A Masterpiece Called Star Wars Episode 3

何度みてもいいな

I've gained the high ground!

The scene where Darth Vader's theme plays is shocking, right?

I recently watched the Obi-Wan Kenobi spin-off, but it was boring.

>>10
Why did they make Leia an annoying brat...?

>>10
Since Disney took over, their interpretation of the Force has been getting worse and worse. It's like rock magic now.

I kinda like how most of the Jedi get instantly killed by Order 66 and look like fools😭

>>16
In a peaceful world, the Jedi became a weak group. They look lame in the footage.

Seriously, watch the final season of The Clone Wars. Episode 3 becomes really sad.

>>19
I watched it. The Ahsoka vs. Darth Maul fight is great. I love the whole sequence.

Hardcore fans apparently can't forgive the design of Vader's mask in Episode 3.

>>24
Why is that?

>>39
Apparently, it's because the design is symmetrical, unlike the original trilogy. The old one was intentionally asymmetrical to give it more expression.

>>70
Oh, really? That's the first time I've heard that.

>>70
To keep the continuity, Ahsoka breaks half of Vader's mask in Rebels.

>>24
Honestly, the mask in Episode 3 looks like a cheap toy.

Since Disney took over, just watch the stuff by Filoni.

The Clone Wars is seriously a great series. It's the most informative about what happened between Episodes 2 and 3.

>>32
It was refreshing to see the Jedi Masters, who were treated as background characters in the main movies, being portrayed as interesting.

>>48
Like Kit Fisto and Plo Koon. Filoni really loves Plo Koon.

>>32
Sometimes they even team up with Count Dooku. After watching that, my impression of the scene where Anakin decapitates Dooku in Episode 3 changed.

I'm super excited for The Acolyte.

Episode 2 is often criticized for being melodramatic, but the battles are all great.

>>46
It's my favorite. It's the first time we see Yoda and the Jedi Council members, who were just sitting around in Episode 1, actually draw their lightsabers.

>>71
I liked it too, but when I rewatched the whole thing, it did feel a bit overdone.

Top three Clone Wars episodes:
Captured Dooku, Obi-Wan, and Anakin
Palpatine gets abused
Mace and Jar Jar

>>57
What about the Ahsoka trial episode?

>>67
That one's good too. I love how Anakin loses it and attacks the Padawan who was the culprit. The Skywalker family's tradition of losing their temper and slashing is cool.

>>67
Sorry, but everyone except Plo Koon is so useless that it makes me angry, so it's a no-go.

>>57
I vaguely remember, but it's the one where Palpatine gets captured by the Separatists and is treated roughly. In the end, he kills everyone.

>>57
The droid squad episode.
The battle of Mon Cala.
I like those.

>>57
I like the episode where Order 66 almost gets exposed.

>>205
Palpatine is such a hard worker.

The Clone Wars has too many episodes...

I don't get why the prequels were so heavily criticized back in the day.

>>74
Jar Jar was hated to death, and the mech designs and stuff.

>>74
Too much political talk and complicated stuff.
The cheap sci-fi feel was good, but the setting got too grand.
Jar Jar is annoying.
People wanted a story about exploring the galaxy.
Everything except the battles is boring.

These are the main reasons.

I'm really looking forward to the final part of the Jedi series trilogy. Survivor was great both as a game and in terms of story.

>>89
I'm also looking forward to Outlaws. But it's UBI, so who knows what will happen.

The whole point of SW 1-6 was Anakin bringing balance to the Force, but then they suddenly brought Palpatine back in 7 onwards. It's beyond terrible.

The prequels were considered mediocre, so 7, 8, and 9 will probably be appreciated in time.

>>120
There's no way to defend those. I was in despair when Leia did that spacewalk.

>>120
That's absolutely impossible. The prequels had a core, but the sequels don't have anything like that.

>>120
Episode 7 did well.
I don't like Episode 9 because it's too dark overall, but the final space fleet gathering was worth it.
Episode 8 is just impossible. It's not Star Wars.

>>139
The entire sequel trilogy is trash. Episode 7 is extremely under-explained and just a rehash of the old ones.

>>120
Comparing the well-constructed prequel trilogy to the relay novel-like sequels is a no-go.

Watching The Clone Wars, it's funny how the Sith are also pretty sloppy. But the Jedi are even more incompetent.

>>130
The Sith are basically a bunch that always end up wiping each other out.

>>130
Even Yoda ignored the fact that Dooku was involved in the creation of the clones.

