The Disney trilogy makes the prequels seem actually good. Episode 9 was the worst Disney movie I’ve ever seen

Yeah I would've killed Palpatine and quit the Jedi if they didn't let me marry Padme.

And why not? Imagine Obi-wan having a real heart-to-heart with Anakin: "Being a Jedi is a good thing... but being a father is a great one."

Phantom Menace. Detest jar jar but has qui-gon, pod racing, space battle, and duel of fates ?

Rewatched the prequels for the first time in 10 yrs recently. 1 holds up pretty well tbh. 2 not so much. 3 is borderline unwatchable
Housemaster
I always felt Revenge of the Sith was the most structurally sound film of the prequels. Still messy, but enjoyable.

The "I don't know, I didn't listen" line was used in Hitchhikers Guide and was probably an old joke before that. Still good though.

Phantom Menace is good. Idc what ppl say
Housemaster
Don't let anyone say you're not allowed to enjoy a film!
animatronicvelcrorat
It has its good points, imo. There was a lot of stuff I didn't like about it, but hey, mother fucking pod racing.
SmokyDoggg
Phantom Menace was ok but I liked the duels of the original trilogy a lot more. Opinions.
PeteTusk
I agree with you. The original trilogy's duels felt like relationship with the force was crucial, and so were interesting.
PeteTusk
The PT saber fights were like rehearsed dances that seemed to me to be trying to seem to be about fighting & "powers", but unconvincingly.
SmokyDoggg
I remember 15 year old me watching it in theaters and being severely disappointed. I grew up watching
SmokyDoggg
Star Wars.I've grown to not hate the prequels but accept and like. Except Attack Of The Clones fuck that
ratboy181
Where can I find this on YouTube?
jennym123
The original trilogy weren't as flashy but they were rare and weighted enough to feel fun.
SmokyDoggg
No acrobatics or sumersaults just raw anger and emotion and storytelling, like when Luke loses his shit and cuts Vader's hand off
jennym123
I thought the final fight on Mustafar was pretty solid though. Prob one of the best of the series.

