I love the part where he talks about the connection between the prequels and the original trilogy as it give you an insight that the prequels COULD have worked as proper Star Wars films, but it was the sloppy writing that did the most damage. The review is giving me an urge to rewatch the prequels.......Excuse me I need to take a shower in hot water and cry uncontrollably.
We do actually have a Star Wars thread "The Nerf-Herder's Rest", but it's been dead for a while, so why not.
Wow, those videos go on a bit. I think I'll have to pass for the sake of my datacap.
I don't know that it was sloppy writing that let the prequels down. They always struck me as pretty much unnecessary, since we knew what was going to happen the moment we saw Anakin Skywalker and Senator Palpatine pop up. No matter how they could have written it, we were still being told a story we already knew the ending to. Though the fact that Lucas couldn't even keep continuity with his own films is hilarious.
And I agree with DE that Darth Maul was the only good thing about Episode 1.
