The first movie was coherent: make a fun space epic.
After that, decay set in... people drifted farther away from anything like a goal.
It felt like an episode of Stargate by the time they hit the Phantom Menace.
But it's true that some quality filmmaking went into the 1970s-1980s movies.
I cannot forgive an Ewok however...

@amerika @RedTechEngineer @kura @lain @freepatriot @cell there are a lot of directors that do great work when constrained creatively by a studio to make something that's not a plodding mess, but when they are free to do what they want they make a plodding mess.

Sort of like the role of editors generally...
Stephen King comes to mind. He did better when his editors clipped out the sprawl and fifth-grader sex scenes.

@amerika @RedTechEngineer @kura @lain @freepatriot @cell the old movies are not smart they are just well made and fun, phantom menace is plodding and stupid and the dialog is shit, the CGI looks worse than jurassic park six years earlier. jarjar binks sucks as bad as everyone says, the movie has fart and stepping in poop jokes.

I went back and rewatched the original trilogy sometime in the 1990s, realized I thought they were all cheesy but the 1976 movie got a pass for being fun, while everything afterwards was comical.
The 2000s movies, first one I saw at the end of it the audience was stunned into silence by how bad it was, then some dude stood up and said "THAT MOVIE SUCKED!" and everyone clapped.
They're just more postmodern recombinant bloat now, but let's face it... this series should have been one movie and quit.

@freepatriot Wait a second... I read him often being called a "right-wing socialist" . NO. He is a fascist. He doesn't nationalize companies in the interest of workers, he does so to get better deals on their weapons and stuff. To then wage WAR and commit GENOCIDE in the Middle East.
Americans might say foreign aid money should be spent on US infrastructure, but Americans never say foreign aid money should be used to pay down the US debt.

Oh no the left and the right are fighting about who are the best Jew cucks again.
You’ll find "The Spanish Inquisition: A Time of Fear" by Andy Reven impossible to put down. This nonfiction book is a quick read that delivers surprising insights into a dark era, making you feel smart and informed.

It was not called the Korean war but the Korean conflict in some descriptions because they did not want to admit they were going to war

Americans say Catholics want to kill off the 99%, but do Catholics support homosexuality, abortion, suicides, birth control, and divorce? Does the Vatican have gulags and nuclear bombs?
Are Americans really this retarded?
