But TFA already blew its load.

MA, what's wrong with special effects, if all else is good?

All over what could have been a good trilogy.

not to mention the inconsistencies and character assasinations

The original was based on the Hero's Tale

crossed with WWII themes

and this is relevant, why?

Mmmmhmmm.

The pre-quels tried something else. Would have been good if Mr Lucas had any opposition that could actually gainsay his cockamamie ideas.

yip

At best they are mediocre, the prequels.

At worst they are... boring.

prequels were thrown together in a hap-hazard, ad-hoc way and it shows

it was more about effects than plot

But the prequels beat the nuquels.

they just made it up as they went instead of trying to bridge the story arc

Because the nuquels aren't trying to tell a story, but to destroy and subvert what came before.

a hammer to the fucking balls beats the nuquels

well, we are at least going into overtime and getting a point one way or another

this is true; that is all millenial assholes know how to do

Nah, manimal. The prequels had an idea. The Grand Fall of the Republic as orchestrated by a master politician from both sides of a conflict.

@ManAnimal Don't you put this all on millenials, boomer.

that was implied though

everything that was within that 'idea' was implied by the film

mmm the hbo series is pretty low budget

reduced cast

instead of focusing on the plot and the core of the three movies and having everything feed into that arc, they did stupid shit

simplified scriopt

yknow?

the books are rather better

Well, we'll see if 9 can tie stuff together. I doubt it will, but I remember being really upset that 7 ended without Luke even so much saying anything to Rey, but then the reveal at the start of 8 explained why and I was more forgiving of that. Point is, we don't know yet.

pod races are retarded

This whole millenials this and millenials that misses that boomers did a load of bullhockey, had the gen X'ers who perpetuated it and then both of your gens made the millenials what they are... but you really just put it on them.

i dont know why you think a sequel can salvage ep 8 tbh

was kinda a shit show

incorrect; there is a SIGNIFICANT difference between those that produced Enterprise and those that produced ANY of the JJ-ASSclown shit

@Marushia Dark Star Wars is pretty much dead at this point. They killed it with their massive incompetence and will sit on it for a while until they either try again or bury it forever, so nobody can compete with Star Wars.

one respected the orignal story arc