#1 Not a huge Star Wars fan. But I'm nerd enough that I need to point out that clone troopers and storm troopers are not the same thing! ?
RPCd
It is also stated in episode three that clones are replaced with normal people. That's why they are incompetent.
Lichelf
You are not only wrong, but smug about it too. +1
Mystalic
And cody maybe even died of old age. clones age faster but i´m too lazy to check how much faster they aged.
Lichelf
Rex was still alive and fighting until at least the battle of endor. And if he is in the mandalorian season 2 he'll be around 80 clone years
Mystalic
Nice to know. Thx
ratboy181
Woosh
CptBronson
Indeed. Commander Cody would have long since been retired by the empire.
AlexSkullUterna
"After the fall of the Republic, the Grand Army's clone troopers were re-designated as stormtroopers." -Wookieepedia
Darklinkinfinite
It seems an obvious enough conclusion
smashpro1
The clone troopers were retired almost immediately after the Clone Wars, and replaced by conscripted people. The only active clones...
smashpro1
by the time of the Original Trilogy were Vader's personal unit, the 501st.
Lichelf
There were other clones working in the empire (like Purge Troopers) but yeah they stopped producing new clones pretty quickly.
JStengah
On that same page: "Throughout the early years of Palpatine's reign, the Empire continued to utilize the Jango Fett template, but later"
Lichelf
Thats from the non-canon legends timeline. In the canon timeline they stopped producing clones pretty quickly after the birth of the Empire.
CptBronson
Yep. They were expensive and unnecessary. The clones were bred specifically to kill Jedi. After that any recruits would do.
JStengah
"commissioned the creation of new troopers from different genetic sources. Cloning remained essential to the Imperial Military,"
JStengah
"the introduction of birth-born recruits into the ranks of the Stormtrooper Corps gradually reduced clone soldiers to a minority status."
JStengah
So by the time of A New Hope, very few OG clones would be left, and they would likely be better utilized as trainers than troopers.
NPaine
Remember when 7,8,9 weren’t out yet and we were all hoping for a trilogy to top the original one? Good, naive times full with sweet dreams..
Notme68
7 wasn't >bad< and was an innocent start like the original. The "Mr. subvert expectations" slaughtered 8. After that, 9 had no chance.
usernamemustbe4characterslong
I don’t know who downvoted you but this is 100% true. 7 had flaws, but it was entertaining. It created possibilities. Then 8 shit the bed.
lilchan16
I remember watching 8 in theaters. I'm not a die hard star wars fan but it just wasn't a well made movie. Whole casino scene was pointless!
Housemaster
Apart from butchering Finn's character journey, I thought Rian did a decent job. I'd have liked to see a whole trilogy with 1 director tho..
Notme68
The whole not tell anybody the plan while 80% of your people get slaughtered was dumb. And I understand Luke's character arch - it was just¹
Notme68
So forced.
SkywardSpork
#11 Rule of 2 is something the Sith imposed themselves, as when there's too many, there's generally a civil war between them all
TheOnlyHopeForMeIsYou
it wasn't really about maintaining order so much as hording power. the Darth Bane book explained that the force is 1/2
TheOnlyHopeForMeIsYou
2/2 weakened when too many jedi/sith are tapping into it at the same time.
PedanticGonkDroid
You might be a good person to ask: in the movies, the Sith serve only as the bad guys for the Jedi, but there has to be more to them than >
clawthewolf
But the general philosophy of the Sith is that the strong rule. So you need to become as powerful as possible no matter what.
PedanticGonkDroid
> that. Do you know of any books or anything that focus more on what the Sith were about?
wraith3
Read the Darth Bane trilogy by Drew Karpyshyn. They're awesome and explain how they came up with the Rule of Two.
PedanticGonkDroid
Hell yeah, thanks
FBIhere
I mean, a few, but they're mostly in the "Legends" category right now. Mostly the KOTOR games and books that focus on Revan and Bane. To
FBIhere
more directly answer your question, though, the Sith religion is basically all about amassing power through any means necessary, because
FBIhere
in their eyes, power is the ultimate form of freedom.
clawthewolf
Well, the reason they pretty much always become bad guys is because the Dark Side keeps dragging them down, but the Sith delude 1/2
clawthewolf
themselves into believing that they can control it. The Dark Side is quick and easy, but it twists you until you forgot why you wanted 2/?
clawthewolf
that power to begin with 3/3
Dukeboysz
I binged every Star Wars movie in order this week. I can say without a doubt 1 is fine. 2 is still the worst of the bunch though.
CirclejerqueDuSoleil
media bad, give upvotes
JumpinJoe
1 sucks more
Obsidian3
And Ep. III is the greatest feel good movie of all time. The Hero wins and peace returns to the Galaxy! Always puts a smile on my face.
lilchan16
Have you watched rogue one yet? I liked it a lot
Dukeboysz
Of course, Rogue One is on the other end of the list, the end with The Mandalorean
TheGriffin
4, 5, 6, 1, 9, 3, 8, 7, 2
TheGriffin
Rogue One comes after ep1
AnthonyBlumpkins
1 is my least favorite. I'll watch 2 over 1 any day. I'll even take the sequel trilogy over Ep1.
zazizuzezo
ep 1 is pretty good in terms of all the meme that it spawned.
JStengah
It's the MST3K kind of good, in that it's true value comes from being able to make fun of it.
cydaslumbummer
I'm going to ask and this is extremely important...order of release or chronological order?
PuffySlits
Yes
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
Hate to say it, but I think for any kid in 2020 Star Wars only has one order - and it's the one that starts with Phantom Menace.
NachoPete
Or Machete Order??
Housemaster
This^
Turkishtime04
Chronological for sure. NOONE thinks Empire is the worst.
Masinx
Chronological order. Even if two is a bit off
whitewater0034
You forgot...The First Order!
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
My preferred viewing order is R1, Star Wars (THE Star Wars), TESB, ROTJ. Solo whenever I feel like it. Occasionally select scenes from ROTS.
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
Not that I hate the other movies with a passion, but I've seen the prequels 3 times and the sequels 2 times now. Enough for a lifetime imho.
Quietkitsune
Release, otherwise you spoil the reveal in Empire. Personally I like watching Eps IV and V, prequels, then Jedi onward if watching them all
NachoPete
Basically Machete Order.
Quietkitsune
It's the only sensible way imo, other than release order
agermanguy
Worse than 8 and 9 ?
Dukeboysz
Rey never gave off a creepy rapist vibe in the 1st 10 minutes, so yeah. Much. Bad dialogue ruins 2 and they relied too heavily on CGI
Fuckme721
Yep lmao. I had the same thoughts when I rewatched all the movies a while ago. Anakin is very creepy in the prequels.
Housemaster
I can understand folks not liking the sequel trilogy, but I find it hard to grasp people who say the prequels were better.
ApotheosisCM
The prequels had the big picture right but fucked up all the details. Sequels had (most of) the details right but fucked up the big picture.
Afelium
I think prequels(apart from jarjar,podracing and weird romance)did some good world building and had original charactera and aestethic 1/2
Housemaster
I hear this a lot, but I often see the brunt of the work that went into worldbuilding came from outside sources. Podracing was just...
Afelium
Episode VII was a faded copy of IV, VIII snoke's death was senseless, and I couldnt stand Rose's childish actions. 2/?
CirclejerqueDuSoleil
Screw it, star wars good
Lucky246
Thats where I'm at really, theres so much wrong with all the movies I just have to look at the good things they all have... its hard
CirclejerqueDuSoleil
We spend too much time tearing every piece of media to shreds (cough cough cinemasins) that we forget that they're still good movies
Lucky246
I'm definitely one of those people man, oh man, its really hard to just go narrow view and be like "i enjoyed it" i didn't even like endgame
Obsideonstar
I would put 9 at the bottom followed by 8 and then 2 myself, but I understand disliking 2 more, it's difficult to watch
Lucky246
8 is the worst. 4 is the best, 1 is great, 2 still has a better plot and characters and arc than 8
Housemaster
Finn's arc was pretty messy, but I don't even for a second find it comparable to Anakin & Padme's cringy romantic vacation.
Lucky246
Lol finn didn't have a single arc throughout all 3 movies, they only made it super sus that he has the force in the third one
FeminineBeeOnslaught
I don't get why 7 gets left out. That movie just made a bigger death star, didn't introduce any interesting characters, and Rey learned
KungFuAnimeJesus
It’s watchable.Like an anniversary reunion movie for the next generation. It had Chewie, Han, Leia, and Luke. I’d be content without 8 and 9
FeminineBeeOnslaught
force powers through sheer instinct the moment she needed them
B4dger
Thats called lazy writing with a heavy sjw bend. Terrible. Like cyborg in justice league. "Oh I can do this too lookit me"
Ivaer
I couldn't help but gesticulate at the screen watching it because so many plot points were just rehashes of A New Hope- it was so blatant.
whyexactly
And the parts that weren't were just taken from the other movies. Nothing was new.
alantosai
It's got the exact same vibe as a newly-single dad taking you out for ice cream after he absolutely ruins your mother in divorce court.
Betterwithcoffee
Those are nitpicks. As a first story in a triptych its job is to establish characters and conflicts. It's fine at that--
Betterwithcoffee
people didn't think the characters were uninteresting until 8 and 9 failed to deliver on them.
