Lucas Nukes Disney’s Star Wars Sequel Trilogy 

Hey, I thankfully got a notification. Love the vid and the channel my man❤️

if only we could just wipe our minds of the sequel trilogy

@@peterbissett5639 Thanks Man 👍

@@timekeeper0436 Agree. Or just remake it idk.

These are always too long in between vids, but well worth the wait.

Star Wars ended with Return of the Jedi.

@@samuraigeorge71 exactly! And started with a new hope!

I am also in this column, legends is canon before Disney threw it out making it legends now but if I think that the ST isn’t real then I can be fine with everything else. Ignorance is bliss

@@samuraigeorge71 Prequels are canon unless you know better than Lucas.

I mean, when it's not made by the original creator anymore you may as well consider it not cannon, since Disney's got no clue how to make Star Wars.

Ouch

Bruh

Yeah, watching his ex cry after she saw Phantom Menace must have really punched George's nads hard!

@@lookingforwookiecopilot its about the sequels

@@mala6238 No, she cried about the prequels. There's more to the story. Seems she hates everything after her divorce.

I suggest you go watch the films besides sequel trilogy even the shows if possible

That was the movie Kathleen considered "boring" right?

lol neither were that good tbh. Saying she slayed that role is just ridiculous but I’ll agree it’s a better movie fs

@@Alex_Penjamin Okay, maybe "slayed" was overstating a bit, probably because any Star Wars movie being remotely good these days makes it seem perfect, purely in comparison to the Sequels.

@@isthatbraised Kathleen dislikes it, that's a point in favour of Rogue One.

This ^^^

Yeah, I mean Leia is beloved by star wars fans world wide for being a brave, fearless leader of the rebellion. She even gave Darth frickin Vader the middle finger by telling him of like a child and kicked some major ass both as a competent leader and on the front line. And despite that, those retards still call the OT fans mysogynists. And if all fails, they allways bring up the slave outfit. I mean, did anyone of those idiots even watch the OT? Leia was put into that outfit by Jabba. It was a design choice that ultimately served in showing Jabbas utter lack of respect for others beings and especially slaves. It was never depicted as something positive and only served in making people hate Jabba for what he did to our beloved rebel hero. Which made the satisfaction of her killing him even better. THAT is how you write a strong female character. Rey sKyWaLkEr is not. And don't get me started on Holdo....

@inlonging It was weird how women like yourself it's weird how y'all were being gas-lit like that when you'd echo many criticisms of the sequels.

There's this false belief some women have that says "Women aren't valuable or valued.". So instead of looking within, they try to fix the external world to compensate. Sometimes by taking over the spaces that men typically occupy. Being in those spaces is fine if its authentic and natural. But I think often times its coming from the wounding and false beliefs, which leads to mis-creations.

and by "certain people" you mean SJW liberals who have pink hair and pronouns in their bios 😅

That comment is flawlessly perfect 😂👌🏻

Couldnt have said it better!!

Both sucked

Rey was fine.

@@micahwright5901 ...Before the Last Jedi

They can hide behind their false identities all they want

Rey Palpatine is a abomination. Like all of Disney Trilogy.

@DEEJMASTER 333 Nah they just recognize the double standard.

In Luke first movie he managed to use the force despite having no training to outfight soldiers and military pilots and eyeball a shot that veteran pilots with advanced targeting computers couldn't make and became a war hero by blowing up the death star when he was a teenager. Oh but Rey's "too powerful" because she managed to not die at the ejd of her first movie 🙄

Yep also Kylo Ren looked awesome but turned out to be a little punk in his first film.

@bastiat dude what?

@bastiat that's a lot of bloody stereotyping right there. I can tell a clear difference between Athrun Zala and Vegeta. Just like there's a clear difference between Starkiller and Kyle Katarn. Enjoy your shitty Disney Canon, I'll stick with the real Star Wars thanks.

@@VisionsOfSpy Kyle Katarn and Galen Marek are awesome characters. I absolutely love legends.

The sequel trilogy was a cash grabbing middle finger to the essence of Star Wars. Utter sacrilegious dumpster fire.

​@@M1garandmasterfor me they're just the expensive Disney Wattpad fanfics.

