@bobby esteban - Your conspiracy is to suggest I'm singling out the latest movies purely because Disney made them... which firstly, isn't the case, and you ask why the prequels bored me at the same time (which they didn't) - but then you ask why it's me who brought it up... when you it was you that brought all that up.
I have no idea what you're going on about now, and I'm not sure you do either.
I'm not here to explain everything in Star Wars, purely to say what I think about them and yes, as I have already said, the prequels had their problems, which I have never ignored, but I can also very clearly see that those are in no where near the same league as the massive death-star sized holes in the plots of the sequels.
What's wrong with someone having that opinion?
I can accept where the problems are - why can't you accept that the sequels have some pretty big problems too?
People are talking about the prequels and their problems and others are mentioning the sequels to put them into context - that's a very fair point - you gotta put t all into context. People wouldn't even notice if the original trilogy wasn't such a big deal, and then we all compare things back to those.
So - to me, the "in-universe laws" say that lightspeed works in a certain way. Han explains a rough guide about having to navigate properly before you jump into this sorta hyperspace dimension that enables you to go faster than light... That rule isn't "broken" anywhere else in any books, games or other spin off media etc... until the Last Jedi, in which we suddenly see that those rules don't matter any more because a director wants to have a cool visual on screen.
We learn about the force through al the previous movies and what it enables people to do. We get the clear limits on what it can do and can't do, and are told that Vader is the most powerful ever. Now we are given the latest movies and told that jedi can just fly, transfer matter over lightyears, and I suspect, click their fingers and explode planets whenever they feel like it. There's no limits to it any more - it broke the previous rules as laid down by the plot of every other movie in the franchise.
So - it is widely accepted here are some boring parts to the original trilogy. It depends you you talk to as to whether they liked those or not. I quite liked a lot of the plot going on there. The holes you mention weren't things that killed the rest of the universe. People have argued about whether Anakin did bring balance or not. He brought down the jedi.. and by the end of return of the jedi - he also brought down the sith too. So that's a balance right there. You might not like the balance, but there is one. It also didn't break anything that was said before. There was a rough ancient prophecy mentioned by the jedi that they weren't sure of the interpretation over.
So, again - with the prequels, I think the problems are over the actual story and whether people liked what unfolded. Nothing really contradicted any pig points about how the universe works, which had been laid down by previous movies - this is a completely different situation with the sequels, which have a LOT of previously established rules just broken. and contradicted.
It's the equivalent of the latest fast and furious movie suddenly been set in space and all the characters being time travellers, as if they always had been, and they can now turn into power rangers and bring each other back to life.

Baron Thundercunt

@MuaT Yes but sometimes too little is just too little. Darth Vader's dialogue and the importance of his character makes up for his relative lack of screen time and it does (as you say) enhance it because it makes him feel more menacing.

However, Darth Maul literally doesn't speak, he is barely important or significant at all in the movie until the end right before he dies. If he'd lived into the next movies they could've built up to a later confrontation with Obi-Wan and him and really fleshed out his character whilst giving him that same potency that Obi-Wan dying for Luke had.

Why they didn't do that when they were making allusions to the original plot anyway is beyond me. There's a new sith in every movie in the prequels and all of them, on that trend, are like self-contained non-stories that keep stopping and starting and killing off plot lines before they develop and taking away all suspense and investment whilst littering boring politics throughout.

The politics are interesting and they could've been made much more so, again, in this case less would be more though. We were shown far too much and too much screen time on that.

Basically it was just a failure of the execution and understanding of the art probably because George had a greater role in direction and he's not good at that type of thing and it showed painfully. All aspects of building a story and a series of films were worse than the original trilogy from pacing and plot to characterisation and writing.

Maul is a great example and the Clone Wars show displayed exactly what i'm talking about, fleshing Maul out and making him into a fan-beloved character.

Had they given Maul more lines and been more efficient with his time on screen, perhaps giving him the death of Qui-Gon earlier in the movie, mid-way or so, then even inside that same movie they could've built up these things for the end confrontation but they didn't.

They're just poorly directed movies, that's basically what it is. We don't know Maul's motivation beyond like 1 line where he goes "mwuhahaha I am a generic evil person and have generic evil plans and I serve the emperor" and then he does some flips and has a spinny double-ended-dildo lightsaber.

