Sick of Star Wars Prequel bashing.... — Page 9

Supreme Chancellor: Remember back to your early teachings. "All who gain power are afraid to lose it." Even the Jedi.

Anakin Skywalker: The Jedi use their power for good.

Supreme Chancellor: Good is a point of view, Anakin. The Sith and the Jedi are similar in almost every way, including their quest for greater power.

Anakin Skywalker: The Sith rely on their passion for their strength. They think inward, only about themselves.

Supreme Chancellor: And the Jedi don't?

Anakin Skywalker: The Jedi are selfless... they only care about others.

Supreme Chancellor: [looking a little frustrated] Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis "the wise"?

Anakin Skywalker: No.

Supreme Chancellor: I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith who lived many years ago. He was so powerful and so wise that he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying.

Anakin Skywalker: He could do that? He could actually save people from death?

Supreme Chancellor: The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

Anakin Skywalker: What happened to him?

Supreme Chancellor: He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, and then one night, his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic that he could save others from death, but not himself.

Anakin Skywalker: Is it possible to learn this power?

Supreme Chancellor: Not from a Jedi.

I love this one even more.

 Shut yo mouth!

 But I'm talkin' about CPY...

 Then we can dig it! :)

obw1thirtyseven sed:

Would someone please close this topic?

Why? It's going fine. Please tell us a couple more million times about how the prequels are awesome films because you say so.

 And I also want to hear all the people like you tell me that Episodes IV-VI are infinitely superior to those films because you and they say so.

Pwned.

I love this!

 ^ Lazy fan service that only makes sense if you watch the films back to front. Also it makes no sense in the context of the scene but apart from those three things it's brilliant!

 So first people say they don't like the films because they cater to kids. Now they say they don't like "fan service"?

Leonardo said:

ooohhh he used language from 2007... now I'm really scared. he's good, guys.

 "Oooh he's not up-to-date with all us judgemental conformists...." I haven't seen any of those...

Who you calling a conformist, peckerwood?

 What have these two things got in common?

I don't like the clumsy fan-service and I don't like the pandering to a misguided idea of what a child likes. I also don't like Anchovies and Zac Snyder but I don't see how either are connected.

 Well whatever, but regardless, I liked the reference.

Some say "Prequel Hater" some say "Film Lover"  You are participating in a forum that attracts people who have some technical interest in restoring, or at a minimum, watching Star Wars movies that are not George Lucas's version of the Star Wars universe.  As the other trilogy represents the pinnacle of what at least a few of us think went wrong with the Star Wars universe, at least a few of us simply aren't going to agree with you unless you can convince us why and how we are wrong.

Merely saying, "Everything is awesome" isn't a way to convince me nor I suspect is it a way to convince many of the people who hang out here.

OBI-WAN37, my interpretation of why the thread is still open is because you are fun and mostly harmless.  For me, It's light entertainment to come here to see what kind of zaniness you've cooked up each day.  If this thread does get the TFN treatment, I certainly hope you declare some other piece of non-defensible opinion in some new thread so we can go there for an occasional smile 

@OBI-WAN37

I'll give you the Palpatine/Anakin discussion as decent dialogue.  But it's not great.  The bigger issue with it, however, is why Anakin felt it was perfectly normal for the Chancellor to be dabbling in Sith legend.  Why is a supposedly good character telling Anakin (a Jedi) that the Jedi are no different than the Sith.  Anakin finds all of this perfectly normal, and it makes him look completely daft.

 At this point I'm too tired to think of the possible flaws in your logic, so I'm just going to say the always-reliable phrase: whatever.

 It's not weird to enjoy something ironically.  You function as a little piece of transplanted TFN prequel forum that randomly regurgitates hilarious TFN sounding things right here just for our private enjoyment without having to leave OT.com!

 Quoted for truth.

Quoted for hilarity.

 And people like you function as something very boring: people who randomly regurgitate the same things over and over again (i.e: "the prequels suck", "the prequels' acting sucks" "let's flame prequel-lovers")....

Very, very, very, very boring.

Very boring.

And predictably conformist.

This thread is getting out of hand. People seem to be making violent threats. That's serious.

 There isn't a single flaw in my logic.  Which I would guess is why you resort to "whatever."

You claim us to be boring, yet we are willing to discuss our reasoning with sound logic and objective facts, with opinions sprinkled in.  You on the other hand can only seem to defend your prequel love by telling us things you like about it.  We know you like it, tell us objectively how those things make it good movie.

 No no no no no..... you're mistaken.... that's a quote (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quote). This is gold:(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold )
