@manwhalebird I think it's mostly nostalgia rather than a fair judgment of the film, honestly. But if you like it, that's fine. I also love the PT, but I wouldn't say they're good movies.

@Boongo_15 That and I do like the new worlds, Kamino and Geonosis. And Jango is cool. And seeing Christopher Lee will never cease to make me smile.

No one will ever convince me that Attack of the Clones is even close to The Last Jedi in terms of film quality. Love this movie and have great memories, but it's just not good as a film.

7/10 vs 2/10 hmmm I sure wonder

The Phantom Menace or The Force Awakens?

In Andor the Empire tortures people, holds them captive in the middle of the ocean, and forces them to work until they collapse from exhaustion; and conducts mass executions of civilians.
In the OT the Empire is defeated by teddy bears in the forest.

The reason Andor is aging poorly for me is because I realized the Empire is insanely incompetent in the show and it ruins the whole "actually evil serious threat" thing In the prison Cassian was through in there were a total of like 30 guards in the entire complex, which was a vital slave labor source for the most important industrial project the Empire was undertaking The Empire sent more soldiers to antagonize Ferrix during Aunt Petunia's funeral because they are mustache twirling saturday morning villains instead of a serious entity
English
@GWBPatriot The Empire has never been as terrifying as it was in Andor. Literally a single TIE Fighter was more terrifying than an army of stormtroopers in the OT. I belive even Filoni said that it was the most evil thing he ever saw in SW. That's such an absurd take.

The Sietch of Sci-Fi |@TSoS_
We need more stories like Andor, not just because it's good, but because right wing idiots hated it so much, they are still coming up with hilarious new contrarian takes to this day because they can't grapple with their own ideology being represented as ultimate evil.

@LRBenL "I also watched TLJ again a month ago. I wanted to gouge my eyes out"
You can't stand a movie that is actually well written?
English
I literally just watched AotC again a month ago. I loved it.
I also watched TLJ again a month ago. I wanted to gouge my eyes out.

Looking at the reactions to this tweet, I can say with certainty that many Star Wars fans haven't seen AotC in a very long time. Also, a single lightsaber fight, a battle, or a planet does not determine the quality of the entire film. The main plot is what matters most here.
English
@manwhalebird Rewatching AotC is a challenge for me. I almost fell asleep halfway through the movie while rewatching it. It's just boring. The senate scenes, this whole Anakin-Padme arc, the droid factory... it goes on forever and it's visually pretty bad. The only good thing is the score.
English
@Boongo_15 For me, they're more or less on a similar wavelength: a few good things about them, but there are certainly glaring issues that hold them back.
That said, I'm a liiiiittle more inclined to rewatch AotC a few times more than TLJ. It's complicated.
English
@mastermulcharmy Nope, I just have my own opinion and have actually seen this movie more than once.
Oh, and I actually understand the plot.

I will die on this hill: comments like this are driven almost entirely by nostalgia.
People who grew up with the PT are much less likely to view them objectively.
The same is true of me with the OT, and will be true of the generation that grows up with the ST.

The Phantom Menace is a masterpiece compared to soulless Disney slop, I don't care what anyone says soft rebooting star wars especially in the way it was made was bad and a sign of big trouble for the franchise.
English
@Boongo_15 Clones is hands down the worst of all things Star Wars
English
I don't even want to think about how many Star Wars fans haven't seen these movies since their release and have changed their minds about them because of grifters like him.
Rational Fandom@OotyMcTooty
Classic example of this is Star Wars Theory, who was GLOWING about TLJ until he realised there was more grift in hating. He was by no means the only one.

If you look at TLJ, it was commercially hugely successful, critically received as one of the best-made SW movies and received top marks from audiences.
I genuinely don't understand what else makes a movie 'good'?
Jeb Williams@JebWilliams
@OotyMcTooty @k3r2igh24r49036 lol, no it doesn’t. How much money a movie makes doesn’t factor into the quality of a movie
English
@Rick25German @bratwurstinator > SW is bad
> haven't even seen it

@bratwurstinator Hab ich gra nicht mehr gesehen. Inzwischen spare ich mir mehr der Neuerscheinungen als ich schaue. Und Mando habe ich in Staffel 3 abgebrochen.

@Amilli1103 The story and writing in TLJ are miles above AotC and I'm not even joking lol
English
@Boongo_15 The story and writing is horrid in the last Jedi, just bc it has “cool special effects” doesn’t make it a better movie
English
@TriFininity How exactly did TLJ "destroy" Star Wars? I'm genuinely asking. Name some aspects of the plot, characters, storylines - anything. Just leave out the “they killed Luke” bs please.
English
@Boongo_15 Who cares, the last Jedi deyroryed Star Wars in a way that hadn’t covered nearly a decade later
English
@SemvanManen The only movie that AotC is above is TCW movie. It's easily the worst Skywalker Saga film and it's not even close.
English
@Boongo_15 You’re right about it not being close. But Attack of the Clones is above TLJ with head and shoulders.
English
@MaelstromHarbor '-Kenobi's detective plot and Romeo&Juliet in space'
You summed up that movie perfectly lmao
With the rest I simply disagree. Some planets were interesting (and over time iconic) like Geonosis, or Kamino, but the main plot, performances, dialogues are terrible.
English
@Boongo_15 -Coruscant > Canto Bait
-Naboo and Tatooine > whatever Salt Planet that was
-Kenobi's detective plot and Romeo&Juliet in space > slow Ass 1.5 hour long chase
-every AotC character > every TLJ character
-battle of Geonosis > lame ass bootleg Rohirrim charge vs AT AT
objectively
English
@mastermulcharmy Almost everything, except for a few unnecessary jokes and some of the casino scenes. The rest is beautiful, both visualy and story-wise.
English
@Boongo_15 What exactly is good about TLJ other than the fact that it finally ended
English
@NeoEmc2 The Clone Wars? Maybe. But definitely not Attack of the Clones lmao.
English
@Boongo_15 The clone wars is leagues ahead of the last Jedi don’t even compare them, bro.
