No offense to anyone, but I've sometimes wondered that myself... I don't see it as a complete six passage score. The scores are too dissimilar and too inconsistant to be one big piece. And it is arguable whether this is the biggest feather in his cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chen G. 3,950 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I wouldn't know how to do a rigorous list. I do think Empire Strikes Back is superior in every single metric to the original Star Wars, especially as far as the director's work is involved: its way better shot and way, way better acted. I watched the sextet for the first time just a couple of years ago, and I wasn't really getting "into it" until I watched Empire Strikes Back. It was great! It juggles two subplots: one, a fast-paced chase; the other - a slow, pensive training montage. And it interweaves them so masterfully that the former doesn't become breathless and overwhelming, and the latter doesn't become boring. I dislike Attack of the Clones the most. I really don't think anything in that film works. I hear a lot of people really like Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan in it: I don't see it. Because of how Anakin is behaving throughout the film, it brings Obi Wan down, too: the way he chastizes Anakin in public is so awkward, and its soon followed by Obi Wan doing the same thing he was telling Aankin not to do. Also, his investigation subplot leaves all sorts of threads unresolved, only for him to end up reaching the same conclusion that Padme reached in the very beginning of the film, only to be told off by Windu.

I dislike the terminology "the prequels". I think it was only coined to contrast it with the so-called "original" trilogy. In actuality, neither of these trilogies is a homogenous creation: they couldn't be, given how far apart each installment was, and due to changing directors and writers. For instance, while Return of the Jedi is part of the "original" trilogy, it is in many ways closer to The Phantom Menace than it is to Empire Strikes Back. Its the instigator of a lot of the characteristics of The Phantom Menace: Ostentatious, "weightless" fight choreography, overwrought third acts with multiple subplots piled over each other, overreliance on special effects, out-of-place comic relief, longer running times, etc...

John 2,032 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 When it comes to these people who prefer the prequels over the new films, what I find odd is that, by any metric, The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones were/are viewed by the consensus as much worse films and way worse for the legacy of Star Wars by a large margin than anything these new Disney films have done. So I find it odd people will act like Star Wars had a pristine reputation that a few of these new films having mixed (at worse) reception somehow tarnishes. I guess a lot of the people who hate these new movies were kids when the prequel trilogy came out, so they have some serious rose-colored glasses for it and expect a completely different sort of Star Wars than what they got from Kennedy and co.

I think the other thing about TFA and TLJ, especially, is they are directly messing with Luke, Han, and Leia. The prequels may have spoiled Darth Vader for some but Anakin was really a different character and also visually the whole style was completely different that it was easier to separate the two for people who didn't like the prequels. Whereas the sequels are tying themselves much closer to the OT in every way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this is probably why I also placed it above Solo (not to mention that it gave JW the occasion to write one of the saga's best cues). Also, the general atmosphere on Geonosis is not bad, as well as some scenes here and there. However, the whole battle in the Arena (with 3PO) is something I cannot forgive.
