    The Jar Jar movies were actually less shitty than the Force Awakens.https://twitter.com/BoxerlessBossk/status/1038139906076360704 …

        I wouldn't go THAT far, but Jar Jar wasn't as terrible as people made him out to be.

        More importantly the movies as a whole tried to deal with complex issues.

        Yes. They were complex, the worlds were interesting, and the core story of Anikin is the same kind of thing Shakespeare wrote plays about. The story is all there it just didn't get transferred to the screen as well as it could be. But prequels still way better than others.

        Much of it was acting too. Hayden Christiansen was awful.

        There was some bad dialogue too. But I look at Christiansen's acting and I see an arrogant, emotionally damaged teen-aged boy, saying dumb stuff. It's painful to watch, but it seems accurate. I wonder what kind of acting job would have made these characteristics better to watch..

        I love the theory that Jar Jar was the planned secret villain of the prequels, and Lucas chickened out of it after the initial awful reception.

        I'm thinking JJ Abrams initials stand for Jar-Jar.

        I love that u refer to them as the Jar Jar movies. Like it’s the The Jar Jar Chronicles or something.

        Honestly, not that controversial outside of academy/film critic circles. The prequels have definitely been re-examined in light of the latest movies.
