I remember watching episode 1 as a small child and not understanding anything about it other than that the action scenes were cool. The whole politics thing really didn't belong in a children's movie.

Watch the plinkett reviews.

>>181951382
Too much focus on children
Tryed to explain stuff (like the force is bacteria inside of you) that never needed to be explain

Also, George Lucas worked best when he had a team around him that could veto him and told him no, when he got the blankoscheck he had too many ideas that didn't worked together desu
Darth Maul vs Obi Wan and Qui Gon was filmed whiles Lucas wasn't even in the country and the stundmen just went wild and you see it

>>181951382
People still had standards then

>>181951431
Yeah I watched them first as a kid and thought they were cool but now I do kinda enjoy the trade federation shit. I like how George made all the aliens stereotypes I understand.

They were the first movies to really dive into the fully cgi landscapes at that time, it was 1999 when the first one came out. It was incredibly jarring and looked like shit and had jar jar. You can't remember this, but the first jurassic park was the only major movie to do big cgi at that time before that. It was all more subtle, and these movies had full cgi sets that were never seen before. You also can't understand the expectations that were on these movies following up the originals

>>181951382
They're deeply retarded.

It made Gen X nerds mad as fuck because it showed that Star Wars has always been for children. When Ep. 1came out I thought it was cool as hell because I was a child and didn't know any better.

I didn't even know they were hated until I found the Plinkett reviews. Loved them as a kid.

>>181951382

The true chosen one.

I liked episode 1, the second one was pretty boring overall and I wasn't that excited about the third one, even watched that in the cinema.
The only things I remember fondly now about them are some tracks from the OST and the podracing stuff.
Coruscant was also pretty cool but it's never really that flashed out sadly.

>Can you explain why they were so hated when they came out?
I hate all of them now, but honestly Episode 1 was probably one of the most anticipated movies of my young adulthood. That might factor into the amount of enjoyment I got out of seeing it opening night with a bunch of friends.

I think generally we just didn't like little kid Anakin and obviously Jar Jar Binks was retarded. Other than that from what I remember most people loved Episode 1.

>>181951382
kids didn't hate them
grown-ups did

and like >>181951530 said, things around it were much better. The Matrix and LotR had been released. Terminator 2, Jurassic Park and Titanic had set new grounds for what the quality of the effects were expected. The competition was high.

I enjoyed Episode III when I saw it on the screen. My pals were more lukewarm and I can see that. It's too ambitious. Like the original Star Wars. But the prequel-trilogy was also too political, the plot went over the head of some audiences. And they werenn't polished enough, the effects were not subpar, but you could feel how awkard the dialogue, the clothes, the worlds are.

I still think The Revenge of the Sith is a solid 9 and the most enjoyable/entertaining Star Wars movie thanks to the memes and the dialogue ("You're underestimating my power"). It's on the same level as A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. And Attack of the Clones has grown on me with time, the romeo/julia plot is so absolute in it's execution that it becomes pure old tragic drama. The Phantom Menace was, is and will always be a kids movie, for children, which is acceptable. I guess adults can appreciate the sound effects of the pod race and the sick costumes for Padme/Sheev.

>>181951382
Because they were a little too on-the-nose about what was actually going on in the world.

lol

>>181951771
This. Most people either look back on them fondly because SW is even more shit now or they are zoomies who don't have a fucking clue anyway.
99% of them haven't even seen the original trilogy without the abhorrent later edits from Lucas.

>>181951781
7/10 but you lost it mentioning movies that came out after Episode one. Independence Day had special effects that shit all over the prequels.

>>181951892
Even if they were mindblowing, if a movie is shit, CGI doesn't save it imo.
Same reason I only watched a couple of scenes from Avater and not the second one.
I'm just not interested in mediocre garbage that looks "good", I can just keep playing games for that.

>>181951861
That's why I prefer the prequels now, because the only way to watch OG Star Wars is by downloading a poor quality torrent.

