You better get your facts straight before you say stupid stuff.

You’re coming across extra loathsome today.

Don’t flatter yourself. I am merely doing my usual job - correcting people who are wrong.

If that were your actual job you’d have been fired by now, because you’re terrible at it.

EDIT: Given that the prequels writing is credited to Lucas and Lucas alone, I think it’s safe to say that he did not take significant input from real writers.

TFA alone may have (almost deliberately) lost in originality to the PT.

Keep in mind that originality is not inherently a good thing. Confusing and bad originality (as seen in the PT) is meaningless in my opinion, no matter how original it was.

The PT had lots of good fresh new concepts (clones, the council, new worlds, the Sith, Dooku, …). Some of them were badly executed (Jar-jar, the Trade Federation, Jango Fett, …), but GL could’ve improved them if advised by good writers like Kasdan.
Especially since we have already six episodes behind, to me originality is just as important as execution: honestly, I can hardly watch TFA’s second half about the SKB, just like with the PT, even though TFA is mostly well directed.

I don’t think George would have ever allowed anyone else to write his films again. He (for some reason) felt the need to write all three of the prequels without assistance, and I believe he would have done the same had he made the sequels.

What is wrong with... <strong>Attack of the Clones</strong>? - a general discussion thread

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 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.
