SPECULATION Do you think Disney should re-make the Prequels?

You mean 12 year olds.

 

Twelve year-olds, eight year-olds . . . whatever.

No it doesn't. The Rotten Tomato site isn't a verification that the OT is superior to the PT. The site is simply a colleciton of opinions by film critics and moviegoers on different films. They're all OPINIONS . . . not facts.

The theory on whether which trilogy or movie is the most superior is based upon preference, not fact. When will people realize this?

 

You've been on this site a while now, it's time to start correctly quoting people's posts so that we know when we are being quoted.

Also, please stop strawmanning. I never said they were facts and it is obvious that they are opinions. Everyone already knows people's views on movies are based on preferences. When will you realize this and stop bringing it up like it's some kind of argument?

The point I brought up was perfectly valid, that in the views/perspectives/opinions/preferences of the general fan base and movie going public, the OT is seen as superior to the PT. Nowhere did I say that it is a fact that the OT is better than the PT because of that. You are way too thin skinned about your PT love if a post like that, which was actually much more positive towards the PT than negative triggers you.

I agree that people often use sites like Rotten Tomatoes in the wrong way. They are only good for a general consensus on movies, however a consensus isn't what we should base our personal opinions on. Sadly though, several recent movies have been either artificially boosted because of political reasons(Ghostbusters) or fanboyism(fanboys flocking to give movies good scores in numbers greater than could have possibly seen the movie at that point).

Still, in cases where there isn't a controversy swirling around a film, sites like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic are good for getting a general consensus on movies. Only shallow people base their actual opinions on a consensus though.

Agreed on the logistics of remaking the PT. People that put forth that argument have no real concept of how Canon works in modern Star Wars. If Disney was gonna do that, they would have done it right out of the gate before forging ahead with their new stories, which happen to be full of links and references to the PT.

 

Steve Saunders interviewed KK at SWCO and asked her if the prequels (special editions) could be changed or altered. Kennedy didn't understand the question at first. When she finally got it. KK laughed it off, and stated those are George's i wouldn't touch them. So remaking the prequels let alone retouching them is blasphemy according to the President of Lucas film. Its a prequel haters dream. It won't happen in KK or GL's lifetime.

 

no

 

This is stupid. Of course not. These films weren't that great but they are still part of the Saga. Additionally, most of the people working at Lucasfilm, particularly at the Story Group, are fans of Episodes I-III. There's no way they're going to greenlight a remake of these movies. Besides, they gave us The Clone Wars and that's always nice.

 

As far as I'm concerned, the Prequels are just as great as the Original movies.

 

After Rogue One that would be a rather foolish assumption.

Besides, the prequels were crowd pleasing films with a morality tale for eight year olds as well. Just because you still munch on this "Anakin was morally ambiguous and thus a genius character" bs and there was a minimal political and social aspect, dosen't mean that the movies were some kind of subtle experimental arthouse films. I'm starting to think that some of you PT fans are getting more and more delusional about the trilogy.

Go and grab a classic book if you're looking for real morality tales. Pretty much any Dostoyevsky for instance. Or maybe watch a real movie about the subject matter. Like We Need to Talk About Kevin, The Gift, Prisoners, Nightcrawler, The Secret in Their Eyes etc.

 

This what I am worried about as well. Now, if they updated the films to Blue-Ray or improve on film quality, that is what I would not mind. They already tried to under mind this franchise with the 'Force Awakens' in some aspects of that film while presenting a new idea. The Prequel Trilogy may be flawed but at least they tell it like it is rather sugar coat it, even if I have a hard time accept certain aspects of the franchise. It is different from Rebels and 'Rouge One' since they were able to be more creative outside of Star Wars tradition while adding lore from time to time, and that is what I like believe it or not.

 

I wouldn't really want to see Disney re-do the prequels unless they intended to run with the Darth Plagueis created Anakin Skywalker/Didn't die during the time of TPM. Connecting it back to the ST, would be neat, but other than that Hayden did an amazing job to me portraying Anakin Skywalker, Ian was incredible as he was in his little screen time during the OT, Ewan was a brilliant Obi Wan...really reminded me of Alec Guinness, but he was young enough to give Obi Wan that spark of energy that came from his youthful hope and then the sternness of his later wisdom by ROTS, etc. etc. etc...everyone was good in terms of their acting and their portrayal of their characters. I kind of wish Qui-Gon hadn't died as well, but someone had to be the first Force Ghost. I think if they ever did want to do it, they should hurry up while Hayden could still pull off ROTS Ani. He probably could still pull it off in another 5 years, but they better not wait until they'd have to recast Anakin or really any of the characters. At least for Revenge of The Sith.

 

Why is it so important that Darth Plagueis had created Anakin? Is this supposed to be some kind of justification for Anakin embracing evil?

 

The OT is open to remakes without hte PT beign remade.

The PT are full of problems - story wise, production wise, contunitiy wise, acting wise .......... fixing those issues is a valid use of resources. If the PT replaced the ST in the production schedule......nothing bad there. They would also generate enough money to more then off-set the cost.

 

So few realize or acknowledge simple human behavior. Someone who is dissatisfied and/or angry will almost always speak up. On the flip-side, those who are satisfied will speak up rarely. For every complainer, there's probably 2-5(maybe more) people who like it.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but the PT DVDs, BRDs, and now HDDs have and continue to sell well. Do the haters think people are buying them so they can throw them in the trash?

 

absolutely not

 

Everything will be remade eventually. Whether we are alive or not to see it is the question

 

When you look at what LFL is cranking out.. It's pretty clear they are 'remaking' the prequels.. from a certain point of view.

And so far, I'm liking their 'prequel trilogy' a lot better:

And "Episode II" is now filming:

 

Bulls**t. And frankly I find your comment as a sign that a good deal of the STAR WARS fandom is mired in lack of originality, intolerance toward moral ambiguity (REAL moral ambiguity) and clinging to the past. And Disney, being the simple-minded idiots that they are, seemed to be cashing in on the horror fest that is STAR WARS fandom.