>>181951562
I fucking hated Ep1 as a kid, I remember waiting the entire movie for JarJar to fuck off until I realized he would be shoe horned in there until the end.

>>181951382
watch the Plinkett reviews, he perfectly outlines how bad they are.

I dont care about Star Wars but the laziness of the prequels and George being a terrible leader is actually entertaining to see

>>181951382
The entire focus and tone was not really what people expected or wanted from new Star Wars, and though there are more legit criticisms about things like some of the acting, pacing, focus, amount of effects, I genuinely think that's responsible for a lot of it. People expected a romp that felt like what they knew. You have to remember how much smaller it was as a franchise then. Sure there were tv cartoons and spinoff books and toys everywhere, but in the eyes and hearts of most of the world, Star Wars was just those three films, and these ones simply didn't feel the same. We're in a weird nostalgia based dystopia now with entitled people screaming about reliving their childhoods and not wanting elements that are new and different, but for all their actual flaws, this was the first big cultural shift into that.

>>181952146
Those reviews do not hold up well. They're honestly really bad and make a lot of bizarre points that don't make sense

>>181952173
Yup. They were expecting something else and have been whining about it for almost 30 fucking years. The prequels had soul and are a lot mor rewatchable than anything today.

Episode 1 was the best SW out of all the 9 movies and any spinoff.
Don't (You) me, I know I'm right.

>>181951382
I was 14 in 1999. Episode I was, "okay." It was a serviceable entry. Thing is though, the public whipped itself into a frenzy and expectations were too high. There had been such a gulf between not just films but any Star Wars media that there was no way a merely serviceable entry would satisfy. Episode I had some cool tie-in media though. I played the PC game and Racer for HOURS.

>>181951382
Du no, but I went to see the second with some relatives and honestly they found it boring. I think they left upset at the end of the movie, I also seemed a bit tired. I guess that was it. In my opinion the recent trilogy was much better, leaving aside all that bullshit about consistency with the plot and so on.

>>181952176

Lucas couldn't direct for shit. Shit acting exposed even harder by new digital cameras in number two. Like Kevin Smith directing, locked cameras on some shit acting with dogshit I mean poodoo dialogue.
Ep 3 was based because it had cowriters. Supposedly ILM bros directed entire sequences like the opening one shot deal.
Overall Lucas revolutionized filmmaking again with digital and green screen shit that enabled Peter Jackson, and they are better than the horrific sequels.
Podracing scene and sound were incredible. If Spielberg directed these he would have overhauled a lot of lame shit and they would be better than Return of the Jedi at least

>>181951382
Gen X'ers wanted rehashes of the OT. Rebels vs empire, X-wings vs TIE fighters, big scary villain vs. young jedi hero. What they got instead was an involved conspiracy that involved politics and religion, and primary characters who were more complex than those in the OT.
The proof of this is how RedLetterMedia found fault with every single aspect of the prequels- even the objectively good stuff like Palpatine's scheming and the primary characters who all have believable motivations and complete arcs- while giving TFA a pass literally because it was a low-effort, plotless rehash of the OT.

>Luke watch out for that vicious bounty hunter Boba Fett. Did I ever tell you l fought his dad? He was hired to assassinate a senator me and your father were guarding. We kept bringing her around open windows and public areas in order to draw the would-be assassin out because we knew he had too much pride to just shoot her from long range. He had used his payment to hire another bounty hunter to kill the senator for him while he sent us on a wild bantha chase. Also the 2nd assassin used her payment to buy a robot to assassinate the senator for her. Did I mention the 2nd assassin was a shapeshifter? She could have been a good friend in disguise and just shot the senator for all we knew! Then the robot used its payment to buy poisonous bugs to release into the senators room while she slept after lasering a hole through the window. It could have just lasered her too after that because we we weren't watching her at all but it already bought the bugs. So we sense the hostile life forms not the robot in the room and rush in and save the senator in the nick of time! Then I jumped out the window to chase the robot back to its owner! Luckily it didn't have a self destruct function. Then we found the 2nd assassin and chased her across the planet and caught her when she tried to kill us instead of shapeshifting and escaping. But to our surprise Jango Fett was watching the whole thing instead of going to kill the senator while we were away chasing the bugs chasing the robot chasing the shapeshifter. He shot her with a poisonous dart instead of sniper blaster and only her instead of shooting all of us or blowing all of us with a rocket or something then he escaped with his tiny jetpack. Luckily for the senator my good friend Dexterr Jettster owned a 50s dinner on Courscant that had Republic secrets on the menu along with cheeseburgers and malt shakes. We found the assassin and Mace Window killed him later right in front of Boba. And he was a good friend.

