Should Disney erase PT from canon?

I don't think Disney should erase it, an edit would be fine

 

No. Or at least not all of it. SW has a rich history of retcons so why not just tweak a few of the smaller things

 

I don't personally think they would ever do this. There are many fans that would not like this at all, and some small things that happen in the prequel may make other media in the canon not work!

 

There is alot of good to the prequels.

My opinion is the prequels received an undeserved backwave of criticism. Much like the Force Awakens is facing right now with over millions of people joining the resistance to fight the tyrannical Disney Empire. George Lucas is currently sitting on his lazy boy with a bag of popcorn watching the fireworks. Also, before anyone contends against any backlash, please not their are critical reviews with countless many others saying the same things: Force Cheapened, Mary Sue, etc etc.

I do not think FA is a bad movie, not great either. However I just wanted to urge anyone not to contend against saying no repercussions exist considering we are getting into the millions of millions of fans saying the same things.

Of course, this is all relative to our point of view. You see, many of the truths we clinge to depend on our point of view.

Regardless, the Prequels are here to stay.

Also I would like to point out your bias in this poll as there exists no option to choose to leave them as they are. For that I rate one star.

 

1. Undeserved? They are by the large bad films. That isn't undeserved. That's just criticism.

2. It's nothing like what is going on with TFA. Not even close.

3. How is Disney a tyrannical empire? You have some weird fetishistic choices going on here.

4. Your user name was a troll job on TFA before you changed it so people would actually interact with you.

 

1. That is your opinion. Many of us think they are good.

2. That is your opinion. Many see it another way.

3. I was speaking in hyperbole to stress that many have indeed risen against Disney. Did I say I agreed with them? I enjoy TFA, wouldn't call it the best or worst, but it has its place in SW lore. Regardless my factual statement stands, many have made it their mission to fight the "powers that be" so to speak.

4. My name was not a "troll job" as you make yet another accusation without proof. I dawned the name as I wanted it to reflect my initial reaction to TFA. You are adept at making accusations, without any solid renunciation based on evidence.

 

1. There's a vast difference between liking something and it being objectively good.
It's okay to like and enjoy bad movies. But being able to recognize they are not good is a big key.

2. No it isn't an opinion. The way the PT is treated by the majority of fans and critics isn't even remotely close. Only someone desperate would suggest this.

3. Again, rise against what? Quality film making? More Star Wars movies? Higher production quality? Increase in Star Wars merch? What exactly are people rising up against here? This seems to just be your own personal villain in the matter.

4. "MeAndOthersDidntLikeTFA" Isn't a straight troll job at trying to instigate? Come on.

Which part of this, where your old name is visible, and you assert your minority opinion as fact, is not trolling? https://thecantina.starwarsnewsnet....ly-my-final-synopsis-is-that-it-was-ok.11045/

 

You just won't give up.

Look, you simply cannot mental joust with me. You erroneously defy logic in your reasoning. I will not reply after this as an example to everyone on how to deal with someone who is so subjectively stubborn.

People like the Prequels, fact. People enjoyed Jar Jar, fact. You cannot conslusively prove Jar Jar was racist, as in a court of law, fact. You cannot admit the statements you make as irrefutable, fact.

Therefor, I will make make factual statements, as I have just did:

1. TFA faces a growing criticism by a large number of fans, fact.

2. Your opinion does not negate that many have liked the Prequels, fact.

3. You cannot conslusively say my name was a troll job, as you are relying on conjecture, also fact.

You see, I deal in facts. You deal in subjective reasoning, which is our difference.

And because you deal in subjective reasoning I terminate this conversation from going further, also fact.

 

Never said people couldn't like any of that. You are resorting back to you spin talking and building strawman argument.s

1. Not growing. Pretty much the same people.

2. Never said they couldn't like it. (Strawman)

3. Then why make your name that if not to illicit a reaction?

You have not dealt in facts at any point.

 

Why is is that the prequel apologists' only defense of that hot garbage-fest is to bash the OT and TFA? They are now making the ludicrous assertion that TFA is not well-liked anymore, after becoming the most widely-seen, positively-reviewed, widely-Oscar nominated Star Wars film since 1977. What a joke. There is no defense of the prequels. They were insultingly bad when released, and they are even more cringe-inducing and awful when revisiting them today after the 2 Disney films have restored the saga to its former glory.

 

I miss the option "No"

 

No. I'm not a PT hater but I don't love them either. There are things I like about them.

 

We all have our different opinions. OT purists dislike the prequels, PT purists dislike the OT, both camps have people that some hate the ST and others love it and now many fans are divided in their love/hate about Rogue One. If every single opinion about people hating a certain movie were taken into consideration, we wouldn't have SW at all so my answer is no. No movie should be erased. TFA is my least liked SW movie and yet even with that I still wouldn't erase it as it still made many other SW fans quite happy.

We are in a totally new ballgame with Disney giving us a new SW movie each and every year and disappointments are bound to happen. One mans garbage is another mans treasure so let's stick with it and try to enjoy the best we can. Many things we will love, many things we will hate but at least by the looks of things we are going to have SW for a long long time and I'm pretty sure many awesome films might get made.

 

Well said.

The same people who say "Prequel are horrible" are the same who berate others like for liking The Prequels. They say "Jar Jar was dumb and for children!" yet hypocritcally like children it is their way or the highway regarding how the Prequels are perceived.

Same with all trilogies, everyone is correct. Heaven forbid a contrary opinion. Outlandish and small minded, unable to make even one step for common ground.

That is why this "poll" doesn't even contain an option for keeping them as they are.

I would also like to point out alot of what the Prequels contained went above their heads. They were so inept at deciphering certain genius plot points they missed it.

Try to tell them Sidious used his own life as bait in Revenge of the Sith for example to draw Anakin to the dark side and they will say:

"Huh. Where? That never happened!"

Yet it is clearly so. "Are you going to kill me?" He TURNED HIS BACK TO ANAKIN wanting him to get angry and have the propensity to attack to draw him closer to the dark side. SIDIOUS and he is indeed..., SIDIOUS.

Thats how inept these people are and close minded. They missed a majority of the Prequels and complain like little children when you disagree.

 

Lets make this easy. They cant.

Lucas made it part of the agreement when he sold the franchise to Disney that they cant tamper with the Prequels, they are canon for life.

 

There are good bits in the prequels... Films are subjective. You can't change someone's mind. You are wasting your good time.

 

i wish i could i go back in time and help george tweak some things in the scripts, but as cringe as they can be at times the prequels are too intertwined in canon to get rid of, even in a hypothetical situation.

 

Would you believe me if I told you that years before the PT was made, many fans said the very same thing about the OT? Maybe you weren't there for the backlash and maybe you were but I remember very well all the hate ROTJ got from bashers. A latex fest, a freak puppet show, stupid Ewoks ruined the movie, Sy Snootles looked so fake, Lucas was a jerk for showing Vader's face, the Speeder Bike scenes sucked ect. Then when TPM came out fans said the movie was garbage because their were hardly any puppets and latex masks, the Gungans sucked more than the Ewoks, Sebulba looked so fake, Lucas was a jerk for making Anakin a kid, the Pod Racers sucked compared to the Speeder Bikes and so on.

Just like you many fans wished they could go back and change many things in the movie.
