when the audience doesn't get star wars

- The Star Wars prequels have had the short end of the stick for years. Today, I'm here to tell that they're not only quite good, but they are secretly brilliant. Don't believe me? Watch.
Everytime I rewatch The Revenge of the Sith it hits me so hard because I feel for Anakin and I could see so many moments where if things played out a little differently he could have dodged his fate, but He can't change what's going to happen and it feels perfectly in his character to make the mistakes he did.
this. it's a "if only" story. if only someone was aware of Palpatine's manipulations with Anakin. if only the jedi council was less set in their ways. if only someone else had reached out a helping hand. if only Anakin had more people he could trust/trusted him. if only obi-wan wasn't so far up his own ass and looked at what was right in front of his face. if only he and Anakin were actually friends (they weren't, and I'm ready to debate chapter and verse anyone who says they were, obi-wan might have THOUGHT they were the best of friends but anakin's feelings toward him were VERY different) who could honestly confide in each other.... just one of these factors being different could have changed so much
that what makes Anakin fall to dark side to tragic. Also form his point of view he felt he had no choice. How ever he only realized what the dark side is truly about when he in his suit and its too late. One can not use the dark side for end justify the means unless you ends are truly evil. Because the dark side will take you father than you plan to go and keep you longer than planed to stay.
I love the Prequels a lot. They're not perfect, but they mean so much to me.
For those of us who grew up on them, they’re something else.
I feel you. I still rewatch them every 2 years on average ❤
Same. I grew up with the OT, but I love the PT, flaws and all!
I've watched the trilogy twice so far, I really enjoyed it.
I grew up with the OT, and although it's still my favorite trilogy, I see the PT as almost as good as the OT.
I never had a problem with the sand dialogue. It was a reflection of Anakins resentment for where he came from, his past and his early life.
Exactly. So many overlooked that
@@an-animal-loverand it’s so obvious too, shows the level of depth which the average viewer perceives
Plus so many people leave out the context. They make it sound like Anakin says it out of nowhere, when in reality it was just a natural progression of the conversation they were already having
The issue that scene has is that the kiss is a bit rushed. Not the dialogue. Besides the landscape is gorgeous.
It's also awkward on purpose because Anakin is crushing so hard on Padme and trying to find any excuse to keep talking with her, but he's socially stunted from being a slave and then a Jedi.
Episode 3 is the best Star Wars film to date. Hayden was a phenomenal Anakin and Vader. So grateful he had the courage to take that role, the most legendary villain in film history, and nailed it. 💯
He's also back for Ahsoka now. I'm very excited about that. I already liked the show, but it just got ten times better in my opinion (yeah, yeah I probably should have expected he'd be back)
Episode 3 is my favorite as well. Definitely not digging Ashoka though. The cinematography is excellent in some episodes, but I feel like the heroes are unlikeable and I’m almost rooting for the bad guys.
No he wasn't. He came across as awkward, whiny, erratic and spoilt the evolution of Anakin to Vader. Nostalgia glasses are so strong!
The movie is a freaking masterpiece
It's easily the most overrated SW movie. Incredibly overrated due to nostlagia.
I have met plenty of SW "fans" who don't actually understand SW, including the OT. Also, this video is excellent and deserves a few million views.
gatekeeping fandom is crazy 😭
When people complain that Star Wars characters don't sound like normal people. What they really mean is that they don't sound like contemporary Americans. The big influence of Kurosawa films was George Lucas's experience with the films. He described how he was watching these movies and he doesn't understand all the Japanese cultural context on display, but he understands they have this whole other world they are living with it's own history and customs. Despite the cultural barrier he could still relate to the story and characters on a human level and still enjoy it. This is a big part of what he tried to accomplish with Star Wars. If you saw Episode 4 before the prequels and heard Luke mention the Clone Wars, you may have no idea what the Clone Wars are, but you can certainly believe Luke does and that it is an integral part of the history of that Galaxy Far Far Away. A big part of why he did this is that by giving Star Wars an alien culture with it's own history, customs and context the story could have appeal to any culture at any time because you're more focused on enjoying the universal human experience put on display than figuring out the references.
8M IQ comment 💪🏼
I wonder if that had any bearing on the creation of all licensed works sharing a universe (the EU).
As a Star Wars who was first introduced to the Lego Complete Saga game and the prequels, I'm proud that the trilogy is gaining more appreciation, (especially after the sequel trilogy), i never understood the prequel hate, was surprised to see on the internet how hated they were, I never found them to be bad movies, I understand people not liking Jar Jar (I never hated him tho) or Anakin/Padme scenes, but overall they have more good things than bad one, I think I have seen all the Star Wars documentaries and interviews with George Lucas, each time I learned more about history, philosophy and mythology that made me appreciate the saga and Lucas more, this really deserves more views, greetings from Venezuela.
¡Gracias por tus comentarios Jesús! Yo tampoco odié a Jar Jar y al mismo tiempo al aprender más sobre la creación de la saga la he llegado a apreciar como nunca. Saludos. 👋
Honestly I was introduced through everything including most of the Legends EU to that point before the prequels, watched them day &Date in theaters and NEVER heard anything other than Jar-Jar hate bad about them until AFTER the Sequels started releasing... I think it was echo-chamber exclusive for quite some time.
I was pretty young when the prequels started coming out and still in elementary school when it finished and honestly, as a kid, there was no way I wasn’t gonna like it. It had Jedi, lightsabers, spaceships, blasters and the force, all a young boy could ever want or need. One thing I do definitely enjoy as an adult is the political plot, as trade disputes, political corruption and the fall of a grand democracy into an authoritarian empire ruled by a dictator as one of the main impetuses of the film is something that’s beautifully allegorical to events from real world history
Hayden Christensen is Anakin/Vader. I find him unusually compelling to watch. I think Anakin is the immaculately conceived embodiment of the Force, with physically and existentially limitless possibilities, but he's also just a young man.
I actually like the clunky dialogue of "hating sand" we can all think back to some of the cringe inducing things we have said to beautiful young women, when we were in our teens.
It shows that despite Anakin's incredible potential with the force, it doesn't help him with interpersonal relationships.
Contrast this with the absolute master of manipulation in Darth Sidious, and Anakin is completely out of his depth.
I love the theory that Qui-Gon would have been the master to see Anakin through to becoming a man, and a balanced user of the force.
I don't know if I even like Obi-Wan Kenobi, he is pragmatic, neat, organised, and goal focussed, as opposed to people focussed.
Man what a story haha
I always defended the Sand line. While I typically agree that the dialogue between Anakin and Padme was usually awkward unintentionally, I always understood the sand bit to be deliberately so, just because of how unprompted it is. Dude was crushing super mega hard and wanted to start a conversation, but was socially stunted (from being both a slave and a Jedi) and had no idea what he was doing so just kinda grabbed the first thing to come to mind. Of course it was disjointed. Talking to women is awkward for most young men, and Anakin was unfortunately at a disadvantage more than most his age.
I love everything about the Prequels. Always have, and always will. They are George Lucas' purest vision of Star Wars, and incredibly deep movies. Most so-called SW fans don't even understand what SW is actually about. I saw TPM 19 times when it was originally released. I wish they remastered it for UHD with a DNR free transfer. It could look so good. My favourite is AOTC, as it is romantic, thrilling, but not as heartbreaking as ROTS, which destroys me each time I watch it. The Prequels rule! This is a thoughtful and wonderfully put together essay. Great job!
