They weren't good, but VHS is way cooler than DVD or streaming. I saw the prequels at a thrift shop on VHS, and I want to kick myself for not grabbing them. Still, it's super cool that he has them on VHS. The changes to A New Hope was probably the most dramatic and noticeable by those of us that grew up seeing their original releases in theaters as they came out.
#TOO MUCH CGI IN STAR WARS EPISODE 9 SERIES#
JoWilli is a defender of them, and that's his right, but he seems to be in the minority here. The CGI backlash in Star Wars began before the prequel series with the theatre re-release of the new and improved original trilogy in the mid 90s. The prequels while enjoyed by some, are (these days) lamented by more as a missed opportunity by most. The CGI should have been used to better perfect the practical effects. The CGI in these films (as in many of the late 1990s and early 2000s) films is just downright ugly and fake looking, and it didn't have to be. It seems to me that George simply had too many yes men working with him that wouldn't speak up. All of the actors who starred in the prequel films were good to great actors in their previous films, but here they are hollow, wooden, and are saddled with (more often than not) bad dialog.
Also, a good director could have been more aware of the woodenness of much of the acting. A good editor and a good writer could have easily prevented those errors from making it into the final scripts. There were a lot of discrepancies between the Jedi lore that was in the original trilogy, and what wound up in the prequels. Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker is 'breathtaking,' promises one of the filmmakers currently putting the finishing touches to the climactic space adventure. In Empire, we learned (spoiler) that Luke's father was not in fact murdered. He was betrayed and murdered.a tragic end. Also, George needed to hire a proper director, a good writer and a good editor to better flesh out the scripts. In Star Wars (what is now known as Episode IV, A New Hope), we're led to believe that Luke's father was 'the best star-pilot in the galaxy,' and a 'good friend' to Obi Wan. As a result, these days, the films look more like video games than actual movies. It's a real shame that George went overboard with the new technology.
There were some great ideas in the prequels.
