You can say ROTJ was the "last legit Star Wars" without meaning that the prequels are heretical texts. Unless you just want to pick a really dumb internet fight, which you clearly do. fake edit: "lol"

The last legitimate Star Wars film came out a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.

I'm recognizing that they're just much worse in quality than the original trilogy and TFA. Actors phoned in performances. The scripts for all three were atrocious. I'm not even leveling criticism like some nerd who's miffed that what they thought should happen didn't happen. I'm saying that what was released was poorly made and mostly incoherent with some good ideas sprinkled over and not on the same tier as the OT and TFA.

And please don't lol. It's a very serious matter that some folks don't see the prequels as the Saturday morning cartoon based on the OT that they actually are.

The reason we haven't seen Luke's green saber yet is because he hid it inside of R2 again.

Brother Entropy posted:a saturday morning cartoon based on a saturday morning cartoon? Based on actual movies. Remember when that Men in Black cartoon came on Saturdays after the movie was successful? Not the greatest movie in the world, but the cartoon was silly season. Which was great if you were a child just waking up and waiting for Spider-Man and Batman TAS reruns. Probably a bad example though because that cartoon was actually decent iirc unlike the prequel films.

I can't think of any set of criteria that would make a movie like a Saturday morning cartoon that would apply to the PT but not the OT. Even "follows from an established film series" applies to 2/3rds of the OT.

I remember when I was waiting in line for TFA and I heard the guys in front of me in line complain about midichlorians for over twenty minutes. "If George Lucas had not created the prequels, it would have been necessary to invent them" - the Porg

You're not focusing on what I actually said though. I was speaking mainly about quality, and less about the premise of the whole thing. Although, while we're on that topic, let's go there! The fact that the prequels were telling a story that didn't need to be told is not something that I hold against them. If executed well, they could have been rewarding experiences. They just weren't. "Solo," however, has a much higher bar to meet. I see no upside to that film existing. It will likely only cheapen one of the best (if not the best) characters in the entirety of Star Wars or even cinema. Such is the curse of prequels in any genre.

Luke is all about those BBQ pulled porg sandwiches on Ach-To, when he isn’t busy building hot rod kit cars with the lizard nuns or drinking himself to sleep because he was a stupid rear end in a top hat who thought it’d be an amazing idea to train Vader’s grandkid in the ways of the Force. Man, I sure hope Watto shows up out of nowhere in TLJ. Maybe even the Greg Proops podracing commentary alien.

By the way there's no point in trying to decide whether the prequels or TFA are worse because the ways they're bad are so different. Maybe even the exact inverse of each other.

Red Tails was actually a good movie with a positive message. I know this because the 2012 national champion Alabama football team watched it during their team meeting and proceeded to beat the everloving poo poo out of Notre Dame on live television the next day.
