It’s nostalgia.
You’re basically just making up things here.
The evidence is that Jango Fett was hired to kill Padme and is also the template for the clone army, tries to kill Obi Wan, and goes directly from Kamino to the secret droid factory headquarters on Geonosis. This is brought up to Obi Wan and he very stupidly goes “no there appears to be no motive” and then Yoda says “do not assume anything,” and then they never talk about it again. The idea that a Jedi master goes out of their way to pay for a gigantic army of millions of troops and ships, in secret, for an unknown purpose, without telling anyone, and there’s no further investigation into it is just insane. If anyone in the Republic is involved at all in any capacity, which they would have to be to manage hundreds of star destroyers right away, that’s already a conspiracy. Count Dooku straight up tells them everything about Darth Sidious and they don’t even think it’s worthwhile to check. People put this up to the Jedi’s supposed “hubris” but it’s not hubris, it’s that they’re being written as morons. They don’t do the basic kind of stuff you would see in the first 20 minutes of an episode of a police procedural.
That’s not in the post I responded to. It said seeing the droid army and the clone army in the same day.
And I brought up my criticism about the connection between Dooku and Jango and the Jedi not looking into it further.
Obi-Wan saying there appears to be no motive and Yoda saying to assume nothing happens before geonosis and is about the cloners involvement in the assassination on Padme.
Manage hundreds of star destroyers right away? What does that have to do with anything? Where’s it said anyone is managing star destroyers?
The Jedi outright talk about this, that they don’t trust Dooku’s word, seeing it as a way to creating mistrust and they also agree to keep an eye on the Senate after this. Criticize that we don’t see it much, to me, yeah, but you seem to suggest that it’s not there.
Han is very masculine, Anakin isn’t. He’s being a “scoundrel” but Leia is ultimately into it. He’s getting her to more consciously recognize her latent attraction to him. Anakin starts in the friend zone, and openly lusts, whines, complains, discusses sand, commits mass murder, and then somehow at the end of it Padme is deeply in love with him. The facial expressions are just one part of it.
You basically just said nothing about the Han thing. Han openly lusts, whines, complains. Like I said before, the tuskens are after the mass bulk of the romance has happened. I can see that, but that’s not what nearly all of their romance building is about.
For nostalgia - what you said before was that it was some Plinkett thing. What Plinkett was talking about at the time (2012 apparently) was original trilogy fans who went into the prequels excited about it and willing to overlook any problems because they were already fans. That was true to some extent. What we’re talking about today with nostalgia is largely younger millennials and Gen Z kids who watched the prequels as children, played prequel-themed video games, watched The Clone Wars on Cartoon Network, and so on. You might be in this demographic, I don’t know. In any case, they don’t really understand the context or why there was so much backlash, they just watch a video about how people were mean to Jake Lloyd and Ahmed Best and George Lucas and think that that means the original fans were just big meanies, and not that there were serious quality issues with the script and production that caused genuine disappointment. They were too young to think about it, and today refuse to engage with it critically beyond video essays about how the prequels were underrated. That’s what we mean by nostalgia.
The cloners in that scenario are affiliated with Jango Fett, who they know definitely tried to kill Padme. It’s an obvious connection to make and not literally just about the Kaminoans. The connection is confirmed when Jango is working directly for Dooku. All the actions line up. Trying to kill the most prominent public figure arguing against war, setting up an army in secret, then setting up another army in secret to fight that army. It’s not rocket science. Even without the Separatists, it makes sense for someone plotting a war to raise an army and kill the person trying to oppose an army.
Do you understand how a military works? It requires serious coordination between thousands or tens of thousands of people. The clones have to be put under some kind of command structure. Yoda didn’t do all that himself in 10 minutes before they all flew to Geonosis. There were star destroyers and troop carriers and tanks all ready to go, so either those were built on Kamino as well (unlikely, we don’t see that at all and it’s a huge ocean) or someone in the Republic had them ready to go and kept it secret. There would have to be a pretty decent sized paper trail to investigate, and they just don’t seem to care.
Yes I know Yoda says that. It’s like Dooku was doing some goofy reverse psychology thing. “If I tell them everything that’s going on, they won’t believe me and they’ll think the opposite!” And they just fall for it because they’re written as morons. They don’t do anything about the senate.
What Han does is completely different from Anakin and apparently you didn’t read what I said. Anakin complains about his personal life, tells her that he’s obsessed with her, leers at her in a way that makes her uncomfortable, says that she’s in his soul tormenting him, etc. It’s weird and no real woman would ever be into that unless she had such an extreme physical attraction that she didn’t care. Maybe that’s all it was. Han is being cocky and brash and aggressive, but he isn’t telling Leia he’s obsessed with her or having dreams about her or putting her on a pedestal. When he’s complaining and yelling he’s teasing her. He impresses her with genuine confidence, competence, and skill. He’s playing the “bad boy” persona, which is a cliche but it’s absolutely true and not just a Hollywood thing. Anakin is the weirdo “nice guy.”
