If you could erase the prequels from ever existing, would you?

No. As ropey as they were, they're the last Lucas-helmed Star War movies and are a million times better than the sequels.
>>
no
>>
>>217769528
Yes, easily
SW goes back to being the OT og version and stays like that.
there is no point for that shit to exist

anything alien/predator/terminator etc get all sequels after the first one (theatrical) erased
all reboots and unnecessary remakes get canned
all franchisefaggotry, like marvel gets the boot
>>
>>217769528
Yes. I'm trans btw, not sure if that's relevant
>>
I'm leaning towards no because george made some of his best designs for those films even if the films themselves are mediocre at best
The world would be lesser without CIS designs

>>217770174
Star Wars prequels and Marvel are better than any of that boomer trash you listed. Fuckin deal with it, loser
>>
>>217769528
I'd delete RotJ first
>>
>>217769528
Yeah, because then I could cling to my headcanon where the Empire had been a thing for thousands of years and the Emperor was an ancient, body-hopping wizard.
>>
Fuck no. Without the Prequels, Battlefront 2 doesn't exist, which is the only thing worth a damn in the entire multimedia franchise.
>>
I dont care about Star Wars enough to erase films from the franchise. I would much rather erase digital sets from Hollywood.

I mean, yeah but also obviously comes with deleting the sequels as well. Only the first original trilogy should have ever really existed

fpbp.
Despite their flaws, they are great fun films to watch, and it's better than anything Disney has put out and I wouldn't get rid of them.

No.
PT provided a good springboard for many great Star Wars stories. Imagine the world without The Clone Wars, Republic Commando or even KOTOR, that was very heavily inspired by PT.

It's not shit.
It's near the same level as ROTJ.

At least say kotor not some EA normie slop.

Battlefront 2 is the best Star Wars game there is.

>>217769528
i watched them as a kid, free from any boomer criticism from fans of the old trilogy, and aside from child anakin and jarjar I enjoyed all of them quite a bit. revenge of the sith is my favorite out of them, and after a full prequel trilogy rewatch I still get emotional during the duel on Mustafar.

maybe the parts with the ewoks, lmao

>Would you erase kino?
No? Why the hell would I do that? Are you going to ask me if I'd erase my best black friend Robert next?!
>>
>>217769528
Yes. This would likely also erase the sequels. And the sequels are so bad, the prequels are not good enough to make up the gap.
>>
>>217771140
why are you so anally gaped that the prequel trilogy is widely enjoyed today?
>>
>>217769528
No, I wish we got to see lucases full vision instead. As retarded as it all is it doesn't really matter, only thing that matters is that it was a man's unique vision and not some corpo slop
>>
>>217771133
Yes, the Ewoks weigh ROTJ down, put it below ROTS.

>>217771133
Hating Ewoks is a sign that you're mentally a 12 year old trying very hard to seem adult.

Yes, I'd also rename IV to I.

>>217771241
Why erase the only SW worth existing?
that's like erasing Terminator to silence the 3-4 people who pretend to like Dark Fate
>>
>>217769528
No. They're soulful movies. George was honestly trying his hardest to make genuine entertainment and not just a by the numbers cash grab rehash of 4-6 (like the sequels were). The fact they're still beloved and talked about 30+ years on while the sequels barely get threads is all you need to know.
>>
>>217771202
>this shit is better than that other shit
>>
>>217771272
>. George was honestly trying
And failed
and that's why nobody liked them
intent is irrelevant, only result. And it was a cashgrab either way
>>
>>217771259
For your own good. Take the Terminator too. Enjoying childish media is okay, but idolizing it for 20 years straight is almost a cry for help.

No, it was kino. And like >>217769551 said, it was a vision that someone had.

I don't defend bad movies that only liked because at the time was a stupid kid

no because without the prequels we would have never gotten the clone wars and a bunch of cool maps and fun characters in the battlefront games.
>>
>>217773318
> They are all bad movies made for children lol
theyre made for all agaes retard, children cant even grasp basic political concepts which make up a lot of the story and are the reason for the conflicts in the movies, children only watch them to see funny aliens and lightsaber fights
>>
>>217769528
I'm not even a star wars geek but it's kinda obvious that whole thing was just a shameless cash-grab and sucked. Didn't need to exist.
>>
>>217769528

I would not. Flawed as they are the prequels add to the SW universe. They expand on relevant character backgrounds like Vader, Obi Wan, Yoda and the Emperor, expand on known worlds like Corruscant or Tatooine while also growing the universe with worlds like Naboo. Have some of the best musical scores and light saber fights too.