I also love AOTC and your my friend now ;)
Rare to see AoTC lover around SW fandom. I'm really happy to know one here. ❤
I also let pop reviews sway me on the prequels. I still liked them, but accepted that they were "bad." I decided to make my own edits of them and discovered, or rediscovered, an awesome respect for the story and storytelling, and I realized almost all the criticisms were not just unfounded, but factually inaccurate. These are masterpieces.
Unfounded huh? Prove a single criticism Redletter media said about the prequels is wrong.
@@Acrocanthosaurus that's not how this works, you have to prove a single one of their criticisms is right. But, since you're so woefully unaware of how burden of proof works, and it's so monumentally easy to utterly burn down your apparent idols, the RedLetter media reviews are among the worst offenders.
Here's an easy one: they complained about how Anakin put on a child sized helmet in the final battle. He didn't. It was large on him, and children's heads are disproportionately large compared to their bodies. But the helmet was still visibly much larger on his head than the other pilots. RedLetter just makes shit up like that.
Now your turn, give a SINGLE criticism of the prequels that is actually accurate to what actually happens in the film (90% are just factually inaccurate refuted by the actual events in the films.) You won't, but I'm interested in seeing what you dredge up. I've only seen one, ever. Let's see if you know it. You don't. But it will be fun to see you try.
@@SnakeWasRight Actually the burden of proof is... never mind. I've decided to go and rewatch the Plinket review and see if there is anything they say that is wrong. Been awhile since I enjoyed the edgy brilliance. Back in a minute.
It's been a month. LOL@@Acrocanthosaurus
@@Alienadin I didn't find any flaws in their take down of the prequels. Is that what you wanted to hear?
I've always loved the Prequels movies a lot, but for so many years, it seems like everyone around me hated them with a burning passion, so I felt like I was alone in my love for them. But when I asked why they hated them so much, no one could ever give me an answer, it was usually just "because they are bad" which told me nothing. So I could only assume they hated them cuz it was the "cool thing" to do and because others hated them.
So it's actually nice to finally see people show appreciation and love for these movies.
Our time has come. 👌
Always liked them.
Star Wars isn't restricted to looking-like, being paced and filmed like the original movies... the only reason why the original movies have that washed-up oppressive "rebel" vibe, is because that is the particular look, pace and vibe of that time-period in the star wars story in that particular tune and place, not because that is what star wars is supposed to be.
Star Wars doesn't (and shouldn't) begin and end with the pacing, look and vibe of the original trilogy, as if that's all star wars can and will ever be, and the prequels and e.u. proved this.
I only wish disney would understand that so that we could get something new and exciting, like we used to get all the time when George Lucas was in-charge, before "ⲧⲏⲉ ⲱⲏiⲧe sⲒaνⲉⲅς ⲟf ⲙⲓⲥⲕⲉⲩ ⲙⲟυsⲉ" bought it.
@@Alx1744well you can thank all the “Fans” for it. The only reason Disney copied the Original Trilogy, is because so many “fans” demanded it

I do not believe that is the case.
I’ve always loved the prequels and always will.

beautiful comment
Audiences weren’t ready for the prequels.
They will never be ready, because most people just want the same stuff in different packaging over and over again, as they got with the garbage Disney sequels.
I feel like most Star Wars fans don't understand Star Wars.
@@Alienadin can't blame Disney when the gave Rian Johnson creative freedom with the Last Jedi, a film that actually tried to do something different. Then people didn't like that and complained about it and then we got The Rise of Skywalker. Can't have it both ways
The prequels suck dude, the only good thing are the concepts within them.
@@cammongo3525they were tailed to a different audience
Finally someone who speaks my talk. No movie is perfect, but there are a lot of reasons to love the Prequels and how they build up the first trilogy. There is not much I would change about Star Wars. Not even Anakin's cheesy love dialogue in Ep2. To me it makes sense that a teenager who is not allowed to have a relationship doesn't know how to talk to a woman, but feelings get the best of him. Also I loved Yoda kicking ass with a lightsaber. Even if you are strong and the force and wise to the fullest, how could you become a grandmaster training Padawans when you can't even defend yourself? Years before I did not like the politics being part of the movies, but it makes total sense, that a corrupt but genius politician would fit into a war setting and the creation of an Empire.
Thanks to George giving me the Star Wars I love.
I love the prequels, the acting was good, actually, and I unironically liked the dialogue, my only problems with it are Padme's reason to fall in love not being explained and minor details like people doing their hair too fast offscreen
The acting is not good at all lol
@@billthedoritoguy4770 Are you sure you just don't like the characters?
@@martalaatsch8358 yes because I like most of the prequel characters in the Clone wars series. It fixes everything that's wrong with the prequels
@@billthedoritoguy4770 In the Clone Wars Anakin has been knighted and is an adult, in Attack of the Clones he's supposed to be a whiny teenager and he is
@@martalaatsch8358 Padme's reason to fall in love wasnt explained? The movie lays it out pretty obviously, l thought. Sure, Anakin is KINDA a creep in Ep 2, but is not his fault. Its not like he has much experience Mackin on the fly honeys, so to speak. lol Plus he knows what he feels for Padme is Forbidden by the jedi, so of course he would sound a bit awkward at times. But what draws Padme to him and causes her to fall for him is how he's just an avalanche of honesty and emotion, which is something I'm sure she rarely is around as a young Queen. I'm sure ppl are very Regal around her, and tell her what she wants to hear. Anakin does not do that. This is proven when a few times she asks him something and he answers honestly, and she's surprised by it, if not even a little offended by his answer, but hes just being honest. He doesnt know how to lie, and the 1 or 2 times he tries, she's able to read him like a book and he comes clean right away. That can be intoxicating for a young woman, muchless a woman who had been queen since she was a child. In fact, they both had very unusual childhoods and were able to take solace in each other.
"So this is how democracy dies, with thunderous applause" is one of the lines that have lived rent free in my head ever since ROTS came out and frequently comes out of hiding to clock me upside the head again. george might be justly criticized for his dialogue, but damn could he craft some zingers
People always bring up I don't like sans as Anakin being weird, but in the context of the scene it makes total sense as Padme is quite literally talking about her experience growing up and laying on the beach guessing bird names.
It's two people sharing their youth experiences.
Loved the prequels as a kid, and I love them even more now.
I think everyone hating the prequels is more of a representation of soy nerd culture where it's cool to hate everything. The prequel is a perfect tragedy which the common man will not understand because it isn't the pretty "superhero wins in the end" story. It's more complicated which is closer to how life actually is.
Pretty much, I think. I mean, the PT was still a financial mega-hit and merchandise bearing its appearance also sold really well with children. And we can't just point to children not knowing any better, otherwise Disney's sequel trilogy would have been just as successful. And while it had some financial success, the merchandise barely sold because the children weren't all that interested in what Disney was selling.
For good and for ill, George had a _vision_ for the prequels, one that had no interest in retreading trodden ground.
The prequels are excellent breeding ground for spin-off shows, video games, comics, and novels.
The action in the prequels tell a story of their own and enhances the experience.
keep these videos up! you deserve more subs because your analysis is refreshing
Thanks so much!
