FTFY

Yes. And preferably written by someone who understands normal human interaction.

You mean excising a song from a movie because it was sung by your ex isn’t considered normal human interaction?

The Force Awakens just has fun lines of dialogue that throw back to things like the Kessel run.

The bad guy being a Skywalker who turned to the dark side aka Anakin 2.0 ?
The Death Star 3.0 ?
The Emperor 2.0 ?
The Empire 2.0 ?
The Rebellion 2.0 ?
R2.0-D2.0 ?
etc.

I don’t like this movie because in a universe where it’s been established that there are robots everywhere, they made new robots. It’s too much like the old one. They should have just reused the same robots. I also don’t like that the villain wasn’t born evil, and that the evil organization has a leader. What’s up with that?

the historical importance,

I honestly have trouble grasping this argument for the SEs too.

I think that the obsessed prequel fans are starting to become a thing of the past. I’m not saying that people don’t still like the prequels, but the people who think that they are beautiful masterpieces and believe that the original trilogy was a prophetic follow-up to the prequels made 20 years in advance are starting to fade away.

I actually think they’ve grown in number since Disney bought Star Wars.

Yeah, I recently talked to TFA hater who thinks AOTC raises important and fascinating moral questions.

You don’t think it would have been weird for the commander of the Death Star in SW not to be present in this movie, which ends right before SW?

LOL

Good episode. Enjoyed seeing Zeb on his own, and really liked the design of the infiltrator droid–evoked the look of McQuarie concepts for seethreepio

When I have kids, I see no reason to show them the prequels. I actually fell asleep watching Clones with my family this year. Told them to watch Sith without me, and I’m the most devoted SW fan of the bunch.

I like my version better:

I once had a wife named Padmé. She died. She died.
Palpatine told me I killed her. He lied. He lied.
Why, oh why, is my wife dead?
Couldn’t I have lost the will to live, instead?

What’s with all this love for the redone explosions? What’s that blast ring even supposed to be?

This. They look stupid.

What it reminds me of is when you’re a kid with crayons, and you keep adding shit to a drawing long after you’ve drawn everything, trying to make it better, but you end up with a bunch of clutter and worse off than the initial drawing.

In fact, that’s what the various SEs represent, a kid who didn’t know when to put down the crayons.

TV’s Frink said:

Not sure why that question is in this thread though.

Just be grateful he didn’t create a new thread to ask the question.

just use google…

And if we still have tanks in 2017 then it’s more than reasonable that X-Wings and TIE Fighters are in TFA.

Of course. We still have Mark I tanks from WW1 as primary tanks.

No, but our primary tank, the M1 Abrams, entered service in 1980.

What’s with all this love for the redone explosions? What’s that blast ring even supposed to be?

Who said they were phased out by TIE interceptors?

ROTJ and common sense say so.

Why does the B-52H, last built in the 1960s, still make up nearly half of the US heavy bomber force? Why does USAF still fly versions of the F-16, initially developed in the 1970s, despite the development of more advanced airframes such as the F-15, F/A-18, and F-22? Can’t seem to figure out what common sense you speak of.

Still pertinent read from Bill Hunt from 2014:

This pic is. But there’s a nearly identical shot as the scarif crew pulls away, except the guy is doing nothing since it’s an unsanctioned departure.

“Stupid sand, gets everywhere.” LOL

Also just saw a second time. Even more enjoyable than first viewing. Comfortable calling it my third favorite SW.

1,2 SW/Empire
3 RO
4 TFA
5 Jedi

(seriously, f*ck J.J. Abrams).

A little much,no?

It’s a tiny detail that’s utterly inconsequential, but seeing this guy in R1 actually made me squeal with delight. Don’t know why it made me so happy, but it did. Maybe because it could be the closest I’ll get to seeing SW77 on the big screen.

I really enjoyed the shot of him as Rogue One pulls away, standing there doing nothing.

Why is the head of story group even engaging in this? Seems like he has a lust for attention.

Reliance reel had footage from Bespin too.

Also, since when do they rerate movies post release? All those Sean Cannery sec scenes are still PG.
