So I Want To Get Into Star Wars

Now watch the Clone Wars show. It's now on Netflix. You enjoyed the prequels, so you'll like the show even more. The show is excellent and adds a lot more depth and character to Anakin and Obi Wan during the prequel period and has some absolutely fantastic action scenes
 
Watch it in release order is how most people here have probably done it.

But I say go against the grain! Watch em chronologically and report back!

Be sure to wear a condom.

All jokes aside, skip the prequels and watch a original trilogy in release order. Unfortunately the theatrical releases don't exist.
Too late. He liked the prequel as much as the originals

It's kind of sad how people try to push their own opinions and biases onto others (Not completely aimed at you, but this thread in general)
 
On to the prequels. I should point out that I saw Mr. Plinketts review of the prequels before typing this, but I disregarded his opinions because he mostly disliked how similar they were to the originals. It's not something that I noticed and that seems to be extreme criticism.

He certainly mentions how badly the prequels shamelessly ape the "iconic visuals" of the original trilogy, but you weren't really paying attention if you think that's Plinkett's major issue with them.

You know what's funny, i didn't hate the prequels until i joined GAF. I enjoyed them for the most part even though some parts were cringe inducing. But when i joined GAF the vitriol for the prequels was so palpable it was easier to just blend in. Not that i cared that much to begin with. And to be honest, i actually don't mind the prequels even today. It's just much easier to not be forced to defend that position on GAF.

I will say that the biggest tragedy is the fact that we only have special editions of the OT. Who cares if you think Hayden was whiny, so was Luke in the wonderful ORIGINAL Star Wars. Not a new hope just STAR WARS.

Sorry I didn't realise I watched the wrong video. I had no idea his reviews were half as long as the movies themselves. This is the one that I saw. It's 8 minutes long.

Watch "Why the Star Wars prequels suck according to Mr. Plinkett (biggest reason why)" on YouTube - https://youtu.be/c_W5OuuV-hk


I started watching his actual reviews and most of what he says I didn't notice as I was watching. Only after he started pointing things out did I notice. But they're just movies, I don't like them any less.

I will continue to watch his reviews though.
 
Watch the original trilogy, Stay away from the prequels and TV shows.

Stay away from the TV shows

The fuck?

Don't listen to this. Instead of wasting your time with the fucking reviews from people actively trying to make you dislike the movies watch "The Clone Wars" which makes episodes II and III a LOT better with added backstory and awesome characters, particularly Anakin's apprentice Ahsoka Tano.

Hell the best arcs in that series are better than most of the OT too.

EDIT; GIF fiesta!

Honestly just don't watch the prequels. They ruin the mystery behind the original trilogy and add plot holes. They are really that bad.
I did like them. They're not as good as the original trilogy but they're fun and worth watching.
 
I watched the prequel trilogy first and then the original trilogy. Just a few days ago I rewatched Episode 1 for the first time in forever. The two things that stood out to me the most were how little emotion the characters ever showed and how bad the aliens' racist accents were. lol