>>181951431
I watched them as a child and understood everything about it. Bad guys are invading good guy planet, they need to go get help to fight back against bad guys but when they get there, they need to talk about it and it's going to take too long, so they go back to fight it out. There was nothing complicated about the politics. You were just an idiot child that should have stuck with sesame street.

>>181951562
>It made Gen X nerds mad as fuck because it showed that Star Wars has always been for children
Nope. Return of the Jedi made us mad because the ewoks showed us these movie were now for children
I was in my 30s when the prequels came out and enjoyed them for what they were

>>181951382
I think I was like 18 when phantom menace came out. I enjoyed it, I didn't think it was as good as the original but still fun. the more hardcore Star Wars fans didn't like JarJar or little Anakin. they thought it was too kiddie. fucking Ewoks hello.
I think a lot of fans expected EU seriousness and got Star Wars family movie.

my only grips with the prequels is I think script needed to be cleaned up, a lot of the dialogue can be clunky and stilted, especially the romance. I wish Lucas would have focused more on the Clone Wars but I guess that wasn't the point.

I never really read much of the EU but I think fans expected EU and got Star Wars instead.

>>181952309
You're right, haven't found them yet on the Usenet though sadly. Do you know how I can access a group directly without an indexer?

>>181951382
Episodes 2 and 3 were not hated, people thought episode 2 was meh and episode 3 was super rushed. I personally did not hate episode 1, but I think the older fellows were justified in being offended by the kiddy tone of episode 1 after George received plenty of criticism for the awkward tone shift in episode 6. No matter how much people want to parrot the "for children" line, it is undeniable that episode 6 was a leap in a different direction tonally from 4 and 5 (obviously ignoring the throne room scenes). Anyway, just imagine your favorite movie or video game series finally gets a sequel after 20 years and they double down on the worst aspect unapologetically, and on top of that it's a prequel designed to spoil your favorite characters retroactively.

Luke, did I ever tell you about the "kids movie, Return of the Jedi? The "cute" Ewoks were literally going to have a cannibal barbecue to cook everyone, and do Force knows what to R2. Then the whole battle scene where they are getting blastedand dying, and one even gets shot out of the sky, and possibly gets stepped on by a scout walker. And the whole beginning where:
the slave girl is fed to a monster, then it eats a pig guard while the audience gets to watch, then Luke drops a gate on it's head while the audience watches and hears it's death rattle on screen.
Then the whole Sarlacc battle, where people are getting blastered, sabered, and tossed into a pit where we established they are going to be digested for a thousand years. Oh, and did I mention watching Jabba getting choked out in all it's glory?
Oh, and I nearly forget the whole droid torture scene, after we set up two movies showing they could think, feel, and all that. And we totally imply that R2 and 3P0 might get tortured by that sadistic droid, and show several droid getting tortured in screen (good thing we didn't have PG-13 yet, right?).

Then there's Luke getting electrocuted, while screaming in agony, then watching vader getting friend (with full on skull seen though the suit).

But Lucas made RoTJ "for kids"
...and he was a good friend.