George owes us an apology for selling star wars off instead of finishing the story. He knew this would happen and it's his revenge to all those fans that criticized him for everything from changing parts of the OT to the prequels and Jar Jar.

​@@KrolKazidk man, movies are a lot of work, and if you put like 10 years of your heart and soul into those prequel trilogies and a bunch of fans just dank meme you or go "eh its alright," you'd be kinda done. Plus, Disney originally said they were going to base it off his script and ideas for the new movies, and after they bought Lucasfilm, Disney just kinda gave him the finger and ran with whatever they wanted.

George owes us an apology for not allowing the Originals to be remastered and rereleased. Instead, we are stuck with the steaming turns that are the Special Editions.

George owes us an apology for Jar Jar, the little kid, Hayden, the overall terrible dialogue of the Prequels and most of all: all of the idiotic changes to the original trilogy.

@@HabitualJoker get Harmy's Despecialized Editions of the original trilogy.. they are fan edits (I know, but stick with me) that are amazing, HD, beautifully done and true to the theatrical releases, no bullshit added or changed. They're the only versions I watch

This meme sums it up: They hated jesus because he told them the truth

@@tyvamakes5226 I feel like thats incredibly assumptuous and complex to actually break down and apply to this... I like to think Jesus was pretty non aggressive and like an original Ghandi of sorts. But agreed.

@@tyvamakes5226 Yeaaa I been smoking 😳... I dont think Jesus was in your face and bold etc is all I mean :)

@@MiraSubieGirl It's more so to the reaction of truth. In the words of Plato: No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth

Amen brother! I never said to anyone, that i'm not a twat. But those movies suck big hairy cactuses.

funny how that works! the movie series didn't actually need a continuation because _it already ended!_ the bad guys are dead and/or redeemed, the good guys have prevailed and there is hope in the galaxy once again. the only thing there could feasibly be a good sequel for is Luke's new Jedi order/Leia's leadership as the empire is destroyed and the republic reinstated. it's done. it's over. Star Wars didn't NEED a crappy re-do of the ot. we didn't need a new hope against an evil state looking for galactic domination. we didn't need to kick every character in the nuts and reverse their character development. why did the sequels even go in that direction?

@@seabirdflutter For extremist feminism propaganda. So much shit is only made these days for the purpose of racial or gender specific propaganda to uplift people who weren’t uplifted in the past. It works subliminally by just allowing the characters to exist in a normal way. But when you do it like the sequel trilogy and instead of simply having an good movie with a strong lead character that happens to be female, they instead go the route of making the movie being about women always being right and the smartest and strongest

Exactly.

I will admit, one of the main characters didn’t die during filming (that’s a huge thing to get around.) But yeah, your point is on target.

@@markokoume9343 well yea Carrie fisher passing did hurt them even more but the worst thing they did is not have a story written for how to get from A to B. They built the story around the characters. Not the characters around the story

It is called concentration of power

The one thing we must understand about us humans is that only the truly wise know where they are limited. The vast majority honestly believes its own judgement in any area, to be as good as anyone else's. In short: Intellectually limited people don't know they are limited.

She's a political activist. And tf up

That would never happen because she is a hardcore feminist and did what she did for those beliefs as much as for money. I'd be prepared to bet that she'd stand by the films because they were written with so many women's input irrespective of their success because 'even women failing in Hollywood is an improvement on them not getting their chance'. In other words, it matters not if a beloved franchise loved by hundreds of millions of people worldwide is forever ruined if it meant more women made money in Hollywood. It's an abominable attitude. It's also done *no* good for feminism as it's only made women look appalling at creativity - and don't forget that she had the best of the best to hire and every desire to do all she could to make women look great.

@@KeldorDAntrell she's a creep. You don't politicize a movie that has nothing to do with that stuff. She just happened to do it with one of the great movie series in history.

@@Braylon18 whilst politicize is a meaningless word, there’s already strong female characters in star wars

Lol I mean she learned that from Lucas, not defending her. But watch the behind the scenes for the prequels and he pretty frankly states "the editor didnt like I was ask of them so I fired them." Shes a dumb bimbo no doubt but firing over differences is nothing really new.

@@Themaxxrad99 Fair. Point. Kudos.

