Oh noes!! One line about how sand is annoying! I bet that must have pissed you off to no end.
Already did. Nitpicking and an overall negative attitude didn't change my mind about the movies.

This is canon.

Most of the problems with the Prequel Trilogy can be traced back to lack of character agency and the fact that George Lucas was clearly in love with the idea of the Jedi being the good guys.
If the Jedi had been painted more grey (like, point out they're brainwashing children) then Anakin could have consciously chosen the dark side for the relative freedom it provided and decide he needs to balance out the force by reducing the number of Jedi to match the number of Sith. If it were treated like a twisted moral choice instead of some bizarre destiny meets manipulation meets teen angst, it would have been a lot more interesting to watch.
The novelization. The capital was "Hosnian Prime".

It's fucken stupid. It should've been Corruscant.
He is so dreamy, I think I love him.
Yeah, it's the kinda thing that screams "novel".
Ren killed some kids. Probably killed Rey's mom, too. I got that, but I have zero interest in seeing that on screen to that degree of detail. Put it in a book.
And it makes perfect sense for me that you would hate them. So heh.
Also, I'm all about Star Wars (movies) in general, not just the prequels.
i bet 2 bucks we're going back there now that Hos has been ashed

Better than the prequels. Trust me.
I would say that the planet scapes in TFA are wholly unremarkable. Jakku is some generic desert ala Tatooine, Starkiller base is just a forest, etc. Say what you will about Lucas and the PT, at least he tried to broaden the SW Galaxy with visually spectacular landscapes that you couldn't find on Earth like Coruscant, Kamino or Mustafar.

Ancient lightsaber design, not as advanced as other sabers and shoddy build quality.
Yea. I'm not a HUGE fan of the prequels. I enjoy moments in each movie, but I'll be the first to tell you that those events are canon.

I need this
You complain about Jakku being a generic desert planet and then you prop up a generic water planet as a visually spectacular landscape
It should've been Naboo. Get rid of Gungans once and for all.

They WERE good though. They were always meant to be. Guardians of peace and justice. But they were flawed in their rules. So what you're saying does sort of apply. Anakin turns partially because of their stupid no relationship policy and how they apparently can't go visit people. These things added stress to Anakin and arguably led to Shmi's death, which then in Anakin's head was going to lead to the death of his wife and child.
From his point of view, they were evil

Is Earth even a thing in Star Wars
People like the prequels?
What are you all doing
This is madness

Nice. I have nothing against people who dislike the prequels. But trying to throw issues at them, and then ignoring them when they are told that stuff originating in the OT is very telling of the bias of some people.

It's primarily the cracked kyber crystal that results in the frazzled effect. But yeah, it doesn't look like he's constructed it very well either.

pretty lengthy reviews of each of the prequel movies, the first one isn't as long as the other ones, but the second and third review are movie length. He makes it comedic but is very detailed about the issues with the prequels. If you've ever heard someone say "whats wrong with your faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace" it's from this review.
I was half expecting the camera to zoom out at the end of The Force Awakens to reveal Rey and Luke are in Scotland on Earth.
Also acceptable. Naboo could've easily been one of the planets to get bopped.

It's not. There was almost an EU book at one point, that was going to say that Star Wars humans came from Earth Humans who accidentally traveled too far back in time, and accidentally got stuck here. It got canceled before release though.

How come no one complains about the ultimate Mary Sue: R2D2?
Makes sense, we already have Not-Tatooine, Not-Endor and Not-Hoth in the movie, might as well add Not-Coruscant to the mix.

Yeah I'm down with that but I'm mostly talking about how he felt the need to fill every wide shot with a million different stupid cartoon aliens and make sure to include stupid fart and poop gags.
There are instances of legitimately good cgi but for every scene where you've got badass obi wan Kenobi riding a giant lizard, you've got the fucking awful scene with Anakin and padme riding those buffalo-type things or whatever on naboo. There are times when it can work or is needed, and times where its completely unnecessary.
The planet scapes were one of the prequel's strengths. Order 66 was an excellent sequence because of it.

One thing I am a bit tired of is how every planet/moon in star wars has no sort of climate differences.
A planet/moon has 1 biome and that's it.
Well when an entire movie's central emotional hook is between two people awkwardly reading lines that no human would ever say (let alone reciprocating feelings towards), it's pretty fucking hard to give a shit. Made all the more baffling by him admitting to slaughtering an entire village including women and children, and she responds with a pat on the head as opposed to running from this psychopath.
Or in the next movie where the emotional crux is the fear of losing one's wife, whom he has zero onscreen chemistry with.
Yup. Such nitpicks.

I know lol, it was meant to be sarcastic as you just can't go five minutes without being referenced those reviews. I think they're funny and they have points, yet it's fine to acknowledge problems while still enjoying a movie.
In universe though it doesn't make sense for the Not-Empire to blow up the home world of the Emperor
I get what you mean, but also remember that most of the planets we visit in these movies we only get a glimpse of one region.

Welcome to outside the Internet.
A co-worker was talking about TFA today and said it was good but not as good as the old ones. When I asked what exactly did she mean by "the old ones", she said "Well, the other six". Like there isn't even a conceptual difference between PT and OT.
that was Not-Endor? and here I was thinking it was Not-Yavin.
Yeah, sorry that a fantasy movie in space doesn't have super realistic dialogue. The OT had shitty, over-the-top dialogue as well. It doesn't bother me either way.
We watched a marathon of the 6 movies before watching VII, including a friend who had NEVER seen a single Star Wars film in his life.
The PT was his favorite trilogy out of the 2. Which would be impossible according to the Internet.
