You didn’t talk about the fact that Darth Maul tried to run over Anakin on Tatooine with his speeder. At that point in the movie, Maul had no idea who he was or his significance, he just wanted hit some random kid with his bike.

If youre a sith lord pretending to be a politician youd want to have a lot of middle men if youre going to assasinate a senator. If i remember correctly he wasnt discovered so the plan makes sense and it worked.
@@JayJaycubbsgod fucking damnnnnn. I have seen you under almost every comment for 4 months now. Get a fucking life. These movies are BAD movies. Sorry but your childhood didn’t produce good movies. It’s fine if you like Them but having the audacity to say they are good is delusional
I always like to imagine that Palpatine's big secret is actually that he has no fucking clue what's going on, and the whole series is him just faking it until it works.
George Lucas: The Phantom Menace is more targeted towards kids... Also George Lucas: "The taxation of trade routes to outlying star systems" 6 year old me: ah yes big words
To be more specific he says it’s a movie for 12 year olds. Idk about everyone else but but I think most middle schoolers are probably familiar with the trade routes.
Well it’s not a major concern of the movie either. They briefly talk about it at the start of the opening crawl and palpatine mentions it again on time during the senate meeting. Most of the movie is focused on the invasion of naboo itself not why the political motivations behind it. Even Lucas himself said it wasn’t important when interviewed.
And that assassin would've sent their r2 unit who would've communicated with a satellite which would have sent a message to another assassin who would've sent jar jar binks sister to go kill padme.
And in real life, the bugs and Padme agree to fake her death, which then gets transmitted all the way back to Palpatine, and then everyone involved in the job (including the robot and bugs) are arrested Wait that’s just the Chinese hitmen incident
Star Wars was always about politics. The Empire are basically space nazis. And if you tell how a dictatorship is created than you have to talk about politics, even more. So yeah, I never understood that criticism. The integration of politics is only natural and I never found it to be boring as a child. No child did. They just ignore the lines they don't get.
@@Ambar42 I think the politics was definitely needed but I think I would have shown it in a more engaging action-packed blockbuster way. Also it should complement the story not really be the main causes of the story or dominate most actions of the story. I think if it was more like that, it would be better, I liked the addition of politics but politics could've been handled a lot better.
I do kinda respect the audacity of these movies. It was like George wanted to write a Shakespearean tragedy, worked backwards from the Darth Vader concept, and tripped every step of the way. And there is a good story buried somewhere in these movies, there was just nobody to tell George "no."
Which is an interesting comment since apparently George was constantly accepting the cast's questions and observations That's how Windu ended up having a purple saber and Yoda does a saber toss
And it could have been such a Shakespearean like story for Anakin to turn to the dark side. But unfortunately that story is buried under so much bullshit. It’s too dense and too bloated to actually focus on Anakin.
Apparently George had actually been reaching out to other directors like Steven Spielberg, but none of them wanted to work on the films in fear of damaging the franchises' legacy. He was basically left to manage almost all creative elements of the Prequels, and so his weaknesses (dialogue, etc) were far more prevalent than they ever were in the Original Trilogy.
Not exactly apparently Padme dies through a combination of Anakin, choking her into unconsciousness, and Palpatine, apparently taking her life force to give to Anakin on Mustafar now correct me if I’m wrong because I’m not fully integrated into all of the Star Wars lore but after pulling from all sorts of different sources, about this moment, that I have memories of. It seems like the most likely scenario based on what I remember
@@Daniel-gp6sd Bruh what the fuck are you smoking?! There was a clear time skip between Episode 2 and Episode 3 and the former even ends with the start of the Clone Wars. How in the hell is that "just as bad" as Palpatine comning back to life off screen between Episode 6 and Episode 9?
Conrad Kujur Right? No one in these movies act like real people with emotions. It isn’t that they are Jedi, or that they’re from space, it’s that the dialogue is really bad and the actors weren’t told how to delivery these lines in an believable way. That’s a failure of direction
And the saddest thing is that i don't have problems with the story but that dialogue... Also, remember awful George Lucas dialogue since A New Hope. You see Obiwan's development through the prequels, and going back to his fight against Vader in A New Hope is very clunky: *"Only a Master of Evil Darth"* .
Return of The Jedi: *"From a certain point of View"* . I will not say anything about the sequel trilogy because George himself said that there is no episode VII. The sequels aren't canon and simply Disney's greed.
Imagine if, with Obi-Wan hanging on for dear life after being Force-pushed by Darth Maul to end their fight, Maul walks away because the war around him is lost. Obi-Wan jumps out of the hole and cradles Qui-Gon's lifeless body in his arms. Now, we have a setup for Obi-Wan's rivalry with Maul through the other two films. Maul killed his mentor, and Obi-Wan wasn't strong enough to kill Maul, and Maul will only become more powerful in the Dark Side. Now, we have something to look forward to, and we're rooted in Obi-Wan's desire to want to fight Maul again. Instead, what we got was George inventing a new villain in the second movie then inventing another new villain in the third movie because he wanted to kill the second new villain early in the third movie despite this second villain showing he's so powerful that he can stand up to Yoda. It just doesn't make sense.
