The sequel ship is better than the lame one you chose there but otherwise, prequel designs.
Landon Harris
The Prequels are unironically and objectively superior to the Sequel Trilogy.
This isn't even a case of "new thing bad". I wanted the new Star Wars movies to be good, everyone did. But they're so fucking safe and bland with 0 shock or surprise to them that they utterly fail to do what a shitty capeshit movie should to, and that is to entertain.

Cringe. Obi-Wan, Palpatine, the worldbuilding, and the music were the only good things about the prequels. You can dislike the sequels and the prequels at the same time, and the sequels being bad too doesn't inexplicably mean the prequels were actually good.
Andrew Hall
The prequels were much better written, they had actual characters and story, not a bunch of memes and one-liners that lack any emotion or coherence. Luke is a cliched everyboy "hero" that goes through an absurdly rapid transformation between the fifth and the sixth episodes. Anakin's emotional instability and his exposure as a psychopath are gripping; and his doomed relationship with Padme is touching. In the "original trilogy" Han, Leia, Darth Vader and Obi Wan are complete meme characters, nothing about them is remotely believable or human. And why doesn't anyone care about deaths in those movies? Leia's planet destruction, Luke's stepparents' death, all of the blown up rebels--the list could go on--all the deaths are forgotten moments later.
As for direction, the movies from the "original trilogy" were mostly incoherent, badly edited and full of logical problems. The prequel trilogy is a work of a "vulgar auteur".
I feel neutral about the series overall, and honestly don't care about trolling or contrarianism. Here are my sincere rankings:
1. "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones"
2. "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace"
3. "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith"
4. "Star Wars"
5. "The Empire Strikes Back"
6. "Return of the Jedi"
7.
8. "The Force Awakens"
9. "The Last Jedi"
Episode 7 and 8 aren't even Star Wars movies. They are Marvel flicks masquerading as one.

>The sequel ship is better
That's just because it's an OT design with slight changes.
Tyler Lee
Daily reminder that the Prequels are kinos, there's nothing that can even be compared to their greatness.
TPM was absolutely essential to the story, it laid the groundwork for everything to come. And it managed to be a great film for kids and young adults, it was spectacular. Kids especially like the podracing and fantastically choreographed fight scenes. The politics are there out of necessity but it's a great redpill for kids about how things work.
AotC has the best love story ever told outside of theatre, it's classical chivalric love that you just don't see in film. It's a masterpiece visually, you won't find a more aesthetic romance in film. The rest of the film is a mishmash of so many good things that somehow managed to form a coherent whole. George winks with the kino that was Blade Runner at the start and by the end it's like some Edgar Rice Burroughs planetary romance. There's the detective noir plot with Obi-Wan and then there's the begin of the fall of Anakin. The only flaw with it is that George was really pushing it on the technological frontier and some of the tech almost weren't there yet. Like how it was shot all on digital, it doesn't look as great as TPM because of this.
RotS is where George truly went balls deep into classical drama and myth. At this point the technology also had caught up with his imagination and it looked even better than TPM. It's a perfect film, or would be if he didn't cut a bunch of politics due to neckbeard whining.

There are at least two years between every Episode

Wonder why they decided to set the two sequel films within a day of each other.
Jordan Gray
There are three years between ANH and ESB and six months between ESB and ROTJ. I wish it were two/three years.
Bentley Harris
PT, undoubtedly.
Michael Butler
Prequels for sure. For all their short comings they were at least original and interesting. It felt like Star Wars and the universe felt gigantic with lots going on.
The sequel trilogy is the opposite. It’s as if the universe has remained stagnant and boring since the return of the Jedi. With nothing really changing. The ships are all pretty much the same, and the characters are dull and uninspired. I also feel like the universe feels much smaller now, with the pace of the movies being so fast that it feels like they’re able to travel vast distances in very short amounts of time. They’re trash.
Dominic Cruz
There has also been like zero world building in the sequels we have no idea what the hell is going on in the galaxy outside of the first order already won.
Grayson Smith
It's not even a contest, Lucas's vision beats out soulless fan fiction any day, even if it had flaws.
Jayden Parker
Force Awakens is worse than Phantom Menace, Last Jedi is better than Attack of the Clones. It depends on the third movie which trilogy will be better in the end.
Thomas Sanchez

That's because it's an escapist fantasy, moron. The protagonist in all three trilogies is quite deliberately like that if you have even a modicum of brain cells
Christopher Powell
the ST and I don't even like the ST
the PT is the most embarrassing thing ever produced that wasn't directed by Peter Jackson

Wow, who could have seen that coming.

