George you're very brave for having an opinion on a Star Wars movie
Ong
a wrong opinion at that
@@ozymandias-_ The movie is bad, no other way around it.
@@mustin2481 not true
@@officialmonarchmusic it’s no
Fun fact: in the original script Qui gon wasn’t even going to appear until coruscant and Obi wan was going to take his place for most of the film, having kenobi as Anakins mentor from the start. but when they cast Liam neeson they rewrote the script because of his star power.
I think that was a good decision. The added thing of obi wan not even wanting anakin in the first place adds tension to the relationship later on.
That would have been so much Better.
Man that was a misplay. Obi-wan as he exists in episode 1 basically has no character, and having him be the one to find Ani would have been a good way to immediately build on their bond.
@@night6724 The problem is that the movie ends of focusing heavily on Qui-gon, which in turns hurts everyone's development because he's dead by the end of the movie. You could re-write the movie to give all of Qui-Gon's scenes where he's connecting to Anakin, instead to Obi-wan and it really wouldn't hurt the movie. It would immediately create a strong emotional core between Ani and Obi-wan, a core the trilogy desperately needed to help get audiences invested. This disconnect is highlighted in Episode 2, where the film has to tell us that Ani and Obi are good friends that have gone on all these adventures, but you don't really feel it because their last screen appearance was when they barely knew each other. Qui-Gon's dominance of Episode 1 is just a clunky screen-writing decision.
And frankly, the movie shouldn't have such a heavy focus on Qui-Gon and Obi-wan. Its not very interesting (especially compared to what we see in expanded material) and ultimately doesn't mean much for the rest of the PT. You could cut any mention of Qui-Gon from episode 2 and 3 (and I don't think he comes up in 3 at all) and it seriously would not change the movie in any way.
You also don't need to have Qui-Gon for Obi-wan to be hesitant or reluctant to train Anakin, you can write that in a 100 other ways that are more natural and don't take up so much screen time.
@@night6724 I did watch the first movie, what part of my comment makes you think I didn't?
Yes, in AOTC Anakin and Obi-wan have grown together, but critically that's TOLD to us rather than just being a natural part of the narrative. Unless you read the comics and the books, you're not really seeing the bond they have and that creates a disconnect.
" Plus part of Obi wan’s initial reluctance of taking Anakin into the Jedi order is part of why he fails him." Whilst I agree with you here, I personally don't think you need Qui-Gon's prescence to do that.
George Memeulous, You said you would watch more Ancient Aliens if your video got 80k likes. That day has come and you must fulfill your promiss and give us, the consumers, what we desire!

I have yet to meet anyone who actually hates Phantom Menace. It's popular to hate the animation, one liners, and JarJar but really it paved the way for some of the best material Star Wars has ever seen. Not one person hates Darth Maul. Nobody
Darth maul don’t make the entire thing good
@@yellowunit9872 there's no such thing as something that's entirely good. No matter what exist, someone somewhere will find a problem with it. Phantom Menace just happens to be something that's popular to hate while people ignore the good parts
@@yellowunit9872 Where did he say maul makes it good? He said no one hates maul, not that maul makes the movie good.
And Qui-gon!
Whenever someone argues with someone else about how bad the Phantom Menace is, the negotiations are short.
I actually have a nostalgic soft spot for this film. I used to rent it and Attack of The Clones a lot from my local library when I was 7 (we already owned Episode 3 and the OT on DVD)
Attack of the Clones gives me a nostalgia boner and it's chock full of prequel memes, highly underrated film
Wholesome af
I love these movies, my favorite trilogy.
Same with me, I have a soft spot for this film and attack of the clones
I actually like this movie, It’s definitely flawed but it had its moments.
not many of them, but it does have them
No it doesn't its really bad
I'm a firm believer that Darth Jar Jar was originally meant to be a thing but was abandoned when Jar Jar was hated after the film's release.
I honestly believe that the prequel trilogy wouldn't have been as shaky if they kept with that twist and revealed it over time. It also would've made it possible to do some half-decent sequel trilogy as they wouldn't have had to rely solely on Palpatine or Palpatine-like villains.