Anyone who hates on Prequels are surface level and don’t understand art, or they just fall under popular opinion because there npc’s
😂😂😂😂😂
Dang
LOL, good one.
Wow, what a dumb take.
It takes a decently sized IQ to even understand and appreciate the prequels for what they are.
A caveman can enjoy the OT because it lacks depth, complexity, and the same degree of detail that the PT possesses.
@@Joe-Przybranowski wow....what a dumb comment
Very well said. I love the prequels.
Lucas was right in one aspect. He tried to do something different in each movie. The sequels not at all.😮😮😮
At least he actually has a plan for the trilogy before he started making the first movie.
Honestly, as a hardcore Lord of the Rings fanboy, this is exactly how I feel about the Hobbit Trilogy. They're flawed, but not nearly as terrible as people like to make them out to be.
I agree. The scene where a CGI camel farts in Jar Jar Binks face? The work of a genius for sure
Yep. What you are looking at is a genuine cult. It sounds funny, it sounds silly, but this is what this is. They genuinely HAVE to use religious thinking to make this garbage work in their brain.
The Phantom Menace made the same mistake The Last Jedi did. Lost the goodwill. Even the best movies have flaws, plot holes, but the more we love the movie, the more we overlook the holes. But lose our goodwill, our trust, and now we have a skeptical eye, watching and waiting, defenses up, for you to 'mess up' our movie. I still say The Last Jedi would not be so hated if it didn't, very early on, have Luke throw the lightsaber over his shoulder, like 'here's what our hipster director thinks about your precious nerd wars'. From that moment on, our defenses are up, and we are waiting for and anticipating disappointment.
But back to the Phantom Menace. Opening night, and you are remembering the last Star Wars you saw was ALMOST great. Return of the Jedi's final act is 3 fold. A space battle with mind blowing effects. Luke fighting for his soul against the Emperor and in some ways Vader. And the empire defeated by teddy bears. or as i described it. Edge of my seat. Edge of my seat. Disappointed sigh. Edge of my seat. Edge of my seat. Sigh, this silly crap again.
So opening night, Phantom Menace. Here's the crawl. So excited. 2 Jedi. cool. Is that Obi Wan? Sweeeet! And then.... Jar jar, and your good will remembers the Teddy bears, and goes 'UH OH'. And now you are looking for and bracing yourself for silly crap. Then, Darth Maul, lightsaber battles, you've gotten my good will back, defenses back down... nope. An hour of child acting and some racing nonsense. again 'UH OH'. And now we start noticing flaws, holes, etc.
Then the second movie, where after all these years we finally .... get to hear of all obi wan and Anikin's great adventures in an elevator one minute scene. It takes a seven season fill in show to redeem part two and make it beloved, but at the time, they never really get us back on board till the third one, and that confrontation with Palpatine and Mace Windu.
The OT and the prequels are the only Star Wars movies that exist.
I watched the prequels for the first time a few months ago and i honestly enjoyed them, i always see people say that you can only like them if you grew up with them, and while i definitely agree that they are incredibly flawed, i found it hard not to appreciate them and i honestly really didn't find them that bad.
The OT is still better but the prequels are good in my opinion, not masterpieces, but good.
I'd rather have a 5-second-gag from jar jar rather than the 2-hour-long carebear-montage in Return of The Jedi, or the awkward lightsaber-duel in A New Hope, or the messy pacing of Empire Strikes Back making you feel like you're watching 4 movies at the same time.
I just want to remind everybody ragging on the prequels that if we are going to criticise the prequels over every little thing and call them "cringy" because of small-scenes that you can easily cut-away without missing the story, THEN I AM GOING TO CRITIQUE THE UNSKIPPABLE 2-HOUR-CAREBEAR-MONTAGE IN RETURN OF THE JEDI!!! 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤 AND I ACTUALLY LIKE EWOKS, BY THE WAY!!
What say you in your defense?

This is such a well edited video for someone with such few subscribers.
I’m glad to be here before you hit a million. ❤🎉😊
Thank you so much!!
A great video on a general overview defending the prequels. In particular, the side by side comparisons with shots was really interesting, and I always enjoy seeing what parts of Star Wars were influenced by what. I am glad that there is some course correction on the rampant prequel hate that surrounded their release. I love Phantom Menace, and saw it several times in theatres, and it was difficult to listen to it get beaten up for so long.
That said, I think that part of the reason that I love Phantom Menace is that it's clear that Lucas is making exactly the film he wants to make. His enthusiasm radiates from the film. I feel like the public blowback from Phantom Menace may have humbled him, and he was less ambitious with Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, as the cinematography and storytelling are far less experimental.
I do think that auteur analysis is a good lens to consider Star Wars through, though it may be worth considering whether those methods were effective at getting the audience in the right place. Your section on dialogue in particular may have glossed over the dangers of taking the approach that Lucas did. In particular, writing very stilted dialogue might be an interesting homage to older cinema, but it means that it runs the risk of failing to get the audience to connect with Anakin, or building a convincing relationship between him and Padme. As a storytelling mechanism, it was an extremely dangerous approach to take, especially because the movies had to share their runtime with a B plot that had nothing to do with Anakin's journey.
The tragic effect is that Anakin is ultimately a character that I really don't like after the first film, and his journey is far less interesting to me than the fall of the Republic. His characterization as an emotionally unstable nineteen year old makes him very hard to root for. I have heard it suggested that Anakin's characterization is based off of James Dean's character, Jim Stark, from Rebel without a Cause and I find it a very appropriate comparison. Rebel without a Cause unambiguously paints Jim as the victim of a system that he does not fit into, which seems to be the approach that Lucas is taking with Anakin. But, like Jim, it's also clear that the disasters and misery that's being created is the result of his choices. He chooses the easy way out, and people suffer for it. And while I buy this comparison, I don't think Lucas wanted the audience to loathe Anakin as much as I did by the end of Attack of the Clones.
Of course, I don't speak for everyone. Discussing the emotional effect of cinematic choices is a more personal and subjective topic. But I really do appreciate the video opening the door to discussion about the specific choices made in Star Wars, why they were made, and what kind of effect they were driving at. Thanks for the video! Looking forward to diving into more!
Great video! I assume you already have watched it, but Rick Worley's SW videos are awesome too :)
Thanks! Rick’s videos were surely one of my biggest influences to make this video.
Amazing video man, I thought I knew a lot of info going into this but I learned a lot.
My only real problem with the prequels, was George's decision to essentially neuter Jar Jar after "The Phantom Menace". In that film, he was clumsy, but not stupid. By contrast, "Attack of the Clones" showed him willingly aiding in Palpatine's schemes, and in "Revenge of the Sith", he was practically a cameo.
Perhaps Lucas should have made Jar Jar less clumsy in TPM in order to avoid backlash. I think Jar Jar's clumsiness is consistent just until the second act.
I still love The Prequels to this day.
Thats a great reflection. I didnt know about this. George Lucas suddenly got a lot better. What a genius really. Thanks
Glad that you found it useful!
I recently watched AotC for the first time after constantly hearing that it was a bad movie and that the dialogue was bad.
In my honest opinion, the dialogue made sense for what it was trying to do, and for better or worse, Haydens unfamiliarity with the role of Anakin kind of played into what he was supposed to feel and how he was supposed to act. Honestly, he played Anakin very well for his first go around
AOTC is more detrimented by too many deleted scenes than bad writing or acting.
