PT State why you love the Prequels!

Anakin's hair in ROTS is the best of 2000s cinema.

 

I like the prequels because of anakin skywalkers backstory.

What I liked is how 9 year old sweet boy in the phantom menace is going to be evil because of the dark lord of sith in disguise going to manipulate him. It shows that Anakin had been abused as a child by being brainwashed for 13 years unaware of the Sith Lord until Palpatine revealed himself to Anakin.
The dark side also itself played a part in it even though it was not always palpatine.


I also liked how the sith and the Jedi are similar but obviously we all know who fights for good and love and who fights for evil and hatred.

 

Because of the Jedi and Sith that’s what SW is all about .

 

Simply because they literally take me to another universe.

They are warm, they are colourful, they are unpretentious. The characters don't act like we would here on Earth and that is ok, it's a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

All in all the PT has a magic air about them that make you feel safe. It's hard to describe when watching them.

 

Also to put and remind every Star Wars fans that Attack of the Clones is 17 years old 2002 May 16th and Revenge of the Sith is 14 years old. 2005 May 19th.

 

There are a lot of reasons... first of all I like all three for different reasons and sometimes for the same reason.

Basically I like a lot of the ht things people hated about episode I... I liked Jar Jar Binks even though everyone hated him It hought all the un derwater sequences were really cool
and interesetwing and showed off the CGI in interesting ways that I didn't really see represented well in later entries.

I thought the overall design for Naboo and everything about it was great very regal and imaginative all at the same time, I read it was inspired by unique locales such as Tunisian
architecture and the differentness really shows and makes it very cool.

Basically I just enjoyed a lot fo that, also I thought that Qui Gonn Jin n was a really unique Jedi and Liam Neesen did an amazing job... rreally portrayed a very unique kind of Jedi
that wasn't seen before or since in many ways in my opinion.

The banter with Obi Wan is good, I feel like the lightsaber battles just sorta flowed effortlessly there wasn't a lot of fanfare about what would happen, I thought the use of droids/clones
as major villains also removed a lot of the moral kinda cringiness by just maikng the enemy robots although I guess that may offend some AI fans out there.

I think Natalie Portman hit the cuteness factor spot on and the fact that Keira Knightley is like the second most attractivene or maybe first depending on your POV crush for like
a 12 year old boy which is actually when I saw the first movie makes it all fit together really well.

So yeah I think it's a really intersting movie and there's a lot of cool politics, and that's just the first one of course.

Another thing is I liked the transition of Jedi as kinda superheroes from the comic theme more present int he original LIMO to negotiators and diplomats... it makes sense that a single
jedi can't like destroy a whole army etc it's all about having to navigate the channels and so on that makes it interesting.

The racing scenes are fun also.

So yeah anyway also might as well say I'm new here I guess I've been a Star Wars fan my whole life I guess in a sense and back in t he day I wasn't really aware of forums or
the internet so after the movies you just were like wow that's awesome and went back to normal life.

So nowadays it's cool being able to talk about it with other folks and see different opinions and stuff.

But yeah that's just the first movie and I could talk about the second one but I feel like that's enough for the moment.

 

Ok well a giant double post happened so I edited it basically mayb e I'll hopefully write on the second movie here at some point.

 

Lots of Jedi and some Sith.Thats why.

 

The force/Jedi /Sith is what SW is all about at least for me.

 

for me the prequels made the OT better, if that is possible. Obi Wan's encounter with Vader in ANH means more, as does Vader's turn to good in ROTJ. People forget that not many wanted Vader to be good back in the 80's. He was a great villain, but there was not much good about him until the PT made him a tragic figure.

 

I love the scale, world building, and how galaxy in the PT truly feels "alive" and inhabited. The OT is great, but it never felt like a "living world" to me. Most of the OT takes place in backwater or barren locations where there's very little in terms of society and cultures, so the OT always felt pretty lifeless and static to me. We also don't really get a sense of why the Empire is the bad guy (except for the Death Star) or what the Rebellion is fighting for; the PT is the exact opposite. We not only get to see the center of galactic civilization, but numerous other cultures and population centers as well, and it really made the galaxy feel alive. We get a sense of the scale of the Clone Wars (especially after TCW) and why it was being fought, as well as adding more weight to the OT and what the Rebellion is fighting to restore. Not to mention, we get Anakin/Vader's backstory which makes his redemption and death even more meaningful and emotional .

 

Duel of the Fates. Battle of the heroes. Anakin's theme.

 

Anakin and Padme's relationship was my favorite part of the PT. It was the relationship I had always wanted to know more about since I was young. I love the movies.They're a nice companion piece to the OT. I love the way they expanded on the story.

 

The Prequel trilogy is what I think of when I hear the words “A galaxy far far away”. The imaginative environments, various aliens, and of course the multitude of Jedi. These films were my entry point into Star Wars and my love for these films haven’t changed since.

 

I think it is a complex and fascinating story about the downfall of Anakin, the Jedi and the Republic. More importantly, Lucas didn't try to repeat himself.

 

I love the PT because you have to start somewhere.

All the negative criticism over trade routes, economics, tariffs?! (Where are the space battles?!?!) There is a beginning and I love seeing Palpatine's manipulations of economics, politics and people that led him to assuming dictatorial control of a galaxy complete with military complex juggernaut. It's ingenious, subtle and frightening all at the same time.

The downfall of the Jedi order, so rigid in their disciplines and beliefs. The downfall of Anakin, the love story of he and Padme, doomed from the start. Learning more of Obi-Wan (of whom all I really knew from the OT was that he saw things "from a different point of view") which eventually made him my favorite Jedi.

 

I love TPM because it's visually beautiful, an interesting story, a unique beginning. AOTC may be my least favorite, but it has some good moments involving Anakin and Obi-Wan, and Jango Fett is the best part of the film. ROTS is an intriguing retelling of Faust, and the dynamic between Palpatine and Anakin is fascinating. This is more true in the novelization, but the film is the best of the prequels.

Now, speaking of which, here we find our favorite Sith master and apprentice visiting a hospital. Such a nice thing to do!

 

Consistently great music.
Good action.
Gave us new designs and technology.
Interesting subplots (Palpatine, the clones, Jedi being clouded).
Generally fun and rewatchable.
They lead in to the golden era of Star Wars - the CT.

 

Rewatching AOTC, I have to say how visually boundary pushing this film is. The neo noir elements on Coruscant are beautiful. The nightclub color pallete is divine. Watching AOTC just days after TROS, man, Anakin is so much more enjoyable than Kylo Ren. There is some great dialogue here too.

"I would think you Jedi would know the difference between knowledge and wisdom."
"Well, if droids could think, there would be none of us here."

Also some great character building dialogue too.

"Besides, you're generalizing. The Chancellor doesn't appear to be corrupt."
"Palpatine is a politician. I have observed he is very good at following the passions and prejudices of the Senators."

I find it quite ironic that Anakin, a slave on Tatooine, is more idealistic in the Republic's leadership than Obi-Wan. Then again, Anakin does trust Palps

 

I think love made Anakin feel optimistic and trusting, hence his attitude towards Palpatine being positive. He was also Jedi and felt apart of the system of leadership and defence.