You forgot how in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, Count Dooku literally EXPLAINS to Obi-Wan who Darth Sidious is and that he created both the armies, which Obi-Wan just doesn’t believe and ignores
@@snake3516 he could have still told the Jedi counsel or launched some kind of investigation just to be sure, in real life if a politician claims he knows that another politician is doing something wrong then the government always launches an investigation even if they think the accusations are false I mean it’s the equivalent of a member of the Taliban claiming to work with joe Biden and nobody doing anything about it
@@vivalleTFT word. People really forget that they didn’t exist when the prequels came out and how much plot holes got fixed after they got created in the first place
a BIG issue with these movies is that george also wanted to expand mediums, comic books, tv shows, etc. but then they made so many new things it was hard to keep track and then ALL OF IT WAS FAKE I GUESS
If you’re talking about most of that shit being Legends now I feel like it really doesn’t matter since The Clone Wars is all you really need and is still cannon and shit like the Genndy Tartakovsky animation was already decanonized by that show. Also doesn’t help that there was a live action show on Coruscant that would seemingly explain more stuff and had like 80 episodes planned out but then they just never made it lol. Regardless, it still baffles me that Lucas would make a trilogy that would cryptically allude to shit like “Cypher Diaz” and expected anybody to have a reaction other than annoyance and confusion.
Remember when Count Dooku straight up told Obi Wan that there was a Sith Lord operating in the senate, and manipulating the jedi? Remember when Obi Wan was basically like "Ok Boomer"?
@Sam Lim yeah but still it's not a good excuse for them being idiots I like how they ignore emotions which led to Anakin's fall but there are sometimes these jedi council feel like a moron clan
@@a.f9234 It kind of works in hindsight, like the way TLJ portrayed it, but when you have actors performing a script like this it just comes across as stupidity rather than arrogance.
@@professorsuge Whether it is or not is a seperate discussion, I just wrote that the exploration of the jedi being flawed worked better in that movie and made me rethink the prequels.
I just realized that nobody that gets thrown into a hole dies in Star Wars. Darth Maul? Came back (Clone Wars + Rebels). Palpatine? Is coming back (Episode 9). Luke (Empire)? Gets saved by the Falcon(Leia, Chewie etc.). Luke, again (Rancor, Episode 6)? Survives. Boba Fett (Sarlacc Pit)? He survived in Legends and might have survived in canon. It is ridiculous.
@@noahvoss7320 I wouldn't say that, it's not to their fault that they dislike three fantastic films. They just don't like them for one reason or another and that's perfectly fine.
The sequel trilogy story just sucks, dude. I’m sorry, but with the prequel trilogy you can make sense of (at least) most of it but the sequel trilogy makes no damn sense and it’s so self-important it’s frustrating
Not of itself. Being a pastiche of tropes and other movies is something (Tarantino does it) but redoing your own movie (A New Hope) and calling it a new one (Force Awakens) is ridiculous and a complete waste of time and money. Would you have liked if Empire Strikes back had been a remake of A New Hope?
@@ngs2683 I understand your point and I myself didn't love Force Awakens and I did think it was too derivative at times but I forgave it because it needed to reel general Audiences back into Star Wars. Remember that this was the first Star Wars film in 10 years and the last 3 were Despised to no end, so they had to reel the Audience back in with something safe and familiar before they could really start exploring new themes and ideas. Last Jedi was also quite Derivative of ESBs story structure but also tries to explore new ideas and themes as well as subvert the Audiences expectations and even though it didn't do it perfectly and I do think that the ideas could've been polished, it's really trying to do something new. Rise of Skywalker... no that movie's just terrible.
It's the fault of the people that bullied him. No one forced them to be horrible people. Star Wars didn't ruin it. The people did. Perhaps it did ruin his acting career but that's it
I never even thought about that until now. So little makes sense in those movies my brain just gets foggy and I don't think about it but I still get confused.
i think its so funny how both the final movie of the prequel and sequel trilogy start with a universe altering event that involves palpatine and happens off screen for some reason
The section about Jar Jar is so true. Even in Red Letter Media’s video on Phantom Menace there’s a really funny scene where he asks people to name personality traits of the main characters and they couldn’t do it for the episode 1 characters. The only one I could actually do that for in the prequels was Jar Jar.
@@knightmare5097 So can anyone if they really reach hard enough but "stoic" "boring" or "serious" aren't great especially if most of the characters are like that.
Darth Jar Jar was the best defense, because that unironically turned people around on his character concept and made people wish he was featured more in the trilogy
That, and the fact that Ahmed Best, the guy who played Jar Jar, was really devastated by the amount of hate against Jar Jar that he almost killed himself. What's worse is that had he done so, some people would've been happy.
