Madmartigan from Willow was an early inspiration for how the Jedi might dress in the prequels, mixed with Luke's look from Return of the Jedi. Eventually, those influences were downplayed in favor of a costume that tied Episode I Obi-Wan more closely to his familiar look from the original movies, and all that remained of the Madmartigan idea was the hairstyle that evolved into the Padawan braid. plus  equals

CelticPredator posted:I found some threads Hot drat. I posted in that first thread! I was about to post a message about how 'i was there in this very forum nerding about Star Wars' and there you go. Disappointingly I couldn't find a post in the CineD ROTS thread. I'm sure I discussed it to death here as that was peak SA / my nerdom. It must have been in GBS. How are you doing the searches? I've never managed to successfully do much in the way of archive searches. There's a whole treasure trove of sad teenager Isometric that I want to read again. On topic, I remember at the time a particular goon had gone out of his way to re-edit the films to be paced much less awkwardly and have much less Anakin / Jar Jar. That was my way of watching the prequels through most of the aughts.

I no longer have any idea of what my thoughts about AotC were when I got out of the theater vs. what I picked up from discussion after the fact. I waited in line for a very very long time, but I don't recall seeing it more than once in theaters. By the time Sith came out I had to get dragged to it and remember getting a cup of water partway through and loitering in the lobby to kill time for a while before going back in.

Guy A. Person posted:it's directly analogous because all the people insisting they were just doing this begrudgingly while fighting back tears of rage were probably just having fun, and are just embarrassed by that fact in retrospect A lot of things in the 90s are like that where in the no-fun-allowed dark edgy mature 00s everyone had to performatively rage and swear about the idea that anyone ever might have genuinely liked a thing. No Mods No Masters posted:I think it's pretty fair to not really like the extent to which the prequels decided the jedi were basically completely monks and not really knights at all, but it's so fundamental to the premise I guess I don't really consider it a setting problem. I guess it's kind of just transposing lucas's branding savvy from the real world onto the organization in the fiction Pretty sure the inspiration was heavily on the Knights Templar (like say, a certain robe-wearing knight we see in another movie Lucas famously worked on) who were kinda both. As well as the idea of eastern martial arts movie monks who practice meditation and mysticism and exotic impractical weapons that kill you in creative ways. The Jedi are basically the Shaolin, complete with the destruction of the temple.

I remember liking AotC at the time more than TPM (but not really liking either). I don't remember anything about my reaction RotS at all.

I was initially pretty impressed with RotS but as time went on I cooled on it; the exact same cycle I had with Rogue One. I still would say it's the best of the prequels, but....I dunno; I would sit down to watch any of the OT movies; even Jedi, if for the Vader/Palpatine/Luke scenes alone. I probably wouldn't for any of the PT or even ST ones.

These days if I'm going to sit down and watch a prequel (or, rather, have it on in the background) it's gonna be RotS just because there's always some fun nonsense happening, there are fewer dull and slow conversation scenes, and it reminds me most of The Clone Wars. AotC is probably my favorite of the bunch in terms of sitting down engaged and actually watching the narrative unfold. TPM has some good moments but I've seen it more than enough times in my life, but is the most like a real movie. As much as I respect the prequels for many reasons, I'm not really ever going to be jazzed about watching them again. Ultimately, if I ever get the urge to watch a prequel I'll probably just put on a Clone War instead. e: I have been interested in watching one of the more acclaimed TPM fan edits, though. Mostly just out of curiosity for something different and leaner, but I'm open to wacky fan Special Edition nonsense. I'm out of touch with that community, though.

I The prequels were bad but they made money from curios general audience, gen z kids, and self hating nerds As time has gone on they have become more looked on fondly due to nostalgia and the various expanded universe material that has patched them up like the various cartoons, comics, novels, etc

Revenge of the Sith is weird because it's the only Lucas-made Star War that doesn't heavily borrow from another movie.
What Revenge of the Sith draws on instead is just... real life, and there's a bunch of references to what America was going through:
In the same way Godzilla was an attempt to use science fiction to work through fears about atomic warfare, Revenge of the Sith is Lucas posting "WATCH BUSH START A loving WAR" over and over again for two hours.

Hot take: the prequels are actually good movies I was 19 when TPM was released and I was a dumb nerd and so got bothered by stuff like midchlorians and whatever. But still watched the movie like 3 times. And the other 2 movies I did enjoy a lot And I rewatched all the prequels older and liked them even more.

It wasn’t the prequels but I remember getting so caught up in Star Wars hype I recorded the local news that did a special segment on the Jabba restoration in a New Hope.

I liked Star Wars just fine as a kid but it was really my buddy who was obsessed with it. Big KOTOR fan too. I loved the Lego sets and pretending to be a space wizard so I went along with it. We went with another dude to see RotS together, it was pretty cool of an experience at 12. Really liked Grievous's design.

I first saw AOTC a week before it hit theaters on an extremely blurry bootleg video, and was hyped and thought it was way better than TPM. There's a scene with like 800 lightsabers!
