These aren’t convincing me.

6. TPM

Many will disagree about ranking AOTC over TPM. But AOTC actually contained some stuff that were the reasons I wanted to see the prequels, like a big ass Jedi/Clone battle. Where as even though TPM is a much better made movie overall (Still sh*t though) it has Jar Jar (and to a lesser extent little Annie) in it for most of the running time. He’s the most irritating character in the history of mainstream movies and it’s difficult to “enjoy” anything else about that movie as a result. If a highly skilled faneditor/FX-artist ever digitally erased Jar Jar from every single pixel of TPM, then sure I’d probablly rank it as the “least worst” prequel. But so far (To my knowledge) they haven’t yet, so it’ll stay bottom for me.

At least AOTC has Kenobi in it for more than 5 minutes and he does things that significantly effect the plot. At least the villain has more than 4 lines (With Christopher Lee’s voice) and does things that significantly effect the plot. The final LS duel actually has some emotion behind it, despite also being almost totally cr*p. At least they got rid of the botched puppet Yoda. Sadly with a CGI Yoda but you can tell the FX-artists really tried.

What do you seek to accomplish with this?

If he simply didn’t watch TFA yet, you were being dumb.

If he didn’t watch TFA he should have stated it you ass.

If it was an honest opinion, you were being an intolerant jerk.

Your feeble attempt at trying to elicit an emotional response was ineffectual. If it is an honest opinion I don’t understand it. If that makes me intolerant then oh well. Sue me.

Someone close this thread.

Ryan is not trolling, he’s explained his ranking and he has a ton of history (including being an admin at FE) that speaks to his credibility. Even if I disagree on his relative placement of ROTJ and AOTC. 😉

Mr. 69 appears to be either a kid or a TF.n troll, I can’t tell which. Maybe both?

What part of ‘post post ironic critique of modern youngsters’ do you not understand?

I’m not a troll, I just don’t post on any other forums.
I used to frequent 4chan, but it’s become overrun by low quality posters (yes, yes, pot calling the kettle black).

You know, having opinions that most people on this site do not share does not make me a troll.
I stand by everything i’ve said.

Sounds reasonable.

I will endeavor to quote less excessively in the future.

If those are your opinions good for you for being so unique. The world needs more people like you. You are doing God’s work.

Good for you Flynn.

In fairness, you could say that about any Star Wars movie (besides the original). The Force theme is the most memorable theme in cinematic history.

But TFA didn’t have an Imperial March or Duel of The Fates or Across The Stars to balance it out, which made it seem like the Force Theme was overused.

You got me on the Imperial March, no argument there, all time classic.

Across the Stars is undeniably a fantastic piece of music and one of Williams best, though I would agree Rey’s theme is in the same stratosphere.

Duel of the Fates is a fine cue, very catchy, but not very interesting as a recurring theme (shows up only at the end of TPM, a couple more times in AOTC and ROTS but with no variation or development).

Even if it seemed like it to you, the Force theme was certainly not overused in TFA. In fact, if I had to guess, of all the films in the saga TFA might be the one with the least amount of Force theme statements.

Why are you such a wise ass? Ir’s rubbing off on me. Please tone it down.

I know it wasn’t. I was saying that it seemed like it because of the lack of a comparable theme.
One huge fumble was at the end fight when Rey closed her eyes and the force theme started. It should have been a triumphant statement of Rey’s theme.

Duel of the Fates playing over a long shot of Anakin talking to a Jawa is one of the lower points of the entire PT.
