So Fox News apparently manages to "call out" Star Wars and its Fanbase.

Well, I guess, yeah an amount of people don't really understand why and just have natural bias towards original. The prequels just have so many noticeable flaws and the only redeeming feature seems to be whether or not you are woo'd by the CG, which gets harder and harder as they age.

"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.

The appeal of the OT is pure nostalgia--nothing more. They're complete shit, with the exception of RotJ (which is, funnily enough, the one everyone likes the least in the OT).

That sounds like a whole lot of opinions that shouldn't be thought of as fact for peeps who have studied cinema all of their life and would notice the difference tbh.

I feel like our difference is more about which we hate more rather than which we like more. The OT weren't that exceptional or groundbreakng, and were pretty tropey and had some of the same trite the prequels were guilty of.

But the prequels just...fucking were so bad. The characters were either ridiculous or non-existent. Obi-wan in Phantom Menace acted cool and reserved (actually just annoyed the entire time) while Liam Neeson played Liam Neeson trying to be the "wise elder" when really he time and time again does some questionable and retarded shit thanks to Lucas not knowing how to write. Then we're forced into a plot in a world that doesn't really make much sense for what was explained. In a New Hope our driving force was the Empire killing Luke's family, and a distant message from a damsel in distress, cliched, but it is a plot that actually gives the plot weight and emotion. In PM we get "muh space trade routes" and "muh space politics", like it's trying to be some immersive sci-fi universe but any and all delving into the logic of the plot just gives you a slap in the face. Just because there is some dead air in New Hope doesn't really mean that episode one throwing in Jar-Jar electrocuting his tongue is a meaningful scene.

Speaking of Jar-Jar, who the fuck are these prequels aimed at? Kids? Why the fuck do we have such long scenes of boring space politics? Adult fans of the lore and universe? Why the fuck do we have such a fucked plot that makes no sense and blatant holes in the story and useless gimmick scenes and

god it's a mess

the OT at least had coherency, the prequels is like they just tried to cram in every possible thing that they thought ANY demographic would go "oooooo" at

If you're going to bash the prequels, at least bash shit that's worth bashing.

Namely, unnecessarily long scenes that are just trying to show off CG (the podrace scene).

Practical effects are something I have a lot of respect for, and it's something the original trilogy had, so I respect that.
CG is lame, but at least the prequels' CG was good.

Also, I hated the constant nostalgia pandering in the prequels. Bringing back Jabba was stupid, and making it so Anakin was the one who built C-3P0 was... just nonsensical. I don't really consider these things big issues, though, and they're easy for me to gloss over, just like 90% of what prequel haters say.

He showed legitimate emotion only at the end of the film. Quite honestly the only other emotion I can remember him exhibiting is moderate surprise at Anakin's power level.

Quote
Like what? Without looking at the RedLetterMedia review (which is 90% nitpicking).
Just because the plot of the movie makes an action trivial doesn't mean it is nitpicking at the time it happens. Going down to the planet split up? Why? What? That literally doesn't reduce your chances of being caught unless it was a very specific location in the ship that couldn't fit both of you, which wasn't the case. This is supposed to be the character we trust to be wise? The only reason any of the obvious possibilities don't happen is Lucas writing it.

I guess you could write off him abusing the force to get what he wants as a character trait, tbh I kind of like that idea now that I think about it. The problem is though that doesn't give Obi-Wan proper room to develop. He just sits back and nags. If it weren't for Quigon dying in the end we wouldn't even be able to walk away thinking there was a definitive main character or at primary character arch. And the events of the movie were largely inconsequential to his development anyways, everything that changed in Obi-Wan would have changed anyways had the last scene happened anywhere at any time.

Quote
Made sense to me. Try... paying attention more? I dunno.
Why are they blocking trade to Naboo? Palpatine told them too? What is Palpatine holding on the side of the bargain? What supplies are they blocking to Naboo, Naboo is a planet what supplies do they need that they can't go without for barely anytime at all?

Quote
So how do you explain how it didn't have any weight or emotion?
What exactly were the consequences of the Naboo invasion? I mean like, they forced a signature for a treaty, so what? I don't even know what "trade" even entails. I don't know why any of this is happening. The characters aren't particularly relatable and they aren't people really down on their luck and in a bad situation other than the Nabooian. Too bad the main Naboo character we meet is literally monotone. Anakin actually is someone you feel bad for, being a slave and what not. But his actor just didn't portray it well most of the time, it's hard to feel the stress of him literally racing for his freedom when he doesn't even seem to understand the bet placed on his head. Instead it's more or less just the stress of a death race itself. Everything else that happens in the movie is pretty much entirely out of his control. The space battle was a big fucking accident.


Quote
Jar Jar was a good character.

Why? Does he develop? He sort of just does the same clumbsy annoying act throughout the movie and by the power of writing things happen around him. Nothing he does is a result of his agency except for leading the Jedi to the Gunga city.
Quote
The entire Star Wars franchise is for kids, yes. Surprise, surprise.
Well obviously not exclusively as you said below.
Quote

Adults can understand slapstick, kids can't understand space politics. Besides, there are more interesting ways to deliver exposition than monotone droning that we get in the political mind of George Lucas.

And?
Movies are more than assorted picture shows.
