The only good prequel was Revenge of the Sith.

more realistic CGI.
LOL


Nope, imo the prequels have a terminal case of major suckage.

Lt. Dan I brought you some ice cream. Lt. Dan.. ice creaaam!

I think it's funny that small scale models and camera effects look so much better than CGI. A 22 year difference and the originals look better than the prequels.

Lol no. Phantom Menace and Clone Wars were meh. The only one that was better than the originals was Revenge of The Sith. Ewoks were still the worst thing to happen to Star Wars though.


I think you mean Jar Jar Binks

And RotS was awful

I saw it in theaters when I was 12 like 5 times. When I see it now it's kind of meh but still ok.

+1 for you good sir.

I wasn't old enough to appreciate the originals in theater, only on VHS. Though, I will agree that The Phantom Menace wasn't very good.

I haven't seen any of them, but I don't see how they could possibly be better than the original trilogy. It's all a matter of opinion, though.

"It is the cruelest fate, to have written words that meant well and see them made wicked and unwise. What was meant to encourage life, used instead to justify taking it."

The Problems with the Prequels
In The Phantom Menace, in order to warn the Naboo of imminent invasion, Obi-wan and Qui-gon decide to sneak inside a Trade Federation ship to reach the planet. Wouldn't this make warning the Naboo of invasion redundant, since the invasion would have already arrived?

When they sneak on board the ships, they split up. Why split up? Wouldn't that increase the risk of getting permanently separated, and decrease the likelihood of surviving after getting caught?

Obi-wan and Qui-gon have to reach the humans of Naboo (where the Trade Federation is heading) by travelling to the planet's core. This clearly implies that the humans are on the opposite side of Naboo. Why didn't the Trade Federation just land on the planet outside of the human city? Wouldn't that save them the trouble of having to travel ACROSS HALF OF THE ENTIRE PLANET?

On Tatooine, Anakin has build a protocol droid C-3PO for his mother as a house servant. Why build a droid specifically designed for translating alien languages? To quote C-3PO himself, "I'm little more than an interpreter." Wouldn't it be more useful to build a droid that is actually designed for house maintenance?

In the prequels, R2-D2 can fly. Why can't he fly after the events of the prequels? He had plenty of opportunities (I understand this is a retcon, I'm saying it was a pointless one).

Palpatine told Darth Vader that Padme had lost the will to live. This brings up two problems: why doesn't this universe have the technology to prevent these deaths? Lightspeed and hyperspace travel, lightsabers, the Death Star, and they have NO technology to prevent mothers from dying in childbirth? Why does Padme "lose the will to live" if she knows that her husband is a murderer and her children will be unprotected without her? Wouldn't she want to make sure her children would grow up to be strong, and want to see it for herself? She seriously "lost the will to live"?
And if Darth Vader thought Padme had died because of him, wouldn't that bring up some HUGE questions when he discovered his two children were alive? Is he completely unaffected by this revelation that goes against everything he was taught about the moment that destroyed his life?

These plot holes are only to name a handfull. Seriously, this is nearly as bad as the plot holes of Breaking Dawn.

Here is my youtube homepage. Be sure to visit and subscribe!

As soon as you said "Prequels" then I knew that what you were on about.

Also, you're wrong.

Lol. No.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.
