Why don't they "feel" like Star Wars movies?

>>211611037 (OP)
Too kid friendly.
I know they are kids films but the originals don't feeeel like kids films. They have some seriousness to them. Ben Kenobi getting cut in half felt more serious, the attack on the death star felt more real, like a real space battle that had some reverence. The quippy humour, the lack of real violence, the comic-book style attack on the...power regulator maybe? All felt too much like it was designed to be easy.

Nothing in the Force Awakens film would challenge a 5 year old.

Because they shove ugly niggers and trannies in your face every second, okay? is that what you want to hear??

the magical coin idea in the third movie made me physically shake with rage

What a dumb answer
>>211611398
Even more dumb as there was diversity in the 6 star wars movies
>>211611037 (OP)
The actual answer is that there’s no mythological pull or gravitas to them. They feel more like adventure movies than an actual epic.

the only reason the prequels "feel" like star wars is because they had the same guy making the creative choices and were filled with the same characters. otherwise the prequels are completely different vibes. a solidly 90s/00s overblown cgi fest. the sequels are the same but with modern proclivities for MOAR cgi and a fast pace at the expense of characterization.

>>211611037 (OP)
because it's standard neutered amerislop disguised as Star Wars

>>211611457
refresh my memory

>>211611037 (OP)
Because they came out when you were an adult. The prequels don't feel like Star Wars movies to boomers. Even Empire didn't feel like Star Wars movies to people who were adults when the original came out. Critics and viewers alike did not like the change in tone.

>>211611037 (OP)
Too many females and minorities.

They were made with the idea that Starwars fan had kids.

>>211611037 (OP)
Because it feels like a world 90% humans and 10% humans dressed up as aliens. The old movies felt like a galaxy far away filled with curious creatures and crazy adventures.

>>211611037 (OP)
They don’t really have that innovative spark to them.

>>211611037 (OP)
Because they're not?

i know a 35 year old childless millennial woman who drags her husband to see the star wars shit at disney world every year

There’s too much of a fanboy wish-fulfillment angle via Rey. It behaves like fanfiction or a theme park show where (You) get to be the one who helps Han, Leia and Luke during a struggle against the empire, if that makes sense.

They were made by people who wanted to recapture the original magic, which is the dumbest fucking thing could ever want from a piece of media. The OT already happened. Make something new.

The prequels suck because the prequels suck. There's no conceptual reason for it, like the sequels. George just wrote a story beyond his ability to deliver. But Tony Gilroy absolutely could have pulled it off. Andor proves the prequels suck because of George and just because of George. Move over OTfags, prequelcucks and sequelniggers, just kidding there are no sequelniggers outside the journosphere. The times are a changing. The time of the AndorCHAD is now.

There isn't just zero imagination in them. It's negative zero imagination. Remembered how they teased Dark Rey leading up to the release of TROS? Now remember how literally nobody on earth believed for a second it was anything more than a cheap fan bait gimmick that would amount to nothing? Remember how they were right and it was literally nothing.

That is because everyone knew they had negative zero imagination being put until these movies. Everyone knew these movies were just generic Star Wars tropes with a shiny coat of paint.

They lost that "pulp" feel. Arguably its been a problem since Phantom Menace but is way worse now. Go watch Last Crusade.
Characters fight with sloppy punches, kicks, its all timed to the music. Elaborate sets get destroyed by the end of an action scene. There's danger. Will Indy get flattened by the tank? Can he KO the fat cultist before Short Round gets stabbed? Luke hijacks a guy's speeder while they're riding at 100mph. Imagine that! Our heroes are struggling to kill two regular bad guys!
Then watch Revenge of the Sith. Our heroes chop CGI robots in half while running across CGI backdrops so they can kill the four armed CGI man.
Sequels shit it up even more. Everything looks like a half-baked student film, the lighting is universally dogshit in every scene. No interesting choreography, no danger, no stakes, no nothing.
All slop.

There is no such thing as 'feeling' like Star Wars. Rogue Squadron was a game about space fighters with no jedi. Republic Commando was a Tom Clancy game with a Star Wars coat of paint. Dark Forces and Jedi Knight were glorified action movies. Battlefronts 1 and 2 were Battlefield 1942 clones. Force Unleashed was force user fanwank. Podracer was a damn racing game. LEGO Star Wars isa brand parody that didn't even hsve voiced dialogue. KOTOR ditched everything not related to Jedi and Sith, set in a galaxy that people originally complained was Star Wars in name only because it lacked any of the ships, no Galactic Empire, no Rebellion, none of that shit. Yet, all that shit is beloved today.

Star Wars can do anything, even straight comedy, just ask Tag and Bink. The only real consistent and seemingly built in limitation Star Wars has is that is consistently fails at doing the same thing on repeat.

The sequels are intellectually lazy because the generation that asked for them didn't ever know Star Wars as anything other than three films they became freakishly obsessed with to the point of writing their entire personalities around them. The best content in Star Wars isn't on film. OT purists forgot that. People who bitch about Andor miss the point. It isn't that Star Wars should be like Andor now, but just that shows like Andor should be made. It should be like how Warhammer 40k does it, or like Star Wars itself used to do it, cover one element of Star Wars in total isolation and only incorporate things that enhance your particular story, it doesn't matter where that vision takes you, just take it all the way. No grand narratives, just simple, ISOLATED, stories that try to do their own thing.

>They lost that "pulp" feel.
The fuck? The Sequels went all in on this. Why do you think it opened with 'Luke Skywalker has vanished' in the first line? To recapture the idea that what we were watching, while a self-contained enough story, was an episode in a larger narrative that the audience had missed some episodes to.

too much girlboss crap
the original was an easy self insert fantasy for boys

Not looking forward to 10 years from now when pimple-faced teenagers defend the Sequels just as zealously as Prequeltards defend Jar Jar Binks

>>211611037 (OP)
Because they are made by Feminist Disney. Only watching these for Kylo Ren. One more movie because i'm on TLJ right now. Thank God for android boxes is all I can say. Fuck Disney.

Post discarded.

because you're not 12 years old anymore

>>211616680
Star Wars has plenty of great games but no good movies so what else is there to talk about?

>>211614543
I can't wait for sequel fans to start fighting with prequel fans more all out. Because that would waste a lot of prequel fan energy and that's funny to me.

>Star Wars is a biblical tale about father and son.
>Nu Wars is a communist tale about absolute worthless bullshit.
Anything else you would like to know?

>>211611037 (OP)

Lack of direction and breathing room. Even with OT it always felt like it was an important section of a bigger whole as it was being made.

The Original Trilogy was about boomer media like Flash Gordon mixed with George's recent obsession with Asian mythology and Joseph Campbell.
The Prequel Trilogy was about Darth Vader and the fall of an Empire, with George using technology to reference boomer media like Forbidden Planet and Sinbad.
The Sequel Trilogy is about Star Wars.

>>211611037 (OP)
George Lucas didn't write or produce them. All six legitimate Star Wars movies have varying levels of his autism and interest in mythological archetypes in them. The sequels don't have any. TFA and ROS are corporate products made by committee, TLD was a parody made by a midwit troll who specializes in making big budget SNL sketches.

They’re soulless productions, reanimated dead. It’s necromancy, anon.
