The Star Wars Prequels are actually good.

What a title am I right? 

Im willing to bet there will be an instant reaction to the title alone in the form of "nah the prequels suck. There is only one trilogy"  by about half who read.

But did you explore into why you hold that opinion? 

I grew up when the prequels were released. I had see the original films before Ep. I but the prequels were my first real dive into star wars. They hold a special place for me and are apart of some of my favorite childhood memories which is im sure the case for older fans in relation to the originals. 

I stumbled across this documentary on youtube about the prequels/geogre lucas/star wars/cinema/etc and it really makes you think. For you older fans I think it would do you good to watch it as I think it just might change you opinion of the prequels and teach you something about the films you otherwise might have overlooked,

 

This is the trailer to the documentary 

 

 

This is the First 10 minutes to the Documentary

 

And this is the link the full documentary which is 2.99 but highly worth it imo

 

 

Hopefully this sparks some discussion. @Darth Biscuit should really watch this an educate himself. but what do i know im just a failed film school drop out or something

I'll watch the video when I can sure...  the prequels have their place, and while I don't think they compare in any way to the original series, they do move the canon along.

 

Dont compare in ANY way? Only sith deals in absolutes. 

Poor choice of words there's actually a lot of comparisons. 

And the prequels actually did the effects better. 

But definitely watch the documentary

Yeah I should have said "in quality" (re the writing and dialogue) in there... was in between meetings earlier today.  Still don't have wifi, will watch later.

 

Also, have you not noticed my avatar? :)

I think the prequels are pretty good. I think Hayden Christensen gets a lot of unfair criticism that was largely due to an awkward script and bad direction by Lucas. The character should have been given more motivations in the plot itself.

The biggest change I would have liked to have had happen would be allowing Darth Maul to survive the first film. Let him be the Sith that Anakin must face in Episode 3 instead of Dooku. Would have been an epic battle. 

Everyone likes to crown the original trilogy. But honestly if you go back and watch them the acting isn't THAT much better than the prequels and the saber battles were obviously inferior and look obviously staged(Due to tech at the time).

You two are prime candidates to watch the documentary. 

 

Especially when it comes to your opinions on film making, direction and dialogue

I'll check it out for sure. I remember watching a behind the scenes clips from Episode 3 and Lucas was basically telling Hayden how to deliver the lines in one scene. In the acting world that is a big no no.

My view: Attack of the Clones is embarrasing.  The adventures of Obi-Wan were the saving grace of the prequels but AotC is really difficult to watch...even more so than Phantom Menace which had a cool villain and Liam Schindler.

      Chiefs vs Panthers

      By strato · Posted

      For the silly people that worship her it will be that.  The Coleman 'legend' thing, they did that with another fairly average player that was here and I sort of mocked or questioned the 'legend' status. Instantly caught crap for insulting someone's favorite Panther. So okay, Kurt Coleman is a Legend.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      You allow him to compete--you all are talking as if I am proposing making him the starter. Give him a new coach, new weapons, good OL, etc. and see what happens. You are saying, "Well Damn.  It did not work for 3 guys..."  Right now, our C is injured, we lost our top 2 WRs.  Better question:  If you need a QB, Why would you not take a chance on bringing in a QB who was a former first rounder, a good arm, intelligence, mobility, youth, etc.  and see how he does out of NY--with a better OL, better running game, better receivers.  I am not saying give him a 10-year contract, I am saying give him a chance. You act like there is no improvement on offense here--it was a 2 year process, and next year is year 2.  To me, how can you sit there with Bryce and an opportunity to sign a veteran QB on the cheap comes available and you say--"Not us. We're good.  We are waiting for Patrick Mahommes."  Jone's problem is obviously mental--and he has little support.  Why is this so frigging hard to comprehend.  It is called "bottom fishing" and it is better than sitting in the boat.

      Predictions for Brooks debut

      I think we're going to fall from behind quite early and be forced to abandon the run game.  3 rushes -2 yards 1 catch -10 yards
