Are the prequels better than the new trilogy?
Both the prequel and sequel trilogies have been remarkably controversial, but for all their flaws the prequels make a better trilogy. This is largely because they at least have a single creative vision behind them, and they do not conduct elaborate and jarring course-corrections.
Why the sequel trilogy is the best?
The Sequel Trilogy’s production design was amazing when it wasn’t outright copying the Original Trilogy, giving fans some great new ship designs and capturing the gritty feel of old-school Star Wars. So many of the movies’ most striking shots were made possible because of Lucasfilm’s amazing production design team.
Is “the New Star Wars” worse than the prequels?
Yesterday it was this article from CNET that made the bold claim that “The New Star Wars trilogy is worse than the prequels.” It’s a clickbait-y headline, yes, but the points the article makes – that JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson have something to learn from George Lucas’s abysmal work behind the camera on the prequel trilogy is just…wrong.
Are the New Star Wars movies better than the original?
The new Stars Wars films – including Rogue One and Solo – get back to the solid, real film making and fun, complex characters that made the first Star Wars trilogy great. And instead of sucking the life out of the myth and majesty of the originals the way the prequels do, they all improve on it.
Do JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson have something to learn from prequels?
It’s a clickbait-y headline, yes, but the points the article makes – that JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson have something to learn from George Lucas’s abysmal work behind the camera on the prequel trilogy is just…wrong. On every meaningful level the new Star Wars films are miles better than the prequel trilogy.
What’s the difference between George Lucas’ Star Wars and Disney’s prequels?
Where Lucas packed his movies, prequels included, with small-yet-boundary-pushing moments, Disney has opted for much more standard, derivative-if-competently-staged action fare. Compare, for instance, the space chase involving Obi-Wan and Jango Fett in The Attack of the Clones with the first flight of the Millennium Falcon in The Force Awakens.
