The whole scene with Padme dying could have been easily solved. You go from her on her death bed and you transitions to the Emperor . He is meditating, concentrating and then, slowly you see him smile, a devilish smile.
This is all that is needed to slightly change the whole narrative, making it that the Emperor was the one pulling all the strings
sith don't meditate
gosh I love this podcast. Like this kind of dynamic is so relatable to me. Every time I hang out with my friend from School and we are all about the same movie by chance thats how we roll. strong parts, weak parts, nitpicks, interesting related things. all laughing, arguing and getting a little too into it, but, you know. They're Just Movies
i dont think The Mandalorian is just "ok" Mando is legitimately good star wars media, just sucks some of it is sandwiched in with Book of Boba.
Mando is very hit or miss IMO, some episodes are like absolutely 9/10 great content and others are like 3/10 pure filler. Overall it is good though but I think that puts people off.
And I like the prequels more than the newest trilogy so I guess I have a bad opinion lol revenge of the sith is my favorite
You're by no means alone in that. The prequels are a bit over the top with some bad cgi and q while lot of cringe but the newest lot are just bad movies that cater for literally nobody.
@@klebyell you say “bad movie” as if you know what you’re talking about. They’re badly written. That’s it. Differently than the way the Prequels are badly written, but I’d say they’re equally as frustrating. Just differently.
I just think that the essence of Star Wars is in the prequels albeit in small doses whereas in the new trilogy does t feel like Star Wars at all. Convoluted plots, bringing people back to life that should be dead, making people do things they shouldn’t/wouldn’t be able to do. The prequels by no means escape all that but when I watch them I find more scenes that I appreciate than I do in the sequels.
Also, regarding whether Star Wars generally just sucks, honestly, I think many Star Wars fans will even admit that a good Star Wars movie isn't really on the level of a good non-Star-Wars movie. Frankly, Rogue One snapped me right out of my nostalgia for the other movies, to the point I can't even stand watching the other Star Wars movies. I think Rogue One is a legitimately good movie, and I wish other movies would've taken more risks. The irony with Rogue One is that you kind of know what happens as soon as you realize what the movie is about, but it still manages to feel really fresh due to how it really doesn't pull punches.
By the way, I'd like to see something like The Chosen One with a Kung-Pow-style dub. And, regarding Yoda falling, add Wimp-Lo-style shoe squeaks when Yoda moves around or falls.
Dave feloni wasn't involved in kenobi
I know y’all are probably all Star Wars-ed out by this point, but it would be cool to see you do a review of the Despecialized Editions of the original trilogy or the 4K77/80/83 versions. Watching them made me realize how the original Star Wars and Empire are among the greatest movies ever made, completely separate from the franchise. And I don’t really have nostalgia for them. They’re just beautifully shot and immaculately paced movies.
I like the prequels, I was a young kid when they came out and have fond memories of all the toys and hype around them. Pod racing, darth maul, qui-gon, Ewan Mcgreggor we’re all real high points. The memes that they have spawned since are amazing. George Lucas wanted Anakin to be Fearful in episode 1, Angry in Episode 2 and Hateful in episode 3. Because fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and hate leads to suffering. Hayden Christiansen did a great job at displaying this transition.
The prequels are bad and you should feel bad for liking them.
@@roomie4rent what a beta you are
@@roomie4rent Ratioed
@@WilliamAfton.exe_ Don't care. The movies are objectively bad. Red Letter Media breaks it down thoroughly if you don't believe me. Seems everyone here has terrible taste in movies.
@@roomie4rent I never liked the Prequels but there’s no such thing as something being objectively bad. That’s something edgy guys have convinced themselves is a thing to feel righteous in their opinion. Let the person enjoy the movie from their childhood. I promise you we liked some really terrible movies from our childhood
Thanks for counting down for the spoiled David. That gave me the perfect amount of time to pause the podcast!
Best score ever -69/420 or ~ -0.164
The first time I learned about Star Wars was from watching the CG clone wars tv show. I love that show so much I became a Star Wars fan after that I watched the prequels. Having knowledge from the clone wars before the prequel trilogy made the prequel trilogy far better and a lot more understandable. I understand the argument that some thing made after does not fix what was made before but I truly would recommend the clone wars show. It’s a entertaining show nonetheless and gives you the feeling that you want as a Star Wars fan.
