Can I skip the prequels Star Wars?
The short answer is NO, you don’t HAVE to watch Episodes 1-3 in order to enjoy Episode 7 (and presumably Episode 8, but it’s too early to tell). However, by NOT watching the prequel trilogy, you will be missing out on a lot of universe-defining lore.
What is wrong with the Star Wars prequels?
The writing was bad, the character names were laughably on-the-nose, and the movies were too long. They were stuffed with action set-pieces that contributed little to the plot while leaving out critical scenes that provided much-needed depth.
How did the Star Wars prequels ruined?
One of the main things that ruined the prequels and the special editions of the original movies was the fact that there was just way too much CGI spread throughout. While some of the practical effects of the original trilogy may have looked cheesy, they also were way better than the CGI effects added in after.
Why are the Star Wars prequels so good?
The Prequels Helped Expand Into Animation, And It’s Really Good. And lastly, the prequels gave us the excellent Clone Wars cartoons. The prequels also expanded Star Wars animation in general.
Why is Star Wars Episode 1 SO BAD?
But it’s bad because there is no character arc (except jar jar from a certain point of view). The pacing is awful. And the story is always told by the characters (who they are, where they will go etc etc). Nothing is subtle in this movie, and it’s a really long one for some people.
Was CGI used in the original Star Wars?
In these first films, much of the visual effects work involved actual physical creation of models, puppets and sets. Computer generated imagery (CGI) barely existed in 1977, and Lucas and his team went on to transform the visual effects industry and set the new standard for the years to come.
Was Jar Jar Binks a Sith Lord?
Lucas himself said Jar Jar was “the key to all of this,” but the canon has quietly confirmed that he was never a Sith Lord. However, Darth Jar Jar has done more justice to the character and, by extension, the prequel films, than anything in canon.