During the filming of Attack of The Clones, Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen, in their scenes together, played a prank on George Lucas by pretending they had never acted before. Lucas loved the prank so much, he ended up using most of the footage in the final cut.
soldier tf2 I wont lie, I was ready to believe it considering the visual evidence we got from the movie haha (not even their faults, its just the direction)
The idea of midichlorians is just so goofy to me. You don't need to explain supernatural. In the five night's at freddy's franchise, the creator tried to provide a scientific explanation to why the robots are possessed. Nobody needs that.
That's a very good comparison. And just like midichlorians, remnant (the fnaf explanation) removes a lot of interest in the supernatrual. Boiling shit like that down to simple science is boring as hell.
"You don't need science or evolutionary theories to explain how the Earth and life on it was formed. We all know that it was created in 7 days by some invisible deity only 6000 years ago. You don't need to explain supernatural"
To be fair, it makes some sense that Palpatine would have a long chain of people in order to have Padme killed so that he can cover his tracks and seem innocent and have an alibi. However, that still doesn’t mean that Marcus’ explanation of Palpatine’s plan isn’t the funniest fricking thing on the internet.
@@JayJaycubbs right Neut Gunray wanted “her head on [his] desk”. He was behind the assassination attempts, not Palpatine. Palpatine just took advantage of the situation to promote his own agenda, that’s what makes him truly formidable. It’s not that he knows everything that’s going to happen before it happens, it’s that he’s able to innovate and adapt to any situation.
@@Benjahmin1138 it’s a combination of both. Palpatine used the failed assassination attempt as an opportunity to keep Padme away from voting against an army by sending her to Naboo, as well as to foster a relationship between her and Anakin. Which he uses to further his goal in RotS. But he is very strong with the force and he can see visions to an extent. Which he mentions numerous times in the original trilogy, so that helped him too
@@moonbounce3797 More of a backhanded compliment cause he's literally saying that the music is popping off while "nothing" is happening on screen, and the fact that he's gone to the effort to edit out out all the action from the scenes to include just the slower moments suggests pretty clearly he has the intent to misrepresent the scenes to fit his twisted narrative.
I have watched attack of the clones so many times in my life and I could not tell you one thing that happens in that movie. I get like brain fog everytime it comes on and just sit there watching it without grasping anything of what im watching
I wish so badly they used the shape shifter thing to frame someone or something. I love when cool little details are added for literally no reason and they add nothing but confusion to the plot. Great story telling that is
"I HATE YOU!" is one of the most memed lines in the history of Star Wars but it's also one of the only lines in all 3 movies that has believable emotion behind it.
Yeah, but at that point it's a useless line considering the fight gets absolutely ridiculous to the point of laughter when they fall from some tower and stand in droids flowing through some lava river or whatever, the I hate you line could've worked in any other way
Palpatine didn't want Padme dead here. He wanted her to feel threatened so she could leave Coruscant and allow him to come into power without opposition as she was against the clone army. So, why would he want someone important like Jango or Dooku to try and assassinate her themselves? They would likely succeed or end up dying which at least increases the likelihood of his plan failing. Also, how would the Changer girl be able to assassinate Padme without the droid or the bugs? She wouldn't be able to just sneak in as the Jedi were guarding her.
@@donaldjgumpofficial5754 Why would they need to sneak in when there's a huge window made of glass(because Obi-won can jump through it) with the blinds open. Also, what good does it do to make assumptions that the movie doesn't give us? You might as well tell me an invisible dragon made of chocolate is the secret puppetmaster behind Palpatine, because the movie doesn't tell us that either but it's just as plausible.
@@donaldjgumpofficial5754 Also, I'd like to point out that killing her would *also* negate her as opposition against the clone army. Since apparently they can just put Jarjar there in her absence and he votes in favor of it.
And then he dies...only to somehow secretly manipulate Leia and Han's son to take over some new invading force and train his granddaughter to be powerful enough to be a new vessel...yeah...why?
@@crocs4304 In TF2, there's a map called High Tower. While technically a payload map, the community considers it a team death match where moving the bomb cart is discouraged unless both teams agree to end the match. The result is a bunch of headless chickens running around hosting dance parties, sniper/spy duels, and that one asshole running a gunslinger in an active attempt to ruin the fun. In essence, the Clone Wars are High Tower. Technically, there's an end goal. However, there's a secret arbitrary agreement set by a third party that prevents anyone from actually winning. As a result, the Clone Wars are a series of expensive battles, hostage situations that can't involve any important people, and some red asshole actively trying to wrest away control of the war.
Well the Clone Wars was largely fought on objectives. I don't know if Sidious limiting the construction of devastating new CIS droids is canon anymore. But a lot of the battles make sense on why they happened. Utapau, Geonosis, Kamino, Kashyyyk you name them.

