In what way I should watch a Star Wars Marathon? — Page 6

Author

I would watch it on the television. Keeping up with all those runners in costume for 26 miles is way too exhausting.

In my personal canon, Palpatine’s first name isn’t the “Empirically Bad™” Sheev.

It’s a bad name even as Star Wars names go.

Keep Circulating the Tapes.

It’sy he ever referred to as Sheev in the movies? Or is that from the EU?

It’s from the new canon eu. From the novel Tarkin.

Damn, that name snokes.

I still can’t believe they threw out the EU and all its stupid cringey bullshit, only to immediately turn around and dub one of the most important and badass characters of the series with the name “Sheev.” Epic fail.

Never understood the disdain for “Sheev”. It’s no dumber or better than 80% of other Star Wars names. Certainly not as bad as the last couple decades of ridiculous Darth names.

I didn’t say it was worse than “Dooku” or “Grievous” but “there was dumber stuff in the prequels” isn’t exactly the best defense. Point is Palpatine is a character who doesn’t even need a name other than “Palpatine.” “Sheev” just takes away from his badassness.

What about Darth Plagueis the Obscure John Milton Reference?

“That Darth Vader, man. Sure does love eating Jedi.”

The tragedy of Darth Plagueis added to the lore and laid the foundations for a great novel which would fix numerous problems with the Prequels.

Dude, aside from the fact that you shouldn’t talk about piracy here, TFA is going to be on iTunes in something like two and a half weeks. Watching a legit home video of TFA instead of a crappy cam should be enough incentive to just wait it out a little while longer.

Not only that, it’s gonna be on Starz next month. Just DVR it and you have it for free.

I can’t wait for it to come out on iTunes in two weeks!

I would think:
-Star Wars (original cut)
-Empire Strikes Back (original cut)
-Return of the Jedi (original cut)
-Caravan of Courage
-Battle for Endor
-The Force Awakens

If you wanted to do an alternate-quality marathon, you could try:
-The Phantom Menace
-Attack of the Clones
-Revenge of the Sith
-The Holiday Special

Each set you’ll notice has its own flavor. Namely, one set is good and another is not so good, or rather, bad.

Jar-Jar is the Emperor in the extra special edition of ROTJ (scenes 1, 3, and then 6 to the end).

No better viewing order.
