I'm a little sick of everyone bashing the prequel trilogy. They are utterly mind-blowingly fantastic films. And no, I'm not joking. They're a fantastic trilogy and tragedy (I'm not misspelling any words). The way Palpatine manipulates anakin is excellent, and there's so many awesome action sequences. You get to see the Jedi in their prime, and for those who say the prequels had too much CGI, check this thread, which proves there isn't really too much CGI in the prequel trilogy, except for maybe the clones: http://boards.theforce.net/threads/p...-etc.50017310/. And yes, the story was great, because anakin turning to the dark side is truly moving, and the way Palpatine manipulates anakin into doing so is so cool, especially in episode III when you're just watching and thinking, "no, don't turn to the dark side", but then he does and the effect, regardless of how obvious it is that it was going to happen, is amazing. And the climatic duel on mustafar! Fantastic. They even incorporated a real erupting volcano into that scene! As awesome as the original trilogy is, I think the prequels surpass episodes IV-VI. I look forward to episode VII not so much because I want the film to live up to the originals, as fantastic as they are, but because I want it to live up to the prequels. What do you think about prequel bashing?
The difference between here and TFN is that there is more freedom to debate here, even if most members don't agree with your topic.
I haven't logged on to TFN in awhile, but I guarantee if you started this same topic over there it would get locked. The only time threads get locked or people get banned here is if someone steps way over the line, which is very rare. EVERY Thread is going to end up in a debate and people are going to disagree, but for some reason TFN picks and chooses what is a debate, and then they decide to lock a thread.
I have been banned so many times at TFN (because I didn't corform to their ridiculous rules), whereas we are pretty level headed here in our debates.
Again, you aren't going to find people who who agree with your topic, but you have ever right to post it here.