>>181951382
They completely shat on all the worldbuilding done in the originals. Nothing makes sense in the prequals.
C3PO is a royal interpreter, that's why he's gold and fancy and doesn't fit in on Tattooine. Now he was built by a slave boy on Tattooine. It's all retarded.
The rough outline of the story of Anakin is ok but the movies are some of the dumbest shit ever made. There's almost nothing redeeming about them but somehow they're still better than the Disney movies.

Soulless, heartless, sterile, stilted movies. It's like they were made by a machine. There is no pacing, no rhythm, everything is so one note and simplistic: from composition to camera work. Lighting is flat, the movie lacks texture and weight.
Prequels are not real movies. It's shocking watching a real movie, say, LOTR trilogy, and then going back to the prequels. It's amazing how the two came out on the same years, yet differ so much in quality.

The 16 year gap between ROTJ and TPM gave everyone a lot of time to imagine for themselves what the era of Jedi and the rise of the Empire was like and expected something similar in tone to the vidya/books of the era and got a cartoon instead.

they weren't hated, kids enjoyed the first one, the second one had some cringe stuff but people enjoyed the clone stuff and I remember everyone liking ep 3.

Star Trek was always a show for 20 year old nerds, though. Star Wars is essentially an expensive toy commercial. It's the movie equivalent of He-Man or Transformers, yet Lucas decided to make the plot revolve around a trade embargo and muh senate, along with Jar-Jar feces fun, lust provoking Padme and child slaughter. Who the fuck was the target audience of these movies?

>>181955979

One of the lamest things about the Prequels is that it has tons of hammy unnecessary memberberry moments that people have accepted over time (Anakin being born in the same place as Luke, Anakin built C3PO, every clone trooper is related to Boba Fett, Yoda meeting Chewie, etc)

>>181957532
...and that addresses what I said, how?

>>181957616
They don't, in both the originals and the prequals the thoughts and dreams of the heroes are controlled by the Sith.
The attempt to escape attachment leaves them like leaves blowing in the wind and anyone with strong lungs can blow them where he likes.
Promoting this in cinema form as enlightenment leaves the mind of the audience open to demonic influence. It's all part of the ritualistic demonic warfare against your eternal soul.

Caring about the woman you love or wanting to have children is the path to the dark side. Any attachment to anything leads to worldly temptations that will make your own power corrupt you. This is because all power corrupts so you dirty plebs shouldn't get any ideas about wanting to have any.

Nah. And the RotS is the worst since he has the least to work with so has to make the broadest least supported statements - “nobody likes these characters;” “nobody will remember Dexter Jettster and his 50s cafe” - and then just blanket says it has bad editing since it shows when super powered knights who fight with swords lose those swords then gives no other examples. Remember that it was appealing to the Plinkett crowd that made TFA the way it was

>>181951382
>Can you explain why they were so hated when they came out?
They weren't. It was AstroTurf. Hollywood freaks lost out on billions lowballing Lucas after A New Hope and bore that grudge for decades. The the sheer amount of green screen and CGI, and being the leading edge for the tech at the time, it was a hell of a spectacle. It was always popcorn movie material, even with then older fag boomers and Gen X that didn't like it as much. It was as impactful for Gen Y as the OT was for them.

>>181958445
>1. Why is Shmi Skywalker, the galaxies equivalent of Mother Mary, left behind as a slave to eventually be raped by Tusken raiders?

Imagine she is freed. Do the Jedi go back and buy her for the express purpose of freeing her? They have now just engaged in the slave trade.
Also why free just one slave, why not all of them? It would be a huge scandal if it got out on the holonet. Now the Jedi/Republic have a mandate to free slaves all around the galaxy even where they don't have jurisdiction. Do they do this with military means or do they do this with financial means?
What if buying slaves to free them just encourages slave traders to always get new slaves for this now booming market?

>>181954442

the only thing people talked about TPM was the pod race

>>181959783

Get a human dominated army and crush the powerful xeno led corporations.

