When I was young and I saw Star wars, I loves it. But there was one thing so comically stupid, I was unable to take it seriously.

Dark side corruption is so dumb. People don't age 20 times faster just cause they bad...

Man, I cannot believe that the only thing I thought was ridiculous is one of the most obvious now. :blob_facepalm:

@LukeAlmighty Also, Palpatine "aging" turned out to just be the result of him force lightning-frying his own face.

I actually liked the idea of evil corrupting his entire body far more..
@ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty Explaining everything diminishes everything. That's the core error of the prequel trilogy right there, a bigger own goal than Ewoks or JarJar.

Hating on prequels... How original.

I know some people don't care, but I am just amazed just for how miniscule details are some people willing to throw away such a masterpiece of phenomenal storytelling as prequels.

@LukeAlmighty >masterpiece of phenomenal storytelling as prequel Please don't tell me you're gonna be the second "Thing X is popular, therefore I will do the opposite to conform to anti-conformity like the good little mental-13 clique-conformer I am." I've encountered today... @judgedread @ChristiJunior

@cowanon @ChristiJunior @judgedread
I would argue, but there are some bad faith arguments so bad, they don't deserve it.

Oh my god. Just immagine... I love prequels. What a crime...

@LukeAlmighty >misconstruing the rightful spitting up the Star Wars prequels as hatred against ALL prequels Next you'll tell us all you were just pretending to be retarded. @ChristiJunior @judgedread
@LukeAlmighty @cowanon The big flaw of the prequels for me is related to the acting and character chemistry. Most of stuff involving Palpatine is excellent, making the fall of the Republic storyline very strong. Anakin going over to the dark side kinda flubs the execution (he sure transitions quickly from freaking out over killing a Jedi Master he hated to massacring children), but has lots of good elements. The world building is generally very good, the action scenes are great fun, and the music is wonderful.

Overall the Prequel Trilogy is very flawed, but worthwhile, and infinitely better than the Disney Trilogy.
@ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty @cowanon The prequels could've been fixed with some good editing, the sequels needed a total rewrite.

@ArdanianRight @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty @cowanon I believe Topher Grace made his own edits to the prequels a while back and screened it privately to his friend. Various people over years have also written up ways of editing the prequels to be good.
