mindbreaks Gen X despite being at least as good as Return of the Jedi
Mindbreaks Gen X despite being at least as good as Return of the Jedi
None of the other Star Wars movies are as good as Return of the Jedi though
George Lucas ruined muh childhood!
They still believe this.
another star wars thread
kill yourself disney shill
Return of the Jedi isn't a good film though, besides the music.
This is actually good.
It was a shit movie, you are just too retarded to see it
way too much CGI
midichlorians
Qui Gon a worthless character
convoluted plot
Jar Jar annoying
Return of the Jedi isn't a good film though
You're right, it's a great one
Return of the Jedi isn't a good film though, besides the music.
Ok retard
Jabba reveal was great and the whole Han breakout was good
2nd Death Star space battle still the best space battle put to the film
throne room scene pure kino
Remember when millennials tried desperately to convince themselves TLJ was good? (and accidently radicalised whitey in the process)
At least Gen X were honest. ROTJ sucks anyway.
People had standards back then. The prequels are shit movies and we called shit, shit. Today even absolute garbage like The Last Jedi has 40% of the Star Wars fanbase simping for it. Everyone born after 1985 has been a slave to corporate worship.
>Qui Gon a worthless character
wot
he's literally the main character
>convoluted plot
the prequels all have a relatively "convoluted" plot insofar as a lot of the actual mechanics of the story are unnecessarily overwrought but the movies work so well on just a visual and vibe-based level that you always know intuitively what's going on.
Ok sure so the precise mechanics of how Sheev's whole plot unfolds over the course of three movies are insanely convoluted, but like you fundamentally get what's going on anyway. You know that he's creating a fake conflict to get infinite power and take over the galaxy.
he's literally the main character
The protagonists of all six films are the droids. You're with them from the beginning to the end, everything is from their point of view, etc etc.
No idea what the fuck those Plinkett videos were talking about here.
he's literally the main character
But he was worthless. This should have just been Obi Wan. Qui Gons life and death meant nothing. Even Anakin never mentions him again.

Exactly

They don't. The CGI looks like fucking garbage and the "vibe" is all over the place. 50s diner? I'll try spinning that's a good trick?
but like you fundamentally get what's going on anyway.
This kind of hand waving is fucking pathetic.
You know that he's creating a fake conflict to get infinite power and take over the galaxy.
It only worked because for some reason all of the Jedi and every Senator was a fucking retard.
But he was worthless
Qui Gon was to Obi Wan what Obi Wan is to Anakin, a kind of father/ big brother figure. Only Qui Gon was a lot more in-tune with the force and good at trusting his instincts (as they always turn out to be right). Qui Gon dying, among other things, sets up Anakin's unorthodox training by Obi Wan, who was still a padawan when he met Anakin.
Even Anakin never mentions him again.
He's more personally relevant for Obi Wan, who does mention him again in RotS
The CGI looks like fucking garbage and the "vibe" is all over the place. 50s diner? I'll try spinning that's a good trick?
That's not what I mean, dumbass. I mean you can intuit the plot of the movie through the visuals. All the bad guys are old and ugly, or they're evil robots, or they're darth maul and they literally look like fucking Satan. And then the Jedi are just people. The Phase I clones look like heroic knights when they're saving the Jedi on Geonosis, then they morph into the pseudo-stormtrooper helmets in RotS, meaning that when they turn evil, they also look suitably evil.
So yes, Palpatine's whole plot is convoluted. How did he know that X would do Y, and that Y would lead to Z, and not A? Or B?
It doesn't fucking matter. He's le evil schemey man and all of his schemes bear fruit until vader flips and throws him down a mineshaft.
Qui Gon was to Obi Wan what Obi Wan is to Anakin, a kind of father/ big brother figure.
We barely see any of that. Luke/Obi Wan had a much better relationship. If Qui Gon became a force ghost like Obi Wan did in ESB and ROTJ it would have made sense. Instead he was a one and done character that was forgotten.
Only Qui Gon was a lot more in-tune with the force and good at trusting his instincts (as they always turn out to be right).
They were right? Obi Wan said that the "boy is dangerous, everyone can sense that" and Qui Gon blew him off. What are you talking about?
He's more personally relevant for Obi Wan, who does mention him again in RotS
Only because Yoda brought him up in the final 2 minutes you retard.
I mean
I should stop reading right here.
It doesn't fucking matter.
Muh movies don't have to make sense. kys retard.
A good % of the OT sÅybase can't accept anything else
Muh movies don't have to make sense
they do make sense. The dialog crumbles under some scrutiny, but the actual movies themselves always make sense, and their plots are extremely basic. So basic that they can be entirely reduced to which side looks more attractive (it's the good guys).
they do make sense.
They don't. Shit just happens and retards like you say "who cares".
They don't.
uh huh. So when you watched RotS in the theater and saw the scene where Obi Wan fights General Grievous, did you struggle to figure out who the good guy was supposed to be? Were you thinking
Oh boy, I sure hope the noble, heroic Grievous prevails over the dastardly Ewan McGregor
?
o when you watched RotS in the theater and saw the scene where Obi Wan fights General Grievous, did you struggle to figure out who the good guy was supposed to be? Were you thinking
Way to break it down like that you retard. This isn't about who is good or who is bad, that's always been obvious. It's about the plot, character motivations, actions, etc, not making any sense.
kys dumb dumb
DUDE LIKE NO CAP BRUH TEH PREQUELS FINNA BE SHI-*ACKS HIMSELF DUE TO TRANNY DYSMORPHIA*
It's about the plot, character motivations, actions, etc, not making any sense.
