With that said, it’s not like I think the PT is better than TFA: they’re all terribly flawed one way or another, with TFA not being an exception.


Those aren’t the entirety of what I said, you ignored the stuff about Rey being in a single non-sexualized outfit and being sweaty, Finn being a rogue stormtrooper, etc. And have we had a movie recently with both? Did you see any of the online nonsense about a black stormtrooper?

😄 I thought we were talking about “risky decisions”. Is wearing a single non-sexualized outfit or being a rogue considered risky, now?
I seriously haven’t heard of people actually being against the concept of a black stormtrooper, neither on this site (as far as I remember), nor on guerrestellari.net, Italian Star Wars site. Considering the studios probably pushed for this idea to “widen the demographic”, I doubt they thought it was actually risky.

Absolutely false. I’ve seen plenty of complaints about this.

All right, it’s fine.

Did Vader use the force to torture and extract information? Did Vader freeze someone entirely?

To torture of course not (except maybe on Tentative IV), but it’s not like he used a new kind of “Force Power”. Freezing someone it’s like freezing bolts, remake of older concepts in the OT but “more kick-ass” with more special effects.

Yes, that’s still crazy talk. If you said “I didn’t enjoy TFA” or even “I hated it” that’s fair. Saying it’s equal to the PT is ignoring how bad the PT truly is.

Can we talk about this on just one thread? I don’t want to split myself in two 😄
