Is TESB a British film?

“Get over violence, madness and death? What else is there?”

Also known as Mr. Liquid Jungle.

Depends. If it depends on the story/director, it’s American. But most of the crew was English and most of the film was shot at Pinewood, so would that make it English?

Hanging out on a open balcony in broad daylight mere hours after somebody tried killing you the moment you landed on Coruscant seems kind of dumb?

That’s the least of that flick’s issues.

Yeah, but this didn’t occur to me until recently.

Even that whole assassination attempt by a droid at the window doesn’t seem to bother them.

Yeah, all the elaborate security stuff didn’t amount to much. Even Artoo fails at protecting Padme. Maybe they should have installed one of these? 😛

Maybe secretly Padme wanted to die because she saw what was going to happen to her… she was going to star in the prequels

Ah 77, my favourite year even if i wasn’t alive

^Then I apologize for my post , I get fed up with seeing click bait videos on youtube by posters like Zeroh when their are hundreds of creators out there who produce quality content ( some on this very site ) and hardly get enough recognition while these shills like Zeeroh on youtube get thousands of followers using dirty tactics . I was not aware of their history of trashing the site , else I would have refrained from posting and just stated my above opinions . I will try and check my sources little better next time .Seems like MSW is just as bad about spreading B.S. to promote themselves .

The Star Wars franchise has been inconsistent in their portrayal of Dark Side corruption.

In the OT the only instances of Dark Side corruption are Vader and the Emperor, with both having very pale skin, and in the Emperor’s case in particular, yellow eyes. Later we meet Darth Maul, who has the yellow eyes characteristic of the Dark Side, but retained his youthful appearance throughout the twenty years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Count Dooku shows no signs of Dark Side corruption implying his fall to the dark side has been relatively recent or he doesn’t draw from the Dark Side as much as others do. ROTS really screws up the whole notion of Dark Side corruption by revealing the reason Palpatine looks the way he does in the OT is because of Mace Windu deflecting the Force lightning back at him (I always assumed it was because of his many years immersed in the Dark Side), and finally we have Anakin Skywalker whose eyes only turn yellow when he’s really angry or something. Finally we have Snoke and Kylo Ren, with Snoke looking very old and decrepit but doesn’t have yellow eyes even though he’s established to be a longtime practitioner of the Dark Side, and Kylo Ren who been a Dark Side practitioner for at least ten years yet doesn’t show the slightest hint of Dark Side corruption.

This franchise seriously can’t make up its mind regarding the whole dark side corruption subject.

I will help you with that, Disney doesn’t count as cannon. Only the Expanded Universe counts as cannon in this case, cause the EU makes sense when it comes to Dark Side Degradation.

Yeah, but Star Wars was already inconsistent with its portrayal of Dark Side corruption before the Disney takeover (i.e.: the PT).

They’re both cannon because they’re both explosive and damaging.

Why so much EU hatred from you Duracell? Are you Kethleen in disguise or something?

I could ask the same about your Disney hatred, Zerome.

Just let people have their own opinions without them being ‘paid off’ or anything.
