@ArdainianRight@detroitriotcity.com >The worst dialogue I’ve ever heard in a mainstream Hollywood film. It's not even the worst dialogue in Star Wars movie, nothing in Episode III is remotely as bad as "somehow, Palpatine returned". >Abysmal action choreography Dafuq? Apart from a few weird edits and cutaways, the action scenes are hype af! >Not one good acting performance in the film Ian McDiarmid as Palpatine is objectively awesome, even if you don't appreciate him hamming it up after coming out of the closet as Darth Sideous his performance as Chancellor Palpatine is beyond reproach. Walsh doesn't even hone in on any of the legitimate problems, like Anakin so quickly going from being horrified at cutting off Windu's hand to massacring children - but I guess an IDF apologist doesn't find the last part all that shocking?

We're talking about the guy who thinks hatred of video games is based and trad. His opinions on entertainment just suck generally.

>The action Choreo is bad They literally trained how to use swords for months. Compare the Choreography to anything that comes after it and it's not even close how much work they put in.

When Hayden Christianson came back in... I think it was the Ahsoka show he had an action scene and he had to go half speed to not absolutely destroy Rosario Dawson, it was a damn clown show. Timestamped https://youtu.be/GwKcz06ej-0?t=152

"They fly now? They fly now." is a close second IMO, but I never saw fit to subject myself to that cinematic abortion. All my knowledge of that film is through cultural osmosis. The prequels are not "great" films, and they try to be too ambitious for their runtime, leading to some unfortunate truncation of character beats. They are, however, fun films; and produced in their intended audience precisely the merchandising fervor that they were intended to. (I cannot tell you how much Prequel-era and EU Star Wars toys, books, LEGO, and video games I consumed as a child, loving every second) The prequels and pre-Disney Star Wars had a cultural impact less than the original trilogy, but magnitudes greater than anything Disney has slopped out (the Mandalorian perhaps excluded, but I believe that was a lucky break. They learned nothing of why people loved it, other than to milk it and then make it more like the slop that wasn't doing well.) I'll complain about it for fun, but like many other former fans, I just don't care anymore. It's a dead brand to me, and the entire legacy is tainted.

@ChristiJunior@detroitriotcity.com @ArdainianRight@detroitriotcity.com >Dafuq? Apart from a few weird edits and cutaways, the action scenes are hype af! Reminder that Lucas let Ewen McGregor and Hayden Christensen do the Mustafar fight themselves and not with doubles.

fine, but Yoda using a lightsaber is ridiculous af

@ArdainianRight@detroitriotcity.com to be fair, the only thing worse than the prequels are the post sequels in the 'new star wars'
