It's odd that they apparently asked themselves if they would fit into the old Star Wars.... And then made things that so often feel out of place, with so many flat faces, and wide eyes.

I wish they could have just had Lucas give art and visual direction. At the very least, have him give a thumbs up or down to the art and lighting or every scene.

Not sure about the feasibility, but I would love to see Disney produce a remastered version of the prequels. I feel like they’ve pretty much nailed down the pipeline to create decent looking Star Wars shots

I think that final battle with a ludicrous number of ships is emblematic of Star Wars after the OT, that includes the very Special Editions. The limitations Lucas had while creating the originals actually worked in his favor. There's only so much you can pull off with models and puppets. With CGI you can basically do whatever you like and make things as large as you like. Lucas had a bunch of shots that he couldn't get with the old technology but with computers he could now do them, and they're universally terrible. The original cantina scene, better than the remake. The original Jabba's palace music scene, way way better than the remake. The models of the starships always look better than the CGI replacements, but Lucas got to "have his scene" with the CGI. More movement! More creatures ! More camera angles! This culminated in the travesty that was the ending of RoS. JJ got to have thousands of ships on screen. Way more than could have been accomplished with models, and it's incredibly stupid. It makes no sense from an in universe perspective. Half of them should have been blown up five seconds after jumping in because they'd be easy targets all bunched up together. But JJ got what he thought was a cool shot. Ever since the OT it's just more, bigger and louder. It's never better. Those constraints forced (yup that's an intentional pun for sure) them to be creative and to make what they could pull off as good as they could make it. They're just throwing as much crap at the audience as they can thinking they'll be as amazed with it as they are in love with their "shots". It's not always the case but sometimes limits can be a good thing.

What a useless video. You're conclusion is "sometimes things just don't work out"????? Seriously? I want to know WHY it was rushed. Why didn't they delay it another year? In fact, why were all these movies rushed? The other trilogies had three years between movies. They were wanting TWO (and originally only one and a half between 8 and 9). That's insane and I cannot figure it out. The only theory I have is that it was Bob Iger's ego. The ONLY time limiting factor I can see is that he was planning to retire in 2020. So my guess is he personally wanted to be responsible for producing the final star wars trilogy. He wanted that to be a part of his legacy before he left. Why else?? It's not like money was an issue.

The Rise of Skywalker was an immense improvement over The Last Jedi. I still can't get the stink off me from that.

Very informative and well presented!

2nd time im watching this. and: first 2 min are 3/10 "i am likely to keep watching" and at 5:30 its a certainty that i will keep watching this. first time i think i just clicked bc of transformer face and facism and didnt want to see 3 minutes of modern MBA about movies. just saying.

25:31 WTF, did anyone even catch this? The guy who made the video thinks the polices purpose is to punish and enslave?

He connected it

Bro just indoctrinated me, I can't look at these movies the same anymore

I saw all 5 in theatres and the last 2 just didn’t tickle my lizard brain quite the same way. I think this is a really intriguing video and Im tempted to give them another shot. Misanthropic is the perfect word to describe Bay.

Phantom menace was definitely a bad movie

Palpatine revealed as Jar-Jar, speaking with The Architect's voice and mannerisms

Can we talk abt how they managed to sneak in a full on decapitation in a pg-13 movie (16:57)

Weird use of “conspiracy theory” phrase these past few years… especially considering how the last time that was pushed was post JFK coup… I wonder what happened a few years ago that they would want people to discredit with “conspiracy theories”

idk seems like good old fashioned incompetence when the director of the movie has had these exact same problems with EVERY movie he's made... JJ Abrams has never made anything THAT good frankly even with all the time in the world... his movies aren't always BAD but they're never good. This is definitely incompetence.

ngl Argo was SUPER over-rated... just because he wrote Argo doesn't mean he can "put a story together" -- and if anything it's loosely based on a true story meaning anything good about it wasn't likely original to him anyway