Also the CG clone wars is probably a more mature story than the prequels even if it’s a “kids” show
Force reflexes to deflect blaster shots goes hand in hand with force speed to move super fast
The perfect trio
You guys had me cracking up with your "chosen one" callouts. Kung Pow! Enter the Fist review when?
Thanks for taking my suggestion to check out the fan edit. Older fan here. I definitely think they should have stuck to the Eastern mysticism roots and kept the Force mysterious. I almost wish they never made the prequels or sequels and left well enough alone. Kinda how I feel the Matrix didn't need any sequels. Another suggestion: please do one of my favorite movies - Scott Pilgrim vs the World.
They did scott pilgrim a while back. Might have still been under the carpool banner
Also, Star Wars Despecialized! I don't even know what's the latest copy but damn that is quite the accomplishment
at least the prequels have very redeemable qualities compared to the sequel trilogy which you cannot fix with editing lol.
and I feel like the politics part is integral to the plot. understanding what Palpatine was able to do requires it
I believe disney fear stepping politic on star wars because it can be viewed as controversial, when Lucasfilm still independent, they can do anything they want but under Disney, it is dificult due how much external factor can do some yada yada yada and this and that on twitter.
Star wars is always about politic, and I doubt modern film dare to do the same
TBF being a Star Wars fan and not watching Clone Wars, is like being a Terminator fan and not watching T2.
Growing up, the only reason I cared about SW more than something like Transformers or Fast/Furious; is because of KOTOR 1/2 and Clone Wars.
When they mentioned the C-3PO scenes in the factory I could not help thinking about Auralnauts The Last Laser Master with creepy-O 😂. If you have no idea what I am talking about. Search for Auralnauts on RUclips, they have some great starwars parodies made from the original moves. Thank me later 😉
As a prequel lover, I have a suggestion you may like.
So when Anakin tells Mace that Palp is the Sith Lord, mace and the other masters are already on their way to his office to make sure he gives up his control over the clone army as grevious has been killed.
BUT. A better way to dispatch the other 3 masters would be if they had left sooner, and Anakin only caught up with mace. So he finds out and he’s like “oh shit Kit and the boys are already on their way and they don’t know!”
This way Palpatine, knowing his cover is blown, could catch them off guard and dispatch them quickly when they are just chilling in his office waiting for Mace.
So when Mace arrives. He would see his dead friends and be pissed off. Fueling his anger in the fight and making him want to kill him at the end even more. And then Anakin would see the hate in his eyes, and be really caught off guard by seeing a hateful Jedi.
Guys, Star Wars is all about retconning, even from the start. Luke and Leia being siblings and Darth Vader children is a retcon. It's pretty evident in ANH that wasn't a thought (maybe Luke being DV's son, but definitely not Leia being his sister)
Obi-Wan episode 5, that just came out, finally has a lightsaber throw with pulling back afterwards :D
Would be interesting to see you folks do one of the Hobbit fan edits next.
At least we got Dave Filoni and his 'The Clone Wars', 'Rebels' and 'Bad Batch' animated series as a result of the story setup of the prequels. Not to mention Dave's involvement with the live action series like Mandalorian, and hopefully a good Ahsoka series. Speaking of - Ahsoka! - best thing to come out of 'The Clone Wars' series, IMO.
I cannot be okay with not doing the pod race.
15:28 There he goes with "Bob of Something" again!
One of the ideas of what the Clone Wars would be mentioned in the comics previous to the movies suggested kind of a Blade Runner kind of situation where they were made for labor but then rebelled against the society. I think that would have been way more interesting and you could have kept Palpatine being behind their rebellion and the Republic holding onto what they have. Hell, make the Separatists the outer rim. Maybe they got to know the clones and saw their mistreatment and weren’t willing to live with a Republic that allows that. This is all off the top of my head so definitely not my final argument but my point is there were more interesting, and consistent, choices that could have been made
Maybe you guys should go peak romcom and review Love, Actually or Bridget Jones’ Diary
I hate to be that kind of guy, but a lot of the complaints David has about the Force in the Prequels are handled much better in the clone wars and rebels tv shows. And i get that you have to wade through the kids-show aspects of it to get to that and i dont expect anyone to watch it. I just want y'all to know that these aspects of Star Wars weren't killed by the Prequels and are still there.
lmao i should have kept watching for like 8 more minutes...
