Nature Vs Nurture

May 18, 2020 by Tim

My kids have gotten into Star Wars in a BIG way over the last couple of months. We watched the original trilogy together, then episides I and II, and we’re now working our way through The Clone Wars.

Like many people, I held a serious dislike for the prequels for many, many years. But The Clone Wars, by its sheer quality, in turn helped elevate the films themselves to a far more tolerable level for me. The movies are still not my favorite, but their contributions to the overall arc are at least watchable.

More than that though, as I’ve been watching Star Wars through the eyes of my children, I’ve been able to come to a sort of tentative peace with the elements of the movies that always irritated me. Jar Jar (to use a common SW lightning rod), will always annoy me. But he was not made to entertain teenager me when the movies came out, or grown up me right now. He’s for the kids. I always knew it, intellectually, but watching my kids find his antics amusing on a purely innocent level has helped me come to terms with it in a more fundamental way.

My relationship with Star Wars is a strange and complex one that spans decades. I have loved it, I have hated it, and I’ve been thoroughly ambivalent about it, at various points in time. At this point I’ve come to realize (and accept) that Star Wars not a franchise where every installment is going to be a winner. For every Rogue One, there’s a Phantom Menace. But when I step back and look at the mythos as a whole, I still find I have a lot of love for the series. The highs average out the lows, and we end up with a franchise that is generally, overall, pretty good.

And more importantly, it is not a franchise that belongs to any one age group, a perspective I feel I may have lacked when I was younger (though for the life of me I still cannot figure out who Rise of Skywalker was supposed to be for).

I enjoyed the Last Jedi. In general I thought it was fun. I also liked how it took a different look at the past Star Wars movies. In particular every movie seemed to have the heroes have a plan that was just crazy enough to work, and it always did. Every time they tried and someone said “i think this is a bad idea” or “the odds of this working are 3,720 to 1.” and the hero just says “I don’t care i think i can do it anyway.” I liked that the heroes in Last Jedi took that from… Read more »

I particularly liked how they changed the direction Luke’s character took. At the end of the series, you’re hopeful, you think that the jedi are in good hands, and that they will finally return to the galaxy. I feel that the subversion of expectations by making him a suicidal hermit with depression really shook up the galaxy. His defeat at the hands of Rey, and his intentional sacrifice at the end of the film really helped bring the new characters into their own. Having watched the film, I can really empathize with Luke Skywalker, wanting to kill myself in turn,… Read more »

I think mabie because I always felt star wars was more of a “fun action series” than something to take seriously. you look at those movie in that vein? still pretty good. looked pretty, fun action, anything wrong with it you can make a legitimate argument of having the same problems in the original trilogy just glossed over there with rose tinted glasses, etc. Really the only “Terri-bad” star wars movies in my book is… Read more »

The man who played Jar Jar, Ahmed Best, would be pleased to hear that. He put everything he had into that role, and the hate he got afterwards nearly drove him to suicide.

Personally, I thought he was funny, if a bit childish. But then again, I’ve never been very invested in the Star Wars films, so there was nothing to really be disappointed over. I had no soaring expectations of Phantom Menace.

Jar Jar wasn’t a great character but doesn’t deserve the hate most have for him. Episode 1 had a lot of problems and when you placed all the problems into a Vin Diagram you find Jar Jar to be the overlap for many of them, so he became the focus of the hate.

Agreed, It wasnt even so much that Jar Jar was a bad character it was more he didnt fit well with previous expectations. Stick him in a fresh franchise and he’d be an ok comic relief character. Shove him into starwars in front of people who have nostalgia glasses for the original trilogy and they wonder what this abomination is and why is it standing in the way of my nerdgasim.

And also it could have been a lot worse. Lucas originally wanted Michael Jackson to play jar jar but he would only do it if he had an actual Jar Jar suit on with a physical jar jar head on top of his… I shudder to think how that would have turned out.

JarJar had a head start by being in the first movie. That said to this day I still dont know who was to blaim for the bad Anakin. Was it bad writeing, bad directing, bad casting, or bad acting. He wasnt that bad an actor in other movies.

I’d say bad writing and directing mostly myself since a lot of Anakin’s lines were just painful. I’ve seen Hayden Christensen in a few other films and such and he wasn’t bad in those but he wasn’t great either. I’d say he was about average and bad writing and directing will make you seem worse than you actually are as an average actor. A good actor will probably perform well enough that people will recognize that he/she isn’t at fault for the character they are playing being bad though.

I really don’t understand the position that Last Jedi was for those who hate Star Wars. I love Star Wars, but after TFA didn’t really bring anything new I was ready to see a different direction for the franchise. Last Jedi was that opportunity. While it wasn’t executed well, at least it had a different progression for characters that actually make sense considering all that happened. You don’t come out of a war with your views unscathed.

