Which Star Wars prequel should I watch in full?

[MartyMcFly]

You said you don't get the reference and then clearly get the reference

Episode 4 works as a stand-alone film there's no cliffhanger ending. Like with empire or even this newest one

Exactly lol. The empire is defeated, Vader is adrift in space, and the Rebels win. Every major conflict set up in that movie is paid off at the end. Roll credits

 

[-DMP-]

Even as a stand alone, ANH is just a dikk tease of a film. Luke doesn't face vader, doesn't find his true potential/destiny, a lot of stuff at play isn't expounded upon. Did luke even wield the light saber in this film (other than training)?

and the acting is just kinda from luke atleast, obi wan got killed and I wasn't even sure he died, I thought he pull instant transmission or something with how succinct it was. Luke was just like (if I remember correctly)

Vader just casually walks off, doesn't tell me if he's really dead or part of the force or running around naked in space

Luke's finds his aunt and uncle DEAD, (like he see's the bodies and all) and hes just like "On second thought, imma roll with you bruh"

Atleast Anakin fake cried when he had to leave mom dukes

I'll admit, its just different having seen the prequels beforehand and knowing the general plot of the entire OT. but I honestly thought a lot of the stuff that I viewed in ESB would happen in ANH (before I watched the movies).

ANH, imo, just suffered a lot of what I saw in TPM (Aside from the insufferable Jar Jar, who greenlit him?), not enough Darth Maul/Vader and not enough semi-Jedi Anakin/Luke.

But atleast TPM had Qui Gon and Obi Won to pick up the jedi slack. Old man Obi One and done did not cut it for me.

Like, if ANH was really supposed to be "one and done" (yea right) why don't the two face off in a real fight? Luke is barely developed at all, except for the last dog fight.

TL;DR

-Oh we have these cool powers (but luke doesn't use any)

-Oh and you have this cool weapon (but luke doesn't use it)

-Oh and dude, your dad was a total bad ass who Vader killed, you should totally get revenge( Luke totally DOES NOT kill vader, or really attempt to, prolly because he has no jedi training )

-Oh but first, im totally going to train you to be an awesome jedi, (not only does he NOT train luke for real, he just fukking disappears. I guess the force called an audible, huh? )

-Oh shyt luke, You defeated the empire! (except theres this really bad Emperor guy whose still alive, you might have heard of him? )

Well that's what I'm saying. You're looking at it through the eyes of knowing empire exists and everything after it. I'm looking at it assuming I don't know any of that. Because in 77 they didn't know any of that was going to exist after it. That's before every movie needed to have a sequel so on its own it's perfectly self contained.

You don't remember correctly haha

There was no grand design of sequels or huge success, which is why Lucas was able to secure the rights to merchandising and to any possible sequels. That's why 20th Centrury Fox still has the rights to A New Hope

I'm saying...it's in every documentary on the series. Every storyline set up in that movie is paid off. There are avenues the series could go which is why Empire exists but there was no grand plan in the mind of the studio.

Like a few others have said, Episode 3. The final battle may make you laugh.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

All of them are worth watching. But Epiosde 3 is arguably the "Star Wars" movie period.

Timeout...are you saying its arguably, the best of the 7 or the star wars movie of those 3?

I'm saying it's arguably the best out of the first 6 movies.

i feel like you'd be the only one making that argument.

exchanges like and the classy reply are why Marty mcfly is POTY

 

[-DMP-]

So if every thing paid off, why is Vader still alive(he's not shown to be killed)? Why is the emperor still doing his thing with the senate(he's not shown to be killed)? Why is luke not a Jedi(he's more of a great pilot than a jedi).

You cant say the movie paid off EVERYTHING when the guy that "killed" the protags dad is still alive, his boss is still alive and Luke doesn't even become what he sat out to be.

It's like if goku didn't become ssj and defeat frieza.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

So stupid.

I can't get past the massive videogame esque sets that have two humans and a world of fake shyt on some xmen dangerroom status.

Because in the first movie the goal isn't to defeat Vader it's to defeat the empire and Vader isn't truly the true big bad in that first movie. Tarkin is. Vader is his bytch for the whole flick and follows him and does what he says when he says to do it. So for all you know, Tarkin is Goldfinger and Vader is oddjob

The mission was to defeat the empire and destroy the Death Star. Both things were accomplished

The videogame esque fighting sets started with Empire, they literally had dudes fighting over a seemingly bottomless pit, which then became the standard and was re-used in Jedi, Menace and TFA

"waits for somebody to try and justify why Luke/Vader were fighting where they were fighting"

that has nothing to do with it. it was a physical set. it looks like it is shot on location.

the prequel fights look like characters in front of a green screen, which is what it was.

Menace fight was mostly real sets, so was Clones. Palpatine vs Mace was also on set. Did you watch the documentaries? You can see them standing/fighting there.

Start of Sith was mostly a set except for the spacefight.

The only fight that was mostly CGI was Obi-Wan vs Anakin, but they were always going to end up on a lavaplanet since that was the story from way back - don't see how they could get away with that.

Spoiler

Those damn prequels