Ideally, episode 1 and 2 should be mashed into one movie, the new episode 2 would be about clone wars (which is the best thing about prequels era) and the episode 3 would be mostly unchanged
David sounds like someone who would have abandoned the Jedi order because he doesn't like how they use the Force and would join the Dark Side
I didn't watch the prequels for years because of the whole "they are crap" fan backlash but I've re-watched them recently and they are... fine? they are movies made for children and I had fun with them as a mid 30's year old. The latest trilogy however I saw in theaters and don't remember a thing about them, totally forgettable. Though rogue one was a lot of fun and my 4th favorite in the franchise
Made for children is the most pathetic excuse you can make. There are so many examples that destroy that fallacy that its genuinely embarrassing that grown adults can still think that way. Please tell me one memorable character in these films (including rogue one) that was not acted by McGredgor. You watched a film that was functional and extrapolated that it is therefore ok. Thats not how critique works.
As Joshi said. The prequels and rogue one from a functional perspective are superb. A lot of talented people went into making the props and atmosphere of those films. If a robot was to see them it would be give them 10/10 because it would only understand a film based on what is purely observable. And thats the point. People that think about films beyond what you are literally looking at would be able to tell that the prequels and rogue one have appalling pacing, no memorable character due to poor writing, and nothing to remember beyond what was functionally there. The red letter medie review of rogue one does a great job of outing this idea that if a film merely functions at the most basic level, then its somehow ok. That how a child would interpretes reality, and sometimes not even that.
@@enjoshi-godrez8775 Anakin, Palpatine, Dooku, General Grievous, Darth Maul, Mace Windu, Yoda, Qui-Gon Jinn, Padme, Watto and of course Obi-Wan.
You negative guys remind me of the story from the set of a new hope. Mark Hamill was asking “shouldn’t my hair be wet” the scene after the trash compactor and Harrison Ford chimed in with “it ain’t that kind of movie kid”. Feel free to disagree with me I’m just putting my experience out there for comparison
what movie was riley talking about when he says it has a similar thing to the emperor getting his scars from lightning?
Someone could definitely do a "lost footage version." Where they use still frames to "reconstruct" a scene. I've seen that on old films where the only copies left are missing scenes for whatever reason. And of course the legendary La Jetee
Anakin doesn't kill Padme. It's Palpatine.
I don't think the prequels "ruined" The Force, per se, but I do think the prequels focused on the wrong things to add interesting twists to, just as the sequels did. There always has to be some sort of lightsaber gimmick or some sort of vehicle gimmick or something. Why not make The Force and how different people use it more interesting, rather than having these canned aspects such as Force Lightning supposedly being a strictly "bad" power?
Honestly, The Force doesn't really make much sense, anyway. Why do Jedi even need lightsabers or weapons in general? Shouldn't they be able to repurpose a Force Push or something to strike an enemy from a distance or block physical attacks without need of a physical weapon? The Force is one of the most disappointing aspects of the entire series, as it's never really explored for its combat abilities with any sort of depth.
Oh, actually, I've got a potentially slightly more interesting idea: justify the use of lightsabers by making them a tool to use in lieu of The Force, with Sith being the ones who use The Force for combat and that somehow being what sours them and makes them evil or whatever. Maybe the Jedi are only supposed to use The Force to build, create, heal, etc. In either case, anything's more interesting than what they've been doing with it.
@@kubev don't get me wrong, i love the prequels and am just getting back into sw after being a nut for it as a kid just because i like it, including for it's pulpiness for want of a better term, but i've always had a similar peeve re: new lightsaber designs feeling gimmicky n the combat becoming all spinny and flippy. some of that choreography is amazing and makes for an intense fight (obi wan vs maul after the energy gates open after qui gon's been stabbed for e.g.), a lot is mediocre or ridiculous and crap (in part thanks to the direction, looking at u RotS finale) but even when i do like them i love the OT duels more for their emotional tension between the players involved.
when people complain about sw, others often counter 'lighten up! they're kids films meant for kids ffs!' this isn't a legitimate counter to legitimate criticism of the quality of writing or direction etc of a film smh. kids deserve quality too. having said that, i've always had the distinct impression all the gimmicky light sabres (and people wielding two at the same time for e.g. as well) were just to make it 'cool' to kids and to sell toys. i don't actually mind maul and his double, as that was the first time we'd had a change up, and being the first he was a cool character and was wasted being killed off so early so definitely should have got more of him imo.