Prequels. It's so reddit to like the sequels more
David White
Why are 99% of the OT fans such massive faggots? Every forum I go on they’re usually the biggest fucking assholes.
Josiah Brooks
whereas liking the prequels more is completely retarded and only ever done out of obvious edgelord contrarianism, in other words they're pure Yea Forums
Christopher Cook
The prequels were dogshit, but they had Lucas pouring some visual and narrative creativity into them instead of being inferior rehashes of the OT.
The Nu-T film are just pointless, boring shit that don't even have memorable battle scenes you can re-watch.
Kevin Green
their lives have been very hard since the OT permanently infantilized them
Oliver Ramirez
This is some next level cherry picking
Andrew White

Yeah OT designs are better

Unironically the prequels, if not just for memes.
Christopher Rogers
it's how you know the one in the middle isn't a real movie, user
Michael Davis
>Contrarianing this hard.
Only a retard would have trouble following the action of the prequel battles. Either way, they're a whole lot better than the Nu-T's inferior deathstar run and inferior hoth battle.
Cameron Rodriguez
wow such an expansive and deep universe that is so rich and full of life
Jonathan Evans
prequels got dogshit cgi even for the time, demand a special edition to fix that
Kevin Taylor
I just don’t get it though. All of the characters suck besides Vader in 5 and 6, Palpatine and Lando.
Luke Adams
Yeah, I love a battle where both sides are made up of completely disposable cannon fodder and so nothing you're seeing matters at all. Yes, I will take a retread of something good over literal dogshit.
Brody Morales
>All of the characters suck
You can just stop the sentence there. Star Wars was not, is not, and has never been about characterization, or story, or anything other than selling toys.

Imagine having to reach this hard to find some reason, any reason, to disparage the prequel battle scenes. I realise your brain has probably been addled by capeshit where literally every action sequence is MC vs bad guys but even then...
I mean, like are the OT bad for introducing a bunch of disposable pilots and killing them off one by one?
Are war movies bad for having action sequences where minor or unnamed characters fight each other?
Are james bond films bad for having battle sequences where most of the shots are henchmen vs US soldiers?
If you're going to criticize the prequels, at least pic one of the hundred or so valid reasons, rather than some soiboy faggot bullshit.
I literally said that the prequels are bad, but not as bad as the Nu-T. Fuck off retard.
Adam Cook
prequels = good ideas but really badly made movies
sequel = bad or rehashed ideas but competently made movies
both are equally bad for different reasons but if I had no choice to choose one; the prequels.
Jack Howard
Rogue One and Solo is better than any of these movies combined

By you logic it's the same shit, you fool. Bet you didn't know too that Attack of the Clones had more practical effects and sets than FA but that wouldn't fit with your narrative.
Caleb Robinson
It's not surprising that the same people who attack the prequels are always unversed in real film or anything artistic, and that the people who praise the prequels (Zizek, Paglia, Brody, etc) are always literate, educated, and versed in real film.
vice.com
newyorker.com
youtube.com
The fact that everyone points to Plinkett as the authority on why the prequels are bad speaks volumes. Mike Stoklasa is one of the least artistic people on the planet - he can't process movies outside of the conventions of Hollywood films, his approach to narrative is tempered with the same surface-level requisites listed on tvtropes.
Any complaint that people have about the prequels illustrates a weak grasp on film. How many art films would they claim has 'too much sitting and talking'? They would watch the end of Breaking the Waves and whine about dated CGI. Their sensibilities for 'good dialogue' in what is intentionally pulp comes from bad pulp, ie, the original Star Wars, the only pulp they've ever seen. They would similarly view any homage-driven art film and miss the entire point.
Lucas' only mistake in the prequels was doing something daring, original, artistic and literate, not realizing that the manchildren conditioned by the original SW trilogy to loathe anything cerebral would lash out against his cinematic risks.
John Howard
Originals and Expanded Universe (thrawn trilogy, kotor, D6 RPG, etc).
Fuck outta here with that zoomie bullshit.
