I didn't think AOTC was useless.

Neither do I.

And, Vintage, why the prequel basher-ness? Give 'em some love.

nope

and i said it before but the only thing of note in AOTC was Padmes bottom in that white jumpsuit
if i would have thought in 83 that the journey of Vaders crossing to the darkside would have been upstaged by a bottom i would have choked on my curly wurly

Alright, Vintage. You're the third person I'm going to pull off the "Why do you hate the prequels' stunt with.

Now then, please, give me actual reasons why you hate the PT- not just the typical "They prequels suck ass! George Lucas is a talentless, gold-digging b*tch! I have my childhood raped!" thing.

If you give me logical reasons as to why you hate the PT, I'll 'debate' with you on 'em. I'm curious as to why the prequels are so hated.

A lot of people grew up with the OT. Everybody had what they thought of the PT in their minds already set in stone. No matter how the Prequels were done it would never be possible for them to be made according to all of the fan's idea of what they wanted the Prequels like.

Thus a lot of people do not like them. I am sure in the future the PT will age well once we put some of its obvious flaws aside. (I don't let them get to me, I don't let little things ruin good movies.)

I was a kid when the OT Special Editions came out, and then soon after when the PT kicked off..I love all of the Star Wars movies equally.

Don't hate TPM just becuase of Jar Jar and Llyod.

The PT and OT are very different in many ways...different time, story, technology, etc. The differences in some ways seperate some fans...but just becuase you don't like something doesn't mean it is bad.

I actually agree with this statement imo there is a sort of a "changing of the guard" happening with sw fans.

But he must have been smoking something when he came up with Jar Jar though.

Yeah, I just think Jar Jar would have been better if he was toned down a little and didn't speak in high pitched Ebonics.

Sweersa, you're right again. Still, I want to hear Vintage's reasoning, as most bashers don't actually admit to hating the prequels because of what you said.

E-eheh, what are you t-alking about? 😂 I mean, there's no way George Lucas would be smokin' or sumthin, right..? I mean, he would agree to s-supply him?

Shit, they're on to me...

I am always right. Hahaha.

We all have our unique tastes. I hate some movies that are very popular, I could list a few, but no need. Everybody is different, thus we have our own opinions and views on films.

im so tired of stating why i hated the prequels and having deluded SW fans who need to take a step back asking me why i hate the prequels
its been nearly 10 years on here and other forums
ive said pretty much all i can and it pains me just to type this little contribution to this never ending saga

in a very small nutshell the prequels had no heart,no soul,were a wasted oportunity and were a very painful experiance for a lot of long time fans and some not so long
i could type a hundred thousand worded post on why i hated the first 20 mins of TPM alone
sure there are a couple of good things in the PT but they amount to about 20 mins screen time out of nearly 8 hours

i cannot be arsed anymore hence my lack of contributions to the prequels forums since 2005
i just dont care for anything Star Wars post 1983 nowadays and that was cemented by my watching of the kids "product" 2 weeks ago
i dont know what Star Wars is anymore
it certainly isnt the Star Wars i was blown away by

and thats all your getting

I like the Prequels but what did you think of the new Indy movie? That disappointed me.

bummer worth renting?

Iit was a mess much like the PT and left me praying that Lucas never changes his mind about returning to Luke,Leia and Han.

i don't think it's really "I hate the prequels!" per se, there's just flaws that peeps spot with the prequels because people compare them to the sequels....

anyway, i think the prequels were kinda good, i could just point out stuff i didn't like about it... all things could use some improvement, don't you think?

the indy movie disappointed me, too... it just wasn't... just wasn't Indy.

Indy disappointed me, too. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great, either. It wasn't even in my top 3 or 4 movies of this summer, and that's sad.

Thank you, Vintage, for your superb, logical, and objective reasonings!

Man, I understand you may not like the prequels as much as the originals, but honestly, will you please give me honest reasons instead of the typical "It had no heart!!! No soul!!!" excuse. Really, RotS is perhaps the movie most packed with humane and powerful emotions. You don't think so? Tell me why not. Or, you know what, don't bother, because I know what it will be- "Lame acting!!! Horrible dialogue!!! Darth Vader de-mystified!!! ".

Yeah. We all know the Originals were purrrfect! Empire has the bestest acting ever and the bestest dialogue and the most intelligent scenes and the best villains and the best characters and the best EVER!!!

So much for 'deluded' SW fans asking for your reasonings, eh?

And now. Is there any person in this thread under the age of 20 who thinks the prequels suck balls?

I totally agree. In fact when my friends and I were walking to the car I told them. "You know..now I hope George never makes 7, 8, and 9." But I really don't know...if they were anything like Indy 4 with Shia and such I wouldn't like them. I saw a recent interview with Ford and he says he wouldn't want to return as Solo...I think Ford is a bit of a jerk today...he seems stuck up.

I would say it is worth watching. I need to see it again to get a more clear opinion I think.

I'm telling you its all about the time gap. In a few years when the new sw fans that are being spoiled with sw games like TFU out they will probably like PT more then the older fans of today like it.

Yes, probably.

I agree. I believe they will age well. I am a younger fan and I love the Prequels as much as the OT.

I'm going to edit the pt so that I like it better. This means tpm anakin will have a debut of 4 seconds in my movie, and it will only show him flying (no dialogue). Jar Jar will only get vital storyline scenes, and there will be less footage of emo stalkerboy anakin in aotc.

Emo Anakin? I mean, what did you expect evil Darth Vader to be like in his teens? A college prep?