The number of people kathleen kennedy fired from Star Wars is a testament to disney's insulting treatment of the franchise and the integrity and reverence of the creatives in the industry who refused to work toward destroying this beloved IP. Well done to them for sacrificing their paychecks and backing Lucas.

@@Themaxxrad99 yeah and we know the popular opinion the prequels. Even if they are above the ST.

@@denkerbosu3551 TBF I've never really got why The Last Jedi in particular gets all the hate, but then again I've also never really got why Phantom Menace gets all the hate - Because I'd put those two movies ahead of AotC, RotS, TFA, RoS and Solo even if neither are anywhere near as good as Rogue Squadron NEVER MIND The OT! Look at Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - It's an OK movie, it's not awful at all YET it gets absolutely slaughtered! Because people were expecting sheer brilliance and got their hopes too high. Phantom Menace is in exactly the same boat.... It got slaughtered by people who had their expectations way way too high and Lucas overcompensated and brought out the abominable AotC to "please" the fans! RotS was pure and simple fanservice NOT a good film! I went into TLJ having despised TFA knowing that TLJ was not and could never be Star Wars because TFA had destroyed Star Wars - So I treated TLJ as just a generic Space Opera....And though it's still not great, take out the Star Wars expectations and it's fine. RoS however is just a complete and utter MESS!

Same here.

I wish i could live in a multiverse where star wars does not exist!

If I could make the next SW film I would show the sequels were just a shitty movie Jar Jar had made and was showing to his friends who all laughed at it.

To be fair, the Lucas prequels were also shit, and to be brutally honest, _The Return of the Jedi_ has a lot of parts we all love to skip.

The Star Wars games they had set up before it was sold to Disney looked amazing. A Darth Maul games, another Jedi Knight game with Kyle Katarn, another Battlefront among others. All Disney did was release angry birds and a poor Battlefront game that only cared about microtransactions.

You don't like what the corporation gives you? Then of course you are a misogynist.

@@Seismitoad3 I think they were being sarcastic

@@brandonm1708 Sorry, I see that now.

@Bingo Duff What are you on about? The OT was made in the mid to late 70’s and I’ve never heard George say that the rebels were like Jihadists and the Empire being like America. George mentioned that the Empire was made to show parallels to Nazis. If you’re referring to the rebels being like the Afghan rebels fighting against the USSR, that happened several years after he made the OT so that doesn’t make sense. Plus even if that was the case, that in turn wouldn’t make George a leftist at all as he based the enemy off of a leftist regime (the USSR). If you knew your basic history and facts, you’d know that most if not all leftist beliefs and policies are the exact same as the USSR and Nazi’s.

@Bingo Duff Finally he says it - the Empire did nothing wrong.

Finn had no potential 😂 None of them did.

And how about not everyone in the same scene together?

Leia I get because Carrie Fisher passed so anything other than what they did would be impossible to pull off without the creepy CGI uncanny face, but I see your point about the other two even I personally didn’t mind how Han or Luke died. Han went in to try and get his son back, which I found really powerful even if it didn’t work (until later). Luke was always going to be controversial because there was no way they could please people in a way where he goes in thematically great way and one where we get badass OP Luke from legends. It’s the same thing that people experienced when the prequels came out. People for years saw Darth Vader as this mysterious figure who probably had a super badass backstory, then when the prequels actually came out there was absolutely no possible way the movie could satisfy what people built Vader’s past to be. So I’m not really mad that Luke was a hermit, it was better to set the bar low than try to actually live up to the hype (look what happen with Mary Poppins Leia). It gives the film more longevity because when all this hate and anger cools down over the years (like it did with the prequels) people will begrudgingly realize that there was no way to live up to what he was built up as over the years, even if the execution was meh.

