I found these tonight too, on /tv/ I think I'll watch them again now.
I honestly don't really mind episode one at all. lot of peeps be tellin' me that shit's gay-cus of that midochlorian shit or somethin.
id fucking pay for these films why arent they real
isn't there some edit someone did that removed all the shit with jar jar and other stupid crap? I'd like to watch that sometime if it is actually good
[QUOTE=Laferio;41844898]I honestly don't really mind episode one at all. lot of peeps be tellin' me that shit's gay-cus of that midochlorian shit or somethin.[/QUOTE] People hate Episode one for more than just the midochlorian business. It's a fucking jumble of bad storytelling and poorly focused plot. The dialogue is trite, the plot is convoluted, and it shits ALL over everything that fans held dear.
While RedLetterMedia's reviews of the prequels have an incredibly demented sense of humor about them, the reviews are solid and really do show the shortcomings of all three. Some things mentioned seemed incredibly nitpicky, however. I would [I]pay[/I] for these films.
Watching this was a bad idea. Now I am just imagining how awesome this hindsight Star Wars would be.
This guy is awesome, I've seen the Episode 1 video already, but haven't seen the Episode 2 video yet. Also, for those who aren't aware, this guy is the "the game's playing itself, Jon" guy from JonTron's Final Hallway XIII video.
[QUOTE=Laferio;41844898]I honestly don't really mind episode one at all. lot of peeps be tellin' me that shit's gay-cus of that midochlorian shit or somethin.[/QUOTE] Watch Plinketts review of it and you'll realise why
My god, these movies would be a dream come through. Maybe I'm giving them too much credit but they definitely sound more interesting and along the lines of the original trilogy. But I gotta say his Episode 2 sounds like 4 hours movie.
I'm not really sure why he's putting the focus on Obi Wan when Lucas pretty obviously wanted to turn Vader into Space Jesus and the key to everything and make Star Wars in general and the prequels especially all about him. I mean at least with that goal in mind you can shed some light on a mysterious figure that became a pop culture icon, but why the heck does ObiWan need three films? I presume with this version his arc isn't "completely pointless" and would still lead up to Anakin's fall, but it just seems like way too much buildup that takes away from what Lucas wanted the films to be about. Of course if you cut Lucas' base material completely out of the picture you could go more creative - but in that case why not go the full way and make all original trilogy chars background fanservice at best and promote the prequels to a fresh take on roughly the same conflict in the same universe, but with a bigger budget and some modernization. Heck if you gotta bridge to the Star Wars trilogy, set up the Emperor, 'cause he was really poorly fleshed out there for how important we were supposed to take him.
Those were some aweome sketches in his Episode II, I would love to see an Episode III continuation of his with the same kindof sketches. I would pay the living fuck out of these movies if they were to happen
These are awesome and would make so much better movies. All I can really name that I enjoyed from the prequels was the armies. The Clones and Droids always felt amazing to me. But they got covered mostly by all the crap this guy mentions actually showed up and never really got to reach the level of 'likable' that the Rebels and Stormtroopers had.
I still think Episode II was the worst.
[QUOTE=Kljunas;41845735]I still think Episode II was the worst.[/QUOTE] Not only because I literally fell asleep during it, but the Clone Wars has some of the most interesting stories and lore of all Star Wars and they really didn't deliver on that at all.
I see the Prologue movies as Anakin's Start Of Darkness story personally. Star Wars needed flashier action than miniature demolishing and ancient CGI of the original movies so in that regard, if not anything else, the prologue movies delivered.

So the whole thing about Darth Maul's robot legs: [IMG]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120317060613/starwars/images/c/c8/DarthMaulTCW-RevengeTrivia.jpg[/IMG] It already happened in the extended universe.

[QUOTE=Laferio;41844898]I honestly don't really mind episode one at all. lot of peeps be tellin' me that shit's gay-cus of that midochlorian shit or somethin.[/QUOTE] No, it's because if you stop to think about [I]anything[/I] for more than a second, it makes [I]absolutely no sense[/I].
His version of Episode 2 is so great, he made it into the Empire of the prequel trilogy, dark character development, and all hope is lost. You know, like the [I]second act is supposed to be in a fucking story.[/I]
I really want a game to be made on Star Wars that takes his version of Star Wars 1 and 2 as a script. It would make such a good game. [editline]15th August 2013[/editline] This being said the one reason Darth Maul didn't actually get robot legs is that he wouldn't have had a dick then and he couldn't live with it.
dude this would be a dream come true holy shit
Always wanted Episode 2 to focus more on the battle between Droids and Clones on Geonosis, it kind of did in II but not as much as I would have liked. Then again I'm one of those people who would want to see a whole movie based on the clone troopers so I'm a bit biased :v:
I would've had Obi-Wan immediately attacking Dooku upon confronting him in Geonosis, resisting his explanations, for a lightsaber battle. Just because there aren't enough in his version of Episode II :v:.
If nothing else the prequels made lightsaber fights wayyy cooler Of course they were also drawn out and completely ridiculous at parts also I've now seen him and Plinkett claim Yoda with a lightsaber completely goes against his character but I really don't get that? Even in Yoda and Dooku's fight, using the force was way more important than the lightsaber. That was probably the most memorable scene in the whole trilogy. I remember the theater freaking the fuck out when Yoda pulled out a lightsaber. I think the dude can have one fight if it's framed right.