People forgiving the prequals because the sequals sucked a little more is like forgiving someone for pissing in your cereal because someone else took a shit on your pancakes. That's just two egregious acts in a row
So Gunray asked Palpatine to kill Padme but he sends Dooku who sends a man, who sends a shape shifter, who sends a robot, who sends bug, TO GO KILL PADME!!!
I remember telling my dad about the prequels and he wasn’t very amused. He also would be annoyed whenever I referred to A New Hope because back when he went to see the movie it was just called “Star Wars”.
Same here. My dad saw the original in theaters as well, and as for myself I honestly just pretend the prequels aren;t from the same universe. IV is always going to be just "Star Wars" to me.
@@kylecope528 Yeah, I honestly can’t consider them within the same universe myself, which annoys me so much because it could’ve been so much better. I always liked Clone Wars because it really felt like a deep dive of Anakin to me, truly analyzing the character in a way that makes him actually a good person in the beginning. If they had that same kind of character in these prequels, I would’ve never thought of them as bad as I do now.
Exactly. I am tired though of fans who claim the Clone Wars somehow "redeems" the prequels, as if a failed movie can some how be made better by adding on supplementary material to make up for poor screenwriting decisions. The prequels could have been much better. I see Jude Law as a young Obi-wan aside an actor more resembling Sebastian Shaw (That's one benefit The Clone Wars had--Anakin's model looked more like something that could grow up into the unmasked Vader we see at the end of Jedi.), with enough complexity surrounding Anakin's turn so that it felt like an authentic Greek tragedy rather than a recap of the backstory with a fridged wife added into the mix. I would have liked to see more of Anakin struggling not just with the tenants of the Jedi, but also with the the efficacy of the Old Republic as opposed to a rising dictatorial regime (something we see only once in AOTC).
TheycallmeRisky Another one is in the clone wars I believe there’s a scene of anakins Padawan asking him if he would be willing to teach a class of children Jedi I forgot what you call them but Anakin says I would probably kill them
I'm regularly unironically defending the Prequels, but this passage: "Palpatine sent Dooku, who sent Jango Feet, who sent Zam, who sent a robot, who sent bugs" This was absolutely hilarious, my best laugh of the last seven days
@@mcdolan1526 Hello McDolan, I'm not an English native but I still consider my English to be pretty good and I always strive to improve. What's wrong with the passage you quoted?
Prequels were garbage, when Sequels and Rogue One cane out It was oxygen for me, because nothing disapponted me more then the prequels: poor plot, poor acting, poor dialogs, poor cgi, only A-list charachters demolition.
Even as a child I knew that these three films weren't very good. Why? Because I always skipped forwards to the action scenes with the cool fight choreography and amazing music. I only did this with very few movies. Also realizing the entire chain of handing the job to kill Padme to someone/something else had me in stitches.
And it's pretty clear that he only fought him to see how strong Palpatine truly was as a sith lord. Once he got a taste, he realized there wasn't much chance.
Even if Yoda won the fight, it wouldn't have changed anything. The Jedi were done for and as Palpatine said, Vader would be more powerful than either of them. That's why it was useless for Yoda to even try, Palpatine already won in the grand scheme of things before the fight even started. It's the Sith way for the apprentice to kill the Master, and I'm sure Palpatine was expecting that. As Anakin said to Padme he could overthrow them. I imagine he went into exile because he would have been easily killed by clone troopers as well as Vader who hunted down the remaining Jedi.

