now ILM have the high ground!

He predicted his future involvement in Star Wars after he sold out to Disney.

man, he didn't even write this dialogue and it becomes a meme, is this really just how George talks? He always talks and writes in memes, he's meme god

Yes I agree 🥰❤️

Jordan bickett is that what you think didactic means?

Really thought saying "didactic" would make you look smarter lol

+Zoomer30 Then why wasn't it in the news?

**rein

and that's the problem

There is some great work done on those movies but come on man, most of the CGI creatures in Attack of the clones look like their made of plastic particularly Dexter from the dinner scene. They also made a mistake of not making a clone trooper costume because every time one of the clones takes their helmet off it looks like their heads aren't connected correctly and are quite floaty.

@@CraigBickerstaff I highly disagree with you I think Dexter and all the creatures look 100% real I should say all the characters that is CGI. The prequel trilogy still looks 100% real to me probably just most of it is real real sets real miniatures etc. Watch some of the documentaries on the DVDs in particular. And the Blu-rays breathing really making a book everything is spelled out for you right there

@@darthqui-gon5986 Look, don't fucking talk down your nose at me like that. I was learning CG around the time that Episode III was in production and I've always been the sort of person who devours the BHS material and I do this for all the films that let me not just the prequel trilogy. I've seen the work that they were doing at Weta on the Lord of the Rings, and compared to the work that ILM has done since the prequels the stuff done on Episode II is showing it's age. I didn't shit on the work, It's good for its time but even at it's time the character work wasn't up to scratch with the stuff Weta was doing on Golem. You look at all the character stuff in 2002 movies and they all have the same plastic look that you see from the characters in Episode II. That doesn't take away from the miniatures work that they did on that movie it's just showing its age and I think it's disingenuous of you to oversell it like this.

@@CraigBickerstaff wasn't trying to talk down to you. It's so easy to take things as the wrong message when you're writing a text. Simply put in my opinion I think the prequels look 100% photo-realistic and a hell of a lot better the most movies have been made in the past 15 years and I did not like the effects in The Lord of the Rings I didn't even like the movies but I love the books

And I think all three of the films aging nicely have you ever seen them on Blu-ray 4K they even look more realistic than they already do

Yep, and he used them to tell a great story in all his films.

Bullshit.

@@user-xx6vy9ri8p exactly its all bullshit.

@@user-xx6vy9ri8p Its not bullshit. Its obvious.

He should've gotten some feedback from at least his friends. Maybe ask Spielberg.

The irony is that he actually had plenty of limitations just from having the original trilogy there to dictate certain aspects of the story. He chose to ignore that as well! The result is that he had to go back and make even MORE changes for the DVD release. Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru should have been much bigger characters in the prequels but based on Attack of the Clones Anakin barely even spoke to either of them. Obi Wan describes Anakin as a warm loving friend but in the prequels, he's a self-obsessed arrogant jerk. George didn't even bother to cast a Jango who can do an American accent so that it would fit with Bobba.

Odd, considering that the prequels were extremely creative.

@@CraigBickerstaff Why would Boba need to have the same accent as Jango? Lol

@@CraigBickerstaff Should have been? They don't own you anything. If Anakin knew them well, he would find Luke. And yes, Obi-Wan and Anakin were close friends, rewatch episode 3.

This is why they started showing previz/videomatics to the actors on set during Episode II. They also made sure that the eye lines are all correct. Sometimes a table tennis ball on a stick or c-stand is enough to achieve that.

Even today I don't consider 95% of effects-heavy movies "photorealistic". Most stuff tries to be realistic but at the same time it's so bold, therefore Hyperrealism would be the better term to describe it.

Star Wars has always been about pushing the envelope with special effects and good story telling. It has never been about acting. The prequels actually have a better story than the originals.

@@brucewayne1662 Never been about the acting? Irvin Kershner and Richard Marquand were hired specifically because George thought they'd be better at working with the actors.

@@CraigBickerstaff Acting? Ian McDermid, Ewan McGregor, Christopher Lee, Liam Neeson were terrible? Lol...

@@CraigBickerstaff Did you not see Ian McDiarmid and Ewan McGregor in the prequels? Their acting was far better than people like Han or Leia in the originals.

LOL Dumb internet cliches

+Qweg Qweg To be fair, these films did advance what could be done with CGI at the time. They were responsible for a lot of technical VFX breakthroughs, it's just unfortunate that the look of the films kind of suffered as a result.

Episode I had a puppet Yoda in the theatrical release. It was later replaced with CGI for the digital/home releases. Without the PT, there wouldn't be the effects in you see in Endgame etc today. The ST is full of CGI

@@Ruylopez778 He wasn't CGI in the home releases up until the 2011 blu-rays, in the VHS/DVD releases he was still a puppet.

@@TechnologicallyTechnical Didn't say he was. I didn't mention anything about DVD or VHS

@@Ruylopez778 You said digital/home releases... That's exactly what DVD/VHS are.

In terms of film technology it was most certainly revolutionary, but like many visionaries later directors took what George had started and refined/regulated it to reach maximum potential. George did the heavy lifting proving the technology existed and bringing into the world, but with time other directors have recognized the flaws of that technology and found ways to maximize the benefits of CGI without having it become a detriment.

Sam, you obviously have not watched much of the documentary footage. I've seen plenty of voice actors on prequel sets. Lucas "bothered" to do that. How many of these webisodes have you watched? Everything you complained about has been contradicted repeatedly by what I've seen in these documentaries especially the CGI. They spent millions on sets and models that were NOT cgi.

The prequels are the best Star Wars movies 😍😍

PT movies cinemascore A- Solo cinemascore A- TROS cinemascore B+ EDIT FOR ILL INFORMED: Cinemascore involves polling the audience as they leave the theatre, and is used by the industry to get a general consensus on the popularity of the movie during theatrical release. It is not a review, and not altered after opening weekend.

i think the story development is the thing to focus on there. the fx are ok to good, and there are great cinematic moments, think about yodas battle or the chase of that assasin and how obi wan cant control anakin and the arena battle. of course the fx are dated. its almost 20 years ago

Carlos lol you’re such a whiny baby. Why do you say the same shit on every comment? Useless loser.

@@1080lights the original comment is pretty useless. Episode 2 is not even close to the worst episode thanks to the three assembly line horse shit movies that Disney spat out. It introduced world building which left a legacy whose cultural impact was greater than most movies have ever had. Kindly, fuck yourself.

@Crusty783 You're not aware what Cinemascore is then; it's polling the audience AFTER they come out of the theatre. It's like asking you for your opinion. That's why I cited it. So your comment is LITERALLY irrelevant.