It has a moment
@Max The lightsaber duel, podracing scene, and uh, ummm, hmm.
Fun fact: as a kid, The Phantom Menace was my favorite star wars film only because of the pod racing, that's literally it
Same. And the N64 pod racing game was the coolest game ever.
Now this is pod-racing
Same
The darth Maul fight is the best part of the movie
Lol it was my least favorite as a kid but I actually like it more now than before
This is a despicable attack on the Prequels, as time has gone on I’d say there’s not much hate on them at all...
Yeah I thought he would talk about Episode 9
That would be true.
@@rajatava3500
TBH I was hoping for the Holiday Special.
The hate has shifted to the ones deserving of it, the sequels
Edit: I said prequels instead of sequels. The prequels are my nr.1
Dude this movie sucks ass
He shouldve watched the prequels and everytime a meme template comes up he should take a shot
So you’re saying you want people to die?
He'd be dead by around the first movie.
he wouldve died there's too many
That wouldve been incredible
Are you really challenging George to get alcohol poisoning?
When I read the title the first thing that came to my mind was:
*... The Rise of Skywalker?*
Mine was Attack of the Clones
rise of skywalker is by far the worst and it's not close
@@matthewbanton7077 The Last Jedi is on the same level as Rise of Palpatine
@@christopherbeaty3195 nah last jedi is way better than rise but still doesnt hold a candle to the original 6 and the tv shows
@@christopherbeaty3195 last jedi didn't make me physically recoil the way rise of skywalker did. don't get me wrong, I see why people hated it so much, I just didn't care that much about it. rise of skywalker, on the other hand, is one of the worst films I have ever seen
i actually love the political aspect of the prequels.
yea its a bit confusing in the beginning but its actually quite good once u understand it, and the clone wars expands on it greatly as well. i dont think u need to understand the politics either to enjoy the movies as theyre still fun
Underrated
Of course you do

For anyone about to complain about the criticism of TPM, this video is in fact a video proving Darth Jar Jar is real
The recent Tales of the Jedi accidentally might have made it true as well
Watching the prequels really makes me appreciate Clone Wars and how it make the politics interesting and filled in some of the gaps from the movies. Plus it gave us Rex and Asoka
I think you got that backwards
@@TheCrazyfighter19 Right lol, watching the clone wars makes up appreciate the prequels and the stuff in them more
@@TheCrazyfighter19 he was saying it made him appreciate that it led to the clone wars and maybe all the other stuff that managed to partially salvage the actual interesting bits of the era, or at least I think. You could be right lol

@@officialmonarchmusic mate only because of clone wars the trilogy is pish
I feel bad for the actor for kid anakin, if I remember he quit acting after receiving so many death threats from Star Wars fan
Not only that, they made Daisy Ridley
delete her social media, caused Hayden Christensen to quit acting until fairly recently, still go after Kelly Marie Tran to this day, & even harassed the actors who played the storm troopers that punched baby yoda. Star Wars fans are a different breed of terrible.
I heard the kid developed schizophrenia and had to get put in psychiatric hospital.
@@arnahunas4048 Star Wars fans have never learned the definition of insanity
The prequels were banging.
People are melts than think otherwise.
Agreed
They were always garbage. Just because the sequels are worse doesn't make the prequels any better.
This is objectively a bad film. The only prequel that banged was Episode 3
@@ved95 to be honest, the prequels were worse cause the sequels are fun to hate watch over their stupidity. Those, aside from the meme machine of Ep 3, are slogs painful to watch.
@@theminecraft2516 it banged only because the meme material.
Honestly I love the prequels. The world building done in them is top notch and they're just fun.
your not alone
I like The Phantom Menace, but this was a really fun analysis of the film. I would love to see more videos like this.
I’d love to see him talk about the other Star Wars movies tbh
I agree. Even prequel lovers can still appreciate Memeulous's style, and I didn't take the video title seriously because I think we both know he clearly just titled the video that way for click bait, something that most youtubers shamelessly admit to doing but hey, who can blame you if it makes you views am I right? lol
As someone whose never watched any Star Wars media I was surprised how much politics played into it. I just thought it was fights and aliens.
