@mightydudbolt I watch old movies and I don't accept that they're great because they looked like shit on purpose because the director was too lazy to film on location. like what are we doing here

This is why I always wonder how many people watch old movies.
I like this shot of Palpatine's office because you have this nice old-fashioned tableau of all these interesting characters (I especially like the suggestive way Palpatine is positioned in the shot), and you have an amazing blue-tinted view of Coruscant out of this huge (and probably sort of iconic now) elliptical window which contrasts with the red walls.
I also like this rear-projection shot of Moses, Aaron, and Pharaoh in front of the Nile as it turns to blood--even though it honestly looks kind of fake--for similar aesthetic reasons.
And this was specifically the kind of old-fashioned Hollywood epic style Lucas was seeking to emulate. Whether people want to concede this or not, this was a huge factor in people thinking the prequels looked stupid and weird, because virtually no one else at the time was bold enough to commit to doing something like this. It wasn't just the CGI or the digital camera people were reacting to.

@mightydudbolt I don't think the staging in this scene isn't good, the problem is the backdrop and the CG characters

@phvntomist gotta be Ludwig. hard but not controller-breakingingly so, and the transition from beast to reawakened man is simply incredible, from the seamless change in OST to how his entire attack pattern changes to reflect his reclaimed lucidity. the only cutscene in any game I never skip.

The StarWars Sequels are better than the StarWars Prequels

@SJWheeljack >19 year olds who only like revenge of the sith out of that trilogy
English

>19-year-olds with strong positive feelings about the Prequels at the expense of the Original Trilogy

Revenge of the sith is better than the entire original trilogy btw

@VilOwns @DssrMarian okay now remember none of those things were actually executed well

@DssrMarian Anakin turning, obi wan vs Anakin, Yoda vs Palpatine, order 66, the entire buildup of the universe was for this

Star Wars fans don't deserve Andor. Just let the whole franchise die. I don't care anymore. So much ado over a film series with approximately four good movies between them over its 50 year history. Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to.

Star Wars is about maintaining your moral character in the face of adversity and even defeat. Victory is not achieved by compromising those morals or taking up the torch of those who did.