The double-bladed sabre was cool, his spinny acrobatics and aesthetic was cool, but it's all superficial. No dialogue, almost literally none, no characterisation beyond aesthetic impression and superficial things and he's killed off right after he gains significance through his actions.

To compare Maul and Vader and say "less is more" whilst completely disregarding all of these other aspects is very short sighted.

Maul had so much potential and we didn't need Count Doku, and if we did then maybe in some other capacity, but everything in the prequels was handled in a cack-handed fumbling way by Lucas. I'm saying this as a kid who grew up with them and loved them too, and only came to realise how objectively awful they are upon re-watching as an adult.

I still like Revenge of the Sith, I think that film is tolerable, and parts of the fighting in Clone Wars and some other select scenes but that too is mostly boring and all over the place, meanwhile the Phantom Menace is just a dumpster fire. Really no other way to say it, and Maul is a perfect embodiment of why.

A potentially good idea, with some cool superficial aspects ruined by bad creative decisions and a man indulging his directorial role for ego without being mature enough to admit he needed help and should have delegated and listened to others.

@Marwood If you're going to try to quote me, please do so with context so you don't just reply to what you imagined I said. This is what I wrote; "...it certainly has some awful, clunky moments (poor dialogue, dodgy acting, peculiar accents)". Note the key and careful wording of *some*.

And anyone who suggests it doesn't have some goofy moments is kidding themselves, or has exceptionally low standards - or just finds genuine pleasure in pulp (which is perfectly reasonable).

And it's not revisionism. It's just a casting off of nostalgia goggles. There are no flawless films (well, some by Kurosawa might qualify... ), but for so long the SW originals were held up as being almost untouchable and beyond criticism. They are not. They are just films, like any other. Incredibly iconic ones, sure, and hugely loved, but still just films.

Its scale of "cultural phenomena" has no intrinsic reflection on quality, btw. Disney paid that much for SW even taking into account the lobotomised trash of the prequels, after all...

For people wondering years from now:
As a young man in the 1970s, Liam Neeson had a "very dear friend" who was "brutally raped" by a black person.

After that he "...went up and down areas with a cosh(stick or pipe), hoping...some ‘black bastard’ would come out of a pub and have a go at me about something... So that I could … kill him.”

Later in the same interview he said
"If she had said an Irish, Scot, or a Brit, or a Lithuanian – I know I would have felt the same way. I was trying to show honour and stand up for my dear friend in this terrible medieval fashion … It shocked me when I came down … Luckily, no violence occurred, thanks be to God.”

If the amount of lines Jar Jar and Darth Maul had in Phantom Menace were swapped...that would've been great.

HΣΛRTS ϴF SPΛCΣ

How about they literally swap lines? THAT would be entertaining.

hainsay

I think it would have been nice if he barely spoke just like how it actually went, and then he started mocking Obi Wan at the end. Nothing about the dark side of the force and how it was more powerful and all that, just calling him a failure, and insulting the Jedi through him. Something uncaring about Qui-Gon, to really make us hate him.

Jack Theflash

Movie wouldve still sucked

kyllerbuzcut

Jar Jar was supposed to turn out to be a Sith Lord, deliberately acting like an idiot.
They had to change that whole plot line after the complaints about the character.
That would have actually recovered his character if they the original plans.

He's so spot-on and honest, I love that someone is being candid about Lucas and how the guy just CANNOT direct actors. Every film he actually "directs," his actors are totally lost, just 'saying' lines because of the horrible direction - "Um, just bigger, louder," or random, generic direction. Watch the making of Attack of the Clones where he just keep repeating the same direction and the actors kinda shrug their shoulders. I'm glad someone finally put their name to it and was honest, publicly.

@Aubs i dont need some asshole telling me why my opinion is wrong or dumb

@Aubs look pal do you a problem with me liking them?!

Aubs

@Will Brock It didn't really expand on the force, it defied a lot of signature canon rules to the force itself. My opinion is that the characters lacked significant development and the best character, Finn, lacked a proper arc, alike Poe. Rose was boring as well as Rey.