No, the prequels and the Clone Wars tv show have tons of politics in it
I love how everyone went "Dude, you are very wrong." In the comments. Peak stuff here.
love that the prequels are so appreciated today
I’ve never seen Star Wars, and I thought that opening sequence was a joke and a satire of politics or something, didn’t realise it was actually in the movie 💀
How have you never watched a Star Wars film 😑
lol same here, how tf do people enjoy this shit movie series?
@@gingerot8202 Bet there are a lot of classic movies that you haven’t watched yet. They’re just films.
@@gingerot8202 nah butt doesn’t really interest me
Bro then shut up
honestly, i like the prequels, i feel they were really let down by the animation and some of the strange lines (i dont like sand) but overall the characterisation and stories were strong (aside from the whole midiclorians thing that bit was weird)
The "i dont like sand" line has meaning if you deep it but its just funny out of context.
I don't like sand is a strange line of dialouge? Well I mean that can sound strange from anybody if you remove context isn't it. But to clarify, Anakin grew up on a rough desert planet that being tatooine where sand storms would happen as evident in The Phantom Menace so him not liking sand makes sense. and he also said it to padme after she just finished talking about why she likes sand so there you go.
and the Midiclorians arn't really that weird, from what I've been told they are based of mitochondria which do things in the body like heat production, storing calcium etc. And according to the film, Midichlorians are apparently microscopic organisms that have a symbiotic relationship with their host allowing them to tap into the force meaning the force is still an energy field like Obi wan described in a new hope meaning the force is still a mystery.
As for the animation well the animation was really great for the time, heck George Lucas even needed to invent some of the technology in order to even make his vision possible and is now being used by things like the MCU for example so it's definatly come along way. Heck even the practical effects are so good too, the prequels even have more practical effects then the entire OT combined.
Anyways don't take this as me attacking you or anything like that, you can still love the prequels but don't let big youtubers like Cosmonaut, Red letter media, I hate everything and so on convince you that the movies are bad, they are not. I don't really understand why this massive hate band wagon even started or how it got so big but all I can say is that people are starting to open their eyes and it's becoming more and more evident as time goes on. However WITH that being said the prequels have flaws here and there but let's be real what movies don't? Still though the flaws arn't big enough to make the movie bad and I will die on that hill.
Remember when 'the prequels are shit' was a universally agreed fact? What happened? These comments are baffling. I'd watch any of the sequels a million times over that turd of a trilogy.
Disney starwars happened
@@danielstocks9088 which only divided fans. I personally love them.
because now the kids who liked the prequels have grown up and taken over the internet, trust me the same thing will happen with the sequels and whatever the next trilogy will be
@@BenTheGangster I guess
I’ve always seen darth jar jar as a joke, but after this i am fully convinced that he actually is.
well, there can only be 2 sith right? and dooku isnt a sith yet (i think?) so jar jar must be the other one, maul isnt a sith he is a puppet
@@fuzz1185 you're thinking within the star wars story. Think outside of it. Dooku was a replacement because everyone hated jar jar so much he changed the entire script. It would've been sick too.
@@ninjamandalorian maybe
@@fuzz1185 in the clone wars theres maul and savage opress. bc they claimed to be the true sith which made them rivals to sidious and tyranus/dooku. not all the sith respect the rule either its more of something to follow than a law and it can be broken
@@eiden5778 oh yeah I've watched those ones many many times with my brother, I get your point though mister, the inquistors are kind of sith, but more dark side users which are under vader/sidious, but they are allowed to live.
"the star wars movie everyone hates"
me: maybe I am nobody
Jar Jar Binks could have been a character talked about in symmetry with Shakespeare's finest if not for George Lucas stopping that from becoming reality. Realising that the consequences of such a ground breaking character being introduced into a time period such as now would lead to mass revolution across the world resulting in the death of millions, George had to can the character. However, due to film executives realising the potential money in the Gungan savior, they forced George to add him causing George to limit Jar Jars story to a character clouded by mystery and comedic value. The world would not be the same if the story of the prophet Binks, was truly told.
