Compared to thew trilogy, the prequels ain't lookin too bad
There’s no defending TLJ, but Force Awakens was not a bad film. It tells a coherent story, has some potentially interesting characters, has some open story plots at the end that can go in several compelling directions, uses practical effects instead of CGI a decent amount, has an interesting and previously unexplored premise with a stormtrooper defecting, does a solid job paying respect to past characters, and it’s third act sets up a sequel very well.
The prequels on the other hand suffer from a mountain of problems. They have issues like no main protagonist in the phantom menace, no main villain in it either, no explained motivation or goal for the puppet villains set up by the emperor, the WOAT love story in film history in clones, awful dialogue, no sense of the heroes ever being in real danger (in one documentary George even refers to the battle droids as useless), way over reliant on special effects such as green screen, shoving so much random shyt in the films just to make into kids toys, borrowing imagery from so many random things (part 3 of plinkett’s episode 2 review really touches on this), horribly miscast actors, threw in grievous with no introduction or explanation and then killed him off like he’s no big deal while he’s clearly meant to feel like a big deal, characters who act in manners contradictory to how they should act for the plot to make sense, constant lapses in logic and common sense, lazy camera work in sith, and then there’s Jar Jar Binks. Really the only redeeming qualities the prequels have are the podrace, the scores John Williams put together (those really don’t get the credit they should. Personally I think he did some of his best work on those), palpatine in the second and third act of sith, and the fight choreography which I found to be really pleasing to watch. Even if the characters suck, a great fight sequence can at least be enjoyable to watch.
This shyts all over the current sequels.....granted Last Jedi didn't have that many lightsabers battles when I think about it
There was no duel at all in last Jedi
and there appears to be 14 of her
what is going on?
Good luck for the last hour and a half breh
and why that fortress have a big a$$ hole in it covered by rocks anyway?
