Watched the saga again to prepare for TLJ

So as always before a new SW release I was watching the saga again through the month, AOTC is on right now and this made me think of some things I’d like to know the answer to, Ive never been super critical in watching movies I just either enjoy them, kind of do or love them without over analyzing everything, that being said these are mostly prequel related

• So the prequels do a lot of fans dislike them because they feel that they aren’t good Star Wars films, because they don’t think they’re good films in general or is it more of a mix between expectations not being met and overhype when they were released

• Many have bashed the effects of the prequels stating that they were inferior to the OT, isn’t that a little unfair seeing as the originals utilize miniatures, puppets and compositing while the prequels use more CGI effects like fully digital backgrounds and digital characters considering how CGI is always advancing and how practical effects always look the same once it’s complete in comparison shouldn’t it be looked at differently (look at Jurassic Park, sure the CGI has aged and isn’t on the level of something that can be done today BUT it still looks good in its own right)

• watching the prequels again I specially looked closely at the effects and honestly while they have aged a lot of them still look pretty damn good, the texture work on Yoda throughout looks incredibly detailed, the ships look great and have scuffing and battle damage, even in freaking dex’s diner the robot waitress looks good. Not to mention the sets (miniatures and digital) while looking very clean still have a nice detail to them

As someone who enjoys all three trilogies (I liked TFA a lot and will probably love TLJ) these were Just a few things that I’ve wondered for years or wanted to ask for years

Thanks fellow rebels and may the force be with you

I don’t mind the prequels. I actually really like Revenge of the Sith. Also I had never really realised this, but I love the cinematography and look of Attack of the Clones.

Not enough people read the EU.

Maybe the weirdest thing I’ve seen today, which is really saying something.

I agree ROTS is one of my favorites actually I really do enjoy the prequels some more than others. Even more so every time a controversial scene comes up because I know somewhere a disgruntled fan is flipping out over sand and Palpatine’s DEW IT and I find it amusing to think of them raging lol

I do as well (except the green version on bluray). But AOTC contains some the worst scenes of the Saga but when removed the movie stands as quite good (I still don’t understand the Kamino plot but I think GL didn’t think about it as well so…).

If I recall that plot line was added later, like all the droid factory stuff was an afterthought and I bet the 3PO and R2 being in the battle were too lol