Overhated movie In my opinion, I have as the middle point of star wars movies with Attack of the clones and the disney movies behind it
Which is why I don't blame people who no longer care about theories
I love the phantom menace so much. I dont know why people hate it like yeah it can be slow at times but overall it's a good movie
They were always garbage. Just because the sequels are worse doesn't make the prequels any better.
@The movie kingdom T.L.G I would say that revenge of the with was incredible from the moment darth sidious was revealed
@@ved95 thank you, somebody finally said it
@@ved95 People have loved the Prequels way before the Sequels existed. Present company included.
@The movie kingdom T.L.G I actually enjoyed all three Prequel films. Attack of the Clones is my favorite of the three and Revenge of the Sith is the best, not just of the three, but THE best Star Wars film.
And no, I didn't watch these films when I was a kid. I watched the six films when I was 14. I didn't know what Star Wars was at the time, so I went in blind.
I love both the Original and Prequel Trilogies, but enjoy the Prequels a bit more.
Before I watch it, if the Dual of the Fates gets hate I will flip my lid.
You can mock the politics, you can mock the dialouge but you CAN NEVER MOCK MY JOHN WILLIAM!
I've always been more a fan of the prequels that the og trilogy, the og's just don't do it for me. Objectively I know they're better but the prequels just have that soft spot in me
I agree I love the prequels and the clone wars, there's just something great about them
Bro I thought the prequel trilogy was the best by a long shot. I really enjoyed the original trilogy and I liked the force awakens but nothing was as good as the prequels
Honestly, for me, I love the stories of both trilogies almost equally and they both have their moments, but the prequels are more visually appealing which makes me like them more( that's mainly cause of visual effects and camera quality).
I agree
Blasphemy!
Im afraid to say it but i like the phantom menace and solo. And also I didn't hate the prequels.
I mean I wasn't a fan of Solo but I can respect your opinion of liking it, won't lie I was totally geeking out a bit when I saw Darth Maul at the end of Solo.
Let's be honest here. If you want a good Star Wars Marathon, skip to 2 if you have a lot of time and need that *lore* and skip to 3 if you just want the good stuff.
Looking at todays politics, the prequels were way ahead of their time.
Jar jar
Having every alien speak perfect English is so off putting to me so I genuinely love the ‘racist’ species
They were planning to make Jar Jar a secret Sith but George Lucas cut it because Jar Jar was very goofy ahh
This is a fan theory bro, not a definite fact
Episode 1 is definitely NOT the worst, even if it's pretty popular to hate on it, Episode 8 was the crack for me that made question all of the movies, Episode 8 didn't give a shit about establishment of the universe beforehand and it was BORING, so god dam boring, I almost fell asleep in the theater.
I agree. They could have had so much story with Luke and him building a new republic and a new order. But instead Rian Johnson turned him into a dickhead who doesn’t care about anyone or anything. Luke was never like that. It’s just infuriating. And that’s just one character.
Prequel fans: "So you have chosen...death!"
More like: "It's treason, then"
The Phantom Menace is great. It did a lot for world building and actually told a story.
What’s the story then
@@getfricked6977 read the Wikipedia page.
@@nikoniortnike this guy said it told a story, so I’m asking if he actually knows what the story is
@@getfricked6977 since you have not received a response from him, allow me:
The Trade Federation creates turmoil in the Galactic Republic by blockading the planet Naboo in protest of recent legislation taxing major galactic trade routes. The Republic's leader, Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum, dispatches Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, to negotiate with Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray. Darth Sidious, a Sith Lord and the Trade Federation's secret benefactor, orders the Viceroy to kill the Jedi and begin an invasion with an army of battle droids, but the Jedi escape and flee to Naboo. During the invasion, Qui-Gon rescues a Gungan outcast, Jar Jar Binks. Indebted to Qui-Gon, Jar Jar leads the Jedi to Otoh Gunga, the Gungans' underwater city. The Jedi fail to persuade the Gungan leader, Boss Nass, to help the planet's surface dwellers, but manage to obtain Jar Jar's guidance and underwater transport to Theed, the capital city of Naboo. After rescuing Queen Amidala, the group make their escape from Naboo aboard her Royal Starship, intending to reach the Republic capital planet of Coruscant.
