The prequels are actually more nuanced and better films than the original trilogy. The originals were campy, cartoonish adventures reminiscent of Saturday morning cartoons. The prequels are deep, political, philosophical dramas.

This is also why the sequel trilogy was so weak, because they were directly based on the already narratively weak original trilogy.

no one is ever going to believe this

No one needs to believe it, it's self evident. The original trilogy is not complex or psychologically challenging.

The Last Jedi is still the best Star Wars.

Gonk.

So?

>>211571322
Are you ready to apologize?

>>211571439
For what?

I'm a prequelfag and retards like you give us a bad name

>>211572273
Oh yeah? How?

>>211571971
referencing better works, via cliffsnotes, doesn't put you on the level of those works

>>211572377
You don't need to shit on the OT to sell the merits of the prequels

Both trilogies are great

The Prequels are only "complex" if you're a retard.
>Sheev secretly gets the Trade Federation to stir up shit on Naboo, gets himself elected to deal with the Crisis
>Sheev secretly gets the Separatists to start the Clone War, gets himself massive emergency powers and a Clone Army to deal with the Crisis

The "narratively weak" Original Trilogy also has a cast that the audience can actually care about, and isn't saddled with lines like "From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!" or the godawful Anakin/Padme love story.

Seethe.

Phantom Menace is lifeless and anemic garbage

>>211573070
>From my point of view, the Jedi were evil!"
That was a based line, and was perfectly line with how Vader spoke, along with every single other line delivered by Hayden in Star Wars (Old Canon)

>>211571971
too far in the contrarian direction. the truth is the originals were an alchemified magical rip-off of DUNE. frank herbert and george lucas both openly admitted so. no need to be dishonest towards one out of spite for how its fans treated the other

Why do you watch it so often?

The incest subplot and Leia turning out to be Luke's sister was a massive asspull that weakens the original trilogy. Carrie Fisher as Leia in general is very overrated. Harrison Ford hard carried that on screen romance - - and his character got hard sidelined in the third movie despite being arguably the true charismatic lead of the original trilogy.

The prequels have a ton of good ideas but a very messy execution. Revenge of the Sith elevates Menace and Attack of the Clones considerably.

Yipppeeee!!!

i like the movie starts with them arguing in an elevator and then they argue in an apartment and then there's a long boring speeder bike chase while they argue and then the movie is already 1/4th of the way over.

TPM is overrated, but AotC is overhated.

In scope and intent they're certainly superior to the originals.
The problem is more that execution is pretty questionable.
The prequel era stands out as the best of the three eras to return to though. The designs are better, and there's so much more that can be done with it. Everything else is just Stormtroopers and Rebels fighting in grey concrete corridors.

Watch the RLM reviews, zoomie.

>>211570790 (OP)
Anakin Skywalker's professed hatred for sand in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones—calling it coarse, rough, and irritating—seems less about its physical qualities and more a philosophical metaphor for his inner turmoil. Sand, ever-shifting and uncontainable, mirrors the fleeting nature of control and stability he desperately craves. It slips through his fingers, much like his attempts to hold onto love, identity, and destiny, reflecting his fear of impermanence and the existential dread of a life he cannot shape. His disdain masks a deeper struggle with the transience of existence, a battle against the inevitable flow of time and change.

Finally someone gets it

If they try to ape the prequel's style in the next trilogy then maybe it had a sliver of a chance of being good.
