because instead of making something for kids to enjoy lucas made something for kids to consume.
he got lost is all.

Digitalization.

Lucas wanted to do all that goofy shit in the originals too, but it would have been to expensive

>why were the star wars prequels so cartoonish?
Because George Lucas was going for a certain feel, a tone from the 1950's adventure movies, with nothing tongue-in-cheek, no ironic distance, no quips. He even says himself the dialogue isn't great, but that's what he wanted: something slightly cheesy, an adventure experience that didn't try to outsmart itself, something literal and not self-aware.

That's why kids took to it better than adults. For my part, rewatching the old SW movies, my reaction was, "Thank God I watched them as a child, because if I had discovered them as an adult, I wouldn't have liked them much."

No idea but "don't let him kill me" is legit horrifying still youtu.be/q0r4jNhG9Z4

most people i know who saw it as kids thought it was annoying/boring and absolutely hated the whiny homo lucas tried to pass off as young darth vader.
the only people i see defending these movies are grown men who were 20 when it came out and dont want to accept that their consumer choice was the absolute epitome of cringe.

i watched them as an adult (21) and liked them, mostly because i like the classic film feel

>most people i know who saw it as kids thought it was annoying/boring
Really? What kind of child see the prequels and thinks it's boring? I disliked them when they came out, but I wasn't a kid, and I have never met a child who disliked them.

It’s the sterile look of the blu-ray version which makes everything cartoonish
