Based on artistic merit, dreddio. Love them or hate them, these films stand for imagination and originality. They tell an original story about a democracy falling over itself into totalitarism, and the corruption and rise of demagogues. The Disney films are commercial rehashes without imagination or artistic value of their own.
I would not expect a Disney shill like you to have the brains to realize that.
I agree with the fact that the prequels have a lot of imagination and originality. The world building is so extremely good and the basic premise and expansion of the Star Wars world is fantastic. It makes the fact that I'm disappointed with the end result even more painful. For all of its creativity, the execution (especially in episode 1 & 2) is just bad imo, especially in the dialogue department. I still consider the prequels the prime example of 'could've been masterpieces'. I'm convinced the ideas Lucas has, the overall arcs, plot lines, themes and parallels could, with the right direction, even rival the OT. I just wish he would've been a creative director, the one who comes up with the basic story and the worldbuilding. A prequel trilogy envisioned by Lucas, not written by Lucas and directed by someone like Spielberg would've been a masterpiece. I 100% agree with this. In fact, I could write this same thing. The prequels are actually the best written of all the Star Wars films. The reason they are considered so bad, and rightfully so, is that the acting and dialogue is TERRIBLE. I still say Attack of the Clones is the worst one easily. Lucas seemed like he couldn't write natural conversations, but he sure could build a world and write a good story. |