Having a good experience with something, will make you view it in a positive light, and having a bad experience, will make you view it in a negative light, I enjoyed the prequals, because they were also my childhood films, they gave many others that same magic and mystery that the original trilogy did back in the 70s. If anything, the prequals do have fantastic world building.
funnily enough one of the first things i noticed on a rewatch is how inconsistent the scoring in the phantom menace is. when it’s there it’s great but it’s definitely absent in some weird spots (the first half of the podracing scene) apparently not even the music can be wholly good lol
But after showing up near the end of AOTC, he's killed right at the beginning of ROTS. Would have been awesome if Christopher Lee had got more screen time. He was so wasted in those movies!
George: “please, John, your music in the originals was so good, you’re my only hope” John: “well, I do have this one banger I call ‘Duel of the Fates’” George: “Say no more! Grab that and a couple other new tracks and we can just remix the old music for the rest!”

Have you watched the prequels in recent years? Have you ever paid attention to character development, stakes, world-building, choreography, or consistency while watching these movies? If you did, you would clearly see, why the prequels are superior to the sequels in every aspect other than broad visuals. The prequels tell an actual story with a clear throughline and thought put into it while heavily expanding on the OT without ever conflicting with it. The sequels achieve the exact opposite.
honestly as boring and lifeless these movies are I’m glad they helped create something good like the clone wars show and overall expanded the universe in a positive way.
"Secretly genius, these prequels are! Many original ideas, these movies have!" The plot rant had me laughing out loud, but that ending absolutely destroyed me.
What bother me is that why didn't anyone told George that his dialogue for The Prequel trilogy was bad, before shooting, and why can't George not see that his dialogue is garbage
Oh shit, I don't know the plot of Phantom Menace. I _thought_ I did, but when I actually stopped to remember what it was, I only remember bits and pieces, I have no idea why those guys were after Amidala or what the political issues were
I feel that my opinion on these movies became way better after I saw the clone wars show. It doesnt change the problems with these movies but it gives all the context that these movies missed and gives the characters all the development the movies didn't
I think that's fair to an extent, but ultimately the movies need to hold up on their own. If you have a movie trilogy, you should be able to understand it just by watching the movies in it. You can't introduce someone to the movies and expect them to watch an entire tv show at the same time to understand it. It's like when people excuse bad film adaptations not explaining important elements of the plot properly because "it's explained in the books". The movie should be able to function on its own. If these films don't make sense without watching the TV show, they failed.

