I would say that diminishing one of the series’ greatest characters is worse than any type of fan service.
I assume you mean Darth Vader? That’s your opinion, not a fact. If you want to talk about diminishing a great character I’d love to know why Han Solo lost all his character progression from IV - VI, just so he could do it in a third of the time in VII for “new audiences.” Or maybe Luke, running away from his friends and family because he dun goofed. Gee that sounds like Luke. How about Leia, that kickass heroine from the other three films? Oh yeah she just kinda stands around and talks now. How truly respectful of Daddy Disney.
I’m sure it will “all be explained in the next film” though, because movies apparently shouldn’t have to be able to stand on their own anymore.
Also Jango Fett is blatant fan service and created a disconnect with the OT that lead to Boba’s original voice being replaced.
Jango Fett is not the reason the voice actor was changed, Lucas going completely nuts at the editing station is why that happened. Giving a character backstory is not blatant fan service in a saga of six films that link to each other.
I honestly couldn’t care less what you think of any of the Star Wars films. I just want to know what the point of threads like this are if the mindset is that you share the opinion of others or get out.
Again, what is the point of posting the same list over and over again?
