Star Wars: The Last Jedi

The acting, pacing, dialogue, and plot are all better in the PT compared to the OT. And since the PT is not known for its acting...that should frame the OT quite well.

It's kind of obvious how horrible the OT is when it comes to those things. But people who hate on the PT but love the OT do not like to admit to this. Almost every criticism that can be levied against the PT can also be put on the OT.

I still think the OT lovers/PT Haters are just riding a meme and are almost all full of shit. It's why I say they have "blankie syndrome."

I have blankie syndrome, too. With the ST...I don't like how they shit all over the OT's accomplishments and characters. Especially Luke.

Would you look at that? I admit that I also have blankie syndrome?

Honestly I love both the OT and PT, so don't get into attacking the OT just to defend the PT.

But as someone who grew up on the OT, I can tell you there was a time when I had to spend just as much effort defending Return of the Jedi as I do now defending the Prequels.

Leech is an ignorant guy who doesn't really pay attention to Star Wars to ask such a stupid question. That won't stop him from complaining about it.

You're just mad that Snoke is a pathetic, weak b!tch. lol

Agreed 100%. I love the shit out of the OT and PT. Absolutely love them. I only use it as a tool to demonstrate the blind hypocrisy of so heavily criticizing the PT.

Right, people don't remember the nerd arguments over the OT before the PT even was formalized. Seems they forget about the plot hole arguments that abounded regarding the OT.

1. The acting got better every film in the OT. 2. That cannot be said for the PT. 3. Also, the PT has EASILY some of the dumbest writing/dialogue in any movie I've ever seen. 4. It's easy to blame Hayden Christenson for how horrible he was but it wasn't ALL his fault. NO ONE could have made 80% of his lines sound good. 5. The PT is hated on for a reason. That being said I'm not a fan of the new trilogy either. For me, The OT is where it's at, all day, every day.

I disagree with every point you make, here, about the PT vs. OT. Every single one. I numbered your points for clarity.

Anyway, you can chose to like the prequels all you want. That's your opinion and I'm happy you deride enjoyment from them. Hell, there are MOMENTS in each prequel movie that I find enjoyable but for the most part I just don't like them much.

Just one example of the FANTASTIC dialogue in the PT: https://thoughtcatalog.com/oliver-miller/2012/07/50-quotes-from-the-star-wars-prequels-ranked-in-order-of-terribleness/

Prequel Haters tend to be loud. But if you look at the numbers it’s clear they’re in the minority. Amongst both critics and audiences.

Haters are always loud just like the Trek fans who at some shitty convention voted Into Darkenss the worst Trek.

The edit and the quote buttons are shit these days.

in '05 i had to endure ridiculous amounts of fanboy-projected rage because i didn't like the prequels. i was not a "real fan", and the very presence of my opinion caused random people to screech and self-harm.

all camps of opinion in the SW community has it's whiney fanboys, whether they loved it or hated it.

i'm still on the fence. it's by far the most complex SW film to digest, but i think i'm almost ready for a second viewing.

Take the plunge you'll come to your senses and realize this film is great.

Snoke wasn't a Sith Lord? Just skilled in the Dark side apparently. Maybe that was common knowledge that I missed. Makes it even worse what happened to him. Would have liked some back story.

Congratulations? There is a reason the PT is not looked favorably on by a large portion of the fans and moviegoers in general.

Yes, as I said, blankie syndrome, hypocrisy (blind to the OT's not so great elements), and it's a meme to hate the PT.