In an alternate scene, they were going to have the bugs get on a communicator and hire another assassin.
No, I refuse, they obviously would've hired that assassin beforehand and offscreen.
Stg I saw the cut scene at a film fest one yesr
Who would hire another assassin, to go kill Padame
And that assassin would've sent their r2 unit who would've communicated with a satellite which would have sent a message to another assassin who would've sent jar jar binks sister to go kill padme.
And in real life, the bugs and Padme agree to fake her death, which then gets transmitted all the way back to Palpatine, and then everyone involved in the job (including the robot and bugs) are arrested
Wait that’s just the Chinese hitmen incident
The line “What was it about politics that had George so horny” is one I still think about nearly 3 years later.
Star Wars was always about politics. The Empire are basically space nazis. And if you tell how a dictatorship is created than you have to talk about politics, even more. So yeah, I never understood that criticism. The integration of politics is only natural and I never found it to be boring as a child. No child did. They just ignore the lines they don't get.
@@scintilla3957 But they don't think of it as bad... so it's not bad.
@@Ambar42 The issue is that it's quite a lot of the movies.
@@Ambar42 I think the politics was definitely needed but I think I would have shown it in a more engaging action-packed blockbuster way.
Also it should complement the story not really be the main causes of the story or dominate most actions of the story. I think if it was more like that, it would be better, I liked the addition of politics but politics could've been handled a lot better.

I do kinda respect the audacity of these movies. It was like George wanted to write a Shakespearean tragedy, worked backwards from the Darth Vader concept, and tripped every step of the way. And there is a good story buried somewhere in these movies, there was just nobody to tell George "no."
Which is an interesting comment since apparently George was constantly accepting the cast's questions and observations
That's how Windu ended up having a purple saber and Yoda does a saber toss
@@Sukaiba69 those are cool, but they’re just small, inconsequential details in the grand scheme of things. It’s the writing overall that needs work
And it could have been such a Shakespearean like story for Anakin to turn to the dark side.
But unfortunately that story is buried under so much bullshit. It’s too dense and too bloated to actually focus on Anakin.
@@Sukaiba69a purple lightsaber and a saber toss does not change the plot, dialogue, and acting
Apparently George had actually been reaching out to other directors like Steven Spielberg, but none of them wanted to work on the films in fear of damaging the franchises' legacy. He was basically left to manage almost all creative elements of the Prequels, and so his weaknesses (dialogue, etc) were far more prevalent than they ever were in the Original Trilogy.
All those people hired to kill Padme and in the end it was a broken heart that killed her.
Not exactly apparently Padme dies through a combination of Anakin, choking her into unconsciousness, and Palpatine, apparently taking her life force to give to Anakin on Mustafar now correct me if I’m wrong because I’m not fully integrated into all of the Star Wars lore but after pulling from all sorts of different sources, about this moment, that I have memories of.

Conrad Kujur Right? No one in these movies act like real people with emotions. It isn’t that they are Jedi, or that they’re from space, it’s that the dialogue is really bad and the actors weren’t told how to delivery these lines in an believable way. That’s a failure of direction
My childhood has been eviscerated. And all I could do was watch helplessly.
And the saddest thing is that i don't have problems with the story but that dialogue...
Also, remember awful George Lucas dialogue since A New Hope.
You see Obiwan's development through the prequels, and going back to his fight against Vader in A New Hope is very clunky:
*"Only a Master of Evil Darth"* .

*"From a certain point of View"* .

