robertson that’s why I said some scenes were good, I just found some of the overall movie not so interesting, because the tattoine scenes despite being important were a bit boring and the Naboo scenes a bit, some of the acting was also emotionless but it isn’t a bad movie by any means

I am with you. I thought Jake did a great job of expressing what a child is, and Jar Jar was a pretty funny parody of Star War aliens. All these haters expect characters to conform to their own expectations, and judge them for not conforming, but characters -- both in real life and in movies -- are more diverse than anyone can expect. Let's enjoy all that diversity.

+JUNIORK1974 That's a brilliant comparison.

D. Luffy look for Mr.Plinkett reviews of Star Wars.

Henriko Magnifico absolutely true! I watched each prequel at a midnight showing with all my friends and we all loved them. I think it’s the people who were our ages in the 70s that were disappointed. But George Lucas made these films for us, the new generation.

I grew up with the OT, and love the prequels just as much (if not more).

I 100% agree. I'm the same age as The Phantom Menace. I was born in 1999. Everyone hated the prequels, but I grew up with them. I actually watched the movies the true way they were intended. I became a Star Wars fan in 2005 when I was 5 years old- I saw the Phantom Menace first, then Attack of The Clones. Then I saw Revenge of The Sith and fell in love with Darth Vader. My parents had the original trilogy on VHS, so I watched those movies after Revenge Of The Sith. And I just loved the WHOLE saga. Admittedly when I was a kid, I didn't care much for The Phantom Menace or Attack of The Clones, but I think I was just a little too young to get it. Revenge of The Sith is my all-time favorite movie though and it really made me the Star Wars fan I am today. Looking back on the prequels, they really make me feel nostalgic again and now that I'm 20 and understand the entire saga, those beginning movies are the most important. I LOVE the original trilogy and I LOVE Darth Vader because he's my fav. His death literally makes me cry. But the prequels I relate to more and always will. Plus WHO doesn't want to see how Darth Vader was born!?

No, it's that completely uncritical people who just like whatever happens to be in front of them love these movies. "I watched these as a kid, and they have lots of colors, so they're good." That's your thinking.

That's because when you are a kid you will literally LIKE ANYTHING. Kids will always like bad movies b/c they haven't developed an educated opinion yet.

BUT JAR JAR

That's one thing he doesn't get enough credit for with the prequels. He absolutely pushed the industry forward a couple decades. Things he was doing in '99 are now commonplace, but he was the first to do it as well and with that much frequency.

​@@logicaldude3611 I don't understand the hypocrisy of people that complain about prequel CGI yet they watch every marvel movie in awe like a good soyjack.

I don’t like jar jar. It’s course rough and it gets everywhere.

I read an article that said Episode I’s expectations were so high that not even great movie could live up to them.

they looked concerned at some of lucas's choices though

You mean more than half of all marriage ever?

“It’s like poetry. It rhymes.” There’s a lot of great quotes in this documentary. Just shows how much the fans loved these films that we memorize the quotes from a documentary.

No. whats sad is they worked real hard to make a shitty movie set to blue screen for 90% of the film that wastes their talented acting and production skills entirely.

@@Krystalmyth The Phantom Menace was filmed in as many real world locations as the entire original trilogy. They also built and filmed more miniatures/models for this movie than the entire original trilogy combined. They also built huge sets, as seen in this documentary

***** Just because a movie makes a ton of money, doesn't make it a great movie.

***** While there are some people who genuinely like it, even to this day, I think the reason it made so much was because of the super excited fans of the time. I've seen other documentaries that show thousands of fans, all lined up to see this movie. The original trilogy was milked dry, it was time to move on. They camped out, waited, and were hyped as hell when it was released at midnight, proof being once the opening starts, they already lost their minds. I think the hype blinded them to the problems at the time. They didn't care, they were excited for another Star Wars movie. But over time, after the hype died, they realized the flaws.

***** That's hard to say. Just because people went to see it doesn't mean that every one of those people liked it. They had to see it first, pay for the ticket and then were able to make up their minds. Quite a lot of those people didn't believe how bad it was and went two or three times, because they thought that maybe they missed something or the movie had to grow on them. As one heavy critic says, it was probably the greatest blueballing in cinematic history. How much money it made doesn't mean a thing, much less that a lot of people liked it.

***** After losing much of his money in a divorce settlement in 1987, George Lucas had no desire to return to Star Wars and had canceled his sequel trilogy by the time Return of the Jedi was released. But in the early 1990s, Star Wars saw an increase in popularity thanks to comic books and novels, so thanks to them George went ahead and produced the prequels. If Star Wars had declined in popularity, the prequels wouldn't have been produced. After this movie was criticized by people for the writing, characterization and acting, George was hesitant to write and direct the sequels. He hoped that someone else was willing to help him but people declined.

Hectorferjr2 Okay? I really didn't say how/why George made the prequels, but honestly what you just said shows that Lucas only did it for the money, and didn't care about the franchise/stories he created. I mean I know that's what movies are about, telling stories and making money off of them, but when you only care about the money and not the story, that's when your heart isn't in the projects. I'm curious, why did people decline to help him? Because of poor reception of The Phantom Menace, or maybe they didn't want to work with him? I heard that George and an editor had conflicting ideas and wouldn't do it Georges' way, so he fired him.

I appreciate your comment I wish more people would keep it real like you did instead of blindly hating the films for not being the originals

I was disappointed too but If you look at The Phantom Menace as a prologue to the saga it really is the most interesting of the saga. I think George has even explained that episode 1 was more of a prologue in an interview too. There’s so much world building and threads introduced to set up for the main plot of the next 2.

He kinda deserved them

That was the wisest decision in the prequels, clear dialogue written by George, that's why he's one of the "less worst" characters.

I'm grateful he didn't talk much. Makes his character much more menacing. Got it? Menacing. 😉

Is George's fault for choosing the worst kid in the casting.

@@Quasarbanda dawg, Jake was absolutely not the worst out of the three. The first kid could barely say his lines. Besides, George is not at fault for the irrational hate Jake received. He was a child, and in no way deserved what he got. There’s thoughtful criticism, and then there’s hate, he got the latter. The ones at fault are the ones who did it, not George.

"postmortem" doesn't mean that the project died, indeed most such analyses are concerned with successfully completed projects.