I don't think there has ever been good evidence that there was a plan for the Trilogy from the beginning. Abrams and Kasden are photographed writing the movie during principal photography, they had an incredibly difficult time writing it, and George Lucas left part of the way through Pre-production. It is unlikely that they also had ideas for the other movies because: a) JJ Abrams wasn't directing those movies and didn't want to interfere creatively. b) Rian Johnson says that Abrams didn't have any guidelines other than Rey's parents would not be revealed. He could do whatever he wanted like: Ruin Luke Skywalker, kill Supreme Leader Snoke and barely move the plot along. c) Colin Trevorrow says that nothing was told to him as far as plot goes. He's ultimately fired for failing to deliver an adequate script. It's quite clear that Rey's parentage is a marketing gimmick to get people to come see all 3 movies for the answer. It's also clear she was meant to be the Daughter of Han Solo and Leia, but Carrie Fisher dying resulted in them having to change. If she was the daughter of 2 random people we have never seen before they could have shown their faces in the first movie. JJ Abrams was under pressure from Disney who needed to make back $4 billion dollars, and he used a cheap television gimmick to get people coming back for answers. The ultimate irony is that even if Rey was Han and Leia's daughter, the reveal in the last movie of the trilogy would also have been criticized for not having been worth the wait.

I loved Transformers Armada. It was... my first venture into Transformers. Highly recommend watching it, its a pretty cool show. Also, bro, you need to look at the Broken Mirror comics, where autobots and cons roles are swapped.

Just saw it again. Wasn't as bad as every one want it to be. Just entertainment. Kept me entertained for two hours.

The bumblebee slander will not stand, I’ll remember this

I was on On Set Dresser for years in Hollywood. On Sets deal with set continuity alongside Script Supervisors. One thing this video forgot to mention (although the excellent distinctions re: light came close) is that sets and locations will always be filmed through air. Air is full of microscopic particles that, themselves, bounce light. Like the “micro-poof” of dust as an actor sits on a sofa or rolls over on bedding. The stage dust that eddies around the grid, 15 feet above the set where the lights hang. All of this combines to the human eye (the ultimate in camera technology) to create a warmth that digital will likely never overcome.

Its not that bad for its time compared to spider man 1 for example

Star wars Died when Harrison Ford (Han Solo ) allowed his own kid to kill him and they knew that had screwed the pooch and attempted a course correct with SOLO which was blah

We know how bad movies are made we saw the prequels and how George Lucas ruined them.

This reminds me of the video:"Were the Empire right?"

I maybe have to rewatch TROS, soo much I forgot. I really, really found it a mess and incredibly stupid.

Imagine the healthcare systems to support this variety..

6:30 One super interesting thing to me is the seeming lack of “humanization” tools that arent just human translation like we musicians got in the digital age. There are various DAW plugins that can take a MIDI instrument and seed randomize things like velocity and frequency of notes and reverberation effects that are programmed to simulate the acoustics of a real room. These are all things you can program easily and it feels like stopping mid transition between key frames a few times at random and then deciding whether or not to twitch followed randomly determining the the degree of said twitch within reason could help add to cgi movement.

You convinced me; that is wild

Jesus the barricade 'to punish and enslave' that's so based like maybe they were trying to make fun of the deceptions but it totally reads as accurate policing

This was not as bad as the last jedi

You talk too much.

Holy fucking shit! This completely changes how I see Transformers films

that intro was so out of nowhere and hilaroius

Attack of the Clones...tamp

The opening scene for Revenge of the Sith, the Battle of Coruscant, is still one of the most incredible VFX scenes ever

That wrinkle "introduced" by Abrams about the apprentice getting overtaken by the master was introduced BY the sith who invented the rule of two. Darth Bane learns it to get into the body of Darth Jannah. It was the one bit that was actually consistent in the film with the old lore!

As strange as it is to say, I kinda down wish they continued they (more than like garbage) 6th movie

This is a great deep dive. Particularly for such a small channel. Is this a second channel?

That intro always catches me off guard and I’m always coming back to watch it, good stuff bro

Decepticon propaganda in cybertron

I think this is a cool way of asking "If soldiers were clothed in rainbow clothing while killing targets, would you take them for the evil guys?"

Froce bonds exist in the expanded universe so i have no idea why they had to call it a force dyad...

colin trevorrow’s version sounded better.

2:02 beast wars is far more superior then transformers will ever be.

as a loyal star wars fan for 30 years, this is the first time i watch the rise of skywalker. when 8 came out im already disapointing, 9 never wanna face it

Thats the difference between a funny bad movie and one of those “purposefully bad meme movies”: a funny bad movie is one that tries in earnest to be good but fails due to incompetence, meanwhile making a movie “bad on purpose” can takes away that fun. Like a movie like cocaine bear tries too hard to be a bad B movie based thats intended to be a meme and people can pick up on that disingenuousness. Also making a movie “bad on purpose” is such a lazy cop out because when the movie fails the creators can just say that was on purpose