"darth maul and obi wan should have had a rivalry through all 3 movies"
clone wars fans: "wwwelllll"
yeah of only this was shown in the movies
Imagine if, with Obi-Wan hanging on for dear life after being Force-pushed by Darth Maul to end their fight, Maul walks away because the war around him is lost. Obi-Wan jumps out of the hole and cradles Qui-Gon's lifeless body in his arms. Now, we have a setup for Obi-Wan's rivalry with Maul through the other two films. Maul killed his mentor, and Obi-Wan wasn't strong enough to kill Maul, and Maul will only become more powerful in the Dark Side. Now, we have something to look forward to, and we're rooted in Obi-Wan's desire to want to fight Maul again. Instead, what we got was George inventing a new villain in the second movie then inventing another new villain in the third movie because he wanted to kill the second new villain early in the third movie despite this second villain showing he's so powerful that he can stand up to Yoda. It just doesn't make sense.

Palpatine didn't want Padme dead here. He wanted her to feel threatened so she could leave Coruscant and allow him to come into power without opposition as she was against the clone army. So, why would he want someone important like Jango or Dooku to try and assassinate her themselves? They would likely succeed or end up dying which at least increases the likelihood of his plan failing. Also, how would the Changer girl be able to assassinate Padme without the droid or the bugs?

In TF2, there's a map called High Tower.

The result is a bunch of headless chickens running around hosting dance parties, sniper/spy duels, and that one asshole running a gunslinger in an active attempt to ruin the fun.
In essence, the Clone Wars are High Tower. Technically, there's an end goal. However, there's a secret arbitrary agreement set by a third party that prevents anyone from actually winning. As a result, the Clone Wars are a series of expensive battles, hostage situations that can't involve any important people, and some red asshole actively trying to wrest away control of the war.

If they had that same kind of character in these prequels, I would’ve never thought of them as bad as I do now.
Exactly. I am tired though of fans who claim the Clone Wars somehow "redeems" the prequels, as if a failed movie can some how be made better by adding on supplementary material to make up for poor screenwriting decisions. The prequels could have been much better. I see Jude Law as a young Obi-wan aside an actor more resembling Sebastian Shaw (That's one benefit The Clone Wars had--Anakin's model looked more like something that could grow up into the unmasked Vader we see at the end of Jedi.), with enough complexity surrounding Anakin's turn so that it felt like an authentic Greek tragedy rather than a recap of the backstory with a fridged wife added into the mix. I would have liked to see more of Anakin struggling not just with the tenants of the Jedi, but also with the the efficacy of the Old Republic as opposed to a rising dictatorial regime (something we see only once in AOTC).

I'm regularly unironically defending the Prequels, but this passage:
"Palpatine sent Dooku, who sent Jango Feet, who sent Zam, who sent a robot, who sent bugs"
This was absolutely hilarious, my best laugh of the last seven days
What happened 7 days ago that was so funny?
Palpatine sends a man,
Who sends a man,
Who sends a shapeshifter,
Who sends a robot,
Who sends bugs
To Go KiLl PaDmE!!!!!!!!
It never occurred to me just how many assholes had to delegate that job before Obi-Wan decided to jump out a window.

Prequels were garbage, when Sequels and Rogue One cane out It was oxygen for me, because nothing disapponted me more then the prequels: poor plot, poor acting, poor dialogs, poor cgi, only A-list charachters demolition.
Prequels are better than the sequels, and no amount of deleting and reposting your comment will change that

Even as a child I knew that these three films weren't very good. Why? Because I always skipped forwards to the action scenes with the cool fight choreography and amazing music.
I only did this with very few movies.
Also realizing the entire chain of handing the job to kill Padme to someone/something else had me in stitches.
That sounds like something any kid would do lol.
"He didn't even try."
I mean do or do not, there is no try.
And it's pretty clear that he only fought him to see how strong Palpatine truly was as a sith lord. Once he got a taste, he realized there wasn't much chance.
@@vaevictus4637 so basically yoda went out like a bitch
fair enough
Even if Yoda won the fight, it wouldn't have changed anything. The Jedi were done for and as Palpatine said, Vader would be more powerful than either of them. That's why it was useless for Yoda to even try, Palpatine already won in the grand scheme of things before the fight even started. It's the Sith way for the apprentice to kill the Master, and I'm sure Palpatine was expecting that. As Anakin said to Padme he could overthrow them. I imagine he went into exile because he would have been easily killed by clone troopers as well as Vader who hunted down the remaining Jedi.

