The Jedi Council is not supposed to be a political body.
There's no way you're so dumb you couldn't differentiate between the jedi council and the Senate.
People like you are the audience Disney has in mind when it comes to the sequels.
By ET.

They're autistic. Outside of the internet, no one cares about them.

They are generals, they arrest Palpatine ‘in the name of the Galactic Senate’, they are councilors to high-ranking politicians. They clearly are a political entity akin to the praetorian guard. Maybe they don’t have official power but they do have a large amount of influence on those in charge
>not basedboy wan

The Jedi Council itself is really nebulous and contradictory. Because, yes, they're supposed to be "above politics" and "not soldiers of war" .. except that's all they ever seem to do. They act in the interest of the government and are beholden to the Senate. They're basically hypocrite attack dogs of the Republic.
Being generals in a war campaign makes them automatically political.
Anyway Lucas' brain is bitter green apple jello
When has Padme ever wore that head piece on the far right?
Prequels are funny bad
Sequels are boring bad
I don’t think she ever did
this is why old republic is based and everything else is cringe. the empire and the republic are just two different factions who both blow up planets and commit war crimes so they can win their wars. the sith and jedi openly support either faction so they can also win their wars.

Oh come on, by the end of it they were a bunch of superpowered mini dictators will a lot of political pull. That straight up killed anyone who did not listen to them.
they are both on their own and as inspiration for some good expanded universe stuff.

I would be okay never watching either of them again
>SOUL compared to the soulless, market researched toy bait of the new movies
They don't. They only exist to sell toys and (really fun) video games.

There was a segment when she was being guarded by obiwan and anakin where she went through a half dozen costume changes in just a few scenes. It stood out as ridiculous in the theater but I guess it was meant to highlight her wealth.

Ironic, considering that the second biggest thing everyone complained about in the prequels after the bad writing was the over-use of CGI.
CGI is based. The problem is that the new movies feel like their basic premise was assembled by algorithm.
He did NOT execute him, he just didn't save him.
Which is different, would save some random near a pit of lava, risking your own life?
No, you would not.
I’d rather have a bad movie that doubles has an endearing cringe comedy than a bad movie that I forget as soon as I leave the theater.
Because they are

Many theories, but here's mine:
-being choked to unconsciousness by Anakin and, presumably, being unconscious during the entire ensuing fight scene couldn't be good for a pregnant woman
The prequels were the best trilogy because they mentioned the Republic's tax policy.
How can people not realise the Jedi being hypocritical assholes is the entire point of the prequels? You haven't stumbled upon a plothole brainlet.
They had better actors anyway
FUCK SAND AND FUCK THE JEDI ORDER
Anakin subconsciously drained her lifeforce in order to survive his injuries and the operation that turned him into Vader. The scene of the operation and Padme dying are intercut, aren't they? And the first thing he asks about is Padme, like he knows he did something.
But uniroinically.
>the first thing he asks about is Padme, like he knows he did something.
He asks if she's alright because his last memory is choking her out and leaving her on lava world unattended

Name one aspect where the sequels outdid the prequels. Even if you consider the prequels to be shitty movies (which they kinda were in many respects), they still did everything better.
Sooo... why are they allowed to kill the chancellor? They had any proof it was him? Is being a sith a crime? For me Sheev just acted in self defense.

