AOTC isn't great. It was boring and rushed and pointless. You can't keep saying it was good and expect us to change our mind. Stop trying to defend bad movies. If you like it so much why don't you start a thread about how great it is. Oh and, try getting an avator.

Exanda Kane

You can't summarise episodes 1 and 2, because Qui-Gon introduced Anakin to the force and the council and Obi-Wan can't just say "oh it was my master who introduced him, and he would of trained him but he died by Darth Maul killing him." and HOW THE HELL CAN YOU SUMMARISE CLONE TROOPERS AND PALPATINE BEING CHANCELLOR? They're too major. GL already had ideas about eps 1, 2 and 3 before he even thought about ep 4 that's why it' episode 4. So stop saying that. If what you're saying is true then why isn't ROTS ep 0 ANH ep1 ESB ep 2 and ROTJ ep 3? OH yeah, it would look stupid and isn't what GL wants. AOTC is like how ROTS started and TPM is how SW started okay so shut the hell up.

and finally...

The Anomaly

AOTC was rushed. You're not much of a fan if you keep saying it's really good. Real fans can see bad things in films and don't just say it's brilliant. You need to realise how it was rushed and actually listen to what peple have to say okay?

Now I hope you three read this post because it's one of the longest I've made and I won't take any notice if you continue to cause trouble on this here thread. AOTC needs a do-over because it's bad and not the SW we all love. No action, no comedy, hardly any lightsaber action. Darth Tyranus never shut the hell up! He was only good for a five minutes and that was it. So I think you should all take complete and full notice on this. I'm not trying to change your minds, I'm just proving a point. The end.

my god, Kane

Some people like AOTC, some people dont.

I like it, and to be perfectly honest, i dont much care what other people think, i like it and its good enough.

your a OT fan and I'm a SW fan, basically. thats fine, but to ague this is mostly personal opinion and no one can argue with personal opinion effectively.

so some people like AOTC and the PT, some people dont.

awesome! go watch the OT, there great movies, but you will not convince anyone who likes the PT to not like them.

now I'm going, i think i actually might go watch AOTC, i haven't watched it in quite a while. I've been watching ROTS lately.

Well, here we go again. How about some more "unneeded comments." (Of course I'm back; I'm the Prequel Defender.) How about instead of mocking me you try to defend your own tenous positions, without resorting to insults, name-calling and other blusterous hot air? It only detracts from your own weak points.

AOTC will NOT be re-done. Eps 10, 11 and 12 will be finished before they ever "re-do" ep 2. Of course Lucas will tweak it in the coming years, it was tweaked before it came to the Imax theaters even before it came to home video. To actually want it re-done is laughable I'm afraid. Forget it.

I've re-read pert-near every post looking for reasons why it seems rushed to some here. All I can offer is a big fat so what? Just because it "seems" rushed doesn't mean it is. I would completely disagree with any thoughts that it is "rushed". For one thing it's a comment that really hardly says anything. For another, they had 3 years to make it. That's a lot of quality time in it. There is great care taken in AOTC. Sure there are some clumsy spots, but there's not a film that's been made that could not have been made better with more money and more time, and unless you want the films released every 5 years, you simply do your best. Lucas thought and took his time in it. Thirdly, there's Lucas' tried and true actor's direction, "Faster, more intense," which the OT actors loved to rib Lucas about... it is supposed to be rushed. It is supposed to have a fast tone in parts, and it does. In TPM, they say "We haven't much time" at least twice! Lucas is always trying to speed things up.

AOTC is about two major plot points: Anakin & Padme falling in love, and the beginning of the end of the republic. It's an odd duality, by causing A & P to fall in love, it dooms the republic but later rescued with their children. I loved watching Palpatine weave his legacy of destruction and discovering the truth on how he came to power. Great political machination stuff because there's not too much of it.

The Anomaly actually makes a pretty good point. Exanda Kane would you stop saying that, they're too mager to be implied^. If they were pointless and could be implied then why have a PT anyway? Cause that's what happened in ANH. TPM was good. AOTC was rushed. I mean god you're such a noob.

^well TPM is anyway.
