Better without Ep1+2 being made?

after the disappointing EP1+2 does anyone feel it would have been better if they were never made and there was only the original trilogy?

i wanted ep1+2 to be great but they really werent
-there were some good moments but overall they are poor films.

wrong section

imho, EpI was what it was, an intro, more of an RPG adventure
EpII had the trouble of getting Anakin and Padme together but made it up with some action that was needed to develop the story (the cloners, the empire being made and the clone wars)
imho, with only finishing the ends, EpIII still has a great deal of potential

yep yep wrong section and.....

Moving.

And no, I do not feel that at all, not even slightly.

I have to agree with Ushgarak and yerssot. I'm glad GL did the prequels, but I do think he could have gone about it a different way. I still enjoy the movies though.

i dunno, i just think they are both so bad, they could have been good.

ep3 was always going to be the best, i just hope it lives up to his potential.

Yup!

Same.

P.S> FJ; I love your signature quotes...👆

will none of you admit that ep1+2 were bad films, that let the saga down?

Episode 1+2 were, and still are really bad films to watch. The truth is 4, 5 and 6 should have been 1,2 and 3 but Gerge Lucas evidently wanted to expand the story (and his wallet) by filling our heads with all that CGI
crap. So yes, it did let the whole saga down.

its a shame really, ep1+2 couldve/shouldve been great
-imagine a story being told over 6 great films.

instead now we have two cgi kids films, (ep3?) the classic trilogy

ep3 has a lot riding on it.

Sorry, it's nothing to do with 'admitting' it. I just think you are wrong.

funny, you claim they're kids stories, and at the time the OT came out some claimed that trilogy were kids stories too 🙄

yeah the original were (and still are) kids films but they are kids films done well with universal appeal that have stood the test of time for 20 odd years. i doubt anyone will be looking back in 20yrs and calling ep1+2 classics.

and also they look too much like cartoons which makes them hard to relate to or take seriously unlike the more low-fi look of the original three.

I think the only problem is that in the OT you had a lot less sci-fi going on than in the PT and that that is the biggest problem

I think GL had to utilize the technology. If he hadn't incorporated CGI into EpI & EpII then people would've complained that the films weren't dazzling or whatever. I know what I'm trying to say I just can't find the words.

In my view, the prequel films DID NOT ruin the Saga.

I get what you mean Lyn 🙂
and now the PT movies are called movies for children which the originals were as well

I still think the only thing that came close to ruining the saga is Return of the Jedi.

but his use of 'the technology' has made the films look too cartoon-like.

in what way than?
