ITT: We list good things about the prequels. I'll start with the obvious ones

Nice visuals although the story felt rushed. Really needed two trilogies to tell the complete story of Anakin pre-Vader. The prequels we saw should've started with Anakin as a teen. Anakin as a little kid could've filled a trilogy or even a cartoon. That way George could still cash in on toy sales while also being able to tell a darker more adult oriented tale about all the politics and dark side seduction. All the reasons for major plot points felt like George had to make a last minute decision on them and they turned out stupid. Like Smi having immaculate conception, Anakins seduction to the dark side. Those were completely retarded. He packed too much shit into 3 movies and a cartoon that it left too many loose ends and plot holes.

I bought one power of the force figure I saw, GM Tarkin. I thought it might be valuable one day because he was never made a figure in the 70's/80's. WRONG! He's still only worth about $8. 20 years later. 20 years after ROTJ, some rare Kenner figures were already worth $350- $500.

They actually gave everyone involved great character development. Objectively, as films, they’re terrible. Bad acting, shit cgi, cringy scenes. But the story is stupendous.

Before them Vader was just the Ben’s evil jedi apprentice who felt kind of bad for being evil. The prequels gave him a legitimate and understandable reason for why he fell, introduced us to a lot of characters like Dooku, Maul and Grievous who are incredible in their own ensuing series and honestly made Vader a lot more tragic and a lot more monstrous at the same time, actually paving the way for him to be an amazing character in his comic series.

The movies are shit, but the characters they craft are quality. Like eating caviar out of a backalley trashcan.

I still have some Hallmark Christmas ornaments in the packaging and the Tarkin figure. That's it. I actually had to tell people don't buy me Star Wars collectible shit on holidays because I'd give it away. I was 23 at that point and Star Wars shit was like the last thing I wanted. I had a feeling there were way too many things on the market and they'd never be worth more than the original price. Looks like I was right.

Production design, from ships and general stuff, was super

I really liked how they tried to tell a chronological evolution in design based on real world history, with more retro looking spaceships in the sequel, based on the 50s streamline era, that eventually evolved into the OT, based around the 70s and more "futuristic" concepts, for that time

>tfw you will never have such beautiful flowing hair as Revenge of the Sith Anakin

the artistry was there, and a lot of the lore could have been put to purpose in a better story. a star wars movie actually needs top tier storytelling above all else and somehow even disney forgot that.

Did somebody already say Ewan McGregor? Ewan McGregor.

How ambitious it was. Lucas may have made a bunch of dumb decisions, but I can't help but respect how many huge risks he took while making these movies.

Also Ben Kenobi (and possibly Vader) are old cripples that barely have a vague memory of their list combat art, and who had no one to train with for decades. In the prequels, they are masters of space martial arts in their prime, at the height of the practice of that martial art.

>Why are the sequels so mysterious with revealing shit? Everyone gets hugs intrductions where the prequels just tell a great story and throw characters in without being mysterious or supringing about it.

because lucas was an actual world builder and story teller. he created a world, added some characters, and then used them to tell a story, set in that world. whereas nu wars are is 90% about "THE AMAZING NEW CHARACTERS" and how "MUCH COOLER THEY ARE" then the original old racist/sexist/bigotted/heroes journey characters from before. one is a GIRL! one is BALACK! one is MEXICAN! omg REPRESENTATION!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup, if Lucas had a few people willing to tweak his script the PT would be so much better. As it stands they're good but flawed. The little errors are so grating.

Why does Disney hate the idea of aliens using the force bros?

I agree. But even the way they reintroduced Han, Leia and Luke.

>Han and Chewie enter the Falcon, long pause
>Camera zooms in on Leias face
>Luke slowly takes off his hood

You never saw this type of shit in the prequels

>You never saw this type of shit in the prequels
because they were shot by hacks mimicking capeshit. the only scenes that come close in the prequels are the villain reveals: darth maul and grevious

Shitskins and trannies want to identify with cool Force users, but they don't want to identify with aliens.

They had soul. They had a good story and plot. Top notch soundtrack.

You unironically had to have been literal child who watched the Prequels when they came out to have liked them. At least the OT can be enjoyed by adults. The PT is pure trash for the young zoomers

looking cool is more than sufficient enough to become a cool character and sell shit tons of toys. how many lines did boba have in the OT again? yeah that's what I thought. he became a legend based on looks, and george himself said he never even intended boba to be popular or badass. shut the fuck up retard.

I am gonna be a contrarian, but I'm going to say it: Christensen was very good in his sulky Anakin mode. I certainly understood during those moments what Lucas saw in him.

My nigga Plo Koon and his yellow lightsaber in Jedi Power Battles on PS1

You are totally right. His performance has stood the test of time.

it's really bugging me that I said "sufficient enough" they mean the same fucking thing and either would have worked alone. I'm tired and nitpicking my own posts just kill me senpai.

The Prequels gave us so much great offshoot stuff like Knights of the Old Republic and Battlefront II. There was an entire generation of Star Wars games, comics, and shows that was semi-built by real Star Wars enthusiasts that took Lucas's autism and propelled it into great lore.

How do they work? You can't produce sound waves in space..

As a general rule, the best and most memorable scenes in the prequel trilogy are the ones that do not feature any dialogue.

Ep I: The podrace, the three way lightsaber duel

Ep II: Chase through the asteroid field, battle of Geonosis, confrontation with Count Dooku at the end

Ep III: Scene with Anakin and Padme in the two buildings, Order 66 montage, duel between Yoda and the Emperor, Vader being put into the suit

Everything Naboo. Their design is just so fucking aesthetic.

In hindsight he didn't deserve the hate. Dude got a role of a lifetime but disowned it completely.

The good thing about the prequel trilogy is that all three have one coherent storyline. The execution, well we all know that story, but none of you can refute that the storyline across all three movies made sense with clear character arcs.
Which is worlds better than the sequel trilogy. They could subvert my expectations all day, if they at least had a clear story arc across all three movies instead of making shit up as they go.

When Pendelton Ward created adventure time Finn's original name was Pen. Why do people do this?

And somehow they are more memorable then whatever Disney put out.

Hershlag is without a doubt the best thing about the prequels

Yet you bought the toys and thought they were cool. Thats the difference.

I'm pretty sure this is the only reason my dad didn't complain when I asked him to take me to this movie 3 times.

it's pretty clear now that everything about that role was completely intentional and skillfully executed but people wanted to identify with the villain and found it disturbing that he was purposefully made so "uncool".

the madman made the centerpiece of his life's work an extended tribute to starship troopers. it will never cease to amaze me.

>118521047
It's got an objectively more original and better storyline than the original trilogy and the nu trilogy. Even if the execution is not as good as OT

Also sorta-kinda coding the republic as fascist/fighting against aliens helps put dog whistle into our minds. It’s no coincidence we view the trade feds as victims

Lucas got a lot of shit because he made the good guys have shitty morals, acting like high and mighty judge dredds

The reason why the OT toys were worth a lot was because hardly any of them were ever made. For the prequels, a fuckton were made in reaction to this, and yet collectors thought they could make tons of money from buying tens of these items despite the fact that there were millions of them.

It would be like going to IKEA and buying 20 flatpack tables and thinking that one day there wont be as many and people will want them for more than you paid.
