Well yes, but the fight between anakin and Obi-Wan in particular is an especially glaring example.

@Mobile: oh my goodness one of you has actually read it

I knooooow

like seriously everything from the writing to the characterisation to the fight scenes are so much better

@Box: basically

I am very much of the opinion that much of the flaws of the prequels could have been amended if someone was willing to just say to George " okay no" as they did with the OT

he needs other people to point out his flaws

but no-one did and the rest is history

@Riv: I am sorry you are experiencing it in a limited way

but yeah yoda is great

well I mean

again the idea behind jar jar is fine

comic relief character for the kiddies

that's fine

it's just that the execution was...

well

and therein lies the problem

@Mobile: personally I was always impressed by the fact that he actually made younglings sound natural

seriously I still get chills reading that opening

There's a fine line between comic relief and idoit who should be dead, or out right malicious.

Jar jar manages to be both bad things for stucking his face in LIGHTINING, and single handedly putting the Emporer in power.

well

I am talking about the very very basics of the idea here

from that point onwards his existence was a mistake yes

but yeah one of the weirdest things about the phantom menace was the sheer number of racial stereotype aliens

you have watto, the trade federation, apparently jar jar

it's just on a sheer pr level it feels like someone would have said something

I get that. I can understand why they thought Jar Jar was a good idea.

Jar Jar kind of ties into a major problem with the prequels in general - they tried to make it more kid friendly in really obtuse ways.

George Lucas didn't think a movie about people who swing around laser swords in outer space was something kids could get into, so he added racial stereotypes and a romance arc.

How do you goof that badly.