obi wan was an awful character in the prequels. he should have been more like anakin, a young guy having fun, just slightly morally superior. but they made him too wise and dull and his friendship with anakin was NEVER believable. that and the awfully written love story with padme are the main reasons why these prequels are bad. but the ideas were good. george should have stayed an idea guy
>awfully written love story with padme
George should have stuck with the original script
>obi wan was an awful character in the prequels
weird way of outing yourself as a faggot but okay
Intentional. The Jedi at the time had become weak, ineffective and hypocritical, much like the Republic itself. Always remember that the CIS had entirely valid reasons for wanting to break away before their cause was co-opted by Sidious.
I never truly realized and appreciated how much the prequels created and shaped.
>>Prequels: John Williams fully original score that makes the trilogy feel unique
>>Sequels: Rehashed OT themes mixed together
Reminder that for Phantom Menace, Williams wasn't sure if Duel of the Fates needed a choir. Lucas encouraged him to keep it.
If the music in ST is just rehashed OT themes mixed together, that's also on the directors.
What does that have to do with anything?
Lucas made good decisions and had a good influence on the creative process?
Tbf all characters were dull apart from sheev. Anakin was too whiny, Obi-Wan too uninvolved with Anakins struggle to be really called his friend and the jedi council was dumb and overly passive throughout the movie.
Has it ever been established that this angle on the republic/jedi was intentional?
Why weren't the CIS just allowed to leave peacefully?
Once you join the Republic, you're forced to stay there forever? How Imperial of them.
All I said was the prequels score was better than the sequels, I don't see how it being due to Lucas or Williams is relevant.
Kind of contradicts that regular narrative that Lucas was nothing but dead weight keeping the real talent down, doesn't it?
I think it meant to mirror the American Civil war with cis being the South(bad) and republic the North(good)
Well yeah, thats always been a BS narrative. I don't see how it contradicts anything I said in my post though is all I'm saying.
Lucas can't really write dialogue for shit, but otherwise to say he was 'dead weight' is retarded
>Yea Forums incels are this mad at people of color and black KINGS
He took a lot of awful decisions, jar jar being the most blatant one. It was also one of the few instances were his team told him that it was a bad character even despite test audiences hating him he kept him in.
>I don't see how it contradicts anything I said in my post though is all I'm saying.
Why did you think it was supposed to contradict it?
>tfw just found my prequels DVD box set I've been missing since 2009
I'm an OTfag but I'll be damned if these movies aren't fun to rewatch even for laughs.
the fact you think the prequel movies had soul, which were the most soulless things of their time, goes to show how meaningless that term is and how easily manipulated you are by the passage of time.
I watch them for the memes. Watched the OT last time 2003. Prequels are exactly in the sweet spot of so bad it's good.
ohnonononono go back
The dialogue was exactly the way Lucas wanted it to be. What people don't get is that Star Wars was never supposed to be naturalistic. It's a melodramatic space opera that takes after Flash Gordon and classical myth. It's all about grand statements, and dramatic over acting. That was the whole point.
Jar Jar is underratted.
Eh, it's a mixed bag of emotions and judgment.
Sequels are certainly more competently made, but they completely lack any sort of vision, which is a big no no when you're making a follow up to an existing saga which is somewhat internally coherent.
I have no problem with stylistic over realistic dialogue, but that was true of the OT though too, and it was never as bad as some parts of the prequels. Anakin/Padme scenes especially
>It's all about grand statements, and dramatic over acting. That was the whole point.
It's also why Sheev is so great. McDiarmid understood this and went into full scenery chewing mode.
The prequels are more enjoyable to watch, even if the fun comes from them being shitty. The sequels don’t have that “shitty but fun” element. They’re just shitty.
If you watch the OT again, check out the Despecialized version or OT4K.
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.
kek
this, it's like watching the room with laser swords.
That may worked for the ot but the overall tone and cut decisions made in the prequels totally ruin it. I remember that one scene in ep I where there is first a sad moment about anakin and his mom which directly cuts to a jar jar fart joke with an ugly creature. You have dozens of examples where the movies ruin the tone with bullshit like this.
Duel of the fates was originally Obi's theme and had a choir and instrumental versions right from the start, there wasn't really any confusion when it comes to this.
The non-choir version was never used in the movie and technically could be considered lost media, a short loop of it can only be found in the PC version of The Phantom Menace videogame from 1999.
Oh, on top of that, the non-choir version is in a different key, sounds less dramatic but more adventurous and mixes with other action pieces. At least that's what can be said after what was released, which isn't a lot.
hello there
god damn you just KNOW
I prefer something that tries and fails to something that attempts nothing and serves no more purpose than bump up Disney's stock. Even when George was just trying to sell toys he did with an imagination and vision that was compelling. I loved that shit as a kid. Even as it made older fans REEEEE, I was hooked to it. I can see the faults now but at the time my feelings were real. Kids today don't care about Star Wars. It's made for an "adult" audience, ie it's full of woke bullshit. George spends half the prequels shitting on Bush but it's not noticeable unless it's pointed out to you.
There is a good story in the prequels that was not properly told. Just look at the success of the adapted material if you don't believe me.
the prequels had their own path
meanwhile episode 9 has rehashed SUPER MEGA DEATHSTAR DESTROYER FLEETS and EMPEROR PALPATINE (again)
how utterly boring
I'd place Revenge above the other two prequels
The empire strikes back is the only good star wars movie

It's more like they want to be Marvel flicks but can't even meet that standard, either.

The prequels are better than the OT
There's a lot of P O T T E R Y in that scene. Notice how Anakin is screaming out "Padme, help me" but his vocal cords are too charred to actually say it.
>I felt her, she was alive
Anakin killed Padme (he drained her lifeforce, perhaps unknowingly) and Sidious knew it. He really had discovered the secret of extending life but ironically the opposite way to Plageuis. That's why he didn't even bother to challenge him. Why the fuck would he need to save others, when he could save himself.

Palpatine wasn't on Mustafar at the start. Think about it. Life extending techniques, tragedy, irony. The very obvious timings of the intertwined scenes. George practically spelled it out
Brainlet take. Movies are not documentaries. The scenes are portrayed in a particular way so as to convey a deliberate message or information.

Go watch a Kurosawa film to see how this is done correctly, then compare it to Star Wars.
If I wasn't a phoneposting nigger right now, I'd try to actually explain it, but it's pretty obvious I think if you rewatch the scenes that at the very least Padme didn't just go "fuck it I'm out" and the choking didn't kill her as Obi Wan "confirms" this to the audience (christ he borderline gives you a cheeky nudge and wink)
>WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T STEAL RILEYS WIFE
Exactly. It was never supposed to be "good". It was clearly directed in a way which subverted your ordinary understanding of dialogue. Anybody that doesn't like Star Wars dialogue work doesn't get the point of advancing acoustic cinema,

And then there are retards
The prequels are infused with a bold vision of artistic profundity that eclipses the likes of generic sci-fi movies of recent times. The streamlining process that has begun to creep into the production of every slightly sci-fi-y tinged movie has created an amorphous blob of mediocrity and blandness. The prequels deliver a basic premise of good vs. evil but do it so by utilizing characters that are endowed with humanity. Aside from the storytelling aspect the prequels stand strong on all fronts, from writing, cinematography and set pieces that truly immerse you into a fantastic world full of wonder and awe. It is infinitely unfortunate that this behemoth of a film project is marred by the majority of the populace's inability to assess the genius and lack of intelligence. One can only hope that in eons to come, evolution will have worked in ways as to ensure and maximize the distribution of the gene that thrives in the intellectual minority of our time so that future generations and civilizations will be able to grasp the grandeur of the prequels and see behind the masquerading illusion that is reddit.

Episode 3 alone is better than anything the sequels have produced. Episode 1 and 2 are up for debate.
But fight wise they have absolutely nothing on the prequels. Imagine having John fucking Williams and NOT giving him a chance to possibly top the prequel score.
Say what you will about the prequels but they were Williams' peak.
>Stop defending children's movies
If you rewatch the prequels they have a CONSISTENT story that follows through to the end. Even if it's messy at least it always comes down to Anakins rise and fall.
Say it.