Anakin is horny for Natalie Portman. Sheev is horny for power. The Jedi have lost their way and become incompetent.
ERRRM BUT UH WOULDN'T IT MAKE MORE SENSE FOR SHEEV TO NOT WANT QUEEN AMIDALA TO SIGN THE TREATY TO LEGALIZE THE INVASION BECAUSE ERM IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT-
it doesn't fucking matter.
>DUDE LIKE NO CAP BRUH TEH PREQUELS FINNA BE SHI-*ACKS HIMSELF DUE TO TRANNY DYSMORPHIA*
Zoomers are the trannies saying "finna" that LOVE the prequels.
Anakin is horny for Natalie Portman. Sheev is horny for power. The Jedi have lost their way and become incompetent.
You are treating this like a paint by numbers book. It's a movie. There has to be plots and actions that make sense.
Palps: "If you join me Anakin the Sith can cheat death"
Anakin: "Ok, so if I join you I can save Padme from dying"
(joins Palps)
Palps: "Uh, ok we will figure out that whole cheating death thing later"
Anakin should have sliced him open right there. It was so fucking dumb. And there are dozens of other examples like this in the PT. Where you just shake your head and hope the movie ends soon.
it doesn't fucking matter.
It does. Plots and plot points matter. You would shit in a bag if said "Episode 1" on the side.
GEORGE LUCAS LITERALLY RAPED MY CHILDHOOD!
You would shit
You would love shit in a bag
Not him, I love the PT but that's not true at all for TPM. Come on, now.
The whole thing starts out being from the POV of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. We don't meet R2 until they escape Naboo, nor 3PO until Anakin introduces him.
Even in Clone and Revenge it's more from the viewpoint of Anakin and Obi-Wan and the droids have barely any screentime.
GEORGE LUCAS LITERALLY RAPED MY CHILDHOOD!
No, his prequel trilogy just sucked. No need for dramatics.
obviously good writing is better than sloppy, rushed writing, and the writing in the sequels is not good. But you're pretending like it's nonsensical when the movies are so clear-cut and basic that children can watch and understand them purely by just LOOKING AT THE FUCKING CHARACTERS
LIKE HOLY SHIT KATHLEEN KENNEDY LITERALLY GENOCIDED MY CHILDHOOD!
It went full retard with 90s kid movie tropes.
and the writing in the sequels
prequels*
the sequels are retarded as well, of course. Just in a very different way.
But you're pretending like it's nonsensical
I said plots and plot points and characters actions matter. And if you end the movie and start asking yourself "why did he do that or didn't do that" and the answer is only "because if he did the movie wouldn't happen" then the movie has failed.
hat children can watch and understand them purely by just LOOKING AT THE FUCKING CHARACTERS
This is true of 100% of movies aimed at kids, it's not some accomplishment.
HAR HAR I SAID RETARDED THING AND I TROLLED YOUUUU!
give it a rest, retard.
rotj is great
I dont know how you can possibly think this. Have you not seen it since you were a child?
awesome triple battle sequence… with ewoks
Fucking ewoks dude. Han breakout made little sense. The film was painfully slow compared to previous. There was clearly some retconning going on. Also did I mention the fucking ewoks?
goose-stepper still mindbroken by the CHADwoks
TLJ at 40%
Surely that number has gone way down now that the dust has settled
Fucking ewoks dude. Han breakout made little sense. The film was painfully slow compared to previous. There was clearly some retconning going on. Also did I mention the fucking ewoks?
There's a reason why I didn't mention them because they fucking suck. The movie is not great. It's good, has some great scenes, but overall it's a big step down from the first 2 films.
it was bullshit and everyone knows it
qui gon is sweet he was my favorite as a kid
Just dropped in to point out you guys have to frame every prequel thread as the movies not being bad and you're still seething about friend simulator videos that came out 16 years ago. If the movies were actually good you would have moved on by now and the eceleb videos wouldn't have got so much traction that they still live rent-free after more than a decade and a half.
Cry, seethe, ignore the fact you feel the need to continuously defend them instead of enjoying them. Just remember that you're low IQ for taking Star Wars this seriously in the first place.
Do with this information what you will.
1. Democratically elected monarch.
This was solely done because Lucas wanted Leia to be a real princess and was reaching for surface level themes about democracy. It's retarded.
2. She's a teenager.
This was only done because Lucas had to restrict the age gap between Padme and Anakin. It's retarded.
3. Elected leader of an entire planet but no one recognizes her.
Lucas did this because his audience is stupid and won't notice it. He wanted a cliched plot twist that depends on the fact the audience are morons.
inb4: elected monarchs existed
They weren't children.
inb4: there were child rulers
They weren't elected and had regents.
inb4: she had a body double
She was supposedly elected head of an entire planet.
Why are prequeltards like this?
FPBP
i long for a world where these videos were forgotten and i could just discuss Star Wars online like it was still the 2000s. i don't care if i'm a manchild: the rest of YouTube is perfectly ignorable.
b-but a fictional character in a British sitcom said the film was bad!!!
says nobody ever.
It happens all the time. Savages don't have the same scruples and ethics as the superpowers, and that's why they won.
This is actually good.
No it isn't.
scruples and ethics
They crushed an atat logs, fuck off.