Twenty years ago, I would have gotten really arrogant, and told you how wrong you are. These days, I'm really not all that interested in dividing us into pro and anti prequel, sequel, whatever, teams. I do disagree with your assessment... and also agree, in a way. I've also really enjoyed your video.
I think the real problem with the prequels, is the "Hidden" in your video's title. They prequels touch on many complicated, interesting, and important themes. The problem is, they fail, as movies, to effectively explore those themes, and failed to connect audiences to many of them. Honestly, I think that's a big part of why the Clone Wars was so great. Some of the best story beats in the clone wars were George Lucas's ideas, but then those ideas were taken, expanded, and crafted into better executed stories, by Dave Filoni.
When I see the prequels, I don't see hidden brilliance, so much as unrealized potential. That's okay. That doesn't take away from how much they mean to those that love them. If anything, I look at the fans of the prequels, and feel a bit of jealousy, that the films didn't connect with me, in the same way.
I liked the prequels when they were released. I was a teenager at the time. I disliked them when I came of age. But now I enjoy them again as experimental movies. So, yes, you got the point.
The main criticism I'd have to the prequel trilogy, even considering its own standards, is the execution of Padmé's arc. Too many deleted scenes detriment the storytelling. If only an extended version was released.
George Lucas’s Star Wars prequels are a pure masterpiece, a magnificent, exciting, and incredibly rich work that has greatly contributed to the story, universe, characters, lore, and mythology of Star Wars. They are the greatest movies of all time-a thrilling, cult classic trilogy from beginning to end. These are the Star Wars movies George Lucas always intended to make, and they are the best, most complete, and richest of all the Star Wars trilogies. Everything is superb: the deepening of the Star Wars universe and its narrative elements is stunning and engaging. The detailed exploration of the Clone Wars, a pivotal moment in Star Wars history, is fascinating. The period of the Clone Wars is the best era in the Star Wars saga.
The gripping storyline develops throughout the films, with the rise of Palpatine (Darth Sidious) portrayed masterfully. His behind-the-scenes machinations to undermine the Galactic Republic and bring the galaxy under his control are meticulously shown. His manipulation to create a massive clone army and wipe out the Jedi with Order 66 is central to the story, explaining how the Galactic Empire came to be after the fall of the Republic and how Anakin turned to the dark side, becoming Darth Vader. Anakin’s fall, driven by his desire to save those he loved, is tragic and profound. His transformation into Darth Vader is a breathtaking, iconic scene. The connection to the original trilogy is seamlessly handled. Anakin’s internal conflict-torn between his loyalty to the Jedi Order and his desire to protect those he loves-makes his story deep and tragic. Key moments such as his confrontation with Count Dooku and his heartbreaking final duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar heighten the drama.
The prequels also brought invaluable depth to the Star Wars universe, offering detailed insight into the Jedi Order, the training of Padawans, the Sith, and Jedi teachings. The focus on the Sith and their philosophy strengthened the dark side of the Force, adding layers of depth and complexity to the saga.
The political aspect of the prequel trilogy introduces a new dimension to Star Wars, with Palpatine’s machinations in the Galactic Senate and the growing tensions between planetary systems, creating a richer context for the events of the Original Trilogy-the rise of the Empire, the fall of the Republic, the extinction of the Jedi, and the tragic story of Anakin Skywalker.
The expansion of the Star Wars universe is also amazing, with new planets, races, creatures, and cultures. The introduction of Dug, Gungans, Toydarians, Kaminoans, the underwater city, the Queen’s palace, the Galactic Senate, the cloning facility, and planets like Naboo and Coruscant-all of which are among the best-help create a larger, more diverse world. Iconic locations such as Kamino, Geonosis, Utapau, Felucia, and Mustafar provide visually captivating settings for action scenes, plot development, and key moments in the story. The trilogy also gave us legendary characters like Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padmé Amidala, Qui-Gon Jinn, Mace Windu, General Grievous, Jango Fett, and more.
The action scenes and lightsaber battles are some of the most memorable in the saga. Epic battles such as the Battle of Geonosis, the podrace on Tatooine, the Battle of Naboo, and the Battle over Coruscant are iconic, visually stunning, and filled with emotional stakes, involving characters we’ve grown to love. Lightsaber duels between legendary figures like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Darth Maul, and Yoda are executed with exceptional choreography, adding visceral energy to the story. The duel on Naboo, the clash with Count Dooku, Yoda’s fight with Darth Sidious in the Senate, Darth Maul’s encounter, and the tragic brotherly battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin are unforgettable.
These episodes also enriched Star Wars lore with charismatic new characters, unforgettable music like 'Duel of the Fates,' 'Across the Stars,' and 'Battle of the Heroes,' a fascinating and expansive mythology, and a cast of talented actors, including Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Samuel L. Jackson, and Liam Neeson.
Natalie Portman is stunning, graceful, and charismatic as Padmé Amidala, queen and senator of Naboo. She brings strength, determination, and courage to her role, evolving from a queen to a senator and eventually into a strong, elegant, and determined woman-a central feature of the trilogy.
Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson deliver a classy and memorable presence onscreen, and their dynamic as Jedi Masters is palpable, conveying wisdom and resolve that ground the story in Jedi heritage. Christopher Lee’s presence as Count Dooku adds a touch of class, elegance, and charisma, enhanced by his Shakespearean delivery.
The Star Wars prequels were the revival of the Star Wars saga, bringing real dramatic weight, political context, meaningful stakes, new and iconic characters, and thrilling action scenes. They vastly expanded the Star Wars universe, making it more diverse and richly developed, with a lore that perfectly complements the Original Trilogy and is inseparable from it.
These Star Wars episodes are masterpieces that form an incredible whole, a single, exceptional galactic epic. It is the story of Anakin Skywalker-from his training as a Jedi to his fall to the dark side, and ultimately his redemption in saving his son, destroying the Sith, and bringing balance to the Force. It’s also the story of the Galactic Empire, once a democratic Republic, and Palpatine’s rise from senator to emperor of the galaxy-his manipulation to secure his authority in the Senate, create his own Empire, destroy the Jedi Order, and keep Anakin as his apprentice. Furthermore, this trilogy marked a major advancement in digital filmmaking, modern technologies, editing, and special effects, allowing the creation of new worlds, incredible world-building, and the extraordinary narrative of the Star Wars prequels. Like Avatar, it is a vast, rich, and unlimited universe that explores new planets, civilizations, technologies, and worlds.
This trilogy is the greatest, most ambitious, and best-executed in Star Wars, as George Lucas was able to build his universe exactly as he envisioned it. Without the prequels, the Star Wars universe would not be as interesting, vast, developed, or as exciting and rich as it is today.
Star Wars Episodes 1, 2, and 3 are the greatest movies in the Star Wars universe. They are a legendary and essential work, pivotal in shaping the world of Star Wars, representing the best the franchise has to offer in every aspect. From Episodes I to VI, all the Star Wars movies are masterpieces-iconic, stunning, incredibly rich, exciting, and timeless. These movies remain unmatched, defining the pinnacle of science fiction with the best characters, actors, casting, scenes, universe, and storytelling. The depth, the expansion, and the sheer creativity of this universe are unparalleled, with its planets, environments, creatures, and civilizations revolutionizing cinema with groundbreaking technology, digital effects, and editing advancements.