duelling
also, even as a kid i've always also had the idea of how much i'd love to see our heroes use weapons in (what would be considered in contrast to the usual) unusual ways as tools for problem solving and helping etc. and not necessarily always for violence, no matter if in self defence. would be so cool to see this and add another dimension to how our heroes get out of trouble or find solutions to problems and help people, so definitely with you on that (your thoughts on force are interesting too)
at the beginning of this I was a little bothered by how much you guys talked about the fact that you watched a fan edit and the implications instead of focusing on the movies, but then I noticed it was a great way of addressing whats important and what means what. nice job.
Objectively they are bad movies BUT nostalgia and the fight at the end of ROTS make up for it
Please just do an episode 3 review
Clone wars seasons 2-7. Tack in the final 40 minutes from ep III and voila. You have great prequels.
You could've just reviewed episode 3... You guys gave brief opinions on it but you didn't even rewatch it before this fan edit, why not just actually review the movie?
I didn't see the prequels as a young kid like a lot of people my age did, I saw them for the first time as a teenager, and I maintain to this day that there is not a single redeeming quality in any of the three movies. They're unwatchable.
14:50 WHO of Fett?
You need to watch Chip and Dale rescue rangers
The Stranger Things baddie this season was channeling Anakin big time.
I finally watched The Chosen One, and yeah, I was kind of surprised at the stuff they kept in versus the stuff they cut. I know it'd probably take a long time, and it'd probably force me to watch these movies a hell of a lot more than I'd want to, but I'm half tempted to create a really aggressive cut similar to this one that doesn't bother to compensate for natural transitions between scenes and such. That said, I imagine it was painful to leave some of this stuff in, as George Lucas did seem to have a knack for throwing dumb shit into scenes in which the dialog is pretty important to the overall story. I stand behind my previous statement that an edit like this needs a Kung-Pow-style dub. It'd probably be easier to make something cohesive.
Riley has star energy
Great, now do the Topher Grace edit of the prequels
Ril;ey - you're spot on about Williams' music, and audiences so often have no idea that the reason they like something is because the score is manipulating them emotionally... which is the job of a good composer, after all. :) (BTW Filoni isn't on the Obi Wan production team.) EDIT: re. Palpatine's face, I'd always assumed, from the moment we saw him as a senator in The Phantom Menace, that his scarred wrinkly face was just his *real* face, and the fact he looked normal was just him using his power to disguise himself. I assumed at some point during RoTS when he'd reveal himself, he'd just drop the disguise and let everyone see his real face. It would have been so awesome because it would have shown just how powerful Palpatine is - that he could have concealed his actual face for years, from everyone around him, like a Sith mind trick en masse. The way they actually did it was sooo crushingly disappointing in its stupidity and huge missed opportunity.
I prefer "A Phantom Edit."
Its on my plex.
the clone wars tv show is the only retcon I accept.
I'm still confused and surprised that Canadian Softball's Peev Shalpatine is allowed to exist
So many of the fights in these movies I can't help but compare to Family Guy chicken fights.
that jacen solo thing riley explained at the end, I haven't read it, but it sounded to me like it was a major dune rip off. The bene gesserit do exactly that (not the scratching part, but the self manipulation and feeling)
Also, John Williams is the primary composer of the Obi-Wan series.
Guys, the Obi Wan Kenobi show, ep. 1 intro already did a good job showing us how of Star War Ep. 1 to 3 ended to me.
That's was how the these movie should of been like. Lol.
I am upset. I wanted a Revenge of the Sith episode
I must have watched a different "chosen one" fan edit. Mine had the chase scene with Jango fett, it showed anakins hand being chopped off, it had the scene where kbi Wan complains about flying, it showed a bunch of the Droid fight, and it didn't have any flash backs. Odd
The main theme for Obi-Wan Kenobi is John Williams.
How do you fix perfection?
Carpool critics was an insanely better name.
*coughs* There are examples of both force jumps and slow falls in Empire.
I think I must be the only person that wishes the prequels were longer. Especially episodes 2 and 3. That being said I adore the prequels and love the world they built there.
