@DK_Dharmaraj Reminder that the kikes in the mainstream press lambasted this movie for years and laid every single insult they could on lucas' head till he finally broke down and gave up the fight against hollywood. And this, this is the fucking dogshit they managed to come up with and everyone has to pretend its good. The prequels are based and good and if you dont think that its because youre a retard. youtu.be/iRmRGP9hzy8
@ChristiJunior@DK_Dharmaraj >lucas has podracers sound like V8 muscle cars and airplanes >disney just puts fat people on screen to speak gibberish I dont ever wanna hear shit about the "dialogue" in the prequels again. >but muh 50s diner FUCK YOU IT WAS A FUN DETECTIVE MOVIE.
@Boomerman@DK_Dharmaraj Like holy shit, the (((critics))) and (((influencers))) jerked themselves off so much about the Sequel Trilogy having muh practical effects and superior acting in contrast to the Prequels' green screen effects (which still looked great btw, especially for their time, this was many years before Avatar) and wooden acting (that part is true, but the Sequels still had such shit characters and characterization that the acting couldn't salvage shit).
@ChristiJunior@DK_Dharmaraj The prequels were also made with the idea theyd be viewed on a rough surface screen and not 4k HD flat screens. George wasnt and idiot the theatre screen masks the plastic look people bitch so much about. They haven't seen it in a cinema in 20 years they only know HD shit you can pick apart. The movies looked incredible in their proper format and the sound design was incredible. I damn near shit myself in the theatre when the ship blows up acter open it was like ear splittingly loud.
@Boomerman@DK_Dharmaraj One of the reasons I rewatched those movies so many times as a kid was that every time, I kept noticing new details (this was of course way before you could just look up individual clips on JewTube). And they definitely BEGGED to be watched on the big screen.
Even as a kid I thought Maul was the shittiest most generic edge-lord villain. The dialog was indeed crappy, green screening was indeed overused and these combined factors did impact actor performances. I won't even go into that nigger JarJar, Top Gun baby Anakin, Super Yoda or any of the other shit that pisses people off. At least it had a coherent overarching story that knew where it was going though (more than I can say for Kathleen Kennedy's garbage).... and the fight scenes were better than sequels by a country mile (and probably better than the OG in some ways).
@circuSphere@Boomerman@DK_Dharmaraj It's a :pieville3: opinion, but at least you recognize that the sequels are worse. People can and do disagree about art/stories, but we should all recognize that even severely flawed or even bad story are better than hateful propaganda.
@ChristiJunior@circuSphere@DK_Dharmaraj Id say we have objects measures and by those measures the prequels are stunning. How many movies have the level of music production that just one of the prequels had?
@Boomerman@ChristiJunior@DK_Dharmaraj@circuSphere Remember any music from the sequel trilogy that wasn't blatantly recycled OT nostalgiabait? I don't. Prequel soundtracks stood on their own even having to follow the OT, and arguably even surpassed them.
@Boomerman@DK_Dharmaraj They are legit masterpieces compared to Disney Star Wars. The fact that Disney scrapped the Extended Universe, 30 years of lore and canon, to make feminism in space is bewildering.
Kathleen Kennedy must have actual footage of Spielberg raping and murdering babies to still have e a job.
The Thrawn Trilogy has a very pregnant Leia Organa going to different worlds, spying on a world Thrawn has under his control, for.. some reason. Despite the danger to her unborn child.
@ChristiJunior@verita84@Boomerman@DK_Dharmaraj Revenge of the Sith is GOATed. The memetic power of that film alone is insane. Also it has the most lightsaber fights of any of the movies, therefore it's the best.
@ChristiJunior@verita84@Boomerman@DK_Dharmaraj Episode 1 could have been a masterpiece if only Lucas had just limited Anakin’s dialogue to the absolute bare minimum. In fact, single-word sentences would have more than sufficed for him in that film. The expression ‘children should be seen, not heard’ become key in this case, as a mostly-silent child Vader would have only intensified the character’s mystique and on-screen presence.
@verita84@ChristiJunior@Boomerman@DK_Dharmaraj Everything else about Episode 1 was fantastic and lived up to the original trilogy in every regard. I never understood why Episode 1 got the hate that it did. It was brilliant, aside from the kid having too many lines.
@Cleisthenes@ArdainianRight@Boomerman@DK_Dharmaraj@verita84 I remember many years ago, there was a guy on IMDB with extensive sword experience who did these super in-depth analysis of the climactic Episode 1 and Episode 3 lightsaber battles. The main takeaway from those threads was that, aside from some unnecessarily fancy moves and twirls, the fight choreography was actually genuinely well-thought out and believable for characters with Jedi/Sith powers.
@Floydian_Psychology@ChristiJunior@verita84@DK_Dharmaraj What has been put out since that was better other than LOTR? Harry potter? Transformers? Marvel? The prequels are the most lied about films ever. Theyre great and works of art. Sure they have issues but theyre leagues better than fucking endgame or the fucking sequels.
@Boomerman@DK_Dharmaraj@Floydian_Psychology@verita84 They're actual movies telling an actual story that Lucas was passionate about, not shitlib anti-White propaganda (except for some silly anti-Bush lines that he inserted in Episode III against his better judgement - and Bush was a faggot traitor anyway).
@ChristiJunior@verita84@Boomerman@DK_Dharmaraj finally , someone else gets it, people hate phantom menace because of jar jar binks, its like yeah it needs something for the kids, idk, i thought phantom menace was good, attack of the clones too and rots, and it feels vindicating knowing that they're way better than anything disney has put out star wars related
@verita84@ChristiJunior@Boomerman@DK_Dharmaraj Cultural vandalism never ends. The kikes won’t be content until the entire history of humankind is rewritten in its entirety as a single fat sheboon, twerking in front of the backdrop of a burning city.
@ChristiJunior@Boomerman@DK_Dharmaraj@verita84 And let’s not forget R2D2’s heroic origin. If he hadn’t gone out on the hull of Amidala’s ship, under heavy fire, and repaired the deflector shield so they could run that Trade Federation blockade, the entire story of Star Wars could never have gone forward.
@admin@Boomerman@DK_Dharmaraj@verita84 Stuff like Anakin being the maker of C-3PO was cringe, but at the end of the day, that's a comic relief character anyway. Rise of Skywalker literally treated his "death" as a fucking joke, is *that* any better?
@admin@verita84@Boomerman@DK_Dharmaraj Especially since Return of the Jedi largely gets a pass for its Cringe. The idea that Jar Jar on his own is worse than the Empire being defeated by literal teddy bears is asinine.
And STFU about midi-chlorians already, if they bother you that fucking much you can just disregard them, Qui-Gon was (and this is alluded to in the movie, and explicitly confirmed in the novelization) much more naturalistically oriented and focused on the present, physical world than mainstream Jedi, so him doing stuff like testing for midi-chlorians doesn't mean this is common or even accepted practice within the Jedi order.
@Cleisthenes@Boomerman@DK_Dharmaraj@verita84 Oh yeah, the music was another giant selling point. Hell, as much as people meme on the Anakin-Padme romance, their love theme is fucking gold:
