There literally was no worse decision in the prequels than having the main war be between incompetent droids and clones.
I personally enjoyed the action scenes. But to your point, it might be even more infuriating to someone like you that essentially both the clones and droids were fighting for the same leader - Palpatine. He obviously orchestrated the entire thing to become emperor, the culmination of a life-long plan. So we are basically watching one guy pits his two armies against each other. He wins no matter what.

Here's the point though: save for the Jedi, there seem to be no obvious victims for this war here. I don't think it ever crossed Yoda's mind on how many widows this war would create. These things were built and bred for war, so aside from the Jedi, who exactly was threatened by the Clone Wars? Corusant looks just as thriving in Episode III as it does in Episode I. And I don't care if it's in the Clone Wars series, since aside from the Jedi and some Wookies, you don't see any non-clones or droids actually fighting this war in the films.

Is anyone watching right now?
I thought I had a folder on my computer with all six, but I remember now when I was downloading the torrent I only clicked to download IV-VI.

Xquise me is maybe the worst line in the prequel trilogy.
Why are Jedi using extortion to convince Jar Jar to go to the gungan city. Seems pretty unjedi like.

The books get into it more, there were billions of innocents killed. And the war was a dirty war with lots of terrorism, betrayal and double crossing, etc. There were many worlds that broke out in civil war. Just not shown in the movies.
And I am at least am watching.
Why is the planet core hollow? Wouldn't that make the world way to cold to be habitable.

Padame is letting the imposter queen make all the decisions. All she said is "we are brave" to a dual option question. A logical response is impossible to make from that.
Also, why do shield generators not working make you sitting ducks.

The bigger question is why the Trade Federation landed on the opposite side of the planet instead of straight to the Naboo City. I remember noticing that even when I was 9 and thinking it made no sense.
Posted on 11/30/15 at 6:16 pm to OMLandshark
I think they landed all around the planet. The transports the Jedi were on just happened to be going to that other side of the planet.
Also, even if I'm wrong about that and I doubt it, the bamboo communications were down so landing far away adds into that surprise.

Anakin can build a pod racer and an android but has trouble creating a scanner to find his slave chip?
Posted on 11/30/15 at 6:35 pm to athenslife101
Fart joke :(((
Padame is an idiot for letting Gin get away with this plan.
So her secret identity's name is Padame. Padame, which is the first name of the queen. People didn't notice?

The pod race is pretty bad arse.

If they refuse to train Anakin, what should have happened to him?

Qui Gon is a fricking horrible person throughout the first prequel film. Obi Wan is a fricking horrible person for the first part of the third prequel film.

Did qui gon know along Padame was the queen? Legit question. He gives a look when she announces it and it's either an impressed look or a finally she knows.

His droid is also fricking pathetic. How is C-3PO supposed to do housework other than carrying trays?

Pretty easy to become a general in the gungan army.
Earth Maul is pretty damn short.
This fog shot is cool.
Why being a child into a battle?
Why would the droids hold the pilots next to their fighters (like they did earlier in the movie)?
If you really pay attention to the fight, the Jedi are really just fricking around. They aren't even trying to win. Their striking at Maul's blades, not at him. Stupid!
I started giggling at the grappling scene.
No that is not pod racing you stupid idiot. That's flying a military spacecraft.

Does this involve killing younglings?

Watching someone burn with no shroud is pretty fricked up. Really. fricked up actually.

Qui Gon was drunk the entire time, so I doubt he knew.

I hate how clean and choreographed the light saber fights are. It is ridiculous.