The only other Star Wars movie I enjoy nearly as much is episode 6. Episode 5 is my least favorite I think, and 4 is pretty close to that.
I still don’t know how I rate the sequels yet.
Episode 5 your least favourite? Wow. Most feel It's the best movie of the whole franchise, myself included.
@@Glen0cide yeah, that seems to be the opinion of the majority. I’ve just never liked it very much, myself.
@@Glen0cide Honestly I feel like episodes 2 and 5 are quite similar, and am surprised at how different the fanbase feels about them. They both split the narrative into two after an attack on something important (a VIP senator and a secret base respectively), with the Skywalker going on a journey of self-discovery while his companion(s) go on to find support (and pursue the bounty hunter in Obi-Wan's case) while being intercepted by enemies. Towards the end they reunite, albeit somewhat earlier in 2, and there is a confrontation between Skywalker and the baddie where he loses his arm and has to be saved.
I myself am not a great fan of 5, since it feels somewhat unfocused and there's no real "big plot" where everyone comes together to do something by the end; instead, Luke suddenly reunites with the team when he is saved, but Han is already gone and he lost an arm and has to lick his wounds. In 2 everyone reunites for the battle of Geonosis. The title as well, "The Empire Strikes Back", doesn't feel all that important when no main character really dies or anything (Han gets kidnapped, but that's solved early in 6 so whatever). It doesn't have the impact of a loss just because a secret base is attacked, since we've never seen it in 4 and don't get attached to it before the big fight.
George Lucas actually change the look of the emperor in the original movies to look more like the prequels. I believe they originally use the image of an ape superimposed onto a woman's face.
Soooo.... George stole the emperor's ape?
I want to hear more about this Mace WinTwo character.
Padme should have hid the kids from Anakin on purpose, because she didn't trust him anymore. And in his rage, demanding she return them or tell him where they are, he kills her.
RRR stands for rise roar revolt
Also thank u for reviewing it. 💓
timestamps?
James hit the nail on the head for me, kinda feeling like Star Wars always sucked.
The king of Star Wars prequel fanedits remains Hal9000's cuts - same basic story, but he cut a lot of the overly goofy jokes (like Jar Jar stepping in shit and tasing himself with the pod racer) and hammy dialogue ("i hate sand"). It doesn't turn the films into A New Hope or Empire Strikes Back, but it definitely makes them more watchable with 20min of crap pulled out of each.
The only thing that can fix the prequels was the clone wars tv show
but prequel 1 and 2 don't exist
I would probably enjoy a baahubali review much more than an RRR review.. There much to debate over.. Now I suppose I have to sit and watch RRR.. Well one is a fan fic of mythological characters and other is a fan fic of historical figures iirc
#Palpachines
#JarWars
Watch "RRR"
Its the most entertaining movie of this year
Do The Hobbit fan edit
check out the hal 9000 edits
I love this podcast, but you guys need to do moon Knight dude
I donno
I haven't seen the edit, but I do have a couple of thoughts about Star Wars in general.
I definitely agree with Riley, the fact of the matter is that Star Wars has always been cheesy, it's always had questionable directing, dialogue and plot points, at times it was downright predictable in terms of the story being told. But when the movies were released, the combination of a very easily palatable story, an incredible soundtrack and visual effects that were basically groundbreaking led to people ignoring the weaker parts of the movies. Star Wars became a hit and it captured people's imagination. It was Lord of the Rings, except you would actually want to live in the Star Wars universe, you would actually want to have these great adventures, and all the meanwhile you imagined that epic soundtrack booming when you flew your spaceship and guided it via the force.
The soundtrack evokes an epic fantasy world, not a sci-fi one, the horns, the violins, the drums, they immediately captured the minds of a whole lot of people. And through the music and the universe (that's keener on creating a certain atmosphere and a "vibe" than something grounded) that Star Wars resides in, it became a global hit. In my opinion the characters, while pretty good after getting a lot of character development through the movies (and in cases decades of books), were never the high point of Star Wars. I would not care nearly as much about Luke, or Vader, or Han Solo in any other setting, they're at their core, mildly interesting characters with very old, already treaded on motivations.