​@@cantthinkofaname5046 There was no huge problems in base elements of Vaders origin story itself, it was the general execution, bad dialogue etc. that affected prequels as a whole. Those movies were not totally stupid or ruined, just mostly disappointing because they had more potential and quite interesting world. Lucas seemed more interested about green screen and CGI than refining character and story elements which in the end are the most interesting elements of those stories, instead of latest visual candy which looked dated not long after those movies came out. Seeing Yoda twirling from wall to wall like a slinky in washing machine is really not that interesting in the end, most long action scenes were just boring. E.g. Marcia Lucas really seems to have better grasp of that side of storytelling and what is actually important and compelling to the audience. The actual badass phase of Vader started at that point when prequels ended so they could hardly even ruin that. Luke on the other hand e.g. would have been somewhat easy to safe just by making him end himself in blaze of glory instead of being too tired of that astral projection. (Not that it made sense to him to go and live as a hermit while leaving map of his location behind in the first place.) There were several easy ways to end the stories of those old timers but all were wasted. Problem in Disney's version in many parts seemed to be internal politics and indifference towards the story while they have big wallet to pull all kinds of tricks if needed. They did not try to tell compelling story but directors mostly ticked boxes in sheet created by committee. They planned a trilogy but clearly did not even have general story arch in mind and locked down in advance, but e.g. Johnson could just go and create his solo movie in middle of trilogy. But at least JJ Abrams had his famous mystery boxes, how that worked out for Lost? xD First movie was rehash of New Hope so there was no originality, and they clearly had agenda to push down any old characters no matter how popular they were (e.g. R2D2) because Disney did not get full royalties from those.

If I was Harrison Ford I’d have lobbied for Han to walk to his death also, so I could get out of these fucking terrible films…

And for that matter, R2 needed A LOT more screen time. He was one of the most important characters in the prequel *and* original series. Anakin/Vader, Obi-Wan (as a ghost), 3PO, and R2 were--just thinking off the top of my head--the only characters in all six previous movies. Of those, the droids were the only ones still around.

"The fool doesn't think he is wise, but true wise men know themselves to be a fool." -A Shakespeare quote which I adapted into modern English

In fact, star wars was rarely known of *politics of today.* It was either the story, the characters or the choreography. The sequels is *that,* but without the latter sentence.

They all argue the same shit. "The sequels are great" "the prequels were worse" "George Lucas has been washed for 40 years" and my personal favorite, "what makes Star Wars *_Star Wars?"_* I've wasted hours of my life debating and it's the same brainlet people.

Damn. He should have pinned this comment. The battle for this nations soul is very real. And peope care more about TLJ then what's going on in their nation.

Absolutely, but remember, the original trilogy ended with RotJ, so we can still watch and celebrate it, without moving onto the last 3 abortions...👍

The cultural revolution never stops

Excellent observation! And they are doing the same with the Andor series... For me it is getting more and more unwatchable... There is an inter racial lesbian romance developing in these series... Why, for god's sake?

As much as I despise the sequels, I couldn't disagree more with your idea of what real ART is. The original trilogy is rooted in real life, real people, real problems, real human responses, and very real deep philosophical questions. It is a sci-fi, so it is fantastic in its settings, but other than that it is as real as it comes.

@@VelhaGuardaTricolor I don’t think art is about doing the dishes and going to a dead end job, while in Star Wars he saves a princess and becomes a knight who is trained by a wizard, and hearing music you would never hear in daily life and the possibilities are endless that shouldn’t be restricted to stupid identity politics and skin color

@@chaserivera1623 Creating a man of straw in order to make your case, shows how weak your argument actually is. Nobody is talking about doing the dishes. nor applauding the mess created by JJ and KK. My point is to remind you that your are wrong when you say ART is not about reality but fantasy only. STAR WARS didn't start as an empty fantasy only. There were politics, rebellion, Luke struggling as a young man with his family, grief, temptation to use the easy path ( DARK SIDE = VIOLENCE and TYRANT ) The choice of building bridges with the ones we love but are in conflict and helping them to see the light. ( Luke and Vader ) So you see. Reality is what makes great movies, great movies. It is not because of reality that the ST sucks so damn much, but because of lack of understanding or respect for the franchise. Take the top 2 IMDB movies by vote. The Shawshank Redemption and The Godfather Both deal with very real things. If you are too young or weak to deal with reality, stick with Harry Potter and LOTR by all means. I won't be the one to criticize you for it. Just don't assume it applies to everyone, just bc it applies to you. I hope you can understand my point, if you disagree, please let me know where I got it wrong. Cheers!

