I don't see how this is a controversial take

Regardless of which movie is your favorite among the sequels, there's only one good one, so that's the same as the prequels, but the actiony choreography is worse across the board and the music likewise. So like...what does it have over them? Maybe a couple good money shots?

But he's saying 1-3 > the newer disney stuff

Which seems pretty unremarkable

Uh, acting by far? Arguably directing as well though ep9 is a chaotic mess.

Also plenty of people like both Ep 7 and 8, at least I'd bet more people than would be willing to defend TWO prequel movies unironically. So I say this take remains hot.

Uh.

Originals > Prequels > Sequels

I mean, I am confused that Lasa seems to think this is such a hot take. I think almost everyone would take the Prequels over the Sequels. If anything, the Sequels finally made people appreciate the Prequels more. The Sequels are just a jumbled mess.

i thought the force awakening was fine. as a whole, i think the ST is way better than the PT (though maybe RotS is on the same level as RoS). would have been a lot closer if TPM and AotC hadn't been such abominations.

anyway, my post wasn't about my opinion of the movies - my point was that "everyone thinks the prequels are better than the sequels" is a ridiculous claim. i don't think the "prequels > sequels" people are even in the majority. the prequels did gain a lot of goodwill because of the sequels but they're still pretty hated.

PT just seems to do really basic movie stuff so incredibly shittily to the point I can barely even countenance that opinion

There aren't many scenes in ST that are just nails-on-a-chalkboard awful to watch, but the PT has like, dozens (AotC alone has countless).

Force Awakens is good fun - and better than any PT movie, including RotS - and TLJ is made with a level of quality so far ahead of the PT. TROS is not good, but still trounces 1 and 2 because they are legitimately terrible movies - particularly 2.

The prequels are worse alone just because of the way they're filmed.

Either characters walking and talking, followed by a shot/reverse shot. Or characters standing then sitting down and talking, followed by a shot/reverse shot. Or characters initially sitting, followed by a shot/reverse shot.

The only time they don't do that is during heavily CGI scenes or the lightsaber duels (which can all feature a ton of CGI).

It's so terrible and dull to look at it. Nothing is dynamic during the non-action scenes.

ST is better movies but not nearly close to being as worth watching as the PT.

So PT is like your annoying friend who is still your friend, while ST is unremarkable normal guy.

PT is all terrible including 3, but they're funny and some of the dumb fight scenes are cool.

8 is fantastic, but JJ made a fake episode 8 during the first hour of episode 9, so I like to pretend it doesn't count and is it's own independent entity. 9 is the worst SW movie, so...I dunno, maybe P > S? You have to take ironic watching into account.

There's only one real moment that really gets to me anymore in the PT or ST, and that's when Rey first uses the force to grab the lightsaber out of the snow.

The minor swelling of the Force Theme.
The absolute look of bewilderment, apprehension, and yet a quiet determination on Rey's face as she has no idea what's going on but chooses to fight.
The slight "oh shit" face on Kylo Ren.

It's the last time Star Wars felt magical to me.

The frustrating thing is that before 9 I thought the Prequels > Sequels people were fucking lunatics and there was nothing on earth that could cause that to happen.

How wrong I was!

However, the "Prequels are actually good" camp are still morons.

This plus the followup post is an excellent analogy. The sequel trilogy (sans 8) is 'better done', and yet not worth watching. And then RoS is just flat out the worst star wars movie by a significant margin, and tanks the franchise in general going forward. I don't even know how you make more movies after it.

The sequels getting so much defense is gonna be the hot take in the future.

Hopefully no one takes this to mean the prequels are good, but this is a legit debate that will rage for a long time.

Also this. Before 9 dropped I would've said Sequels>Prequels even though I really disliked TFA. RoS is just indefensible though. It's actual poison and it kills me that so much money went into that movie that could've been given to better creators.

The true irony of making a movie that's so safe, bland, and apologetic to quell the anger of a toxic screaming portion of the fanbase that literally nobody is happy.

Episode 9 is a finale made for a strawman.

For all the problems the prequels had, at least they had a vision of what story they wanted to tell. Even though the actual execution is terrible, the movies were made with enough sincerity that they're kind of OK in a so-bad-it's-good way. The sequels are much more competently made, but they feel completely soulless because the only vision anyone had was "more Star Wars = $$$".

Yeahhh I didn't watch in theaters but when I got to this I couldn't do anything but laugh. Although at this point I've been just wanting the movie to get it over with for a while and from the whole secret star destroyers fleet and lightning show I've surrendered to just how dumb it all is.

Yes, this is the absolute lowest point out of the mainline movies. Regardless where you think RoS ranks overall, No single moment in the prequels is this bad.
