This is on TV right now and its the 1St time I saw it.
I heard it gets a lot of hate but idk im quite enjoying it
>looks amazing
>really good CGI for a movie from the old days
>cool robots and lightsabres
>Jedi actors pretty good
>sexy princess amelda
>yes jar jar is a little annoyng but also funny
>cool spacesuit and city design
>nice costumes
Overall im really enjoying it
Why did does it get so much hate?
Its as equally good as the old movies I saw...episode 4 and 5
Meant spaceships
it's a typical 90's McMovie.
>>sexy princess amelda
pedo
>amelda
phantom menace is great, it's the other two prequel movies that suck. The only thing that bugs me is that maul was killed off in such a cheap way, but that's it
>>yes jar jar is a little annoyng but also funny
Jar jar never bothered me as a kid.
I saw it recently and there were about 20 seperate ocasions of jar jar falling over or dropping something. It's just really astounding that so much jar jar made it into the movie.
has more heart and soul that most of the MCU and all of nu-wars
Consider this though: this is the first time you're watching an extremely well known movie with wide availability. This indicates how patchy at best your movie knowledge must be, and so: why would your opinion about it would matter dick?
They brought him back in the new canon
Now THIS is shill posting.
This.
Mostly Jar Jar and kid Anakin. Though Lucas should be blamed on both of those, as Jar Jar was meant to be "kid funny" where as the kid obviously didn't know how to act and Lucas is notoriously bad at giving actors direction.
They used a lot of money on him, so they probably used all they made.
It's unironically the best one
It's the best of the prequels. The pod race arc gets a little drawn out and it has some pacing issues, but in general it's a solid story with solid actors (even the kid is passable).
>Its as equally good as the old movies I saw...episode 4 and 5
That's just being mental, and makes me seriously consider this:
That matte painting though... yikes.
This relationship should’ve been fleshed out better. Anakin should’ve had an abusive father and had no real male authority figure until Qui-Gon came along. Becoming the father he should’ve had. Then when Qui-Gon dies he lets his insecurities about authority take over him and resents the Jedi for being like his father. Especially when the Jedi won’t let him save his mother and tell him to let go of his emotions towards her. The ending of ROTJ would have so much more weight to it. Realizing he’d become like his own father as he watches Luke being tortured by the Emperor. Then saving Luke and showing love for him unlike his father.
>Anakin and his mother, Rey
reminder that EP3 opening scene will never be topped
Older movies were generally better. So a bad one from back then would be better than an average capeshit today
Man children wanted a movie that was exactly like the original trilogy. Lucas tried to do something more ambitious in the same universe and the pathetic man children threw a fit.
Phantom Menace is solid, and is the only prequel film that doesn't go overboard with CGI. Revenge of the Sith had the more engaging story and the best moments, but Phantom is actually the more competent film. Attack of the Clones was by far the most flawed of the prequels.
Reminds me of a certain other film in this franchise that tried to shake things up and do something different that man children complained about and won’t be truly appreciated until much later.
Prequels are better, because in those at least not every location they go to is some bumfuck of nowhere made of 4 wood and some cloth over it.
fuck, best part of EP2 is when chase they bounty hunter, you see a beautiful futuristic city and now some another half-deserted shithole like OT and ST
By the time i first saw a SW it was PM aired on tv Ive also just started playing Jedi Outcast
It was so awesome i could feel hype literally pumping through my veins
Pure excitement
>Pure excitement
you mean Pure Pazaak
>...and won’t be truly appreciated until much later.
If things continue with clownworld then yes these movies will be hailed as masterpieces.
but with stupid spider legs.
post kino ships
Why would they shill a 20 year old movie you fucking retard?
Princess amygdala is like 13 you pedo
Disney(tm) must be planning a rerelease.
The Last Jedi didn't do anything different though. It was a chopped up rehash of Empire and Return, only Rian added his own shitty spin on it and spit on the Jedi/Sith mythos.
Jar jar as the hidden sith lord is my favorite theory of the prequels
Qui gon is hilarious
This would save everything.
Looking for any sith bastard.
This thread belongs to CIS now.
KotOR era has peak aesthetics, especially when it comes to ships.
how were a bunch of faggy, non threatening jobber robots still a cooler faction than the Rebels?
CIS is one of the coolest fictional factions
youtube.com
You clearly have not heard about the Driodekas. In fact none is match for power of Driodeka.
It was less of a rehash than TFA was. Not to mention that Lucas kept certain beats in TPM that were present in ANH.
Stop talking about prequels they were made by a man.
This generation has new heroes.
The CIS is literally the coolest faction by far in all of Star Wars, and I'd even argue in all of fiction.
Greatest flagship coming through. Move aside Venators.
It's a good movie on its own, but 'prequels' are generally a bankrupt concept:
>learn that the force is a genetic aberration, equivalent to x-men powers
>learn that darth vader started out as a pathetic child
>learn that the star wars universe is actually very bureaucratic
>the jedi council is a hemming and hawing bunch of shitheads
etc
why are Classic shown on TV versions cut to bits ?
>pacing issues
>weird plotlines
>budget blown of sfx
>unnatural dialogue
>characters that don't act like people
>plot holes out the ass
>stupid comic relief
What's funny is its actually a half-decent movie and you'll find that most criticism of it applies to virtually every 5/6/7 out of 10 movie made.
As overused as the line is, at least Lucas had some kind of vision for the movies.
Helps that the CIS has the most diversity out of all the star wars factions. And not as in the faggot kind of diversity, but as in their leaders, soldiers and ships can be completely different from one battlefield to the next
It was never said in the movie that midichlorians are causing ability to use force in someone. I always assumed that they are feeding on force so the more stronger the host the bigger his midichlorians count.
You just know Dooku keeps the Twi'lek around for the sex
Yeah - I was just 14 when TPM came out, but I liked it a lot. Granted, there weren't nearly as many scifi movies in the world in 1999, so movies like TPM and The Fifth Element were more 'precious' for escapism-junkies.
Episode 2 was trash.
Episode 3 was an extremely safe, paint by numbers, 'genesis of darth vader' story.
TPM is peak Star Wars. The sequels were made from a negative reaction to TPM, which resulted in three very non-star wars shits.
>It was never said in the movie that midichlorians are causing ability to use force in someone.
Midichlorians = Mitochondrions
Reminder that there are philistines out there who don't like the podracing segment
youtube.com
Could you imagine any filmmaker today saying they're going to add a 15 minute high speed racing scene into their fantasy movie?