Dooku was genuinely disillusioned with the Jedi and the Republic. He was a useful idiot to act as a human face and point of contact for the xenos

>5. Why does Amidala need to sign a document to 'legalize the occupation'?

She is the head of government and her signature on a formal surrender gives the Trade Federation much more bargaining power

>>181959924
Yeah retard, people went to see the first new star wars movie in over a decade. It was the hype that carried the film. If you look at TPM's performance, after opening weekend it was just diminished returns. I know you are either baiting or too young but across the fucking board, all over the planet, the film was panned as early as the following weekend it was initially out. You can't just memoryhole an entire cultural event because of this weird cope you do with a movie you saw in a diaper.

>what their code of ethics SHOULD be based on the original trilogy

Let's say the prequles never were made. Are we supposed to take Obi-Wan and Yoda at their face value that the Jedi were pure nobelbright warriors?
The way I view it is how modern US soldiers view themselves as the "good guys" when describing themselves. Meanwhile the day to day machinations of the US military are a lot more morally gray especially when achieving US foreign policy.

>>181960105
>Let's say the prequles never were made. Are we supposed to take Obi-Wan and Yoda at their face value that the Jedi were pure nobelbright warriors?
Yes because it's a fucking morality play based on King Arthur and not The West Wing.

>TPM
Jar Jar Banks and Anakin as a little kid were the main complaints.
No one knew who the main character was supposed to be and there was lots of world-building and space politics while people wanted ANH but with Anakin instead of Luke.
>AotC
People got mad that Anakin acted like a cringey teenager instead of an alpha space Chad. They were also mad that the clone wars weren't whatever they had in their heads.
(Kids enjoyed this film a lot more though. Kids liked Podracing and Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan in ep1 while finding Jar Jar cringe. But kids in general liked all of AotC)
>RotS
No one had an issue with this film except RLM. It was universally loved by audiences when it released.
Also worth mentioning that no one disliked any of the films enough to affect the rest of the franchise

>>181960467
>brainwashed
I'm convinced you have to be like 15 or some shit since you clearly weren't alive for the post-Phantom shitstorm of everyone and their mother making fun of Jar Jar. I don't know why you have to spin your own headcanon reality around a film that was universally criticized from multiple different fucking countries, with people itt who were alive during that, telling you it happened.

>>181960509
>RotS was universally loved
no it wasn't.

>>181960516
I can't imagine being enshrouded in delusion that when presented with evidence that reviews were mostly average and that people consistently went to see them in theaters, that you can still convince yourself everyone always hated them, thought they were were the worst thing ever, and nobody ever liked them.

>>181960509
IMO Phantom Menace is actually a fine film, outside of the plotholes and bizarre logic it has. I never had a problem with Jar Jar and kid Anakin existing.

>>181960632
Posting average reviews that don't even praise the film from a handful of critics doesn't offset the entire culture zeitgeist that evolved around making fun of these films, that you clearly weren't alive for. Literally just use the waybackmachine and stop posting retarded cope shit you complete retard.

>they’re pretty tight movies
Incorrect - they are the very opposite of tight - all the dialog and exposition is way too loose - it would need to be compacted to make it more tight and the politics need to be conveyed by charismatic characters instead of the monotone boring way the movies do it.

>with cool action and memorable characters
The glowstick waving contests masquerading as lightsaber fights were never cool action, even in the 90s they looked as hokey and ridiculous as they do now.

>Other than laughable dialogue and overuse of cgi
Why other than that? Those are massive - shit dialogue is a deal breaker for anything. But since you failed to mention it: JAR JAR. He was jarring, he has no charm, he generated x-pac heat. Potty humor is a pet peeve of many a people. Leftoids also found him racist and rightoids were annoyed by the introduction of a Jamaican knock off chara into Star Wars. So one side hates him for ridiculing nignogs the other side hates him for representing nignogs. It's a lose lose situation.

Why does it bother you that the prequels are universally hated?

>>181962198
You reciting the script doesn't just magically MAKE the plot coherent.