@@VelhaGuardaTricolor I think the things grounded in reality in star wars are outnumbered by fantastical things, at the end of the day many people have boring miserable lives where star wars can give them their spirit back. Rian johnson's treatment of luke skywalker was pretty realistic if you ask me, most old men are bitter hermits. Only in our imagination could there be hero luke like in ROTJ. In a world filled with hateful woke people, all I want to do is escape. Disney star wars characters are very spiteful just like 25% of people I could run into in college. In the OT characters are unrealistically hopeful because... fuck real life. And if you tell me you watched star wars for its harsh reality and how it relates to your life instead of the adventure and escape that's just strikes me as a person who should watch nonfiction

They dont care about being good. Take the money and run.

Yes!! Phenomenal point. It was just yesterday that I was watching the different videos that document Sylvester Stallone's re-working of Rocky IV. And I made the point that there is something refreshing when you listen to Stallone as he admits that he made some mistakes with the original R IV. He isn't so egotistical and prideful that he can't stand to defend the issues that have bothered him over the years. He admits his shortcomings regarding the film, and instead of feeling sorry for himself or pointing his finger at others, he owns his responsibility, learns from it, and uses it as motivation to make R IV better, and, as Stallone has said himself, the pandemic gave him the free time to work on Rocky IV: Rocky vs. Drago (that will have a special one night release on November 11). Kathleen Kennedy and friends could learn a lesson here, admit that mistakes were made while making the sequel trilogy, and then try and do something about it...i.e. try to make the films better (although I'm not really sure how they'd accomplish that). However, I'm sure that Hell would have to freeze over, thaw out, freeze over again (giving a snowball a chance in Hell), resulting in the death of the flying pigs that flew out of Satan's ass, all while people celebrated during the holiday called the first of never. Maybe I should have saved some time and just simply used the last word of the previous sentence to convey my point.

See once you make it to Hollywood your ego overtakes your personality and you lose your soul otherwise toy wouldn't be able to work with rich super elitists

Agreed. If this trilogy was even remotely interesting, I wouldn’t be complaining all this time later.

Feels, man. Feels.

That's how I feel about the prequels. Yeah there's some odd story telling choices and cringe stuff but it still feels like Star wars. Though I could say the same about the Original trilogy too but I love it.

@@desmondrhea6942 They weren't perfect, but they had soul. Unlike the Disney Trilogy. The Disney Trilogy felt more like a spoof that wasn't funny. All the Lucas Films felt like there was even more going on that you weren't seeing, he implies a greater university. Disney Wars it didn't even seem like the characters thought the stakes were real most of the time.

@@calexander7495 God that's a perfect way of putting it.

Some of the shows and movies not attached to these three are good, probably because the guys running them worked with Mr. Lucas.

Yes that’s why I can’t accept the new movies, it happened without the core.

Rogue One deserves some love though. It's important to clarify that I'd rather have a cohesive story than new movies. So if you ask me, I rather have 6 movies only and no rogue one or sequels. (Yes I know Lucas contradicted himself, proof of that was the Clone Wars making a huge lore mistake)

Yup.

Then Legends it's fan fiction? Because Lucas never wrote any Legends content

Yep. I really hope that if they move forward with the movies, they retcon this awful trilogy. Or maybe they could use the mandalorian to change the canon or something. Those 3 movies are a total mess and there's no way you can make something good out of that story as it is and as it ended.

@@cristiandita2382 Sadly, there will never be any more main movies, but I just want George Lucas to show us what he would've done with them

@@bliots8369 lol absolutely not true. There will 100% be more main movies because Disney likes their money. I just think they are trying to wait a little bit to let the sequels hate die down so people will get excited at episode 10 or whatever else they have planned. And hey I would be excited if they showed signs of actually being good.

@@cristiandita2382 they’ll probably have to, but even that, they will carry the stigma.

I deadass had the though that if I ever had the money in this world to buy out Star Wars from Disney just for the hell of it I would make a new “true” sequel trilogy starting like that

@@hitsurei Agreed

I wonder if Disney is going to scramble their attorneys to "silence" (or make a sad attempt to) any criticism of these trash films.

Lol ex-wifi

I wonder if George and her talk and he is like "do you ever want to tell people about the things we agree on?"

Can you point to EVIDENCE George can't "speak"?