I watched Episode 8 on opening day, and the atmosphere in the theater afterward was heavy. It was like, "Wait, was that a bad movie? No way, it's Star Wars, but... was it really bad?" My brain was glitching, and everyone else seemed to feel the same.

>>170
For me, it was a unique experience to watch a historically terrible movie on opening day. I was kind of moved by it in a way.

Except for a few scenes, everything from the acting to the set design and story plot was so bad and contrarian that it was almost impressive.

>>170
Episode 8 was bad, but the "mouth of the dead has opened" in Episode 9 was the worst.

Honestly, this guy has made it hard to say that the drama series are good.

>>182
But Lucas praised Obi-Wan.

There's one incompetent member in the Jedi Council.

>>187
Plo Koon's personal army, as usual.

>>187
Yoda, Ki-Adi-Mundi, and Mace are enough to make up for it.

Honestly, if it weren't for Episode 8, the sequels would just be regarded as failed sequels.

When Rian was asked in an interview about the lack of explanation between Episodes 6 and 7, he said, "Episode 4 didn't explain much about the gap between 3 and 4 either." That's when I gave up on the sequels.

>>195
The fact that the First Order grew to surpass the Empire in strength is just ridiculous.

Obi-Wan was really at his peak during this time.

But everyone was thrilled when Kylo Ren first appeared in Episode 7, right?

>>243
I was thrilled when he stopped the blaster bolt.

>>245
I like that part, and I like Kylo Ren. The problem is there's nothing else to praise about the sequels.

>>253
Adam Driver is a good actor. He was great in BlackKklansman too.

>>259
That was really the only good part. His inner conflict and struggle between the light and dark sides were well done, and even in the terrible fight scene where he kills Snoke, he was the only one moving decently.

People who defend Episode 7 are the reason Episodes 8 and 9 happened.

What happened to the boy at the end of Episode 8?

But isn't Ahsoka supposed to be good? I haven't seen it yet.

>>292
Ahsoka is good if you've watched the CG animated Clone Wars and Rebels. If you haven't, it won't be as impactful.

It always ends up being complaints about Episodes 7, 8, and 9. Lol

>>294
In that sense, they were the ones to bring balance to Star Wars.

Rey must have a special background, right? → Nope, she's just a regular person.
This guy in the white suit must be the hacker, right? → Nope, he doesn't appear again.
This traitor hacker must come back in the sequel, right? → Nope, he's gone.
Phasma must have a grudge against Finn, right? → Nope, she dies easily.
Snoke must be the final boss, right? → Nope, he dies easily.

Doing this kind of contrarian stuff makes it impossible to maintain consistency.

From the ending of Episode 7, they could have made it interesting in so many ways. Episode 8 is the real culprit.

Clearly, Episodes 4, 5, and 6 are masterpieces.

Yoda is really responsible for letting Anakin go after just giving him some vague advice when he came for mental health help.

>>381
After that, Palpatine starts whispering all sorts of things to Anakin, and Obi-Wan and Yoda are sent far away. It's part of the story, but the difference in competence between Palpatine and the others is stark.

>>409
When I rewatched it, I felt like Palpatine was so well-prepared that there was no chance of winning. Everything was in the palm of his hand.

>>421
You wouldn't normally think someone who went through Sith assassination training would become a senator from a peaceful place like Naboo and then even rise to be the Senate's Chancellor.

>>421
Sith aren't usually cut out to be Sith, but Palpatine was so perfectly suited for it. He just loved conspiracies too much.

Palpatine's child being such an important latecomer to the story.

Episodes 1, 2, and 3 are entertaining enough with just the battles, but 7, 8, and 9 don't even have that going for them.

7 was super fun, but 8 is crap? Should I not watch it?

>>507
You can skip 8 and still watch 9 without any problem (not saying 9 is good though).

>>507
You'd be better off staring at a wall and meditating.

>>507
It's so legendarily bad that even though it might make you angry, you can spend as much time talking with fans about how bad it is as you would watching the other eight movies. Definitely watch it.

>>507
Disney basically established the trend of making crappy fan fiction after snatching the rights. In that sense, it's a landmark.

The next one is supposed to have Rey as the protagonist again, right? The fact that she’s rebuilding the Jedi Order after Luke’s was destroyed just kills my enthusiasm.

>>539
I think they’re making other movies set in different eras too.

They're supposed to be making a movie set way before Yoda was born.
