Ranking the Star Wars films — Page 17

The PT was pretty much just George playing around with his new toys.

Yes, George was lazy. Finishing a first draft of the script half way through shooting shows extreme laziness and procrastination on his part. He may have been the director, but he was also the main production consultant, the main design consultant, and the main writer. Add that to the fact that everything in the films had to be passed by him, so pretty much everything falls on his shoulders.

The director just does his thing whereever the shoot is. Doesn’t matter to him. Building sets and doing strenuous activity wouldn’t fall to the director in any scenario.
Eyelines are all fine in ROTS.

Oh, they really aren’t. There isn’t as much interaction with Cg characters as with the previous films, where both the actor and CG character are in the same shot, but when they are it is not good. Bail Organa when he goes to the Temple is one example. When he is supposed to be looking at the trooper he is talking to, he is looking right through him.

And you clearly know nothing about film making. The Director certainly doesn’t just do “his thing wherever the shoot is” at all.

And no matter whether you think it’s stupid and pointless or not (an argument could be made), The Ring Theory proves that George went to insane lengths to have the different episodes form a structure of echoes and mirrors.

Oh no, not another “Ring Theory” argument. A ridiculous theory created by a prequel supporter that makes so much crap up in an attempt to prove that george is a genius and the prequels are masterpieces, while omitting things like FACTS that would disprove the theory. He makes assumptions that no one else was involved in creating the films, especially the OT and uses the “it was all planned out” myth, which we all know it wasn’t. George made this shit up as he went along. The whole “rhyming” argument was something george came up with while filming the prequels. Not ONCE had he ever said anything like this prior to this. More like an excuse to copy stuff from the previous films. The whole theory is a stretch of reality.

He loks like he’s looking at him though?

I think it’s time you took your own advice 😉

Thankyou! I hate it when I see people say that “he had the whole saga planned out from the start”. You mean the 11 sequels he planned? He had tons of ideas for the future of SW after the production and success of the first film, non of which had anything to do with the PT until like 1992-ish. I think I made a post a couple weeks ago or so, talking about the real reason George used the Ep. V and VI titles, because some people actually do use this as a reason to believe such nonsense.

The prequels were very nonsensical and looked like video games.

Look at it this way. Do you like movies looking like bad video games?

EDIT: And yes, Frink is right.

The graphics in the prequels generally are closer to PS4 graphics. Amazing in a video game, astonishingly obvious next to real people.