I wonder if he was so backed up he actually made a deal and gave her something she's wanted so she'd speak up. Given his issues depicting people's interactions I'm not sure he'd think of it but she could've easily known as much and made the offer to him. Truth be told I've been expecting them to bring him back to head Lucasfilm at least as a major show of faith to the fans but GL's greatest strength is not organizational and he'd much rather have some creative role going forward. On the other hand we've got the *Perfect* antidote to KK and her toxic fake activism in the former Mrs Lucas...who _does_ get people and _is_ very good at the Big Picture stuff (no pun intended.) It's my hope they hire _her_ on to clean house at Lucasfilm and bring George back in a more than figure head role (if ironically technically working for a woman he's rightfully scared of, and can keep him from making another Jar-Jar...)

@@alcarbo8613 Agreed. Marcia Lucas' comments are a delight, but I think we could already 100% trust Mark Hamill on the matter. The guy clearly understands storytelling and how to connect with the audience on an emotional level... something that JJ and Egghead Johnson clearly don't.

We're all pissed at Kathleen and JJ but honestly hate to say it but.... George Sold Star Wars to DISNEY.... He chose money over the fans... Sad but he caused all this.

George even laid out the Plans for the sequel, you can read it there. It would be about Luke rebuilding the jedi order, leia and the Rebellion rebuilding the republic fighting against thug Organisations, darth maul and his sith padawan

I find your lack of Revenge Of the Prequels disturbing....

@Lightsaber328 TheMan What happened?

General Nomz! You are a bold one!

You have that backwards. The OG trilogy completely invalidates the sequels.

@@fostxswire1600 ?????

@@elijahproto they mean it makes the sequels invalid as stories because the ending of RotJ doesn't logically flow into the Disney Trilogy, therefore the setup for the Disney Trilogy doesn't work.

@@romeohio19 yeah I think u may have a point but empires do come and go and come again. The Japanese Empire, The Spanish Empire, The British Empire, the American Empire etc etc

Yeah it’s been bothering me for the longest time.

Fan fiction is giving it WAY too much credit. It was a cash cow, plain and simple

Yeah I would consider the force unleashed games to be fan fiction but the sequel trilogy is a fever dream. Minus the first order jet trooper cuz that dude is awesome in battlefront 2

hard to call it fan fiction when rian went on record to say he’s not a star wars fan

Revenge of the Sith is seriously in the same class as OT for me. The more I watch the more I enjoy it. Phantom is genuinely bad except for Qui-Gon and Maul, Clones is enjoyable. Revenge of the Sith is a masterpiece.

@@paulfear7860 What about Attack of the Clones?

That movie is like Rocky V, it didn't happen.

That would explain how Indy wasn't hurt or burned at all. All of it was transmogrified into the Disney Trilogy.

Oh shit🤣🤣 okay that's a good thought experiment.. in lue of that I can accept the trilogies 🤣🤣🤣 Godamn dude. That's a good joke for real

The brain damage of being banged around like that could definitely produce garbage of that magnitude.

Would have been preferable to just have Indy die in that fridge and end the movie there.

@@suzygirl1843 That would've been so sick, Finn being the deuteragonist was a weird choice IMO

Massive missed opportunity. All they had to manage was mediocre and it would have been fine. And instead they made them abysmal.

This!!!! I keep saying this! Honestly I felt a bit betrayed when I realised Rey was going to be the Jedi, because I felt like all the teasers for ep7 were setting up Finn for it and I was so exicted for a former Stormtrooper Jedi. I also feel like Rey could have been super cool as a Han Solo-type character (even though it seemed like Poe was already kinda filling that spot), with her bonding with Han, flying the Millenium Falcon so expertly, etc

I mean, its a cool idea, but there was a lot of other things that needed to be fixed to, mostly just the way they treated the old characters and the way the told the story. I could of enjoyed what they tried to do if they just didn't do it so terribly and with such inconsistency, with all the changes just between 7 and 8, where it seemed like Rian wanted to just do everything he could to derail the trilogy and fuck up every plot thread that JJ gave him... not that any of them were particularly great. Snoke could of been interesting though

So true, when the force awakens was marketed I thought Finn would be the new Jedi because he has the fucking lightsaber in the movie poster, not Rey. What a let down

It could've been a great reworking of Kyle Katarn's story

or if Finn did anything. Literally anything. It's forgotten after 7 that he used to be a storm trooper and he's just shoved in the background for the rest of the two movies with in 9 it being hinted at that he's force sensitive but nothing happens out of it.

