    Makes sense. Those people are ancient. The 6 movies are fine it is the crap Disney stuff that sucks. Apparently I am a “bad” Star Wars fan if I don’t subscribe to DRM based streaming where you own nothing. Also the idea that there is a story line after the end is dumb and poorly done.

        They are definitely more of an appeal to pathos. Unlike the sequels the prequels go from good to evil. It is a sad story plays out that ultimately leads into the sequels.

          I feel like people don’t give 3 enough credit for really going there with the tragic ending, fully committing to having everything go to shit to set up the original trilogy

        They are, the dialogue is absolutely horrendous. There is a reason is has been memed to death.

        That said young kids enjoy it. Sabers go wonwon, blasters go pew pew. And watch them go crazy for that pod race scene.

          This is exactly why I roll my eyes at the people who are rabidly angry at the sequel trilogy. We’ve seen all this happen before, and it turns out no matter how bad we think it is, there’s still a group that gets something special out of it. It wasn’t cool for me to take the prequels so seriously and hate on them while a whole new generation of Star Wars fans were just getting into it. At the time, the kids loved Jar-Jar!

          I’m not fond of the sequel trilogy. But I honestly think episode 8 was the best of the lot. And if there’s people who like what these movies are, then that’s a good thing for them

            I’d rather kids watch smart movies like The Iron Giant but it’s hard to argue Star Wars has a lot of cool stuff kids will enjoy immensely.

            Yeah the prequels have horrible dialogue, bad direction (making a mostly fantastic cast look bad) and many questionable choices. I couldn’t rewatch most of it myself but hating them is a bit strong especially if somebody else is getting harmless enjoyment of it.

          If you think the dialogue and such in the original trilogy is so much better than you must be blinded by nostalgia. The cheesy dialogue is present in all 6 movies, and so is the childishness. A certain amount of that george lucas cringe is actually necessary imo.

            Nah, we’ve been rewatching the OG trilogy and it isn’t fantastic but some of the actors manage to deliver the cheesy dialogue with some confidence.

            People quote Han Solo and not in the Star Wars meme way. And I’ll pick the Han/Leia hate-flirt any day of the week over the Anakin/Padme creepmantic dialogue.

          They are, the dialogue is absolutely horrendous.

          “I wish I could wish away my feelings”

          “I’ve been dying a little bit each day since you came back into my life”

        I can get chill and watch 5 of the 6. I refuse the jar jar movie. I heard his goddamn patois one time in theaters and it was more than enough.

        I like the alternate order which mixes the two trilogies together: ep 4,5,2,3,6. No ep 1! boooooo!

          Good, laws are shit anyway. Especially copyright laws.

          I guess if you don’t want it that’s fair. It is though the best way to obtain things like the hogwarts game where we don’t want to give money to the author. Not that that is my sort of game, but I have obtained copies for other people.