Will Brock

@Aubs i like the new characters especially rey, kylo and poe. I like how the original 3 were brought back. (Yes i wish luke and han had a scene together) I like how it expanded on the force. But mostly I think i really liked the new characters most

His description of the lead up to the Phantom Menace sounds like the opposite of what happened before a New Hope. Everyone thought the Phantom Menace was going to be incredible, and then came out like crap, whereas the people working on a New Hope thought they were making SciFi garbage (based on the costumes and the sets), but it turned out to be a cultural cornerstone.

@fagbastard Yes! And then the refusal of that request to defer the motion, followed by the dramatic move for a vote of no confidence, and the subsequent nomination of three candidates to stand for election as his replacement.

Apparently there was also a lightsaber fight involved in this, plus some annoying kid blowing up a meaningless spaceship shaped like an off-button from that time period. Didn't pay attention to that part.

bobby esteban

@kyllerbuzcut I just told you what my problem was, can you not read? Again here you are with your vague answers. For someone that claims that the laws of nature within the star wars universe are important to them, you seem not to know a lot about it. You don't have to write me a thesis on how light speed in star wars work, I just asked to you to give me a scene from the movies that establishes and cements light speed travel. The fact that you can't even do that just proves my point that you are not as knowledgeable about it as you think you are and therefore shouldn't make criticisms based upon it. The star wars franchise has never been strict on who could use the force or the time it takes to learn it. Luke Skywalker utilized the force to destroy the deathstar, supposedly tell most powerful structure in the universe , after only a few days of training with the it. If that doesn't bother you, then how they used the force in the new films shouldn't irk you either.

kyllerbuzcut

@bobby esteban I have no idea what your problem is. Do you even know?
A humorous comment just to say TPM still wasn't as bad as some other movies on the same franchise has turned into a days long debate.
I gave by trainee and also have you examples. I accepted the points you made about the prequels, which I agree with some of, and taking everything into account, the sequel trilogy is still not as good and has many more plot holes and inconsistencies.
The prequels had a clear shared direction, the sequels were a mess.
In the last Jedi alone it'd probably take a week to go through everything that didn't work, let alone how it broke precisely established in universe rules (for example, how light speed works. They even had to a lines into the next movie to say that was a "one in a million thing that should never have worked" and why they can't have do it again. Then there's Jedi powers. There were previously years of training required to do simple things, now people can just do some amazing things, and at that, that can do anything that wasn't because "magic" or something.)
I haven't even mentioned may Poppins yet.

So to sum it up, which is what I did originally, ( in the hope of avoiding protracted trolling by people who just want more and more proof etc, ) the simple way to say it all is that even if stone find a movie a bit boring, of it at least newness sense that wouldn't think it was as bad as a movie that contradicts itself all over the place.

bobby esteban

@kyllerbuzcut aren't you singling it out though? Why bring up the Disney trilogy when the discussion was about the political plot line in phantom menace?
I have no problem, with you not liking the Disney films; personally I thought they were OK. Just about what you would expect from a star wars film. My issue with your statement lies with your reasoning on why you think the new trilogy was bad. You claim to hold high importance to a film adhering to established laws within the universe and yet you don't seem to have a clear idea of what those rules are. I asked you to give me examples of rules established within the previous films that were broken by the new ones and all you could give me are your own vague interpretations of the rules. You criticized the new trilogy for plot holes within the story and yet when challenged with the fact that anakins role as the chosen one was never fully fleshed out in the prequels you yourself admitted that the story was one of the main issues of the prequels. How can I not think that your criticisms are not biased when you can't even defend your own criticisms. You claim think I'm criticizing you for your honesty? No my friend, I just wanted to know if you really believe what youre saying.

Peter Serafinowicz is one of the most underrated comic actors of our time. His own sketch show was absolutely brilliant. I love how his commentary on The Phantom Menace is mostly how the jokes don't land. Of all the discussion of the film, I've never heard anyone mention how the comedy just never works. Comedy that doesn't work tends to feel insulting.

What happened to Lucas is the same as what happens to many leaders, business owners, and creative types when they become big and surrounded by sycophants and ass kissers - they lose all ability to judge, or have judged, the worth of their own ideas. They become adverse to any and all criticism and incapable of knowing shit when they see it.
Luckily for us, a few people had the balls to stand up to Lucas when he wanted to include a child Han Solo in Episode 3.