@@21Handguns the joke was that the prequels were good.
@@xzx_lag2974 no,the joke was the review shitting on the movies was good. Learn to read
@XZX _LAG because they are to alot of fans, including me. Having a good experience with something, will make you view it in a positive light, and having a bad experience, will make you view it in a negative light, I enjoyed the prequals, because they were also my childhood films, they gave many others that same magic and mystery that the original trilogy did back in the 70s.
If anything, the prequals do have fantastic world building.
funnily enough one of the first things i noticed on a rewatch is how inconsistent the scoring in the phantom menace is. when it’s there it’s great but it’s definitely absent in some weird spots (the first half of the podracing scene) apparently not even the music can be wholly good lol
Normally this would be a meme, but I’m being 100% honest when I say LEGO Star Wars conveyed the plot of the phantom menace better than the movie did
What you just said is a big-brained fact.
Playittilitshot and it did so with absolutely no dialogue
Playittilitshot Huh? The plot was portrayed perfectly fine.
@@bing2879 except for the politics which comprise of at least half of the prequels
Wesley yes, but those politics are part of the fucking plot
I didn't know the shapeshifter was a shapeshifter in aotc. I honestly thought the dart shot by jango just made her skin dry up and shrink
They do refer to her as a Changeling...
Anakin: "I think _he_ is a _she_ and _she_ is a changeling."
Omg i thought i was the only one!
I also thought hat was the case.
Haha me too dude
They did such a horrible job of showing or setting up her being a changeling. It was pointless too.
38:50 “Dooku never becomes a real threat”
Dooku: *cuts off Ani’s arm and KOs Obi-Wan TWICE*
But after showing up near the end of AOTC, he's killed right at the beginning of ROTS. Would have been awesome if Christopher Lee had got more screen time. He was so wasted in those movies!
George: “please, John, your music in the originals was so good, you’re my only hope”

he specifically picked bad scene from prequels and the best from sequels, pick Luke drinking blue milk or any Rey scene, or you can also pick Luke kissing Leia in OT, what is that about, it's clear manipulation
@@pizzaquatroformagi868 The only manipulation being done here is your brain rationalizing these awful movies into being good somehow.
@@MosheGames so prequels are worse than sequels in your opinion, failed copy of OT trilogy with cameos and owerpowered characters that have no character? Enlighten me sir
Literally bro
Have you watched the prequels in recent years? Have you ever paid attention to character development, stakes, world-building, choreography, or consistency while watching these movies?
If you did, you would clearly see, why the prequels are superior to the sequels in every aspect other than broad visuals. The prequels tell an actual story with a clear throughline and thought put into it while heavily expanding on the OT without ever conflicting with it. The sequels achieve the exact opposite.
honestly as boring and lifeless these movies are I’m glad they helped create something good like the clone wars show and overall expanded the universe in a positive way.
Is it bad these movies make more sense in the LEGO games?
nope, The first time I got throught phantom menace was as a lego star wars game

Completely agree!! Clone wars made me REALLY enjoy the prequels and I used to dislike them
I think that's fair to an extent, but ultimately the movies need to hold up on their own. If you have a movie trilogy, you should be able to understand it just by watching the movies in it. You can't introduce someone to the movies and expect them to watch an entire tv show at the same time to understand it. It's like when people excuse bad film adaptations not explaining important elements of the plot properly because "it's explained in the books". The movie should be able to function on its own. If these films don't make sense without watching the TV show, they failed.
@@ClaraFinnthankfully these movies make perfect sense on their own. It’s just a matter of paying attention instead of ignoring blatant information to make some sort of false narrative that nobody in their right mind would agree with
