I like the fact that there's more people than I would have though jumping in to defend the Prequel Trilogy, because let's be honest, we're so critical of them because the Original Trilogy was so awesome. It's like bad Pixar movies. They're still better than average, but they're not as good as the rest of them.@N7 said:
This is the lamest shit ever. The prequels had some of the best fighting scenes from almost any movie, especially the original trilogy. Just because the story sucked doesn't mean that they weren't cool as shit.
Damn right they were cool. How can that fight with Darth Maul be lame? With that music?
Even the war scenes in Episode 2 near the end were some epic scenes.
What about the battle over Coruscant at the start of Episode 3? How the fuck isn't that (arguably) the best CGI space battle ever?
I believe that the Jedi weren't really made out to be as all powerful as some are saying. What evidence do we have that they were? The fact that they were almost wiped out? Even if we just go by the Original Trilogy (and I'm not) we have the fact that we know of a few Jedi that survived by hiding out and that they were more power than civilians and troopers. That doesn't mean they can't be destroyed and are ALL powerful. Someone brought up a point that troopers killed the Jedi. Order 66 worked so well because they were completely off guard. The Jedi that survived the attacks from the troops were powerful and lucky, but most of them had no reason to suspect anything. Yoda was powerful enough to feel something happening as it did, but the others were too focused on, you know, WAR to realise that their own troops were going to shoot them in the back.
Bounty Hunters can kill Jedi easier because they're highly trained and highly skilled with a ton more experience than the average trooper. Most of them had been hunting powerful people before hand. Jango clearly had experience fighting Jedi before that fight with Obi-wan, because he knew to keep the lightsabre away from him. Sure, it might be a little obvious, be he was good at stopping him from not only hurting and deflecting his bullets, but from using Force Powers in general.
