This is one of the reasons its my favorite PT movie.I love AOTC. Well, most of it. Anakin/Padme doesn't work and the CGI is way too cartoon-y. But seeing it at the time was so exciting, it felt the movie I'd wanted in TPM but didn't quite get. Adult Anakin. Coruscant speeder chase. Obi Wan vs Jango Fett. The massive Battle of Geonosis. Hundreds of Jedi fighting. Yoda vs Dooku. That was all amazing.
It's not as inconsistent as it appears on the face of it. It's imply knowledge that we didn't have before, which, in some ways, does make sense, since the Jedi would have access to resources and knowledge that Obi-Wan probably didn't have time to impart to Luke.The way Lucas handles the force in the original trilogy is completely different from the way he handles it in the pretrilogy. In the original trilogy, there is something mystical about the force. The Jedi are like Samurai and Shaolin monks and the force is like transcendentalism and buddhism and spoon bending. In the pretrilogy, its just magic.
I like this thread. It's excitingOh look, this thread is still going.
Within the context of the Star Wars galaxy, "The Force" is something real. For example, when Yoda made Luke's X-Wing float through the air in ESB, it was actually happening, and it was a bigger deal than some spoon-bending illusion. Lightning shooting from the Emperor's fingers was also actually happening by means of "The Force," and not some fakery.
Kor
Wait, they aren't?As opposed to the aliens, faster than light travel, laser swords and weapons that can vaporise planets, which are all totally real and not at all make-believe?
Agreed. Equally, we know Natalie Portman can act so that fact that she's sometimes quite poor in the Prequels suggests she wasn't necessarily the problem.
I would prefer this. I was actually rather surprised by his general lack of presence in the films. I mean, it's known that Padme's entire subplot was cut out of ROTS, but I would have at least enjoyed a little bit more about Bail. Something that makes the loss of Alderaan more impactful.Make Bail Organa, the man with the moral courage to stand up for what he believed in and who took someone else' child into his home, a central hero. I mean in all three movies. What we got was okay but it was weird how he kind of just popped up at the end.
More stupid dialog to excise: "This is so wizard, Ani!"![]()
Is there a similar thread for the original trilogy or "The Force Awakens"? If not, what is the point of this thread? More prequel bashing? I find that irrelevant, considering that all seven current movies can be easily criticized for something or the other.
Oh my God! I can't believe this. Bail Organa as the main character of the Prequel movies. This doesn't even make sense to me. I can't believe that this is the kind of criticism I have been encountering about the Prequel Trilogy for . . . what? Seventeen years? Seventeen years of this? No wonder Lucas turned over the franchise to Disney.
Clearly you just don't understand the binary language of astromech droids.Yeah, but censored everything he said,
