I don’t how someone could remotely call the oot a flop.

A flop for me.

So you actually think oot is a flop?

I hate Palpatine’s depiction

Get out. McDiarmid’s performance is one of ROTJ’s saving graces.

If he is not a force ghost, what else could he be? He’s dead.

Maybe not. Luke’s mechanical hand should been left behind when he vanished.

Given that TLJ builds on the prequel trilogy, in details as well as themes, I think it’s reasonable for Ep9 to appropriately tie into the PT and OT to attempt to conclude the entire story. I don’t see a problem with Anakin appearing.
Even if you want to ignore the PT and SE, it’s not like Sebastian Shaw is available. Perhaps they can depict Anakin as being a youthful middle-aged, about how old Hayden is now. In my book, I’d suggest making him appear vaguely elderly, but not necessarily a Shaw lookalike. To look timeless, in keeping with his ghost in ROTJ somewhat, just like how Ben and Yoda didn’t appear youthful.
I still think it’s profoundly dumb to insert him into a 1983 film the way they did, and would always prefer the original regardless; a new movie with Hayden reprising his role wouldn’t change that. What if McGregor appeared as a force ghost? Would you resent that, too?

Anakin could also appear via a hologram. If Artoo still has Leia’s Help me Obi-Wan message in his memory, there’s probably lots of other things in there too.

He’s a Saturday morning cartoon supervillain. I much prefer Clive Revill’s understated delivery.

TESB showed the series had potential to be more than silly space opera rooted in black-vs-white mentality. Palpatine and his entire shtick is a regression.

No. ROTS Emperor is a parody of ROTJ Emperor (Emporer? Whatever happened to that guy??)

I don’t even think ROTJ is great, but it’s much better than you give it credit for. And complaining about the ROTJ Emperor is something I can’t wrap my head around.

Anyway, what thread are we in?

Maybe not. Luke’s mechanical hand should been left behind when he vanished.

This is the first time I have seen anyone try to argue that Luke didn’t actually die.

He’s less dead than you can possibly imagine.

You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

Luke will return in the flesh, saying he’s feeling much better, but frustratingly never finishes telling anyone exactly what happened to him.

I hope there is a scene with Poe in a gladiator costume to contrast with Huttslayer Leia in Jedi.

It seems like people are really embracing the new characters. In fact, the big question people ask me now about Star Wars is, “Are Finn and Poe gay lovers?” And really how the f*ck would I know? My second husband left me for a man, so my gaydar isn’t exactly what you’d call Death Star level quality. ----Carrie Fisher

Tbf, we did get shirtless Kylo.

I get the sense that s/he’s not so much concerned about gender equality in this case so much as getting to see Oscar Isaac in a gladiator costume on the big screen. Correct me if I’m wrong.

You’re definitely wrong in general but I suppose you could be right in this case.