Everyone has Mitochondrions though so they arent the same thing.
Hi, just a reminder that the Jedi Council measuring and ranking force-users by number of midichlorians was there to show just how much the Council had strayed from the force. The prequels as a whole are a critique and warning of the weaknesses in parliamentary democracy. Very low-brained take to say “george is saying midichloreans are the force now”.
I know almost all the sound effects of this sequence ny heart, as if it was music (which only happens in the last track). Ben Burt is the true fucking genius of Star Wars, so is Ralph McQuarrie.
You ok, man?

kek. I’ve got a great relationship with my dad actually. Just think it would be interesting if Anakin’s upbringing played into his eventual turn to Vader.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Star Wars was revolutionary for its time, but never again. That's why it had the impact it did and why the sequels have failed in markets where nostalgia isn't a factor. The cult and the fandom around it is absurd.
>Why did does it get so much hate?
Because they put the Star Wars original trilogy on such a high pedestal that absolutely nothing Lucas could have done would have been good enough.
spoonhead
>Why did does it get so much hate?
Because it's a shitty movie with an illogical plot, horrible acting, retarded dialogue, and stupid kiddie jokes that cheapened the series and ruined the entire franchise.
The prequels have some legitimate problems, but really, a lot of the hate is a bandwagon people jumped on because it was cool, and gen-X manchildren being unable to deal with getting older and not feeling the "magic" anymore. Those same people generally loved TFA when it came out, because seeing the Millenium Falcon triggered their nostalgia glands. They're like drug addicts who need their "muh childhood" hit.
TLJ had the beginnings of some interesting ideas, but it killed them all by returning everything to the status quo in the last ten minutes. If they'd gone all in with the idea of the whole Empire/Rebellion conflict being a load of fake bullshit, and ended with Rey and Kylo joining hands, I'd defend that movie.
Right. High midichlorian count corresponds with high force ability. They aren't causing the force. I think the EU specified that midichorians are like a middle-man that help people to tap into the force, but the force is still just the force.
>Was too sunny
An ironic observation when you think of modern complaints about too much CGI in the dark.
Kys
Midi-chlorians are a loose depiction of mitochondria, which are necessary components for cells to divide. They probably had something–which will come out someday–to do with the beginnings of life and how one cell decided to become two cells with a little help from this other little creature who came in, without whom life couldn’t exist. And it’s really a way of saying we have hundreds of little creatures who live on us, and without them, we all would die. There wouldn’t be any life. They are necessary for us; we are necessary for them. Using them in the metaphor, saying society is the same way, says we all must get along with each other. - George Lucas
EU was always better than original star wars
>>>>>>Reddit Letter Media
Of course.
Why the f a 1999 movie CG looks better than anything from nu wars?
This is what you get with Prequel criticism. Legitimate problems like "why are the Clone Troopers all CGI" gets mixed in with shit that amounts to "I don't feel like Star Wars should look this way", which is stupid.
Soul.
Looking at this picture, it's kind of obvious that Republic was literally a white human supremacist organisation right from the start.
>praising entirely superficial elements

Doesn't Palpatine intentionally stoke tensions between humans and aliens to break up the Republic?