What I would care about would be an exploration of the Star Wars world, the universe is so, so good to get lost in, the books that explore the universe, create new concepts while respecting the mysticism and spirituality of the OT are some of the best ones in Star Wars. I think the focus of Star Wars being this Skywalker saga, or the Chosen one saga, is what made it so boring and stale. The Skywalker story ended pretty nicely in Return of the Jedi, we did not need 6 more films and who knows how many tv shows or animated series treading on the same ground. I understand that using characters which are already developed is a really easy way to create content and of course merch. But come on, it's a universe where basically anything you will can exist, you don't have to spend your time with outright uninteresting characters and locations.
The games do such a better job of exploring what Star Wars is that it's insane. Fallen Order, while ripe with its own set of problems, is an absolute gift to Star Wars fans. Because though the worlds are small, the life within them basically nonexistent. It still captures that feeling of being on an adventure inside this wonderful universe, while retaining the themes of mysticism, spirituality and finding the power in yourself. Fallen Order might be formulaic at times, but damn if it isn't some of the best Star Wars content in years, because it allows you to lose yourself in it. The same was true for KOTOR, the same was true for the Darth Bane trilogy of books.
You know what unites all of those media properties? They don't have any emphasis on any already established characters. They're just good enough stories told in a Star Wars universe. The exact same thing is true with Rogue One. It's a war movie that's set in the Star Wars universe. It would be an alright story on its own, but the second you add that unique Star Wars flavour it's just elevated for a lot of people, because it's a fucking great fantasy universe. 1/2
The prequels struggled for a lot of reasons, and apart from the story being meh, the dialogue being atrocious at times, the directing being a weak point in the first two movies, and the very dated CGI. What I think made prequels weak for me, as a Star Wars fan that grew up with these films, fell in love with everything Star Wars and then came back to them, was that they made Star Wars feel less mystical, less spiritual. Nothing in Star Wars makes any sense, why would anyone use lightsabers when you have this incredible force (hehe) that can literally lift up tonnes and tonnes of material. Why is the force used in such a limited way? Why are lightsaber fights just glorified spars? It doesn't make a lick of sense, and yet these stupid omissions creates these vibrant communities that come up with all sorts of theories and ideas that again capture your imagination. Not everything in Star Wars need to be explained, in fact some things should remain in this gray area of - explainable, but purposefully mystical, but there are some glaring omissions from the movies and Tv shows that just leave you scratching your head.
I think the stronger parts of the prequels were what Riley mentioned. The fact that the Jedi have lost their ways, that they are obviously very blinded to the real world, the struggles of the real world outside of their temple and how rigid the Jedi order has become. It's subtle throughout the films but it's definitely there, and it would've been awesome if that aspect was explored more, because again that would be exploring the universe more, what are Jedi turning a blind eye to, what has made them this secluded and rigid, what makes them think that they're so righteous, why is a separatist movement gaining ground, how does it all tie into the force. Imagine a character in the prequels that saw the Jedi for what they had become, but instead of destroying it like Dooku or Anakin, they tried to change it from within, a character that struggled with the force telling them one thing while the Jedi said another.
This doesn't mean that you can't enjoy goofy and at times awesome lightsaber fights, that you can't enjoy the cheesiness of Star Wars, and that you can't have a laugh about it. I enjoy the prequels despite their shortcomings, because at the end of the day you can just enjoy the fact that it's a silly story with silly characters but in an incredible world, and they at least made an effort to expand that world and to expand your wonder about that world. I would never enjoy them if they weren't Star Wars, but because they are, they can be enjoyable. 2/2
So I wrote way too much, but I guess I had a bit more than a couple of thoughts on Star Wars. I really enjoyed this episode guys, it made me think about what Star Wars kind of was for me and what it meant for me. I've always enjoyed writing about the Star Wars universe, and getting lost in it. The thoughts here are very much personal to me and others might not share the opinion, but still. The episode was a good motivator for me to jot down all of these ideas and thoughts I've had about Star Wars for more than 10 years now.
am I the only one who sees hitching while watching the video. It was pretty bad last week as well.
Star Wars gives the loudest fans exactly what they ask for every time. We have a problem with those loud fans not with the Star Wars business.
