Quote from: Prime Megaten on October 18, 2015, 10:44:01 PMThe chase scene on Corusant went on for like, 15 minutes longer than it should have. A mixture of mediocre CGI and terrible pacing make it hard to remember anything significant that happened outside of anything related to the Clones (because that was the only important part other than Anakin's massacre that wasn't a butchered mess).The chase scene was only ten minutes and was divided into two distinct sections--let's not be silly here. You don't have to like the scene, but it wasn't too long.How does CGI affect your ability to remember shit? It wasn't even that bad, certainly not "mediocre"...And I didn't really think the pacing was bad, either. I dunno.

It's more mature, it's darker, it's not friendly friends going adventuring against bad guys for fun!

It has an ending that doesn't leave much hope for the good guys--I think that's just what the second film in a trilogy is supposed to do. I wouldn't go so far to say that it isn't still a family-friendly fairytale.
Are you sure it was only 10 minutes? Because the last time I watched it I ended up fast forwarding through it because it just dragged on forever. Like, that entire scene is to me what Hoth is to you. It's just not good. The CGI doesn't make the pace bad (that's not what I'm saying lol), the pacing sucking combined with mediocre CGI makes the CGI, which would otherwise be overlooked in a good film, more of a glaring fault. Even before the chase itself, it's just Anakin being angsty and infatuated with Padmé. One of those things that I would always skip if it didn't have relevance (inside the film, not the series).And then there's the romance subplot that somehow managed to take up a good chunk of the movie, when it should have been like 5 minutes of continuous romance at MOST. I realize you already agree with that, but holy fuck what was Lucas thinking?Everything on Geonosis until the Clones show up is just mediocre.
Phantom menace was by far the best of the prequels. Y'all niggas act like Darth Maul doesn't exist. Dude was bad fucking ass.Do you not remember how hard your dick got when he hit the double sided lightsaber for the first time?
That and they walked everywhere. They found out Palpatine was the emperor and instead of running they just... walk like they would any other meeting.
The Clone Wars made Anakin's fall to the dark side about six times more believable, but that doesn't excuse the rapid switch he makes in ROTS.
YouTubeTell me these effects are mediocre.I fucking love that sound.

After the acquisition, Disney and Lucasfilm established Lucasfilm Story Group, a committee whose job is to keep track of and define the "canon" in an effort to unify the films, comics, and other media with the existing canon.On April 25, 2014, Lucasfilm and Disney revised the franchise's canon. They announced that the existing six films and The Clone Wars television series are the "immovable objects" of Star Wars storytelling. Previously published material has been relabeled under a "Legends" label, and future content will present a different vision of people, places and events after Return of the Jedi. They also announced that all future Star Wars stories will be connected and on equal canon level as the films, with guidance coming from the Star Wars story group. Additionally, it was announced that the films of the sequel trilogy will not follow the same story as that of the Expanded Universe works taking place after the events of Return of the Jedi. The first official canon novel in the revised continuity was Star Wars: A New Dawn by John Jackson Miller, which is a prequel novel to Star Wars Rebels. It was released September 2, 2014.

Oversaturated? Okay, fine. It's George Lucas. But mediocre? Nuh-uh. Especially not for the time. That scene where C-3PO is bumbling around that big foundary? How don't you remember that?I still don't see how the pacing's bad, either. I realize you don't remember the movie that much, but surely you could come up with some examples...
The Droid factory was just a clusterfuck of like three different "Oh no! The hero is in trouble!" sequences where we already knew two out of three would be fine (because they are in the original trilogy)

The hero is in trouble!" sequences where we already knew two out of three would be fine (because they are in the original trilogy)This is actually a pretty good point. I can understand how a lot of the tension would be lost, considering you basically already know that everyone who is in peril will survive, because they literally have to. That's a good point, and it's one of the unavoidable flaws of having a set of prequels. There's no real conflict in the sense that all the characters have plot armor.That's why the prequels tried to be more of a character study, though. Whether or not it did a good job is up to you. I think they did a great job.
Worst to Top Star Wars Movie?
