Rest of the 3D Prequels Not Being Made

[Fusion]

Due to the underwhelming box office performance of The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith will not be getting the same 3D treatment. They have instead decided to put all of their time, money, and effort into Star Wars 7.


Hope 7, 8, and 9 are good so we can further forget that these movies existed.

I'm not surprised. I saw it in 3D and it was like watching it in 2D.

Off topic:
Why does everyone hate the prequels? I didn't think they were bad. I actually like them much better than the original trilogy.

[Fusion]

There's a lot of reasons why, but I think it can be summed up in one statement: the characters, sets, and dialogue all feel incredibly artificial.

I could sit here for hours going into every little thing, but I think the main thing that shows this is just the difference between the two sagas' love stories:

AotC:

Hidden/Spoiler:

Anakin: "I don't like sand. It's course, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere."

ESB:

Hidden/Spoiler:

Leia: "I love you."
Han: "I know."

So while the prequels might have state-of-the-art special effects and great designs, it means nothing without characters that actually act like humans. They might as well have just released a tech demo.

No more 3D renditions? Good. That was just dumb...

Almost all of the sets were entirely CGI (not a bad thing to me, but it's sorta lazy), The Phantom Menace lacked a plot, a good sum of the acting was terrible - namely Jake Lloyd's, many of the characters lacked an interesting or any background - see Darth Maul, etc. I could go on, but Google would be better at explaining it.

Also Jar Jar. :p

Ok I can agree that the people in the prequels are all artificial One of the reasons I like the prequels so much is because of the special effects And so I don't pay attention to all of the dialogue. I guess I am a very shallow thinker when it comes to movies.

i have to agree with u in the fact that i like episodes 2 and 3 of the prequels and they shouldnt be hated(except for jar jar he is a horrible attempt at a comic relief character). But i dont think they come anywhere close to the original trilogy.

[DylanRocket]

I like the prequels better too.

[Eaol]

Yeah I'd rather just have Adywan's Star Wars: Revisited series (including prequels), and then hopefully enjoy the Sequel Trilogy.

I hope this change of plans helps them to release a nice product.

[DylanRocket]

I hope the new ones are in 3D.But no Buzz Lightyear or else......

So glad they're not wasting time and money on this, why waste time re-making mediocre movies at best when you could focus on making new movies with new characters and a new plot.

As someone who grew up with the prequels I still prefer the original trilogy. Episode 1 has no plot whatsoever and the first hour of Episode II is laughably boring although RotS isn't terrible.

3D conversion is not the same thing as a total remake, but I wouldn't mind if they were to remake the Prequels at all.

[DylanRocket]

For some reason,I don't really like Episode II.I like Episode I and III but not II.

That would actually be excellent. They should just make one really long movie, re-doing it all. Just sit us down right about at the same time as RoTS. From there, Disney would just need to follow all of Red Letter Media's advice.

[Twilight_Warrior]

Source? Not that I don't believe you, just so I can pass it around to non-GTers.

Are they still gonna release them in 2D? I was looking forward to seeing them in theaters again.

I prefer the old ep 4-6 since I've seen them for 30+ years its comfort movie at this point, also in the new movies I feel like the only non action parts are kissing and lame chick stuff. They allowed real downtime in ep 4-6 like Luke just taking in a tatooine sunset, moments like these are lost in newer stuff its all rage rage kiss kiss rage end. No offense to Australians on gt but the actors all of them but the real actors that did movies before these were horrible. The kid the mom the princess that's in 50 other chick flicks, the oriental aliens at the start of whatever episode that is just blows, it's hard to get into caring when the actors are so transparent and shallow, jar jar etc the new movies are a very failed advertising experiment

I entirely agree here, aside from the obvious fact I haven't even existed for 30 years. They could have been a lot better.

Meh, I liked III. I thought the acting and the story were great. Ill defiantly agree that episode one and episode 2 weren't great, at best ok. But Episode III is beast, it was dark and pretty well written. Maybe not OT, but good. If they remake them, I don't think they should touch episode III in the slightest. Its good though that some good decisions are beginning to shine some light, time and money did not need to be spent on making all them 3D.(Though I would have minded seeing Episode 4 in theatres, so I can experience what some of the older fans have).

I would like to see the Original trilogy.

I agree.I hated Episode II but I was okay.But III was epic.

Episode 1: Meh, it was okay. I don't think it was as bad as other people say it was, IMO.
Episode 2: Let us never speak of this horror again. The Blu-Ray changes somehow made it worse.
Episode 3: The strongest out of all them, the main problem was that I was constantly asking "Why?" throughout the entire film.

I always thought Ewan McGregor's acting was the best part of the prequels, though that's just me.

I wouldn't mind the Original Trilogy, but only if they change most of or all of it back to how it originally was. I simply can't watch Episode 6 with a generally positive opinion anymore with all the changes, or with the changes made in Episode 4, albeit to a far lesser extent.

Exactly.
