I won't defend the prequels as perfect movies or anything, although I do think they're quite good. The sheer level of vitriol thrown at them (or in some cases, the people who like them) frankly astonishes me, however.

MisterBibs posted:I think part of it was that Mace (correctly) knew that Palpatine could pull any number of strings in the Senate to get off on any charges the Jedi put on him. So he had to die, but it would be a murder without trial, which goes against the Republic, which is allied with the Jedi, which Mace starts the fight by arresting palpatine, he does not advocate murder until he falls to the dark side.

Phi230 posted:Im just glad the prequels are forgotten and we are moving forward with good star wars and not baby goo. "forgotten" (has 4 pages of posts in this thread about the prequels) it's incredibly telling that no one cares to talk about TFA, even when every 20 pages or so someone whines about what's being talked about and then people talk about the OT or prequels again i'm shocked--SHOCKED--that no one said general hux was their favorite character when we were discussing characters a couple pages ago (or rey or finn or poe for that matter either)

It lasted for about 8 hours and then the thread died for a few days because there was nothing to talk about. Then prequel talk started up again. I think I decided I'd love to see a separate "no prequels talk allowed' thread now, because it would be hilarious to see it go completely silent after like a week. Yaws posted:I just wish the prequels didn't look like fan films half the time. Is it too much to ask that a big budget movie at least look like a big budget movie? The special effects and overall look of the prequels was mostly praised at the time, they are groundbreaking in that regard. They don't look like a big budget movie would look if made today, in 2016, but is that really a legitimate criticism?

Ghost of a movie theater, see good and bad movies, talk all you want without bothering people. The only downside is when the theater goes out of business and you're left haunting an empty husk.

Since Han has never been good with finances, he pimped out Chewie to Maz to cut down on the band/open bar expenses. His command for Chewie to stay in the Falcon was unnecessary, as Chewie was never going back there.

There's nothing to talk about right now WRT TFA as the story isn't really done yet. All we can really go is -- wait for the sequels. Once this story is complete I feel we can begin to discuss it as much as the PT and OT are.

I think its more the opposite, we know so much about what's going on and where things are headed that its less fun to speculate. Like, I personally find the Knights of Ren very interesting and I'd like to discuss what their history might be and how Kylo may have come to be associated with them. But I'm pretty sure this has all been explained already in some novelization, comic, or t.v. show, so as soon as the questions are presented someone will post a pretty definitive answer that makes further discussion pointless.

Stfu about that maz statue. The only people that bring it up are people who enjoy the prequels and it's because they read way too much into things (because, with the prequels, you HAVE to read too much into them to get anything of substance).

They've happily left the sequel trilogy mostly alone in the nu eu. There have been some horrible books that cover the kind of early days of the first order and end of the empire, and some stuff that has dumb stories where poe dameron is smug and dashing while doing side quests set prior to tfa. There's almost nothing touching upon the actual mysteries of the period, just stuff that answers some 'who are the first order' type questions. Almost everything else has been set between eps 4 and 5 (almost all of the comics) or prior to it.

How does not knowing what's going to happen in a sequel make it impossible to talk about a film that has actually been released? Are people waiting till they're all out before watching?

The problem is speculation. We cant really talk about TFA without prequel tards droning on about how Snoke is Jar Jar loving Binks or Mace Windu. Hyperbole of course but the point is we cant talk too much about it without rampant speculation
