i enjoyed the prequels in all honesty. some of the fight scenes were badass, and i liked young vaders story however...

LUCAS WRITES REALLY BAD, DUMB AND CRINGEWORTHY LOVE SCENES

like, just edit those out. not even good editing just redact em all and the movies would get so much better even if they make less sense.

Which makes no sense to me because the love scenes from the original trilogy with Solo and Leia are wonderful.

Oh wait, that's because Lucas never wrote those stuff, other people did.

He's a bad writer in general. The dialogue overall in the prequels was horrible

monarchy and fascism are not really the same thing though homie. i know its easy to point to any different ideology than your own and scream

"FASCIST!"

shit, the left has been doing it for years, but believe it or not, there is a wide array of political systems out there. some of them are even worse than the liberals, and some are better.

I loved in A New Hope when they escape from the Death Star and Princess Leia says they're being tracked so what do they do? They go right to the rebel base.


They did that on purpose.

While I know you meant that as a joke, it might be worth considering that "The Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded". We've seen Jedi basically mind-fuck people into doing all sorts of things.

While one could argue "But Padme isn't weak-minded", we don't really know how that sort of thing is measured in the first place. And if Anakin is one of the most powerful Jedi to ever live, he's probably capable of pulling off things even other Jedi would consider impossible.

It's entirely possible that he subconsciously brainwashed her into falling in love with him, when under normal circumstances she wouldn't have in a million years.

And yes, I know that wasn't Lucas' intention, and the real answer is just that he's incredibly shitty at writing believable romantic dialogue, but it's interesting to consider.

No, but they did make the entire backstory to the OT completely stupid.

The first time you watch A New Hope and Obi-Wan mentions stuff like the Clone Wars or meeting Anakin, there's an allure of mystery and intrigue about the past. Then you watch the prequels and those vague references all stop mattering because now you know literally everything he mentions is either a lie, or was generally terrible.

And we won't even get into what Anakin being a whiny bitch 112% of the time does to your perception of Darth Vader.

The prequels absolutely make the OT worse simply by existing.

To be fair, "totalitarian" and "autocratic" aren't necessarily the same thing as "fascist". Fascism as a concept includes certain economic assumptions as well as aspects of nationalistic dictatorship.

In the movies alone, we aren't really given much information about just HOW the Imperial government is run, so it's actually hard to say that it's definitively a fascist government. We only assume it's fascist because it's clearly modeled on the real-world Nazis. It could easily be a different kind of totalitarian dictatorship.

I'm sure there's probably tons of info in the EU about the economic structure of the Empire, but none of that matters because the EU is hot garbage.

What's not to love about an angry overly emotional child-murdering man that eventually almost force chokes his pregnant wife to death? /s

Conceptually, the prequels are nice since their a complete deconstruction of the "Child Prodigy" and "Chosen One" tropes. Anakin does everything that you wouldn't expect from either of those typical hero archetypes. Too bad they didn't have someone actually worth a damn writing them though...

Obi Wan being full of shit was established in the OT itself with the whole, "Darth Vader killed your father...well okay, he is actually Anakin, but his soul, man! He killed his soul, or something..."

If Anakin did basically mind rape Padme, which is certainly possibly considering he was a kid when she first met her, and I don't think most women tend to develop romantic feelings for kids even after they grow up, it could explain some things.

Like how she could just "die" from being sad after having the kids. Perhaps she was struggling the whole time against the "love" that was forced apon her. The killing of the kids, and the pure evil that she saw Anakin becoming was too much for her, and since she couldn't lift the compulsion, she just gave up and died.

That would make Anakin evil even before many of his other actions, since he dominated her will, to make her love him.

That underlying act could actually be what led him down the path to the darkside more then anything else.

Kinda puts a different spin on the whole story.

I can't wait til Solo comes out so we can all see what the Kessel Run was, because that's incredibly important to the story and vital for us all to know.