I agree. The OT was like The Godfather and the prequels like The Godfather 2. When I watched the prequels years ago, I didn't like it very much. Too much fighting, too much violence! But later on, I realized that me not liking the prequels, was not because the films were not good, but because I didn't understand how the different political figures related to each other, and what was really going on in the Republic. When I got it ('This is how liberty dies'), the story and the fighting made much more sense. Now I like and appreciate the prequels. Especially how and why Anakin became Lord Vader, was really impressive to watch and this big question was finally answered.

@@Joylibelle "this is how liberty dies" how is that deep exactly 🤣🤣

The story told by the PT is up there with ther OT, it's just in execution that it failed.

@@BananaRama1312 how is it not deep? Do you not see the parallels between that and our current world? Just look at covid, how everyone was cheering for mandatory vaccines and lockdowns.

Shit movie is shit movie. Has nothing to do with gender. Nerds criticize the prequels too. Don’t lump us nerds in one group because you can’t cope with your low standards for a film.

This is how I am with the Special Editions and to some extent, the Prequels. George tarnished his original work with the SEs.

Hes a very flawed individual all-round.

He better hope I don't see him in public

George Lucas said the same thing about his movies. He did admit that his movies aren't perfect, but that he wouldn't change anything about them. It's _entirely possible_ Rian's thinking the same way. And we're all flawed individuals. Don't be a jerk and criticize a person for the movie they had a part in making. Criticize the movie.

@@ottovonbearsmark8876 i could even get behind that if they showed why he became an asshole. like give him motivation that's the key. you cant subvert expectations without building the expectations. all the "subversion" in the sequel trilogy doesn't build its own subversion in their movies. Instead they really lean on the expectations of people watching the previous movies for their subversion which just pisses people off instead of moving them deeper into your show. Also for things to go wrong you want your antagonist to make something clever happen or to be stronger. For example if you look at the first half of Game of Thrones every time something goes wrong its not because of a poor choice made its because someone used the character for their own gain and outsmarted them AND PEOPLE LOVE IT. where as latter in the series everyone makes mistake affter mistake and people hate it because it feels like the smart people are now just dumb and guess what people HATED it. Same in star wars.

*downloaded all three this week, have no regrets at all. The sequel trilogy is a HIGHLANDER2 sized snafu. {do people even remember HIGHLANDER2? ..no..? ..good>that's the same sort of repect that the sequel trilogy deserves.}

Same here. But it would at least be nice if the fans could expand on SW. Lucas was proud of the fact that SW fans expanded on the SW universe with new books and ideas. Lucas was encouraging the fans. Disney, on the other hand, is barely allowing SW based themes on secular RU-vid channels.

I grew up living, dreaming, cheerleading all things star wars, even the campy holiday special. I had xwings and the falcon painted on my celling as a kid, my friends and I played 'star wars' in the late 70's instead of 'army or cowboys and Indians', as soon as West End Games came out with a SW RPG we played in the 'galaxy far, far, away' for countless hours. I bought ever novel that is now called 'legends'. SW was the first three movies I bought for my first VCR and then I played them constantly, even falling asleep with them playing. Then Disney bought the franchise. I had high hopes for a resurgence in all things SW. Lo though, did I fail to understand that the House of Mouse is thick with the dark side; it's sith leader coming in the guise of a smiling women claiming to have a vision. And that vision not only worked to morph the franchise into something...something horrible, it also actually achieved it in most accounts. The Force Awakens came and I watched. I visibly cringed when Rey damaged the Falcon. I thought that the movie had potential, yet there was something; some unease in the Force that I couldn't identify but I put it down to new ideas and new faces, willing to give into the benefit of doubt. Rogue One came out and I thought, 'now here's a good SW movie'. One that felt like the SW I grew up with and knew well. That feeling of relief was shattered when The Last Jedi premiered. It felt 'wrong', somehow. 'Stupid' was my second thought, then true horror seeped in. I understood. This Kennedy lady's plan was to corrupt the franchise; turn it into some social platform for right wrongs done to her as a young girl or something. Or simply that she truly, honestly, was never a SW fan, let alone understood the flavor and spirit of the franchise. It was a terrible feeling, this one. Solo came out and, despite the loads of bad press and reviews, I found that I enjoyed it and that it too, held a lot of the old magic. Perhaps there was hope yet. That hope was dashed, again, buried and defecated on in truth, by The Rise of Skywalker. Ten minutes into the movie I got up and did the thing I would never, ever have dreamed of doing as a kid, as a young adult, as an adult. I walked out and demanded a refund. To this day I have yet to finish watching that horror show. If it weren't for the plan of Kennedy, I'd have chucked it up to a pack of amateurs' who never read or watched any of Lucas' earlier works. While no excuse, ignorance is what it is. This farce of Kennedy's vision however, is intentional. Blatantly and clearly so.