Passing through the Federation blockade, the ship is damaged in the crossfire, and its hyperdrive malfunctions. The ship lands for repairs on the outlying desert planet of Tatooine, situated beyond the Republic's jurisdiction. Qui-Gon, Jar Jar, astromech droid R2-D2, and Queen Padmé Amidala (in disguise as one of her own handmaidens) visit the settlement of Mos Espa to purchase a new part for their hyperdrive. They encounter a junk dealer, Watto, and his nine-year-old slave, Anakin Skywalker, a gifted pilot and engineer who has built a protocol droid, C-3PO.
Qui-Gon senses a strong presence of the Force within Anakin, and is convinced that he is the prophesied "Chosen One," destined to restore balance to the Force. With Watto refusing to accept payment in Republic currency, Qui-Gon wagers both the required hyperdrive part and Anakin's freedom in a podrace. Anakin wins the race and joins the group to be trained as a Jedi, reluctantly leaving behind his mother, Shmi. En route to their starship, Qui-Gon encounters Darth Maul, Sidious' apprentice, who was sent to capture Amidala. After a brief lightsaber duel Qui-Gon escapes aboard the starship with the others.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan escort Amidala to Coruscant so that she can plead her people's case to Chancellor Valorum and the Galactic Senate. Qui-Gon informs the Jedi Council that his attacker was a Sith and subsequently asks for permission to train Anakin as a Jedi, but the Council refuses his request, concerned that Anakin is vulnerable to the dark side of the Force. Undaunted, Qui-Gon vows to take up Anakin as his new apprentice. Meanwhile, Naboo's Senator Palpatine persuades Amidala to call for a vote of no confidence in Valorum to elect a more capable leader and to resolve the crisis. Though she is successful in pushing for the vote, Amidala grows frustrated with the corruption in the Senate, and decides to return to Naboo. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are ordered by the Jedi Council to accompany the queen and investigate the return of the Sith, whom they had thought to be extinct for over a millennium.
On Naboo, Padmé reveals herself as the actual queen before the Gungans to gain their trust, and persuades them to help against the Trade Federation. Jar Jar is promoted to general and joins his tribe in a battle against the droid army, while Padmé leads the search for Gunray in Theed. Qui-Gon tells Anakin to hide inside a starfighter in the palace hangar, but he accidentally triggers its autopilot, and flies into space, joining the Naboo pilots in their battle against the Federation droid control ship. With R2's help, Anakin pilots the fighter into the ship and causes its destruction from within, deactivating the droid army. Meanwhile, Maul, who has been dispatched by Sidious to assist Gunray, engages in a lightsaber duel with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. Maul mortally wounds Qui-Gon, but is then sliced in half by Obi-Wan and falls down a shaft. Qui-Gon asks Obi-Wan to train Anakin before dying in his arms.
Following the battle, Gunray is arrested by the Republic, and Palpatine is elected Chancellor. Master Yoda promotes Obi-Wan to the rank of Jedi Knight, and reluctantly accepts Anakin as Obi-Wan's apprentice. A funeral is held for Qui-Gon, attended by the other Jedi, who contemplate that there is still one Sith remaining since there are always two of them. During a celebratory parade on Naboo, Padmé presents a gift of thanks to the Gungans to establish peace.
@@getfricked6977 The story is about Qui Gon and Obi wan trying to resolve a trade dispute on Naboo, the trade federation are planning on holding the senator of Naboo hostage to make their take over of naboo legal. Qui Gon and Obi Wan are able to escape naboo but suffer damages on the naboo cruiser because of the Trade federation's blockade causing them to have to land on Tatooine. Whilst on tatooine trying to repair the ship they find Anakin Skywalker and Qui Gon senses that Anakin is a highly strong force user and thinks that he is the chosen one who will bring balance to the force and so tries to bring him into the Jedi order.
