I’m sorry if you used to think the PT was good. That’s hard to understand too.

However I’m still a big fan of Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars. What are they waiting for to give him a SW animated series again ?

Because his first one wasn’t that great?

Is that the Samurai Jack one?

Yes. Because Star Wars needed Mace Windu jumping a thousand feet into the air to punch a skyscraper-size droid to pieces and that’s apparently much better than TFA or RO.

TFA and R1 are not SW. It’s bad movies with a SW skin, so it’s not SW. Clone Wars is. But that’s ok, your point of view is… logical.

You made a comment a bit ago that seemed to imply that your age is around 30. Why are you demanding that people not acknowledge TFA and RO as Star Wars movies but then you get angry when people say that your beloved cartoon isn’t Star Wars?

Can you define “real Star Wars” without mentioning Disney? Or is the mere corporate ownership enough to automatically disqualify anything that releases under them as “real SW?”

I doubt he knows enough about Star Wars to answer that in a satisfactory manner.

She’s just trolling, ignore her.

Mala’s impact on the site is akin to extreme necrosis which is something one shouldn’t ignore. You need to get rid of the taint and if that means changing the Forum Rules so that trolls/spammers can be punished I’m all for it.

Last I’ll say on the topic because it’s not relevant to the thread (and I’m being a little hypocritical by saying this) - until a moderator steps in, the only thing that will shut these people up is to ignore them. Eventually they’ll get bored. Engaging them only makes them enjoy it more, no matter what it is you actually say.

Ignoring them will only work if a vast majority of the reasonable posters did this in unison. If not the trolls are going to have enough to work with.

Not enough people read the EU.

I’d be open to presenting the story thus far for a newcomer as:
Rogue One, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7

I had my appendix out a few weeks ago and had a couple of days in bed to kill… so I tried that order and it actually worked pretty well (granted I slept through some of TPM and most of AOTC… lol).

For a new viewer I’d probably go with release order (although I do know a couple of people who’s first SW film was Rogue One and they really enjoyed it and had no problem following it).

RO/ANH actually works quite well if viewed as one big movie as the force is slowly introduced in a cool mysterious way. Chirrut isn’t a bad character to give you your first hints of the force and Obi-Wan’s descriptions of Vader in ANH carry even more weight after seeing him as the terror he is in Rogue One

Having to sit through the prequels after the cliffhanger in Empire… now that’s something you need hospital drugs for.

All I remember about Tartakovsky Clone Wars is that sick blue tattoo thing Anakin had.

Exactly. I do not see why would anyone want to put shit in the middle of the best sandwich.

I definitely loaded up on the painkillers near the end of TESB 😃

After reading that original article on the machete order, I gave it a go, and I will say it was a pretty interesting way to watch them. If you’re looking to rewatch the movies and want a new-ish experience I say give it a go, but I wouldn’t recommend it for a first time viewing.

Sam Witwer had a really interesting order (for kids at least), and it went TCW, ANH, ESB, ROTS, ROTJ.

Anakin would be their hero. When they see what’d happened to the galaxy and that Darth Vader killed him in ANH… Finding out that they’re one in the same in ESB would blow their minds even more than it did for any of us. They would have actually known Anakin and not just heard about what a great guy he was from Obi Wan. You also eliminate 2 out of the 3 prequels.

I have never seen TCW, but that list has a prequel in it, so it can’t possibly be the right order.

I guess sitting through that sh*t would help make ROTJ seem like a movie of the same quality as eps 4 & 5 😉

While ROTJ is certainly of higher quality than ANH and ESB, that might actually make it look like same quality. 😛