Even if they are weaker than the OT, they are respectful of what came before and attempt to enrich it and that´s worth preserving.

>>
>>217773932
> it made the entire galaxy about one shitty family and reduce everything to predeestination
what family? sounds like you slept through most of the movies and only caught the anakin padme romance drama parts.

it added a lot, like the conflict between the trade federation and the republic over the taxation of trade routes which eventually lead to the clone wars with the separatists, the jango and boba fett story arc, the darth maul character, the introduction of podracing and jar jar binks, darth vaders backstory, all in all youre retarded
>>
>>217769528
>If you could erase the prequels from ever existing, would you?
Yes. Why wouldn't I?
It probably was a main actor in the dogshit trend of resurrecting dead IPs, and making movies that are basically cgi cartoons filmed in green rooms
Also they fucking sucked as movies

Just AotC, that shit genuinely sucks the big one
>>
>>217773932

I meant the narrative universe. It expands on the elements of the story that we were being told, and make no mistake SW is THAT story. That´s the whole point. That´s why it starts with once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away, that´s why it uses wedding tier transitions, that´s why it uses a cinematographic style that highlights and prioritize emotion, that´s why everyone is a hero´s journey archetype.
>>
>>217774100
>just because I liked bad movies at 6 you, they should acknowledged
wow talk about entitlement

you have made these threads 100000000000 times at this point and you haven't changed the consensus one bit
autism and entitlement are awful beasts
>>
>>217769528
I unironically think the prequels should be completely remade, but Shitsney could not pull it off.
>>
>>217774131
It detracted from the narrative universe, just by making everything about predestination and making vader lame
>>
While I don’t hate the prequels at all, they're sentimental because it's the sw trilogy that came out while I was alive. it would’ve been awful if the Disney trilogy was the only follow-up to the ot
>>
>>217774167
remade in a completely different story, with completely different everything, far more in the past and removed from anything in the OT?
well, I wouldn't oppose that
>>
>>217773347
I wanted this to be good, but what a mess they made. The acting was good the concept was overly ambitious.
>>
>>217769528
Nah.
Also, bear in mind that while there were tons of green screen scenes, the backgrounds used in them had a lot of scale models, live footage, and other practical effects.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sjW0X_ayjM
>>
>>217774087
The podracing scenes were fantastic, but the commentary was lame and forced. Overall it should not have even been in this movie franchise
>>
>>217774173
> and making vader lame
byu that logic any sentiant villain would be considered lame, since theres always some lame selfish reason that someone becomes the villain, either drama over some girl in Anakins case, or its over some religious or idealocial fanaticism, look at all the dictators, theyre always selfish and entitledpeople who believe theyre right and everyoneelseis wrong and they believe theyre allowedto force their will on others.

No, the prequels are kino and I always love the prequels no matter what. In my opinion, only the original trilogy films and the prequel trilogy films are canon. The Skywalker Saga is about the rise, fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker and the Disney sequel trilogy undermines that. As far as I'm concerned, Return Of The Jedi is the final film of the Skywalker Saga and, after Return Of The Jedi, the galaxy enjoys a golden age of a thousand years of relative peace and prosperity. George's complete vision for the sequel trilogy involved an enemy that was now less imposing and using subterfuge, a story that explored more ancient mysteries and old Jedi lore rather than another Empire versus Rebels story. Disney just copied the original trilogy but with worse writing and worse acting. It's kinda crazy how much more soul Lucas's version of the sequel trilogy has. It genuinely saddens me that we'll never see George's kino original vision for the sequel trilogy. The Star Wars galaxy is vast, containing countless worlds and countless beings. Even so, Star Wars in my eyes is ultimately the story of one man, one human, from that vast galaxy - Anakin Skywalker. Star Wars is the story of the life of Anakin Skywalker - his rise, his fall and his redemption. Star Wars is one film divided into six parts and, in my opinion, it is the greatest film of all time. Star Wars is one story divided into six episodes and, in my opinion, it is the most ambitious story ever put to film. Love doomed Anakin in the prequel trilogy and love saved Anakin in the original trilogy. The central message of Star Wars (if there is indeed any message) is that love conquers all - even the stars themselves. Star Wars teaches us that nobody is beyond redemption, not even Anakin Skywalker. We're all gonna make it, bro. And that's pure kino.
