What went wrong?

Correct.

But he didn’t do that, the sequels are doing ”fanwank” (or pandering). What do you mean by iconography?

Star wars fans didn’t like the prequels because it didn’t pander and told a story about how anakin was a whiny fascist, leia’s mom is a retard, the jedi are racist and dumb, etc.

The fans

FPBP
Cringe and clueless.

>But he didn’t do that
He did it all the fucking time. It's why Anakin Skywalker is the center of the universe. It's why Jango Fett exists and why the Clones are just an army of Boba Fetts. It's why Chewbacca shows up to help Yoda. It's why C3PO is built by Anakin and why R2D2 is around the whole time too. As overall movies they are very different from the OT and have a much stronger identity than the ST has, but they're still filled to the brim with it. If you can't see this your are blind.

absolutely nothing

20 years later youre still talking about them

i like to shitpost more about the prequels than the sequels because at least i've seen one of them

>I
Muddled Obi-Wan and Yoda's characters to the point they're no longer recognizable
In fact he made the entire Jedi Order absolutely autistic then shoved in a foil out of fear the audience somehow didn't understand RotJ
>II
Fumbled the particulars of the love story to the point it's a literal joke. What's far worse is Obi-Wan and Anakin have no believable teacher/student relationship setting up the latter's fall.
>III
Lucas plays the death of the Jedi order as some great sorrow in stark contrast to what he brow beat you with in I and originally set up in RotJ. Anakin and Obi-Wan still have a "relationship" that is almost wholly implied.

The primary sins of Clones and Sith are both left to be fleshed out by the Deuterocanon cartoons. None of the prequels are bad in concept but their composition is so utterly flawed it doesn't matter.

none of Geoge's friends want to direct

Because they read TPM's script.

I understant the criticism for I and II since they are pretty bad, but III is a really good movie that can walk along V and VI.

Anakin was the centre of the OT too you fuckwit
The rest of that is just minor stuff that has next to no impact on the overall quality. I don't like half of it either, but incessantly reeeing over it for 20 years is kinda pathetic

I'm gonna guess it's Attack of the Clones, am I correct?

>Anakin was the centre of the OT too you fuckwit
He was an important part of the story. That's not the same thing as being central to the Force and the setting itself and being born from a virgin.

The prequels were much better written, they had actual characters and story, not a bunch of memes and one-liners that lack any emotion or coherence. Luke is a cliched everyboy "hero" that goes through an absurdly rapid transformation between the fifth and the sixth episodes. Anakin's emotional instability and his exposure as a psychopath are gripping; and his doomed relationship with Padme is touching. In the "original trilogy" Han, Leia, Darth Vader and Obi Wan are complete meme characters, nothing about them is remotely believable or human. And why doesn't anyone care about deaths in those movies? Leia's planet destruction, Luke's stepparents' death, all of the blown up rebels--the list could go on--all the deaths are forgotten moments later.

As for direction, the movies from the "original trilogy" were mostly incoherent, badly edited and full of logical problems. The prequel trilogy is a work of a "vulgar auteur".

I feel neutral about the series overall, and honestly don't care about trolling or contrarianism. Here are my sincere rankings:

1. "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones"
2. "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace"
3. "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith"
4. "Star Wars"
5. "The Empire Strikes Back"
6. "Return of the Jedi"
7.
8. "The Force Awakens"
9. "The Last Jedi"
10. "Rise of Skywalker"

Episodes 7, 8 and 9 aren't even Star Wars movies. They are Marvel flicks masquerading as one.

The only one he's not super central to is A New Hope and even in that one he's very important.

FPBP.

Phantom is the best of the prequels imo. Not even trying to be contrary.

no. i saw the first one at the theatre. why would i watch the second one if i hadn't seen the first

Read the rest of the post. Read slower. Use your noggin my little teen friend.

>niggas name is Anakin
>literally named after the Greek goddess of Destiny (Ananke - which roughly translates as 'Force')
I'm calling BS on Anakin being important to the Force not being something Lucas had in mind from the start

>kid Anakin
>Jar Jar
>splitting up Anakin and Obi-Wan in AotC
>turning Padme into a lovesick retard in RotS
>not enough Qui-Gon
>not enough Dooku
>not enough Windu
other than that, kinio.

He didn't even have Anakin as Darth Vader until TESB's second draft.

Nothing. The fact the prequels are memed to this day not only by normies but here too says everything it has to say about it's cultural impact. The only people who hated the prequels were literal retards and were the reason for George to sell SW to Disney to be destroyed. Fuck OTfags. Fuck them, fuck them. Fuck them all.

Reminder that the prequels were loved before Mike Plinkett Stoklasa sharted all over the internet
