Attack of the Clones is the only Star Wars film I hate. Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back are great, Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens are good, The Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith are mediocre, but Attack of the Clones is freaking terrible.

I’m surprised you would say that Sith and TPM are mediocre while simultaneously hating Clones. I always felt like the prequels were all the same for the most part. TPM is the most watchable of the three for me, but I ultimately consider them all to be completely worthless.

EDIT: Basically, I don’t see how someone could find enjoyment in some prequels but hate others.

I feel like Georgy-Boy was at least trying in TPM and ROTS, but I wholeheartedly believe that he forced out AOTC to sell more toys. It also has Hayden and Natalie at their worst, and the lightsaber duels are excruciatingly boring to watch.

I don’t know what you’re talking about I think you need help.

You are descending down to troll now.

I guess that makes sense. As far as quality goes I think the prequels are all three on the same level, but you are right that something about AOTC just feels extra miserable.

LOL, now you’re outright lying.

TPM 56
Clones 65
Sith 79

Star Wars 94
Empire 94
Jedi 80

TFA 92

Stop feeding the troll.

Realized it too late. At first he was the funny kind of troll, but now it’s just annoying.

Doesn’t this whole " you’re all liars" crap sound familiar to anybody? Like an old banned member? This sock is starting to stink

I love it!

So that’s why the romance in AOTC does not work!

Padme … you cheating b***h!

So if this has already been brought up, I apologize, but I haven’t been here in a while. But the idea that the Jedi were supposed to be celibate in the OT is rather difficult to swallow because, um, well, Luke exists. And, yet, the fact that he is the son of a revered Jedi is never given a second’s thought or mention. Now, if I didn’t know much about, say, my mother, only for someone she knew to reveal to me that she was a nun, I’d probably have a few questions about that. I mean, sure, it’s not IMPOSSIBLE for my mother to have been a nun at some point in her life, but it would still probably turn my head a bit and cause me to ask for some details as to how I came into being.

And then, of course, you have Luke himself, whose main motivation is to become a Jedi, and while that motivation (and some last-minute, ham-fisted writing) ultimately trumps any romantic concerns… he totally has the hots for Princess Leia! And once again, no one ever says, “Hey, you know, Luke. Jedi aren’t supposed to be into that.”

And speaking of last-minute, ham-fisted writing, there is also the annoying idea that Force-sensitivity is hereditary. But if we are to accept that, then requiring Jedi to be celibate is an absolutely ridiculous, self-defeating idea. It’s almost like they WANTED to die out!

So while I don’t necessarily have a problem with an order of monastic, celibate warriors, it’s clear that it was a concept invented to give Anakin something to angst over.

Finally… eh, for what it’s worth, I really don’t mind the line about sand. Not really.

Is this thread like…?
