The Star Wars Prequels are actually good.

What a title am I right? 

Im willing to bet there will be an instant reaction to the title alone in the form of "nah the prequels suck. There is only one trilogy"  by about half who read.

But did you explore into why you hold that opinion? 

I grew up when the prequels were released. I had see the original films before Ep. I but the prequels were my first real dive into star wars. They hold a special place for me and are apart of some of my favorite childhood memories which is im sure the case for older fans in relation to the originals. 

I stumbled across this documentary on youtube about the prequels/geogre lucas/star wars/cinema/etc and it really makes you think. For you older fans I think it would do you good to watch it as I think it just might change you opinion of the prequels and teach you something about the films you otherwise might have overlooked,

 

This is the trailer to the documentary 

 

 

This is the First 10 minutes to the Documentary

 

And this is the link the full documentary which is 2.99 but highly worth it imo

 

 

Hopefully this sparks some discussion. @Darth Biscuit should really watch this an educate himself. but what do i know im just a failed film school drop out or something

I'll watch the video when I can sure...  the prequels have their place, and while I don't think they compare in any way to the original series, they do move the canon along.

 

Dont compare in ANY way? Only sith deals in absolutes. 

Poor choice of words there's actually a lot of comparisons. 

And the prequels actually did the effects better. 

But definitely watch the documentary

Yeah I should have said "in quality" (re the writing and dialogue) in there... was in between meetings earlier today.  Still don't have wifi, will watch later.

 

Also, have you not noticed my avatar? :)

I think the prequels are pretty good. I think Hayden Christensen gets a lot of unfair criticism that was largely due to an awkward script and bad direction by Lucas. The character should have been given more motivations in the plot itself.

The biggest change I would have liked to have had happen would be allowing Darth Maul to survive the first film. Let him be the Sith that Anakin must face in Episode 3 instead of Dooku. Would have been an epic battle. 

Everyone likes to crown the original trilogy. But honestly if you go back and watch them the acting isn't THAT much better than the prequels and the saber battles were obviously inferior and look obviously staged(Due to tech at the time).

You two are prime candidates to watch the documentary. 

 

Especially when it comes to your opinions on film making, direction and dialogue

I'll check it out for sure. I remember watching a behind the scenes clips from Episode 3 and Lucas was basically telling Hayden how to deliver the lines in one scene. In the acting world that is a big no no.

My view: Attack of the Clones is embarrasing.  The adventures of Obi-Wan were the saving grace of the prequels but AotC is really difficult to watch...even more so than Phantom Menace which had a cool villain and Liam Schindler.

      Deebo wants out of SF, and our current odds are high

      By frankw · Posted

      This is from 5 months ago. It was one or the other. Trade for one or draft one. We apparently called the Jets about Wilson. We also talked to the Seahawks about Metcalf. Drafting our own guy was the best course of action given the required investment. Regardless now is the time for Bryce Young to produce. We are fourth amongst all teams in cap spending on the OL. Back to back first round picks at WR and multiple young TE draft picks now. Very solid and respectable backfield. New pieces across the defense. The time is now.

      Get ready for ‘SUPER MEN: The inside story of the 2015 Carolina Panthers’

      By Basbear · Posted

      That was just the worst time to have their worst game of the season. One key deal was the broncos guess the Panthers would NOT change any plays or flow to the game. Another key point overlook that bronco defense was truly one of the best in the NFL history. It was the best defense the Panthers faced that year, by far. They were not ready for it, but broncos were ready for the Panthers. Mix in that bad luck, poor refs showcase, and this is the golden boys last game........ Panthers needed to win by 20 and the broncos defense was not going to allow that.  Panthers were the favorites and I believe they also thought that it was going to easier than them destroying NFC playoff teams as they marched to the SB. I've heard darin Gantt say the play calls were to give remmers help, but for some reason the team never did it. During the year they never had that problem, so maybe never practiced giving help via TE/RB, or WR chip. Cam was superman that year, no need for any adjustments...... Until you meet a legendary defense with studs at all levels, Think about it, Peyton was throwing wingless dunks for the whole season, the defense had to carry his corpse to the SB. That's how good they were, not many defense are able to get to the playoffs and win a SB without decent QB play. If you recall the beginning of that defense took Tim Teblows and his non-throwing arse to the playoffs couple years before. That's insane the level of defense needed to overcome.
