First scene was absolute garbage with the Anakin mimicking R2; them both saying "roger, roger" is an hero worthy.
Shaak Tii scene was pretty good and adds some more backstory, though I don't know how I feel about Grievous stroking her headpiece like that. The hair and chin stroking as a form of communication tells me why the scene was cut out—like what idiot just stands there as they do that? I like the chase through the fuel tanks and the "that will never hold" was good comic relief compared to the other corny crap so far.
Changes to the constitution is alright, it shows the manipulation between Palpatine and Anakin though I prefer what was in the original film as it seemed elongated and not so cut to the bone.
A plot to destroy the jedi should have been left out because I like the idea of Anakin telling Mace how Palpatine's a sith only to see Mace to treat him like an ass again. It shows the true ignorance of the jedi as a whole and allows us to sympathize with Anakin and the other jedi who have renounced the order in TCW and past.
A stirring in the senate: As beautiful as Padme is, I'm not sure how much it contributes to the plot as a whole. It highlights Palpatine's rise to power and the beginning ideology behind the formation of the Rebel Alliance. I wouldn't care if it was left out or in.
The meeting in Padme's apartment: Doesn't contribute enough to be left in imo and only should if the scene before this is.
Confronting Palpatine: again only makes sense if the previous two scenes are there too. I like the situational irony where Anakin is backing the chancellor when Padme is pushing against him. It again shows the corruption and devious nature of Palpatine. I don't really like the part about Sidious trying to turn Anakin against Padme at all.
Imposter jedi at the temple: It's a different approach to what was in the movie. I don't prefer one over the other.
Communing with Qui Gon: it's strange af and why the hell is Jinn giving Yoda advice?
Exile to Dagobah: Keep it; gives a happier vibe to a dark ending.

RotS is a nice Star Wars film; ESB is a great piece of cinema in general, with tangible influence in the movie industry.
Well not really tbh.I'm betting there's a lot more people claiming ROTS is the best SW film than there are people claiming the Furious franchise is superior to the Godfather franchise.
Simple analogy, tbh. My point - I can say any "X" film is better than any "Y" film dogmatically, if arbitrary things are the crux of my reasoning.
I try to look at things objectively when I'm separating "favorite" from "best" or "greatest".

I mean sure that would be blasphemy to most people in the film industry. But then most people in the film industry are Prequel haters. And it would be blasphemy to them to even rate ROTS above TFA.
But then you have an Amazing filmmaker like James Cameron who found All 6 of Lucas's SW films to be much more visually imaginative than TFA.
So point is it's all Subjective..

Okay but looking even Objectively, despite all the Prequel haters out there, those films did have a massive effect on cinema, special effects and popular culture.
So it's really not that black and white, and nothing like say comparing say Terminators 1&2 to Terminators 3&4. The latter of which did nothing for cinema or popular culture. And in fact all they did was devalue the Terminator franchise.
Instead of trying to "fix" the original trilogy, George should have made alterations to this movie. Fix the god awful balcony dialogue between Anakin and Padme, add a tactical droid to the Invisible Hand crew to make it more symmetrical with Clone Wars, sped up Palpatines movement so his killing of the 2 Jedi, didn't look like they were standing still to get stabbed, altered the Dooku, Anakin dialogue and maybe added a few commando droids to Utapau.

No, not at all.But by your logic, and judging from a purely subjective standpoint, I can say Fast 5, is better than Godfather II because I like it better, and it has more "rewatch" value. Objectively speaking, the greater film is obviously the latter.
RotS is a tight popcorn flick; ESB is a beautifully written cinematic masterpiece.
ESB is overrated and it isn't even in my top three Star Wars films. Horrible light saber fight as well IMO. Rots is the best Star Wars film to me. I don't give a shit who agrees with me or not because I think for myself.

Originally posted by Deronn_soloGood to know you don't quite grasp the difference of opinions or subjectivity in general. You're saying essentially that more celebrated art is therefore better than less celebrated art. You're a lemming and I can tell since you reference awards, etc. to justify your opinion. There's a difference between subjective and objective. I'll take my ROTS over ESB any day of the week.
Good to know your opinions are unsubstantiated pieces of shit.Take your shit opinions on movies somewhere else, please. Preferably a toilet so they can be flushed.