There's still hope. Mando is tight, Ahsoka could be good. Obi wan show too. 🤷‍♂️

@@SrbijaCG Don't like how he copyrighted 'droid' though, but that Lucas had some business sense.

You can't buy canon. I don't care what people say.

Everything else is just fan fiction.

The EU legends have some gems to.

@@suzygirl1843 Prequels are flawed. But enjoyable. Ewan McGregor carry the movies to be honnest.

If Lucas approved, I wouldn’t mind Rogue One or Mandalorian being canon too

yeah, at least watchable. FANEDITS of PT are excellent, highly recommend - watchable, and cohesive stories, more special effects, cringe removed. Just great trilogy in that format. But I ain't even watched ST lolol not a single second lol bleh. Kathleen K. is a very nice woman, I like her very much. BUT this story should have been trusted to somebody else.

If you get rid of some of the wonky dialogue, wooden acting and weird CGI the Revenge of the Sith is at it's base an amazing story..I just wish there was more about the actual turning to the dark side. But they got everything else spot on.

@@thebassconnection7226 I think they got most of Anakin's fall from grace down, he was already on a very dark path from the moment he killed all of those Tusken Raiders after Shmi's death. It's just that most of it got lost in the cheesy and melodramatic dialogue. The fact that the scene also happens off-screen also really doesn't help. All the Clone Wars does is flesh that fall from grace out and provide more details, but I felt like the trajectory of his turn to the dark side was easily observable in the Prequels, even if it wasn't always executed well.

Definitly not. Prequels sucks still and are plagues by greed of Lucas just like by Jar Jar. And after the crytal skull he should forever remain silent.

@@tommischler964 oof, you're gonna get a lot of hate for that now!

Lol! They couldn't even name the home planet of Luke. It's a bunch of hollyweird elite in control and they saw an opportunity to add blacks and women into a space fantasy. If they make another movie then Rey will be a lesbian and Chewie is transgendered. And the virtue signaling fans will eat it up.

Man... I fell in love with star wars growing up. They were the source of many awesome moments and memories, Today I've shown my kids the originals but I've never once even suggested they watch anything other than those. I can only hope they get one bit of the wonderment I got out of them with none of the sadness I felt when they were ruined. I genuinely feel bad for anyone whos first impression of the films were what we have to offer today, they don't even know.

I would prefer people who have been part of the movies, who like the sequel trilogy as much as you should.

@jayo1212 why should you like them? They're terrible.

And she miraculously happened to be standing in that very spot on her first try. Bullshit!

I don't like the movies, but all that is perfectly acceptable Star Wars. Remember that Force Users can see the future and make extremely convoluted plans that would be completely inane and ineffective if they didn't know exactly how things would pan out. Example: Luke's plan to rescue Han.

@@argus2389 It can be, if you are bad at it, but if you are Luke or The emperor and great at it you can make absurdly convoluted plans based on knowing exactly how people are going to react 5 moves in. When the dagger is made is irrelevant and your claim about when it was made is literal nonsense. Luke has to see the future for his plan at Jabba's to work. He gives Jabba Chewy, R2, and 3P0, with the only way of getting them back being Jabba bringing them out to the sarlacc for Luke to liberate them. What was his plan if Jabba said "well I know the Jedi are powerful and you have been very respectful so I will give you Han for the debt he owes and future consideration. What happens to Chewie and the droids then? "Luke succeeded with clever planning and having a backup plan" No. The plan doesn't work at all. Only the backup backup plan. siege
