C3PX said:Kind of funny to hear you say this, it reminds me exactly of what I hear people say about other cultures and the "stupid" ways they dress and behave (I do a lot of cross-cultural work, as well as exit and entry counseling for American workers in foreign countries, so I deal a lot with bitter Americans who have grown to hate a certain culture that they find themselves unable to understand or fit in with). Props to George on that one, sound like he did a good job.
Oh nonsense. It isn't a good job making them culturally different, it's just a conspicuous example of the prequels obsession with making everything opulent and elaborate and prettified. The prequels are all show. Like the elaborate cgi backgrounds dwarfing the characters, while the characters don't make a connection and the human element is clearly not paid enough attention to. Your statement is clearly intended to imply that I'm a narrow-minded bigot, but the prequels outfits are not outfits that naturally evolved as part of an organic culture, they're just a product of prequel pomposity and pretention.
You know, there are a lot of reasons to hate the PT, but I think somepeople would have hated them no matter what. Even if they would have been good in every other way, would you still pick them apart and hate them because of the stupid, pompous ways the characters were dressed?
That's nonsense. I dislike the way they're dressed because it's part of the overall bullshit mentality of the prequels. If the prequels had been done well or in a way that fitted with the OT I would have liked the prequels and I wouldnt give a damn about the outfits. If they had the "been good in every other way", the outfits wouldn't be a concern. The outfits are a concern solely as part of an overall mentality which causes the lack of quality and lack of consistency with the OT. If that mentality wasn't there and the outits were just an isolated thing they wouldn't be worth giving a damn about. I didn't set out to hate the prequels. After all, I didn't even start hating the PT until I saw AOTC. Stop stereotyping my mentality.
