Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019
Hey, I'll agree with you on the vehicles, trooper designs, etc.. the PT and Clone Wars gave us some very cool stuff! The ST is supposed to be a different era and is much farther in the future, so it makes sense that everything is different (more refined and modernized look). It's like comparing modern military stuff to WWII stuff.
Whichever you prefer is all a matter of opinion and taste. I like the way the troopers and vehicles looked more in the PT myself as well. And I do buy way more OT & PT toys than the ST stuff. I'd rather play with cooler looking toys lol
But cool looking characters and vehicles dont make for a better movie. You need actual direction, scripts and acting for that. To say the PT is superior in that regard is pretty far fetched imo.
And yet, I'm the exact opposite. Myself, my son, my closest friends & people I Know in "real life" all thought it was a steaming pile of crap. Only a couple thought it was just OK.
And in regards to the PT, whether you liked it or not, we got many very memorable characters and vehicles. We got nothing from the ST. Kylo Ren was the closest as he looked cool at 1st, but removing his mask so early was a big mistake. Imagine Vader running around in ESB & ROTJ without a helmet... Just look at toy & collectible sales to prove that. No, or very few, peg warmers are from the OT or even the PT. Even Kylo Ren barely sells.