Whilst on their way back to Coruscant where the Jedi order is they are ambushed by Darth maul and are able to escape from the repaired cruiser where Qui Gon tries to get Anakin into being a Jedi still believing him to be the chosen one but the Council won't let him beliving anakin to be potentially dangerous because he is too old to traditionally be a jedi and has attachments like his mother for example.
Eventually they return to Naboo and attempt to aprehend the Vice roy of the trade federation whilst also getting rid of the blockade but are interupted by darth maul who kills Qui Gon and asks Obi wan on his dying breath to train anakin thus ending the film.
I could go more in depth about the story but that would be an even larger comment then this already is. Anyways I'm pretty sure you would be able to understand it if you watched it, or at least I'm assuming you haven't watched it because you are asking.
Here’s an unpopular opinion: I love….all the Star Wars movies. Yes. The Phantom Menace, Rise of Skywalker, all of them.
i just like the whole brand lol
Thank you so much
Ew
I love the sequels. I see a lot hate online, but when actually talking to people everyone seems to love them. I cannot watch the first two of the prequels. They just feel wrong. I can tolerate Revenge Of The Sith, but I never purposefully watch it.
Impossible, perhaps the archives are incomplete
The prequels are fun movies. Seeing people defend the prequels against the wrath of the mighty george memeulous truly warms the heart.
To me it kinda worry me. People have to take out the nostalgia googles and admit this trilogy is just as bad as the sequel trilogy.

Im born 2005 and I shit you not, every single guy from my age group grew up on the prequels. it would be genuinely hard to find someone who didn't love these films. I guess the little flaws in animation and all that couldn't be noticed by a little kid, but I stand by my opinion that the prequels for me are more entertaining than the OT
The Prequels were never actually universally hated. It was actually a small minority of people that hated them. Just like how the majority of people who love the Original Trilogy grew up with them, the majority of people who love the Prequels grew up with them.
The "sudden" shift of popularity these films got in recent years isn't actually sudden. It's actually the fans who always lived them finally got to voice their opinions.
And there were a lot of people that grew up with the Original Trilogy that enjoyed the Prequels, but not as much as the Originals.
Almost any child could understand The Phantom Menace lmao
Still an awful movie
as somebody who watched the phantom menace as a child, I disagree. I might just be dumb though
Explain the plot then
I was too bored to understand when I was younger. I understood the other prequels when I was a kid cause they weren't boring and annoying.
@@corn7087 No most people when they were a kid found this movie to be boring. I didn't know anyone that liked episode 1. We all mainly liked episode 3 when I was younger.

@Max I disagree but to each their own I guess
This isn’t the rise of Skywalker
Yeah, because it divided fans, not everyone hates it.
the prequel‘s were there to flush out the story They were about Anakin‘s journey and his fall The line that Yoda says to Anakin is literally his growth through the entire prequel and original trilogy episode 1 fear episode 2 anger episode3 hate episode 4,5 & 6 suffering at least the prequels don’t mess up anything in the originals like the garbage sequels
On the topic of Star Wars as something that’s actually good in this galaxy is the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series, it’s fucking unbelievable so if you have Disney+ then you need to watch it you won’t regret it and if you do…….. I’ll give you a tenner or something, idk 🤷♂️
Give me a tenner
I have watched it, but I wasn't a big fan of Reva though, she felt like a knock of, worse version of Trila from Jedi Fallen order. And I was more annoyed that she was given so much more focus then Obi Wan was given (Keep in mind, this is a show that is sold as and promoted to be a show about Obi Wan so of though she may not have been in for THAT long it still doesn't feel great having her for as long as she was in it) whilst being an inconsistantly written character. But I can't say Reva is bad because she's a black woman and saying she is bad on social media means I'm a sexist and Racist apparently.