There are movies that aren't great that I've grown to enjoy in a nostalgic way and because of the memories associated with them. Plus I end up picking out things I like about the films and eventually I grow to like the films. I watch Phantom Menace almost every Summer. (I watched it in theater with my brother right after graduation from high school.) Batman Forever and Judge Dredd are two other films I watch every summer. I disliked them when they were new but now they're guilty pleasures/nostalgia trips.

In retrospect though clunky and goofy in parts, we can all agree revenge of the Sith is incredible. On top of this - at least the prequels did something different, flipping the dynamic of the Sith being the minor power and the Jedi being the authority, with the three new sequels it really is just ————— flat as hell.

Serafinowicz's memory of the trailer and 30-second shorts is exactly mine. I only went to two viewings of the film and haven't bothered since. So if I watch the promo reels I can see The Phantom Menace from 35,000 feet, if you will — this magnificent impression of a space opera that hasn't yet been spoiled by the actual movie.

To be honest I've just always seen the original trilogy as the better set of films, I liked the prequels when they came out and I found the Plinket reviews funny, but I've never had any hate for the prequels they're just Star Wars

Funny Ian who plays the emperor says he has absolutely no direction for his character either. George got so lucky having actors that cared about their roles because the originals would be a pile of shit if it was all down to him.

Such a nice chap. Ubiquitous in is talent and retains his "Bloke down the pub" personality. Phantom Menace I think has gotten better with age. It was a decent film in retrospective. decent, not amazing. I can watch it if it's on TV and enjoy it. 2 and 3 oh boy.

It's a rare privilege to have been part of the prequel trilogy and not having being shit in them. Serafinowicz , McGregor Neeson and a small group of others have that honor.

In fairness to Dave Prowse he wasn't in the suit when Darth Vadar ran, as Darth Vadar doesn't run and he wasn't in the suit when he fought, in the same way Alec Guinness wasn't in Obi Wan's costume when he fought as that was done by stunt men.

Саша Черняк

Qui-Gon. He is a wise Jedi who knows council isn't always right, and follows only will of the Force, prefers to solve problems diplomatically and cares about each life form.
Obi-Wan - young brave man, fanatic of Jedi council, respects his master, but doesn't always agree with him, has some sence of humour.
Amidala - very patriotic girl, trying to protect her people, very kind and impactful, uses any help she can find, a litte bit naive.
Anakin - ambitious talented slave boy, wants to be powerful, free slaves, very loves his mom.
Palpatine - clever manipulator, politician using any resourses to get power.
Darth Maul - apprentice of Dark Lord, raised killing machine, full of hatred to Jedi, wants revenge for defeated Sith.
Jar Jar - clumsy teen, who is very royal to man who saved him, tries his best to help.
Trade Federation - greedy and cowardly businessmen, who want as much resources as possible, work for dark Lord.

@The Zigzagman Fair play to him for admitting to that, something he could've easily never mentioned for the rest of his life. It isn't easy to admit you were once, however briefly, a shit person. More people than we'd like to admit have such moments in their past - perhaps a majority of people, for all I know.

Man its pretty awkward for me hearing Peter talk about Jar Jar. The guy who played it loved the character, was really proud of his work and was literally on the brink of killing himself because of the hatred of the character.

Peter tells the Terrence Stamp story from a "how bizarre is George Lucas?" angle, but an alternate interpretation might be that George Lucas believed something along the lines of what is implied in this interview, and decided to keep Stamp away from Portman, and give him the stencil set as a calculated insult.

The prequels are like 3 sexbots. The best looking ones you can imagine. Each one slightly different from the other. On the surface you think "oh boy I can't wait for this." They look fantastic, but they barely move, talk in robotic voices and don't react like a human would. You have to do the work and fill in the blanks yourself.

I credit George Lucas for the original idea, but the true magic of Star Wars was created by dozens of other people. The prequels sucked because Lucas bought into his own hype and strayed from the formula that made Star Wars great.

I was 8 when this movie was in theaters. For some reason I never did her to see it. I was away at summer camp when mg dad took my older brother. I guess he didn't want to see it twice. Anyway when I say the vhs I loved Natalie Portman.