I actually prefer this fan edit biggest issue with Prequel Trilogy it’s boring and nothing interesting is happening majority of the films In my opinion the only interesting part is when Anakin is on screen and the Prequel Trilogy felt like it should of been one movie
Yes the fan edit is not great movie because the movies it’s working with is not really good
I feel like if you going to watch the Prequel Trilogy you’ll be better off watching this fan edit this gives understanding of the Prequel Trilogy without taking 7 hours of your life majority is boring this one is watchable unlike The Prequel Trilogy movies separately
Vis a vis James' "It's for kids." Argument, fair enough, but kids aren't idiots. They're just ignorant and don't know a lot, but that doesn't mean they deserve idiotic, vegetative state-inducing content that talks down to them. I really hate seeing the "hey it's for kids, so who cares if it sucks?" mentality out there. I know James isn't about that life, but yeah. Grinds my gears. Kids deserve better.
Nah this is basically just people complaining about the Prequels. They don't need fixing, they are good, it does have good acting, the writing was fine. Y'all just the types haten to hate.
The films that need fixing are the sequels.
hardly disagree the worst part of the prequels is the third episode - the first episode could have been a lot better tho with darth jarjar less anikan and more jedi stuff - the second episode is the best again would have been better tho with less anikan and more obi-wan clones and bounty hounter scenes
I mean attack of the clones has the cringe dialed up to 1000, anakin is at his absolute worst. The cgi is at its worst, particularly in the first half hour. They made yoda a beyblade, obi wan has an 80s haircut for some reason and they ride a rhino.
@@klebyell there might be some truth to what you say but i don’t see most of the points you mentioned as strictly negative i hate most anakin scenes anyways but the bounty hunter scenes and the battle of geonosis are awesome the only good thing in episode three is the opening scenes in the space, kenobi on uthapau, windus arrest attempt until anikan shows up and yodas battle with the emperor
@@nilst3791 those are large chunks of the film dude, like you listed most of the major parts of revenge of the sith, personally I've always found them making yoda a beyblade a cardinal sin.
If you cut out all the bad parts of the prequels, how do you end up with 3 hours of movie? Give me all the main Jedi fights and loop duel of the fates. Should be like 40 minutes tops.
lol
How about the last 3??? After saying how the first 3 is the worst trilogy.. I felt nothing for the new movies..
When you watch Star Wars or Indiana, or even Willow after the last few decades of movies you can see now we are trying way too hard in too many ways...
The prequels are basically cartoons - albeit with live action and piss-poor cgi. The style, the dialog, the acting, and barrell-rolls/spinning around in fight scenes, ARE ALL straight out of Saturday morning cartoon shows. Absolutely terrible.
I know there are people out there, who say the sequel trilogy is worse than the prequels. These people need help ... 🤨
The discussion Riley started when going into the nitpicks section is one I had recently with a friend:
I am not really a star wars fan, but I enjoyed lego star wars, Battlefront and swtor back in the day and Fallen Order today, but I never really understood how Star Wars got as highly praised and famous as it is.
You can totally see how one person would become a fan, but it never seemed to me that the quality of Star Wars justifies the size of its following.
In fact, it's quite odd to me that Riley used to be a huge Star Wars fan but also pays attention to lore so much, as almost nothing in Star Wars really makes sense when going into the details of it, how force powers are used is a great example, but you can see it everywhere
So much hate on the prequels... Sad it is.
Hey everyone, you want to watch 3 dudes crap on Star Wars for an hour and a half?? Because that's what this amounts to... I'm not saying that the Prequels are good. Once you take off the rose-tinted glasses, a lot of it is pretty egregious. But this seems like they didn't focus on the merits of the edit as much as tangentially just talk about all the things wrong with Star Wars
Watching the AWFUL sequel movies makes me appreciate the prequels even more.
The prequels are peak Star Wars, in my opinion. There's a "best Star Wars" for every fan and Episode 1-3 are head and shoulders above all the rest for me.
Wow I didnt know virgins like this still exist 0o0
Episode 3 is one of the best films made in the 21st century.
Nope
Lets face it Stars Wars wasn't a great movie.. Nostalgia.
1-3 I don't mind, beople whinge about Jaja(?) like theres no dorks in the universe, looking at 3 😘
The prequels are better star wars stories then the original trilogy
Ugh covering Star Wars all the time isn't enough? You've got to cover fan edits of the prequels?
Wth bro they are much better than rhe oridinals are you kidding meeee???
Thats some bullcrap you just love the originals for nostalga it sucks
1 2 3 amazing 4 5 6 ok 7 8 9 crap
RRR is not worth it. 4/10.