Even though I've seen people who hate the Duel with obi wan and Darth vader for good reasons, I honestly still loved that Vader vs Obi wan fight in Kenobi. And I'm really happy to see Ewan Mcgreggor back again playing the role of Obi wan. So for me Kenobi is a 5/10. But make no mistake I wouldn't give Disney plus any money what so ever after seeing the Boba Fett series and how they treated him in it, I don't want disney getting the idea that all they need is nostalgia to sell star wars again because that could ultimately do more harm to beloved characters.
This is probably my favorite of the prequels. It's so bad lol
The entire time my friend was going "WHY IS JAR JAR STILL HERE"
None of the characters have any personality, endless politics that make no sense, fart jokes for the babies
Such a good time
Funny video, and I do agree with many points, as The Phantom Menace definitely isn't the highlight of the series, but it's a bit cringe seeing Mr. Memeulous act like one of those "original trilogy perfect, prequel bad" boomers that would always shit on us Gen Z kids for liking the prequels back in the day, when in actuality the original trilogy had many of the same things people often dislike about the prequels, with the cheesy dialogue and bad effects. And even The Empire Strikes Back has an hour or so that is like The Phantom Menace, where pretty much almost jack shit happens.
Ok, phantom menace is a questionable beast. See, it was a great idea, but really didn’t come together well. I remember watching it in 3D at the movie theatre, dear god, and it was pretty entertaining as a little kid.

It is totally for children. Doesnt mean adults cant enjoy it. George lucas says "the movies are for 12 year olds"
0:10 Attack of the Clones? The Last Jedi? Rogue One? Solo? The Rise of Skywalker?
I always loved episode 1 and 2

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was the most disappointing thing since my son
I would have actually loved if Jar Jar was revealed as the real greatest sith lord in the Sequels instead of recycling Palpatine.
the phantom menace is actually quite solid but i can see why some people say it sucks, although lets be honest the worst star wars movie is most definitely the last jedi, also naboo is more like italy mainly because of the look of the marbling of the architecture
The Phantom Menace is a Masterpiece.
Clone Army is way cooler than the empire, the prequels and the originals are my favourites, but at the same time the prequels had way better armies
😎
Unpopular opinion, but I think the opposite since I really enjoy Phantom Of The Menace.
Me too!
@@rajatava3500 I'm happy to see I'm not the only one.
The Phantom Menace always made me fall asleep....
Fell asleep in the theater 😂
Ewan McGregor is a legend to the star wars universe 🤍🏴💙
♥️🇬🇧💙
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate George and his scouse accent ? 💕
I think I'm the only one who actually enjoyed this movie
You’re not alone.
Same
Literally everyone’s saying that
The Prequels are great, my favourite trilogy.
Literally the worst of the 3 trilogies
I disagree, but I don’t kick people to the curb and insult them for it.
Eknenek it’s “THIER” favorite trilogy
1.Return of the Jedi
2.Revenge of the Sith
3.Empire Strikes Back
4.A New Hope
5.Rogue One
6.Phantom Menace
7.Attack of the Clones
8.Rise of Skywalker
9.The Force Awakens
10.Solo
11.The Last Jedi
Fun fact for any weirdo reading comments over a year later:the neimodians have a different accent, (more or less) fitting local stereotypical perception of an ethnicity, for example in German its French and in French its Russian
This entire comment section is just a massive cap by prequel fans.
Foreal though
You can't trust rotten tomatoes. According to it, the last jedi is the best star wars movie.
I mean RT isn't even meant to measure "quality" of a film, its just an aggregate site compiling negative/ positive reviews. You could have 10 people review a movie, all of them ranking it as a 7/10, and on RT that would be 100%
I just love how when someone disagree with you, you go to the extreme and use the last jedi argument.
This is why I hate 7/8 of star wars and its stupid fandom.