The number one thing you need to remember about the time period is the years involved. 1999-2005 in particular.

You had WW2 film after WW2 film and show that were also shoehorning in the absurd evil of the Nazis and the Holocaust with in your face suffering. All these movies and shows were receiving award after award, so the midwits of the time thought that the PT was bad for not showing the suffering of the people of Naboo. They thought the PT was bad for not having clearly defined pure good guys and ontologically evil bad guys.

The number one criticisms were that you couldn't just "turn your brain off" and enjoy a story of good vs evil. It's alot easier to watch movies about an evil empire instead of a dysfunctional republic.
The failure of the Iraq war and the duping of the American public has fully vindicated George Lucas, but an entire generation of Americans will never be able to admit that they were goys with a simple minded view of the world.

>>181962135
In the grand scheme it's true; most people didn't care that much either way. But that also applies to TFA and even TLJ (looking at TLJ's reviews would give you an even more skewed perspective). That's not really what people are talking about.

All of the villains are cartoonishly evil. The one quasi-exception is Dooku, and that's only because aside from Lee's dignified attitude the character is barely anything. He's still an obvious dirt bag.

Darth Maul is a red and black murder machine that doesn't do anything for the entire film but try to kill people. Palpatine -- Or should I say, Dark Villain Man! -- is depicted for the entire trilogy as nothing less than satanic. There is not a single scene where he isn't manipulating, scheming, or murdering for his own acquisition of power, and the movie never tries to slant the audience's perspective otherwise. Everything is very clearly defined.

>>181962671

Depends on age group and where you're from. I was 6 years old when it came out and all my mates thought it was sick. We all fought over who was Darth Maul at school and who was allowed to fight with the really long stick.

Amerimutt nerds who were old already are not the target audience and they wanted the sequel trilogy anyway so fuck em.

Kids understand the movie perfectly.
They relate primarily with jar jar, padme and anakin, in that order.

We see the queen is sad, and the adults keep giving her bad news (like adults always do), and she can't get anyone to help her for bullshit reasons (the more the useless politicians prattle on the more tired the kids get, and the effect is thus they understand the plot).
Anakin is similarly being treated poorly and he does some sneaky things on the side like any good kid. Etc etc

The politics are perfectly understandable for kids, and they don't need to understand the greater plot to take part in the movie. Truly a master craft from lucas

>>181951382
Plot sucked, CGI was stupid and overused, dialogue was pure, 100% cringe. All flaws that easily go unnoticed by a child, but as one gets older they become more and more apparent. The final duel at the end of Phantom Menace was pretty badass though, despite some derpy choreography. However, despite the jankiness and retarded Lucas-isms that plague the prequels they still have SOVL, unlike the Jizzney retcon trash.

Wait, which is it. Are the prequels soulless goyslop or are they chud wish fulfilment? I'm actually confused at this point.

I don't think that's fair to say desu, and if they weren't called star wars they would have been forgotten about the day after the third debuted, well, for those that didn't give up after the second movie. Attack of the clones was embarrassing

>>181963486
Why is it that the cartoon rabbit alien evokes such revulsion from overly serious fagboys like you?
Is it because he exposed this thing you have latched on to as being "childish" and "puerile"?
The literal kike in the ointment you must destroy? Its fucking pathological with you.

you should just accept the movies for what they are. You might even enjoy them.

You could say the same for people butthurt over the sequels.

Sorry, I don't watch goyslop trash for downies.

Watch real cinema, you pathetic manchild. Grow up. Acquire taste. Also, learn English, you pathetic, worthless ESL subhuman.

You're implying they would've gotten a case of avatar syndrome. But they are still very evocative movies and endlessly debated.
Qui gon is interesting to talk about, anakin is interesting to talk about. Even guys like yoda and mace are made into interesting, divisive characters in the prequels. Even obiwan is given actual character depth and flaws to be analyzed and discussed.

