I vehemently disagree with you, and yes I think the battle of Endor as opposed to something like Hoth where it actually felt like the Empire had a brain, was wacky.
What else was wrong with the pacing, specifically?
And Hoth was pretty silly. Those giant walker things with the legs? And you destroy them by wrapping a tether cord around them a bunch of times? C'mon.
I just felt there was almost nothing going on in between the few set piece moments in episode 1. It was big action/excitement, followed by like half an hour of them sitting around doing nothing almost every time. And also for that final battle, why would they go out in an open field to fight an army when they're in a fortified position in the city? It makes no sense and was obviously a distraction. And no, I liked the AT-AT's because it showed more creative stuff in the Star Wars universe. It doesn't all have to be WW2 with blasters reskinned over it. Also it was a tow cable which was insanely thick and stuff. Silly, but I felt it was creative. I felt with space ships flying around and infantry on the ground, it was a bit more of a believable fight. And the Empire didn't actually lose that at all. Unlike in episode 6 where they lost to a bunch of midget tribals.

it's hard to defend some of the stuff that happens in II, even as ardent as a prequel defender as i am
it's still better than dogshit though
It's hard to defend anything in 1 minus the pod racing and duel at the end. The pacing of that movie was god awful.
the podracing was actually the only thing i didn't like
it was a fun scene, but it went on for way too long
other than that, the pacing was fine
Yeah but there is a difference between things being grounded in reality, and just being completely whacky.
was the battle of endor really that wacky
really

1 is a lot better when you consider Lucas's original plan for the series.
What was his original plans? I don't think that matters at all though. Regardless of how you "intend" for something to come out, it doesn't change what we actually got.

i mean really, people call my opinions bad when they can't even come up with a proper reason to dislike RotJ
other than "ewoks shouldn't be able to kill stormtroopers" (as if star wars has ever been grounded in reality)
ugh

That's odd, I've never received that impression of him from anyone.
Napoleon has always been the cool guy.
Really? Anytime his character is used in tv shows, movies it's always in a negative light. The majority of the population also tends to be under the misconception that he was a small and angry man, because of "Napoleon Complex".
He seems fairly well-respected in Continental Europe. Brits probably have some cultural hangover of dislike for him, given that he tried to invade us.
Can confirm my british friends hate him

I don't want there to be a romance between them, but it has nothing to do with the fact that he's black or she's white.

BF4 is a pathetic joke and an inherently broken game.
It was at launch but it's fine now. Still doesn't excuse that though. It'll always be remembered as a broken game.

The audience can quickly learn who everyone is from watching the movie. As I said, everything you need to know about Padme is presented in 3. She's Anakins wife, she's preggers, and she's going to die. The audience can see Anakins fall from this alone due to the fact he's willing to do anything to save her. The Clone Wars were mentioned in ANH, the republic preceded the empire, all of the troopers sound the same, they all look the same, they're called clones in the movie. It's not that confusing. Your website is assuming that everyone is retarded.
There is a difference from just telling someone something, and then seeing their relationships actually evolve. That's why I say 2 is essential in it. Same with the clones. It's rather stupid to just say "Oh they're there to help" when the movie in 3 doesn't explain them at all. You say the website is assuming everyone is retarded, but you also assume everyone will know who's who at the mention of a name and what they do.

The imminence of his wife's death and his desperation to save her through any means necessary fulfills the same role.
It still adds to the weight of it though, along with some context on Dooku, his relationship with Palpatine, and getting with Padme too (though I hate to even bring up that point). It shows his rebellious teenage side and then the 3rd shows more anger to add onto it.
The one that is easily skippable is the 1st one.
His relationship to Palpy is easily gathered by the viewer and explained in RotS, how he got with Padme is irrelevant since what matters about her transpires during RotS. Dooku is a bad guy, that's all we ever learned in AotC, that's all we ever ended with in RotS. Nothing important is really exposed to the audience about him during the films and you had to read books, read comics, or watch cartoons to learn anything about him. His "rebellious teenage side" can be seen in RotS. Everything the viewer needs to know about Ani and his relationships with other people can be seen in that movie.
I don't recommend this. Every character you need to know for Episode III who was introduced in Episode I is reintroduced in Episode II with a quick line of dialogue, but Episode III just assumes you know who everyone is. Ham-handed as it is, Anakin's love for Padme is the ultimate reason for his fall to the dark side, and Episode II has most of that. Additionally, without seeing the Clone Army being created in Episode II, seeing the Jedi fight alongside them in III would be extremely confusing, since they look almost exactly like Stormtroopers in III. Narratively, I don't think skipping II works. http://www.nomachetejuggling.com/2011/11/11/the-star-wars-saga-suggested-viewing-order/This is pretty interesting, and yes my post was a quote steam from that. I'm too lazy and inelegant to put it into better words atm. Off I go to sleep too. If you reply I'll get back to you tomorrow <3

Goddamnit, he's here.
I didn't think that I'd be recognized here. Ah well.
Don't worry, you won't see any "microwave it" posts here. I stopped doing that months ago.
Be a kind lad and pls tell me what "microwave it" means. If you got people reacting like the post above, I need to know.

The prequels are great.
I enjoyed them this time around but fuck episode 1. I don't care what you say, that movie is now my most hated one, as it is not relevant to anything really in the entire series, and just Jar Jar and the long periods of nothingness between podracing/duel of fates. Just bepfhpfnvdds no

Alternatively you could just skip AotC and just watch RotS. Nothing important happens in TPM and AotC. Everything relevant to Anakin and his fall is shown in RotS.
His mother dying, and his lust for power showing him slowly descend are an important part of AoTC.

It's probably because he was on the losing side, and the loser always seems to have a more negative view for whatever reason. That and he destroyed Holy Roman Empire senpai.
But yeah, he helped transform Europe and did quite a few things that helped the common people and law.
