The weird thing about the sequels is the weird amount of people coping and saying they’re not that bad. It’s literally bad fanfiction written by people who couldn’t care less about the franchise.
As someone not interested in star wars I can’t wait for in ten 10 years time when suddenly liking the sequel trilogy is cool just like how the prequels were hated then became cool to like.
It’s like poetry, it rhymes
I think there’s a difference between how they were hated and what parts people liked.
The prequels people hate because Jar-Jar, and some other comic relief characters, were annoying, and also (especially episode 1) how slow they can be. Overall, the stories were liked I think.
The sequels people like for the action and entertainment, but you totally have to ignore the story for them to not fall apart. It constantly contradicts itself (and the existing lessons, like the OP) and only works to weaken the universe.
Basically, their opposites to each other. I think the difference is people can come to enjoy the world of the prequels and get past the bad bits (or skip them), but the analysis and growing recognition of the failures of the sequels will only get larger with time as we spend more time with them.
The prequels are bad movies. But they tell an interesting story and have a unique setting. The sequels are also bad movies, but they’re a disjointed chaotic mess that just rehashes the original trilogy. There’s nothing to redeem.
The prequels are pretty solid outside of maybe the middle of Attack of the clones. The lightsaver battles and special effects are way better
Idk, I’m nostalgic for the prequels because I grew up with them, but if they were released now and I had only seen the original trilogy I would’ve made the these comments about them too. Wat frustrates me the most about the sequels is that there’s just no coherent plot. It’s so obvious that everyone was just writing whatever without looking at the bigger picture. They could’ve went with this and actually gone somewhere. But 8 was just an exercise in doing everything the viewer didn’t expect or want until it got way too frustrating without actually going anywhere and 9 was just a clusterfuck because it tried desperately to get an epic conclusion on a completely incoherent trilogy.
7 was already flawed, but if 8 and 9 had further established how the First Order got so large, who Snoke was, etc it could’ve been acceptable. I totally see the “Luke gets disillusioned and isolates himself” spin even if I’d prefer a “Luke slaps the shit out of everyone” story. It gave the new characters some space. But that space wasn’t used.
Its almost like the movies didn’t have a sole. That happens when you are a Disney executive
Maybe Midichlorians correlate highly with Dementia?
Midichlorians are the powerhouse of the force.
Episode 7: Derivative but fun
Episode 8: Pure trash
Episode 9: Desperately trying to piece together the plot
Episode 7: derivative boredom
Episode 8: I like thi—WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING? WHY??
Episode 9: JJ desperately trying to piece together a plot
“Poe commits mutiny for the 12th time; learns nothing.”
What if I told you that there were only 6 movies ever made
