Just a quick question, did any of you feel anything during the fall of the jedi? When it was showing Jedi masters like aayla secura, Ki adi Mundi, and Plo Koon being betrayed and killed by their own troops?
RIP Commander Gree

yeah. that was my favorite sequence of the prequels. mostly because of the lack of dialogue. the cinematography and music was incredible. i felt chills.

Okay. How about when Qui-gon died, the clones showing up at Genosis, when Mace windu is thrown out the window?

These are just scenes off the top of my head that gave me emotional connection.

ive already explained my argument time and time again. please, by all means, keep riding lucas' gangrene infected dick, but im done here.
And you keep riding Mike Stoklasa's.

*shrug*
Because no human being on the planet Earth ever harbored any negative feelings towards the prequels until Red Letter Media came along.
I'm willing to bet Azumarill probably got 90% of his arguments against the prequels from him.

That's not a bad thing, necessarily, but...

meh... qui gon's death didnt affect me much because we only had him around for such a short time. the clone rescue was well done, visually. i liked seeing the jedi unsheath their sabers in the arena. mace windu's death still doesnt make any sense to me... i cant comprehend why anakin did that, aside from, again, being a delusional naive idiot. but it did affect me. i got mad. really angry. i wanted to throw anakin out the window.

He was around for the entire movie.

i cant comprehend why anakin did that,
come the fuck on

really

it's a drama scene--you're not supposed to agree with what he did
hence, "what have i done!?"

i mean, when you have 5 hours of criticism, some of it is bound to overlap with pre-existing criticism.

that all makes sense. But you're supposed to be mad at Anakin. He is betraying the jedi order after all. What seems like a stupid choice to you, someone who can think rationally and clearly about the situation. In high pressure situations like that, people don't think rationally. And being affected by the force AND Sidious, who knows what could've been going through his conflicted head.

and he does seem instantly regretful which just adds to how conflicted he is.

thats fair.

and that only makes sidious' demise all the more meaningful. How vader finally has his emotions in check and was able to break free of Sidious' exertion and make a more rational decision. And even than Vader still seemed conflicted before throwing Sidious' off the ledge.

I was a fan of EU at the time, so yes for some.

Now that the clone wars has happened and shizzle, poor Plo Koon :(

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