Together, these two epic trilogies form a perfect, magical, and exceptional whole-an inseparable part of a grand, unified story: the tale of Anakin Skywalker, his journey from a Jedi to the dark side, and his ultimate redemption through self-sacrifice to save his son, destroy the Sith, and restore balance to the Force. It’s also the rise and fall of a dictatorship, showing the transformation of a democracy into tyranny, all set in a vast, sprawling universe that is breathtakingly rich and endlessly creative.
Star Wars Episodes I through VI tell the same story, set in the same universe-George Lucas’s singular vision of an extraordinary science fiction saga. Both trilogies are integral to the Star Wars world, two sides of the same galaxy. These two monumental trilogies are masterpieces that have greatly contributed to building the universe and lore of Star Wars as we know it today. They are legendary, exciting, and iconic works of science fiction, the crowning achievement of George Lucas. Six incredible movies that together form an inseparable whole.

Hey! My point is that the prequels would be better if you were more time on screen. Don't you agree?
Star Wars I-VI are the true cult classic wonderful movies that built the legend of the Star Wars universe, the Skywalker saga, Star Wars world building, iconic characters, world expansion and exploration, the diversity of peoples, planets, environments, creatures, and digital technologies revolution, a great galactic epic in six wonderful parts, the story of Anakin Skywalker, the chosen one destined to bring balance to the Force, the rise and fall of a hero who succumbs to fear, anger and the temptation of the dark side, his quest to save those he loved, leading him to become Darth Vader, and how he ultimately redeems himself through the love of his son, the story of a democracy slowly corrupted into a dictatorship, as Palpatine manipulates fear and crisis to seize absolute power, until the fall of the Empire and the restoration of the Republic's order through Anakin's sacrifice, ending with the liberation of all the planets of the Star Wars world, the wonderful Star Wars galaxy, the work of its creator, two wonderful facets that form an inseparable whole of the Star Wars galaxy, the six original movies of the Star Wars universe, the creativity of world-building, the perfectionist visionary genius and incredible fantastic imagination of George Lucas, and Star Wars I-VI will never be beaten.

"Extended versions" of the prequels are available on the internet including deleted scenes from Revenge of the Sith.
To be honest.ever since i saw the prequels.i loved them and the original trilogy or special edition and even today at the age of 34 i still love the prequels because of the storytelling.yes i still love the original trilogy.but the prequels did them justice by explaining the entire Backstory.
I absolutely love the originals, but I have always enjoyed the prequel movies, that time-period and its story-telling way more.
I've come to appreciate the prequels more over the years. I think what did it for me was all the adjacent storytelling of The Clone Wars. Even the game Jedi: Fallen Order did its part to improve Order 66. Expanding the story this way was just plain genius
Film is Literature, it doesn't mean that all film is on the same level, some is pulp, some is philosophical, some are mythological, some are political, some are popular culture, and on and on, and some are hybrids; George Lucas hybridized much of this in Star Wars.
Love this video

I have always loved the prequels and considered them some of the best movies I’ve ever seen. I never let other peoples’ opinions sway me into thinking that they were “bad” or “poorly written” or even that they ruined what the originals had created. In fact, I love them even more for being different. George Lucas risked making these movies to tell a cohesive story, one that ends on a happy note with episode 6 and a very heartbreaking note with episode 3. Your video simply has convinced me to love the prequels even more! Thanks so much for your hard work delving into these masterpieces!
The Prequels remind me of Omniverse from Ben 10. 😂
People complain that Anakins dialogue is awkward but that is the point he is an awkward young man that knows nothing about women or romance, in Episode 3 you can see he's gained a lot of self assurance. Also the Prequels had far more practical effects than the Original Trilogy did.
I always liked the prequels, but I've grown to really appreciate them on many levels - especially political.
Good video, cheers.
They weren't perfect, but they at least set up the original trilogy and shown us the tragedy of Darth Vader
Extremely well put together material! And one thing that will always set the PT and OT apart from the sequels was that George Lucas had a story to tell and it flows from the prequels to the originals. The man loves Star Wars and you can tell. The sequels were made as a cash grab with an incoherent story that changes between movies and disregards the trilogies that came before.
When is the hour long video that shows all the references?
Excellent video, dude. Instant subscribe.
George Lucas needed two things (saying as someone who likes old movies):
1 actors that would challenge the writing (the way Harrison Ford did when he changed the I love you to I know).
2 people in the background willing to help with his dialogue problem: his wife edited the first movie, the writer that came in for the second movie etc. And there were people who did fix this in written form (the novels of the prequels which I can no recommend enough and even the animated clone wars series aided in the quality.)
Loved Everything else, even the politics people hated came from Dune and it can work. Jar Jar would have worked as a sith I think.
And I don't see this as his fault as much as his fame preventing him being challenged and getting a bunch of yes men. Visually it was a beautiful movie. It had amazing world building, Palestine's manipulations, vastly improved fight scenes, some solid arcs (obi wan especially) and amazing new characters (Qui Gon especially). I may prefer the books for dialogue but everything else was solid.
The yes men point was debunked, even in the OT nobody challenged George, read the books about the making of Star Wars instead of trusting plinkett, Rocket Jump or other superficial youtubers who regurgitate the same points with a different taste for easy money.
The "I know" part is called improvising, very common in movies, like the Heath ledger applause in the dark knight
Sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about.
1. Actors challenged the writing. Christopher Lee, for example, adamantly refused to have his character beg for his life, because he firmly believed that Dooku would rather die with dignity. And Lucas listened. Just like he listened to his good friends Ron Howard and Steven Spielberg whenever they told him "nope, George. Sorry, but this won't work. You'll have to find something else".
2. Regarding Harrison Ford. Yes, he improvised that line. He also openly admitted he was wrong when he said "you can _type_ that shit, George, but you just can't *SAY* it!". The complete quote is: "that's what I kept telling George. However, when I watched the finished movie on the big screen, it worked! Everything made sense! I was wrong and George was right! Of course he was right! It's his story, after all. He knew was he was doing".
3. Lawrence Kasdan did very little rewriting on TESB. He polished the dialogues a bit here and there, but that's pretty much it.
4. Marcia Lucas was not the only one who edited ANH. The film was mostly edited from scratch by Lucas himself, after the piss poor job done by John Jympson, the first editor. But it was so much work and Lucas had so little time left that he had to ask his then-wife Marcia, Paul Hirsch, and Richard Chew to give him a hand. And the 4 of them edited the film exactly the way Lucas wanted this time around, with him as the chief editor. You've got to remember that Lucas, while being open to criticism and suggestions, always had final say. Besides, Marcia herself debunked the myth according to which she allegedly "saved Star Wars in the edit".
5. Lucas was not surrounded by "yes men". As I said, he always welcomes constructive criticism and is totally open to suggestions, even if he has final say. Want to know who was a yes-man? Gary Kurtz! He couldn't say 'no' to Irvin Kershner, which is why TESB went way behind schedule and way over budget, forcing Lucas to take out a loan to finish the film. That's why Gary Kurtz was let go, and interestingly enough, he almost got himself fired on Return to Oz for exactly the same reasons.
Listen, I won't deny the fact that the prequel movies are incredibly flawed, but there's no need to lie in order to get your point across.
@@Megrez-Alberich I didn't lie. That's what I was told. And how do I know you are any more correct when you're just from the internet comment section which seems even less credible?
