the only thing 'new' with the force that it did was do away with the need of training. EVERYONE is suddenly an expert from the start. shm.
hardly bold... just pandering to this generation that thinks you get trophies for everything.

The Prequels gave us a literal force baby.

Isn't the official word was that Anakin was a ritual summoning?

I can't speak to that, but if you've got a link I'd sure love to read about it.
I only remember Anikin's mother saying the boy had no father, with the heavy implication he was not consummated in the usual way. So everyone knowing how to control the force with as much ease as there is lightning-bending in Legend of Korra doesn't bother me nearly as much.

It was basically an experiment by darth plageus to live forever. apparently instead of extending life, he created it instead.
it's more or less dialogue during part 3 with the oprea scene.

I don't see why this matters, Episode 9 wraps up the new trilogy and is already well underway and that does it for the sequel movies. We're just going to get spinoffs from now on anyway.
I hope you guys enjoy the "Boba Fett" and "Yoda" movies coming up, besides the Obi-wan movie. |

Anakin was created by Plagueis to bring balance to the Force. He was and he did. It's not spelled out and it would be stupid if it was, but there it is.

I don't remember that. I remember the 'he'd even influenced the midichlorians to create life' line. or something to that effect. and I always assumed it was plagues who influenced the force to randomly create anakin.

Right. But that was the reasoning. They weren't just making cabbage patch kids to make cabbage patch kids.

I always assumed it was just a deliberate experiment to get the life extending ability perfected.

I always assumed it was Sidious himself that created Anakin with the force via midi-chlorians. Didn't he say that Plagueis' apprentice learned the technique and then later killed his master. I always assumed that the Emperor was speaking of himself when he mentioned the apprentice.

At least they are very different from OT in terms of the stories, so there's that. The main problem of prequels, that they have a very good story under all that. There are a lot of world building, political intrigues and character dramas...and all of this buried under bad stilled acting from some of the main characters, bad dialogues in general and too many (sometimes mediocre) special effects. Like Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions there are good ideas somewhere, but you need to try and force yourself to not let all the bad stuff to distract you from discerning good things about those movies.

Arguably the only characters who were good characters in the prequels are SLJ's Mace Windu, Palpatine, Obi Wan and Liam Neeson's Quai Gon. |

hence why he says 'together, we can unlock the secret'. I think that it was then that he realized the technique probably worked, had created anakin the one time it was used, and it was worth pursuing with anakin to unlock the secret.

He should have done that with "Looper 2," or "Bricks" or something... not Star Wars, namely the second of three movies in a sequel trilogy that already wasted its running time on setups and remakes in the first one.
