Greetings,
My league of vigilant readers and I still continue on my personal retrospect on Star Wars while hoping that I'm done somewhere on this millennium, but you never know. So hit it Hot Waffles!

But there was more to the story of Leia, Han and Luke  

As I said on my previous post: Star Wars Episode II the Attack of the Clones is the worst of the prequels, because it's such a chore to watch, because George Lucas doesn't know how to write a character story as Mr. Plinkett already said, so how is it better than the Phantom Menace? It succeeds on being a better dumb action flick. The last half an hour of the Attack of the Clones is perfect. Even though it really doesn't make a lick of sense, but it's a better dumb action flick than the Phantom Menace and what's funny about this was that I knew this even when I was just 14. Since while the Phantom Menace just felt like it was lacking something, I watched that movie real horroshow and I still do, I just suffer some brain damage while doing so. But the Attack of the Clones is much worse because of the ridiculous and impossible love story between Anakin and Padme and the last thirty minutes of the movie, while being awesome and great still doesn't quite make it up, because that love story is so bad. 

But let's move on to last of the prequel films the Revenge of the Sith, which has been said by many people that it's best one in the prequel trilogy - why? Simple: it's the best dumb action flick of the bunch and that's mostly, because it's the darkest of the whole prequel trilogy. And that's about it. It comes closest of being kinda like the original trilogy while still failing, but by this point the audience didn't care, because we already saw the Phantom Menace, which is the most disappointing thing since Mr. Plinkett's son but unlike Mr. Plinkett's son it's not going to die. Then came Attack of the Clones which was slightly better than the Phantom Menace and Lord knows that's a huge step upwards, even though it was still really bad. But The Revenge of the Sith, while still being tshi and I mean really tshi was still the best one in comparison because of all the action and the fact that it was so dark and there was no rastafari duck rabbit creatures talking, which was also really good. 

But if younger generations like the prequel trilogy so much then why didn't the older ones like it? Well like Mr. Plinkett said the audience just didn't connect with them. There was no likeable characters in the prequel movies, just bunch of boring, creepy androids and so many characters that were just CG and that feel like they don't exist. Interestingly enough, Mr. Lucas said in a commentary track that he doesn't get that when people say that CG is feels fake, you see to Mr. Lucas it's just like puppets and models, they're all fake so if you can do those fake images easier, like say with computers it really doesn't matter, since we all know that Jabba the Hutt isn't real or R2-D2, so who cares how you do them? If there's is an easier way to create the illusions the better. But back to the likeable characters: I actually really cared for Queen Amidala. Yeah I know right? Why you may ask? Well she was responsible leader who cared for her subjects. Yeah she was really boring and uninteresting but atleast I cared for her, because I got her motivations and felt her frustration with the senate. I also really liked Watto. Who Didn't? But Why? Because he's cool. He's so grumpy and all but still cares for Anakin even though the kid doesn't really care for him. As a matter of fact one of my favorite scenes in the Attack of The Clones iss when Anakin and Watto meet again. To me it was really heartwarming to see them together. And also I really liked Dexter Jettster, because he was pretty cool too and he was the only one who made Obi-wan Kenobi actually smile and relax! I also liked the Emperor, because he was so evil and loved every minute of it. So not everyone in the Star Wars prequels is uninteresting and boring, just the main cast. 

But let's talk about the CG in the prequel movies. I agree there is way too much of it but it's understandable the filming of the New Hope was a real hell like you all most likely know so that's why Lucas put other people to direct the Empire Strikes Back and the Return of the Jedi and he started to make the prequel films the CG had evolved so much that it was possible for Lucas to have what ever he wanted to have also after the success of the original trilogy who was going to talk against Lucas? And that's the problem with the prequels Lucas had too much control like Mr. Plinkett said movies ain't made by just one person they usually tend to have a ton of people making them and in the case of the original trilogy they were done like a team especially because of Gary Kurtz who while let Lucas to do what he wanted also said what was going to work and what wasn't and that's why the original trilogy worked so well. The only one that almost doesn't work in the original trilogy is the Return of the Jedi because in Lucas had more control than in the previous ones but it still ten times the movies than any of the prequel movies.  

So yeah that's my review of the prequel movies. I know I didn't bring anything new on the table put like I said, I just needed an outlet after I realized what a horrible, horrible movies the prequel films were, and now let's go on all the small nitpicky things that bothered me, but what I really can't put on anywhere else:

Why is Grand Moff Tarkin's hair black? My problem with this, is because otherwise he looks so old. 

Why haven't the Giant Godzilla monster eaten the whole town of rastafari duck rabbit creatures? 

Why are the rastafari duck rabbit creatures so technologically advanced? My problem with this just comes, from the Ewoks which were just a bunch of oversized teddy bears and undersized wookies, but did they live in some sort of Future city USA? No! They lived in treehouses and used rocks and pointy sticks against the Empire and thus Lucas was able to have some sort of clever social commentary, on Vietkong beating US because they wanted to win - also because Lando Calrissian went and blew that Deathstar that, had the Emperor in it and also, because of - Ok, so it was a team effort. Much like how Vietkong won in the 'Nam. 

Why is Padme so boring in the Phantom Menace? Even though she was one of my favorite characters in it, she was really boring, but in Attack of the Clones she was energetic and kinda interesting for the longest time I thought they - Oh who am I fooling? I'm still thinking that Lucas had no idea - Oh wait he didn't have an idea. 

So that's it whit my review of the Star Wars prequels. But my personal retrospective on the Star Wars goes on. I'll take the Saturday off so come back on Sunday as I will try to wrap this whole thing up with the final part where I talk about the future of the Star Wars. 

Till then: live long and prosper Asahamana is out *snap*