@@barbarabaker1457 Because what I said is well-documented. Harisson saying that he was wrong to criticize the dialogues. Marcia Lucas saying that while she did help make some scenes work better and more naturally, she definitely did *NOT* "save Star Wars in the edit". Gary Kurtz being let go for going over budget and beyond schedule on TESB, and then claiming he left on his own accord because of creative differences, etc.
@@Megrez-Alberich Then explain why the dialogue is the biggest problem with the movies and why these movies dropped so significantly in quality despite him still running the show, even if the world building and larger ideas were still brilliant. Also having read the third book, clearly they Could have been written better.
Yeah I think we can all agree that Maul's dual lightsaber gets bigger in his hand when he turns on the second blade. oopsie...
There's only one flaw in this video, Anakin became Vader before he was on Mustafar.
Very good video I learned allot. Thank you
I prefer readily apparent genius in my SW movie experience, so I won't be finding that in the 2,000's.
The Prequels are oddly my favorite parts of the story.
The Originals were more handcrafted in feel, but the Prequels took the chance to tell a genuine tragedy, which I find engaging. In their flaws, they are charming.
A HELL of a lot better than the drivel Marvel is putting out.
Disney.
Sounds like to me that the same people who the Star Wars sequel trilogy are the same people who hated the prequel trilogy.
for me the issue with the prequel are in execution of the sotry. the reason OT works so well is that there were people to tyell Lucas No and show him a better route to his goal. tyhe PT he didn't have that. too many yes men. the Clone wars helps alot in this issue
I just watched the prequels, and came away from them with mixed emotions. I hadn’t watched them since my teens, and because I’m older now I was able to see the complexities in the storytelling a lot clearer. I’m glad you addressed the dialogue, as I was unaware of its intentionalities. I was watching them thinking Lucas had to have known this dialogue is stiff and lifeless, right? Makes more sense now. I still feel like there is a clear disconnect in the prequels though. The pacing and over the top action scenes/cgi clash with the storytelling and dialogue. There’s some pretty dark/deep themes here with Anakin’s story, but it seems thrown off by the overall tone of the movies. Slightly darker, more visceral, and a slower pace would have nailed it. Either that or lightening up the story a bit to match the fast paced action movie style. Just some thoughts fresh after watching them.
I think the sequels were more of a necessary evil. If it weren't for their existence, the prequels would still have been hated today as they were then. You gotta give credit where it's due.
The prequels are my childhood and I will always love them. The Clone Wars TV shows and Tales of the Jedi now make them even better especially the second clone wars series.
The prequels may not be “perfect” from a technical standpoint, but the prequels are THE most important film trilogy in my life. My father had me watch the original trilogy before I got to see the prequels and the prequels still felt so much more magical to me. They captivated my attention and the worlds and stories and characters meant so much to me. Idc what anyone says, the prequels are such an amazing experience
George Lucas’s Star Wars prequels are a pure masterpiece, a magnificent, exciting, and incredibly rich work that has greatly contributed to the story, universe, characters, lore, and mythology of Star Wars. They are the greatest movies of all time-a thrilling, cult classic trilogy from beginning to end. These are the Star Wars movies George Lucas always intended to make, and they are the best, most complete, and richest of all the Star Wars trilogies. Everything is superb: the deepening of the Star Wars universe and its narrative elements is stunning and engaging. The detailed exploration of the Clone Wars, a pivotal moment in Star Wars history, is fascinating. The period of the Clone Wars is the best era in the Star Wars saga.
The gripping storyline develops throughout the films, with the rise of Palpatine (Darth Sidious) portrayed masterfully. His behind-the-scenes machinations to undermine the Galactic Republic and bring the galaxy under his control are meticulously shown. His manipulation to create a massive clone army and wipe out the Jedi with Order 66 is central to the story, explaining how the Galactic Empire came to be after the fall of the Republic and how Anakin turned to the dark side, becoming Darth Vader. Anakin’s fall, driven by his desire to save those he loved, is tragic and profound. His transformation into Darth Vader is a breathtaking, iconic scene. The connection to the original trilogy is seamlessly handled. Anakin’s internal conflict-torn between his loyalty to the Jedi Order and his desire to protect those he loves-makes his story deep and tragic. Key moments such as his confrontation with Count Dooku and his heartbreaking final duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar heighten the drama.
The prequels also brought invaluable depth to the Star Wars universe, offering detailed insight into the Jedi Order, the training of Padawans, the Sith, and Jedi teachings. The focus on the Sith and their philosophy strengthened the dark side of the Force, adding layers of depth and complexity to the saga.
The political aspect of the prequel trilogy introduces a new dimension to Star Wars, with Palpatine’s machinations in the Galactic Senate and the growing tensions between planetary systems, creating a richer context for the events of the Original Trilogy-the rise of the Empire, the fall of the Republic, the extinction of the Jedi, and the tragic story of Anakin Skywalker.
The expansion of the Star Wars universe is also amazing, with new planets, races, creatures, and cultures. The introduction of Dug, Gungans, Toydarians, Kaminoans, the underwater city, the Queen’s palace, the Galactic Senate, the cloning facility, and planets like Naboo and Coruscant-all of which are among the best-help create a larger, more diverse world. Iconic locations such as Kamino, Geonosis, Utapau, Felucia, and Mustafar provide visually captivating settings for action scenes, plot development, and key moments in the story. The trilogy also gave us legendary characters like Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padmé Amidala, Qui-Gon Jinn, Mace Windu, General Grievous, Jango Fett, and more.
The action scenes and lightsaber battles are some of the most memorable in the saga. Epic battles such as the Battle of Geonosis, the podrace on Tatooine, the Battle of Naboo, and the Battle over Coruscant are iconic, visually stunning, and filled with emotional stakes, involving characters we’ve grown to love. Lightsaber duels between legendary figures like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Darth Maul, and Yoda are executed with exceptional choreography, adding visceral energy to the story. The duel on Naboo, the clash with Count Dooku, Yoda’s fight with Darth Sidious in the Senate, Darth Maul’s encounter, and the tragic brotherly battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin are unforgettable.
These episodes also enriched Star Wars lore with charismatic new characters, unforgettable music like 'Duel of the Fates,' 'Across the Stars,' and 'Battle of the Heroes,' a fascinating and expansive mythology, and a cast of talented actors, including Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Samuel L. Jackson, and Liam Neeson.
Natalie Portman is stunning, graceful, and charismatic as Padmé Amidala, queen and senator of Naboo. She brings strength, determination, and courage to her role, evolving from a queen to a senator and eventually into a strong, elegant, and determined woman-a central feature of the trilogy.
Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson deliver a classy and memorable presence onscreen, and their dynamic as Jedi Masters is palpable, conveying wisdom and resolve that ground the story in Jedi heritage. Christopher Lee’s presence as Count Dooku adds a touch of class, elegance, and charisma, enhanced by his Shakespearean delivery.
The Star Wars prequels were the revival of the Star Wars saga, bringing real dramatic weight, political context, meaningful stakes, new and iconic characters, and thrilling action scenes. They vastly expanded the Star Wars universe, making it more diverse and richly developed, with a lore that perfectly complements the Original Trilogy and is inseparable from it.

As time has gone on I've learned that I'd much rather have the prequels than the sequels. And in fact, they're very good movies. Thanks for this video!
