Anytime I see that actor for jar jar.. my heart goes out to him. Poor guy did the absolute best he could, and was hated on so badly he almost killed himself over it.. And you can see, all he ever wanted to do, was a good job and make fans happy.. plus sith jar jar.. Would have been, amazing.

[adrianblanco]

im not afraid to say that i like episodes I, II and III.

"Jar Jar is the key to all this." And there you have it.

“This is about Darth Vader when he’s a young boy, a good boy. And then what happens to him...? He joins the film business”

There’s a sad truth to that.

I feel terrible for Jake seeing the reactions at his home; this role was supposed to make his career...

Steven: "That's great."
George: "It's gonna be great."
Steven: "That's gonna be great."
George: "It's gonna be great."
Steven: "That's gonna be great."

Love these guys! :D

The shitty thing about Jar Jar is that the actor that's playing him actually seems like a pretty cool, laid back guy.

"It's like a marriage, you have to be in love with it for 4 or 5 years..."

I loved this film so much when I was a kid. And then people told me it was bad. Now I got my own opinion again. I love this movie so much. It speaks to sth in my heart.

[HenrikoMagnifico]

No one my age "hates" or even really dislikes any of the prequel movies. We all watched them as kids and we all like them, even Jar Jar. This must be some kind of generational issue where old fans hate the prequels ans younger generations think they're good.

[marvolomethod]

i absulutely LOVE how the dude playin jar jar loves what he is doin,  

[xosammyb]

This is how real star wars is made. It's all George's vision. George's directing. There for every aspect of the film bringing his vision to life, no matter how silly it is. It just feels genuine. Disney star wars feels like it was made in a factory with the only motivation being to make money.

A kid that age with a team of 5 agents and managers. Mom and Dad rubbing their hands in glee as their little investment - sorry - son signs the big contract.

Funny when I was little and watched the prequels I loved them. I never would have thought they could receive all this hate... I feel so bad for Jake. He quit acting because of this movie and how he was treated. He was a little boy when doing this movie so i have no fucking idea why people expected so much from him. I also never saw anything wrong with Jar Jar, and I still don't. I never found him annoying :/

That's great - that's gonna be great - that's great - that's gonna be great - that's great - that's gonna be great

awesome dialogue

[okitasan]

They talk about how in the pod race you have entirely cg landscape for 10 minutes and how hard it is to do. There days it’s commonplace for movies and even TV shows to have full cg sequences. It’s largely in part thanks to the Star Wars prequels and George lucas/ILM which pushed the bar for CG back then as well as made the decision to shoot digitally. It’s possible that if Lucas had not pushed to transition from film to digital cameras for Ep2 our digital film technology today would not be so advanced.

This is like watching the steel workers build the Titanic.

I watched the prequels a few days ago and I liked it. Whatever the problems were seemed to be a lot more subtle compared to the over-the-top, hyperactive world of today.

[FakeAnarchist]

This is wonderful stuff here, everyone who worked on this film looked they had a lot of fun, and were really passionate about their work, I know episode 1 didn't match a lot of people's expectations, but I enjoyed it a lot as a kid and I'm grateful we even have a prequel trilogy.
