Hamill comes to defense of the prequels

There's some great stuff in the prequels!

Meaning the scenes without Anakin or Padme, generally.

i wonder what his comments were back in 99/02/05?

Revenge of the Sith is one of the greatest movies of the 21st century

"They were criticized because they were exposition-heavy and more cerebral and probably, like he said back in 1976, they weren't as commercial,' he said as reported by IndieWire."

They were criticized because there was some really bad acting, effects, and action Mark.

That being said, The Phantom Menace is the best in all 3 departments. Lucas just went nuts with the green and blue screens and it looked soooo bad. The lightsaber fights just got so rehearshed looking too. The Phantom Menace has a nice mix of real practical effects and digital. The fights are EASILY the best of that trilogy too. II and III are just awful.

Also quoted in the article is Lucas' ex-wife (who apparently edited the OT) and she crushes the issues with the prequels. I do agree with Hamill that the prequels were much different films than the OT which is perhaps the best thing about them, but way too much green screen, awful direction, and they should have burned the script.

The Mother of Star Wars has spoken, anyone who disagrees with her is a toxic incel, white supremacist, bigot and worse than Hitler.