Palpatine is more like Octavius than Hitler. Hitler was just a corrupt politician taking advantage of situations, nothing special or uncommon. Hitler believed his own lies but Octavius was deeply insidious and machiavellian. Octavius was never deluded, he had no ideology other than remaining the first citizen.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
I will forever stand on the ground that Phantom Menace is good, it just gets bogged down by Jar Jar Binks being too much of a comedic relief character and nothing else.
I am a kid of the early nineties. I grew up on watching the OG first and i was the primary target audience for the Prequels.
Maybe is because i was soo fond of history, especially Roman History but i never failed to NOT appreciate the Prequels. Are they perfect? Nope. But neither is the OG.
Too many "fans" are just old babies who believe star wars should never have been anything but episode 4.
Is not a surprise to notice how many of these "starwars purist" were so on board with the GODAWFUL "sequel" trilogy especially The Farce Awakens.
What all the reviews given by supposed "SW purist" they were slobbering all over JarJarAbrams until it was uncool. Then they reverse their note.
That trilogy made me loose respect for a lot of "critics".
The moment somebody jingled shiny keys in their faces they bowed down in reverence..
I watched that garbage. ONCE. It took me a while to understand what was bugging me about it. But when i finally understood i decided not to watch ANYTHING SW produced by Disney. I made an exception for RogueOne. Everything else. NOT WORTH it.
Souless, plotless, planless.
Sorry no amount of baby yoda, cameo and weird deaged CGI will make me interest in shows that botched their entire canon universe for a marvel joke.
The Prequels and The OT had a plan, a vision and then executed it. Disney's garbage is grift.

Star Wars was made for kids. When I was a kid, I loved these movies.
So that's why they are extremely political and smh complex for no reason
@@billthedoritoguy4770 extremely political, no. Thematically political, sure.
The prequels would’ve been perfect if they nailed the romance of Anakin and Padme.
Lucas deleted a couple of scenes that would've made the romance work better.
At first i didn't really like the Prequals but after how Disney treated Star Wars, I learned to appreciate the prequals even more, re-discovered how ingenious George Lucas vision on telling a story of the fall of the Jedi. The Jedi lost from their blind ignorance. Its amazing how Palpatine took power out in the open. How the Jedi just ignored Anakin, did not taken better care of his needs.
No kidding. If we are honest, it’s all really Yoda and the Jedi councils fault. They epically failed the republic. They told Qui Gon and Obi Wan both they weren’t to train Anakin, but after they said they’d do it anyway they just let them? Nah-uh, that’s poor leadership. You know what Obi Wan, you can’t just do whatever you want, and if you have a problem with it then your out of the order. There was a Sith Lord in front of their faces the entire time and they couldn’t figure it out until it was way too late. You can’t help but feel somewhat sympathetic to Anakin, I mean the force was literally speaking to him in his dreams and his masters were like like oh cmon you gotta let that shit with your mom go it’ll only lead to the dark side. Kid was a slave the first 9 years of his life and had to leave his mom who took care of him that entire time for the Jedi order who keep telling him to just let it all go. Fuckin brutal.
@@ryanb107 Obi Wan was more like a brother then a father to Anakin. If Qui Gon was still alive I think he would have been better suited to be Anakin teacher and he would have filled the father absence. Anakin wouldnt have easily fell to the Dark Side if Qui Gon was around.
TRUTH: As a big Star Wars fan,it I very accurate I grew up with the prequels first because George Lucas really put his heart into them. The prequels had the most unique narrative that ties together with the originals.
FACT: The sequels really botched up what could been an amazing conclusion in addition to the prequels.
Unpopular opinion: Attack of the Clones is my favorite Star Wars movie. It feels the most like Star Wars to me.
I absolutely agree with you. It's my fave too. It's pure Star Wars. Love it to bits. I don't care what others say. It's a piece of art. Each frame of AOTC is a million times better than the entire sequel wanna-be Star Wars Disney trilogy catastrophe put together.
I think the fall of the Galactic Republic may have more parallels with the fall of the Roman Republic than the Roman Empire. In the case of the Roman Republic, it was initially controlled by a senate with two consuls, but later, along with civil wars, Octavian was able to concentrate power around him, becoming the emperor Augustus. I don't think the Roman Senate had much influence in the empire compared to the Republic.
I love the prequels. However, i do think they could have benefit from another movie afte Clones and before Sith
The Clone Wars series already serves that purpose
@@tylercottam3274 Well yeah, I Agree. I love the Clone Wars. However, I still think a live action movie could have helped the prequels.
Compared to the fare doled out by Dizzynee, they're on par with Casablanca or Gone With The Wind.
“George Lucas ruined my childhood” 😂 The prequels were so misunderstood.
**Ahem**
Allow me to say this now.. before I depart from this realm..
WEEEEEEEEEEE. TOLD YOU SO ………..
The prequels were made from passion, the sequels were made from greed and desire for money. It doesn't matter how "bad" people think the prequels are, they'll outlast the sequels because they're genuine and authentic.
great video. but the scene where anakin and obi wan are using force push against each other is the scene that resembles the painting you mentioned. not the scene of him crying
Great study! Keep it up 👍🏻
I watched both trilogies for the first time as a 30 years old man. The original trilogy is good, but I think it's a little overrated. People can't take the nostalgia glasses off.
And with zero nostalgia for the original trilogy, I watched the prequel trilogy and I really enjoyed it.
Are the SIX films masterpieces? No, but both trilogies have their ups and downs. Both have really good highs.
Anyways, I just wanted to say that both trilogies are as equally flawed and in turn, equally good.
I grew up with the originals when I was a child and I agree with you about them being overrated.
well done, great analysis. To me the missing element of these prequels is that the actors weren't very cool, like Harrison and Carrie. These nerdy brits are barley likable.
The weird thing about the Prequels is that the same person can say, 'They're pretty good, but...' or 'They're pretty bad, but...' and *both* be right.
Glad people are realizing how goated the prequels are
There are two things I hate about the PT, and there's one thing I hate about the SE OT. Three things I hate from six movies. Not bad for such an epic saga!
It took decades for me to realize the prequels were hated. I'm still not convinced they were really hated. Rather, I suspect the criticism originated largely from movie critics and media outlets of the time. I might be wrong about that, but I'm certain the Star Wars prequels are worth it for the massive exercize in worldbuilding alone. Most of what we remember from Star Wars today was created by, or in relation to, the prequel movies.
George Lucas’s Star Wars prequels are a pure masterpiece, a magnificent, exciting, and incredibly rich work that has greatly contributed to the story, universe, characters, lore, and mythology of Star Wars. They are the greatest movies of all time-a thrilling, cult classic trilogy from beginning to end. These are the Star Wars movies George Lucas always intended to make, and they are the best, most complete, and richest of all the Star Wars trilogies. Everything is superb: the deepening of the Star Wars universe and its narrative elements is stunning and engaging. The detailed exploration of the Clone Wars, a pivotal moment in Star Wars history, is fascinating. The period of the Clone Wars is the best era in the Star Wars saga.
