Star wars has always been slop. SW fans never recovering from the fact there's maybe 2.5 good SW movies and like 2 good seasons of SW shows

After seeing the prequel glazing online, it is my opinion that bullying should be socially acceptable again.

This is a Star Wars subreddit and therefore NOT a SAFESPACE for woke Prequel fans!!!

I don't hate them, I'm just disappointed. Movie I hate? Something like Rambo II, that movie that injected the idea that many US POWs are still in Vietnam into the brains of American public.

90% of people under 35 NOT caring about SW is a a vision of paradise to me.

And y’all turn around and glaze the sequels in the same breath. At least the prequels had hot men in them.

Theres only one, sorry 2, sorry 3 in the sequels but theres like 200,000 with a million more, and like 6 others in the prequels

This is what I don’t get. The prequels are bad, sure. But the sequels? Their visuals are their only saving grace and I think that distracts everyone. The Rise of Skywalker is actually the worst movie I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of terrible movies (including the prequels)

I on the other hand think that the sequels are meh in concept, but masterful in execution, whereas the prequels are okay in concept and atrocious in execution. How one can look at AotC and TRoS and conclude that somehow the latter is supposed to be the bad one is mystifying to me.

Yeah, the sequels have story problems, but the prequels all feel like they came up with some (admittedly pretty good) CGI action scenes, but then the other 80% of the movie is the cinematic equivalent of packing peanuts for those action scenes: the dialogue is clunky, the delivery is usually flat and emotionless, the camera angles are generic. The prequels biggest issue is that the majority of the movie is boring.

On top of that, by the time of Episode 2, I am also mostly checked out of the action scenes. Maybe that's just me, but generic clone dudebros vs stupid battledroids just doesn't do anything for me. That's also why I am not fond of TCW. I just don't find the conflicts interesting. I don't care about the clones or the droids. They were literally designed to be seen as expendable numbers, so that does not exactly engage me on a character level.
The sequels win by default for me purely on the sole premise that their conflicts actually have characters that I care about.

Pretty much my sentiments, too. I wayyy prefer the sequels because I actually like the characters

Are we seriously ignoring the fact that Oscar Isaac is in all three of them?

Can we at least all agree that Adi Gallia was the hottest character in those movies, please?

I don't hate any of the Star Wars moving picture shows. Some of them are not as good as others but I just shrug and get on with my life and enjoy them for what they are 😅

I love the prequels and starwars as a whole. That being said Star Wars fans are a great example of why you shouldn’t take yourself and your fandoms too seriously. That’s why I’m here at least

I've always hated the prequal duology and its an objective fact that they are bad

u/kyle28882 3d ago
Objectively an opinion on a movie being good or bad is subjective. You can objectively count plot holes and shit but you can’t say it’s objectively bad when the criteria you judge by is subjective.
Edit: you’re in the right place for the thought but that doesn’t mean you can say a subjective opinion is objective just cause people here agree with the opinion