They are endlessly more interesting than even the OT, who has stopped generating any sort of debate. Those movies are solved, and basically any movie made after 2010 has zero depth to it and no one cares for it.

Its the same with tv series. They are consumed and then forgotten.

But prequels threads still reach bump limit every day on here. If that's not the argument for a well made work of art I don't know what is.

This anger comes from some place. The movies themselves are insulting to you, to such a degree that you've nurtured a seething rage over several decades of time.

That is a pathetic type of rage. You should be ashamed.

Not anger, but rather annoyance comes from the fact that low IQ mongoloids, such as yourself, have grown up and gained access to the Internet, and now I have to tolerate your terrible taste and braindead posts over and over again.

>>181963614
Those movies are just not very interesting.
Not well shot, editing is always a beat too slow or too fast, with poor continuity between shots and poor compositions.

The music is also dull, and lifeless, and there's no new sound effects (they fired Ben burtt remember). So the entire experience is just boring, empty etc.

Even a deaf person can appreciate prequels tho, the shots are good. There are very nice color palettes being used. Good color theory.

Nah. Jar jar made you angry. And watching those movies created a wound inside you that has festered since that time. Embarrassing to admit as much on a fucking forum.
It comes through in every single post you've made this thread.

TLJ is a better looking film than any of the prequels, in terms of cinematography and general film craft.

No one involved with SW has ever acknowledged Plinkett reviews

>>181951382
Went from quality to negative-quality.

SW became shabby ever since as Lucas was also assraping the originals beforehand, though if you were inclined, there were stories from other licensed creatives that were still hit or miss. Books, comics, video games (think KOTOR). After the Mouse's acquisition, it's pure unfiltered garbage.

Saw what you want about the prequels, but the dialogue is extremely quotable and there was almost nothing from the recent movies.

>>181963444
The majority of people are unthinking, borderline retarded NPCs who eat McDonalds and listen to popmusic hits of the month. I don't think those people are capable of mustering up enough independent thought or will to hate anything the mainstream media didn't tell them to hate. So in short, no.

>>181951382
I saw all 3 in theaters on opening day. I literally don't remember anyone hating them until the plinkett videos. Jar Jar was really the only thing people didn't like and the Darth Vader NO scene.

The Room is also quotable. Doesn't mean it was ever good. It's just so bafflingly bad and retarded that it became memorable for how bad it was.

I always liked them but the truth is that they were heavily criticized from day one. When episode one came out there was no movie like it, it was totally revolutionary from a visual point of view. The bonus material on the dvds was absolutely stellar.

>>181962124
Oh, Niles!

all I remember is star wars fans saying they had gone to the cinema 10-15 times trying to convince themselves to like the first one

>>181964334
>I literally don't remember anyone hating them until the plinkett videos
Sure but that doesn't mean they weren't hated by hardcore OT fans long before plinkett. Blaming those shitty youtube vids for people disliking the prequels on the internet is fucking retarded you god damn sperg.

>>181964315
I don't think it's that they're unthinking robots. It's that they just don't care. Most people don't care enough about Star Wars or even movies in general beyond occasional, disposable entertainment. Even people that loathed the prequels moved on with their lives by August of 2005. They had ball games to go to, birthday parties to schedule, and other movies to watch. This is what's actually driving a lot of the newfound "appreciation" of the prequels. Only the enthusiasts are left to care.

I liked Jar Jar. He was funny. Plus the light saber fights were sick. I was 7 and didn't even realize that adults didn't like it. I also thought that the robots were awesome. I liked it more than I liked 2.

>>181957050
I loved through it kiddo.

>>181963224
Kids thought he was funny. We see this at screening interviews at the time.
This is a bad hill to die on, as opposed to being adult and not finding him funny.

Literally everyone my age was obsessed with them. Never heard anyone complain at all. Not about cgi, not about jarjar or anything else. It was just cool and inspiring and sold loaads of merch.
Then again, I was like 7.