@@McRonald2010 7/8? That's a pretty weird statistic
NO, GEORGE, NO, THIS IS HOW IT GOES
EP 1: AMAZING
EP 2: AMAZING
EP 3: AMAZING
EP 4: VERY GOOD
EP 5: VERY GOOD
EP 6: GOOD
EP 7-9: garbage
As someone who hasn’t watched a single starwars movie, it is very important that this one alien in some random galaxy kills another alien who is mean and doesn’t like people
Memeulous when film has backstory 😱
The editing and story you gave to this was hilarious
My ranking episode 8 9 7 2 book of boba fett 1 rogue one rebels 4 6 5 mandolorian 3 clone wars I have not watched solo because it seems boring
Ah George Memeulous, the man who likes Shark Tale and hates the prequels, truly an anomaly
THE STAR WARS SPECIAL IS CANNON?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??
the prequels and the original trilogy feel so different to each other. After growing up with the prequels thats where I actually get my Star Wars vibes. The OGT's are still great though.
The Star Wars Christmas Special is just like Bruno, we don't talk about it. But unlike Bruno, we keep it like that.
all the clips where jarjar's audio is just Not there just shows me ( as someone who has watched a grand total of 3 minutes of star wars) that jarjar is adorable, at least by way of design. his design is kinda cute and clever and its unfortunate that his existance is annoying as fuck
im gonna say it. jar jar isn't that bad
Yeah hes not bad imo. You could say hes annoying, but hes just there as a comic relief for children, and its not like his clumsiness ruins the plot or anything, unlike rose in the TLJ for example.
This comment section is cursed 💀 ppl are blinded by their nostalgia
Facts
And also all the hate is transferred to the sequel
George should watch Padington and every time he says something that an American would never say he takes a drink
The WORST Of All Writing and Directing on Star Wars was in Episode 9: The Imposter Among Skywalker.
I always thought that the Revenge of the Sith was a top 3 Star Wars movie despite it being a prequel
Top 2 for me!
@@eiden5778 It's probably my favourite but the weirdos would probably roast me if I said that
@@conalflood7895 Nah ur good its a popular opinion nowadays actually
Not as bad as the sequels tho let's be real
the phantom menace isnt my worst star wars movie, but its probably the most disappointing. i know a lot of people have nostalgia for it (and i have a bit for it too honestly - not enough to argue its actually GOOD, but enough i can still get some enjoyment out of it) and theres some parts that are pretty great, like the fight with darth maul and arguably the pod race. but like. even as a kid with no taste, i remember thinking "this is kind of a bummer." after all the hype and advertising and sheer momentum building up to this, i was overall very let down.
oh my god that jar jar binks tongue lollypop conjured some deep memories from my childhood
unnecessarily hated if you ask me
Glad to see im not the only one who thinks he missed the mark on this one.
My nan had a stroke while watching the movie in 2014.
Rip Grace
Attack of the Clones is unironically my favorite Star Wars film of all time
Okay, the worst Star Wars films are the Sequels. I don't think I have to explain why but, yeah.
🧢
@Big Star Wars Fan I mean the Force Awakens, Last Jedi and Rise Of Skywalker are really bad, (in my opinion and a lot of others).
I really enjoyed the phantom menace and never seen a problem with it and grew up with the originals also and can't believe you said attack of the clones was rubbish wtf?
It's a bit boring in the middle but the ending bit is awesome
I feel like everyone hates all but 3 of the Star Wars movies. The Star Wars movie that everyone hates doesn’t narrow it down at all.
Make the talking cat canon to the Memeulous Cinematic Universe.
Absolutely loved the phantom menace and the entire prequel trilogy
The prequels are goated. I wont have this slander
explanation! right the 3 movies are about the downfall of the senate and how they try to fix it but sheev gains power while the senate is distracted. sheev destroys the senate and the jedi and sheev tells the trade federation to deploy troops on a curtain planet for the jedi to deal with so they wont get in his way
Even though this film has its flaws. I still love it from growing up watching it. It’s repetitive to save that this film is a lot better then the sequel trilogy but honestly it is. This one sticks out more cause they used practical effects unlike the over prequel films.
This is sort of like a comfort film. Something you put on in the background while doing over stuff. I really cozy film if you ask me.
I mean no offense, but I think George Lucas just believes children are smarter than we give them credit for, and we shouldn’t baby them or talk down to them.
New subscriber by the way. Peace ✌🏻