The gripping storyline develops throughout the films, with the rise of Palpatine (Darth Sidious) portrayed masterfully. His behind-the-scenes machinations to undermine the Galactic Republic and bring the galaxy under his control are meticulously shown. His manipulation to create a massive clone army and wipe out the Jedi with Order 66 is central to the story, explaining how the Galactic Empire came to be after the fall of the Republic and how Anakin turned to the dark side, becoming Darth Vader. Anakin’s fall, driven by his desire to save those he loved, is tragic and profound. His transformation into Darth Vader is a breathtaking, iconic scene. The connection to the original trilogy is seamlessly handled. Anakin’s internal conflict-torn between his loyalty to the Jedi Order and his desire to protect those he loves-makes his story deep and tragic. Key moments such as his confrontation with Count Dooku and his heartbreaking final duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar heighten the drama.
The prequels also brought invaluable depth to the Star Wars universe, offering detailed insight into the Jedi Order, the training of Padawans, the Sith, and Jedi teachings. The focus on the Sith and their philosophy strengthened the dark side of the Force, adding layers of depth and complexity to the saga.
The political aspect of the prequel trilogy introduces a new dimension to Star Wars, with Palpatine’s machinations in the Galactic Senate and the growing tensions between planetary systems, creating a richer context for the events of the Original Trilogy-the rise of the Empire, the fall of the Republic, the extinction of the Jedi, and the tragic story of Anakin Skywalker.
The expansion of the Star Wars universe is also amazing, with new planets, races, creatures, and cultures. The introduction of Dug, Gungans, Toydarians, Kaminoans, the underwater city, the Queen’s palace, the Galactic Senate, the cloning facility, and planets like Naboo and Coruscant-all of which are among the best-help create a larger, more diverse world. Iconic locations such as Kamino, Geonosis, Utapau, Felucia, and Mustafar provide visually captivating settings for action scenes, plot development, and key moments in the story. The trilogy also gave us legendary characters like Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padmé Amidala, Qui-Gon Jinn, Mace Windu, General Grievous, Jango Fett, and more.
The action scenes and lightsaber battles are some of the most memorable in the saga. Epic battles such as the Battle of Geonosis, the podrace on Tatooine, the Battle of Naboo, and the Battle over Coruscant are iconic, visually stunning, and filled with emotional stakes, involving characters we’ve grown to love. Lightsaber duels between legendary figures like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Darth Maul, and Yoda are executed with exceptional choreography, adding visceral energy to the story. The duel on Naboo, the clash with Count Dooku, Yoda’s fight with Darth Sidious in the Senate, Darth Maul’s encounter, and the tragic brotherly battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin are unforgettable.
These episodes also enriched Star Wars lore with charismatic new characters, unforgettable music like 'Duel of the Fates,' 'Across the Stars,' and 'Battle of the Heroes,' a fascinating and expansive mythology, and a cast of talented actors, including Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Samuel L. Jackson, and Liam Neeson.
Natalie Portman is stunning, graceful, and charismatic as Padmé Amidala, queen and senator of Naboo. She brings strength, determination, and courage to her role, evolving from a queen to a senator and eventually into a strong, elegant, and determined woman-a central feature of the trilogy.
Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson deliver a classy and memorable presence onscreen, and their dynamic as Jedi Masters is palpable, conveying wisdom and resolve that ground the story in Jedi heritage. Christopher Lee’s presence as Count Dooku adds a touch of class, elegance, and charisma, enhanced by his Shakespearean delivery.
The Star Wars prequels were the revival of the Star Wars saga, bringing real dramatic weight, political context, meaningful stakes, new and iconic characters, and thrilling action scenes. They vastly expanded the Star Wars universe, making it more diverse and richly developed, with a lore that perfectly complements the Original Trilogy and is inseparable from it.
These Star Wars episodes are masterpieces that form an incredible whole, a single, exceptional galactic epic. It is the story of Anakin Skywalker-from his training as a Jedi to his fall to the dark side, and ultimately his redemption in saving his son, destroying the Sith, and bringing balance to the Force. It’s also the story of the Galactic Empire, once a democratic Republic, and Palpatine’s rise from senator to emperor of the galaxy-his manipulation to secure his authority in the Senate, create his own Empire, destroy the Jedi Order, and keep Anakin as his apprentice. Furthermore, this trilogy marked a major advancement in digital filmmaking, modern technologies, editing, and special effects, allowing the creation of new worlds, incredible world-building, and the extraordinary narrative of the Star Wars prequels. Like Avatar, it is a vast, rich, and unlimited universe that explores new planets, civilizations, technologies, and worlds.
This trilogy is the greatest, most ambitious, and best-executed in Star Wars, as George Lucas was able to build his universe exactly as he envisioned it. Without the prequels, the Star Wars universe would not be as interesting, vast, developed, or as exciting and rich as it is today.
Star Wars Episodes 1, 2, and 3 are the greatest movies in the Star Wars universe. They are a legendary and essential work, pivotal in shaping the world of Star Wars, representing the best the franchise has to offer in every aspect. From Episodes I to VI, all the Star Wars movies are masterpieces-iconic, stunning, incredibly rich, exciting, and timeless. These movies remain unmatched, defining the pinnacle of science fiction with the best characters, actors, casting, scenes, universe, and storytelling. The depth, the expansion, and the sheer creativity of this universe are unparalleled, with its planets, environments, creatures, and civilizations revolutionizing cinema with groundbreaking technology, digital effects, and editing advancements.
Together, these two epic trilogies form a perfect, magical, and exceptional whole-an inseparable part of a grand, unified story: the tale of Anakin Skywalker, his journey from a Jedi to the dark side, and his ultimate redemption through self-sacrifice to save his son, destroy the Sith, and restore balance to the Force. It’s also the rise and fall of a dictatorship, showing the transformation of a democracy into tyranny, all set in a vast, sprawling universe that is breathtakingly rich and endlessly creative.
Star Wars Episodes I through VI tell the same story, set in the same universe-George Lucas’s singular vision of an extraordinary science fiction saga. Both trilogies are integral to the Star Wars world, two sides of the same galaxy. These two monumental trilogies are masterpieces that have greatly contributed to building the universe and lore of Star Wars as we know it today. They are legendary, exciting, and iconic works of science fiction, the crowning achievement of George Lucas. Six incredible movies that together form an inseparable whole.
@@ringolam3187 it reads like a ChatGPT answer 🤣
I do have to say that I feel more connected to the prequels as opposed to the sequels. That's had to not agree on. Once Disney took over it didn't have the same Lucas feel.
The prequels were conceived out of Lucas’ love and passion for the story, the sequels were designed as money making machines. Soulless to the core.
Oh the bad dialogue was on purpose
Like I always say, it takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far far away so why would they talk like modern people?
Chapeau for ur research 👏👏👏
Thanks! 🫡
The fact there is a legacy of hate for the prequels after Disney has come and demolished the entire franchise brick by brick never fails to astound me.
The problem about these movies is they did not develop the story between Anakin and his wife. Why should I care about his wife? When you don't have enough screen time for that story. To develop Relationship And when she dies, you should care, but you don't. If you like them more power to you, I think they're terrible just facts are facts. Only one good movie came out of it. And And that's terrible, I'll have way more fun time. Watching the sequel trilogy or we watching the original Sorry, not sorry.

you got this 100% right. been saying this same thing forever.
You should probably give Rick Worley some credit for this video considering you took so much footage directly from his video and just slightly reworded some of his points.
Popular opinion about the prequels is Wrong they’re EPIC
You forgot to mention that the battle of Genosis was inspired from the battle of Genesis from the bible.