Big problem was continuity. TFA set up one thing while Last Jedi decided to go off the rails and do it’s own thing and then Rise of Skywalker was an attempt to fix the mess that Last Jedi created and put things back to what TFA was setting up. It didn’t work but I can see what they were trying to do. Disney just plain fucked up the sequel trilogy by not having one person in charge of the whole thing. At least with the Original Trilogy and Prequel Trilogy, we had a singular voice as the ultimate guide for… Read more »

The only way Haldo makes sense is if she’s working for The First Order. But even with that excuse for her deliberately non-existent strategy and gas-lighting, it was still Leia’s character-assassination to have her trust Haldo over Poe “did nothing wrong” Dameron. Speaking of character-assassination, the guy who sought redemption in his genocidal child-murdering warlord father would rather boil alive than even consider killing his own nephew for having naughty thoughts.

Luke was absolutely character assassinated. That alone cemented that there was nothing worthwhile to be seen in Star-Wars from that point on. Poe was vindicated the moment they were followed through hyper-space, and his only mistake after that point was not using lethal rounds on Holdo when he took over.

Yeah that’s the real problem right there. Even the original movies were kinda meh by today’s standards of sci-fi/fantasy. But then for 15 years we had dozens of pretty good books that made that whole universe great. And they threw it all in the bin to make 6 more “meh” movies.

I’ve had big and solidly fundamented criticism for SW, since I was a kid and watched the originals in the ’80s (yeah, weird I guess lol). The many movies since, have only confirmed my arguments. Now, I don’t judge people’s taste. Anyone can just tell me they like it, present no actual argument for their liking, and I respect that. Taste in movies doesn’t require logic. You had a good time? I’m honestly happy for you. Fiction has its BIG share of positively brain-dulling franchises. I’d rather they watch SW instead, if it comes to that. AND, historically, SW opened… Read more »

I’m a huge Star Wars fan… but in fairness, no SW movie was perfect. My favorite, Return of the Jedi, had Princess Leia bikini bondage fan service for the first half, and tribal teddy bears for the second. Stupid decisions, IMHO. The Phantom Menace, for all its faults, had freakin’ Darth Maul and Qui-gon Jinn in it. Episodes 1-6 had a fantastic arc and a consistant theme and message, which I really appreciate. The Disney Trilogy, while having the best actors they could’ve hoped for (Daisy Ridley & Adam Driver), had terrible writing and were unnecessary. There was no consistant… Read more »

If you mean “watch from episode 1: Phantom Menace to episode 6: Return of the Jedi”, then your daughter must have been on a MASSIVE roller coaster of emotions, watching her hero be a bench mark of evil that cuts the hand off of his own son, and then later last minute redeems himself by saving his son and killing the Emperor.

I’m sorta jealous of your daughter going through that emotional trip.

Did you also include Rogue One in the movie lineup.

George Lucas wrote an excellent story, but isn’t great at dialogue. The best movies (ESB and RTJ) were co-written by Lawrence Kasdan. When George writes dialogue, you get gems like “I hate sand”, “It is obvious this contest cannot be decided by our knowledge of the force, but by our skill with a lightsaber”, and “I have the high ground.”

Yeah, that’s what made the prequels pretty bad. George Lucas pretty much got a bit of an ego and figured he didn’t need help writing them. When he had help writing the dialogue, it made it better.

It’s why I feel Hayden Christensen gets a bad reputation for something that wasn’t his fault. George Lucas had some pretty crappy dialogue for Anakin and Hayden Christensen was just an average actor in my opinion and so he wasn’t able to do squat with crappy dialogue.

Besides it’s by no means the first time a fantasy or sci-fi has had a character like that including the original trilogy. I mean C-3P0 was largely played for laughs he just wasn’t as stupid.

Take this all with a healthy pinch of salt, because I am not, and never have been, really big on Star Wars. The prequels were exceedingly OK. They had good moments, and bad moments. They had good characters, and bad characters. Some parts of the prequels aged well, some did not. To discount or ignore the prequels because they weren’t as reliably great as the original trilogy is like getting a burger and only eating the bread because the meat is a little dry.

I didn’t really hate Jar Jar, they just took Wicket the ewok and put him in more silly situations because people liked ewok. He is annoying in Phantom Menace at worst. Not that I liked it much either, but I have to say that The Clone Wars really redeemed the character. I found myself rooting for Jar Jar more than once. The Aftermath trilogy also makes a good job giving him a bittersweet goodbye. As much as the character was poorly received, he earned this ending, not the “gungan skeleton in the desert” that Abrams wanted. He is as much… Read more »

There’s a correlation between age and when the movie was seen on some elements. For example ewoks. If a person dislikes ewoks, the likelyhood that they were in their late teens when first seeing them is high, but if you saw it as a kid, you absolutely love ewoks, even as an adult.

I wasn’t allowed to watch Star Wars until Episode 3 was released, which I still think was an awesome movie with some of the best CGI ever used (it looked way better than Avatar), but I had friends who were into Star Wars, and their younger siblings were obsessed with Jar-Jar.
