Ranking the Star Wars films
Time

even though i warmed up to tfa, i still cannot watch it without getting really pissed. the movie up until the falcon shows up is actually pretty good, and i still rewatch that half hour-ish from time to time. but oh boy… after that it’s just unwatchable to me, and it’s basically because of rey. i can’t watch the mind trick scene anymore, for example. or rey vs kylo. it just makes no sense. much like anakin destroying the donut in tpm (read: anakin in tpm) made no sense. so yeah, while tpm is still ‘enjoyable’ to me, tfa definitely isn’t, and i think it’s because qui-gon is the main character in tpm and the annoying ones are on the side. with tfa it’s the opposite. but i may still try to fanedit tfa to my liking - even though i don’t think i’ll ever be able to sit through the mind trick scene. ever.

tlj on the other hand might still get a big smile out of me (especially with darthrush’s fanedit that should be coming out in the next few months). my biggest problem with tlj nowadays is that the rey, kylo, luke and snoke plot is absolutely wonderful but feels like a completely different movie from the rest. and the rest… is not so wonderful.

all that said, both of the movies when they came out were absolute disappointments to me. tfa a lot more so than tlj. oh well 😦

i loved r1 though, and i’m looking forward to watching solo.

my current ranking:

  1. Star Wars
  2. The Empire Strikes Back
  3. Return of the Jedi
  4. Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
  5. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
  6. Star Wars: The Last Jedi
  7. Star Wars - Episode II: Attack of the Clones
  8. Star Wars - Episode I: The Phantom Menace
  9. Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Unpopular opinion: Despite his unreasonable 0/10 ranking of Rogue One, I find Mala’s opinions to be interesting and fun to read.

I give it 2/10 now ! (don’t ask me why… maybe because I feel no SW should deserve 0… and I like the soundtrack, the visual, and even if it doesn’t make much sense at a story level, the Vader’s big scene is brillant).

Rogue One’s story doesn’t make much sense?!! WHAT THE FUCK! I’m gonna have to leave this forum because of the goddamn stupidity that you assholes spew from your shit-holes!!

Rogue One * <em>Spoilers</em> * Thread
Time

rey is extremely charismatic and a very likeable character overall. she has some very interesting stuff that she has to figure out about herself that would make her an awesome character. unfortunately she suffers from overpoweredness, which makes me lose my interest in her and even find her annoying. (plus i don’t think she’s well written in tfa)

jyn is likeable even though she’s not an active protagonist and while she has somewhat of an arc it’s not a very well developed one (even though i quite liked it and thought it was very compelling) which ends up hurting RO a lot.

cassian imo is the most interesting character in RO: he had lost himself in the war and ends up finding his way back to the light with jyn, i think. i should rewatch the movie, but i remember cassian being a well developed character.

sure if you like rey she’s a much better character than the other two. objectively she’s miles ahead from any of them. but i dislike rey, so, to me, rogue one’s characters are far better.

would it be possible to make instantly downloading an image optional?
Time

as in, we’d only see a link to the image, and for us to actually see it we’d have to click on “expand” or on the link, or something.

of course i wouldn’t want this to be the standard, but for someone who can only log in using their phone and wants to save cellular data, it’d be quite the useful tool. so i think that having it as an option would be nice.

much like when you disable “media preview” on twitter for mobile.

is it unreasonable to consider the post-Lucas era of Star Wars fan fiction?

Depends on your definition. If it was, a lot of modern media would be too. So much so as to render the label pointless.

what in modern media would be considered fan fiction? i mean, if a guy bought the rights to lotr and decided he’s the new tolkien and wrote a sequel to the book, i’m not sure if i’d consider it “official canon”. i know i don’t consider the 8th harry potter canon, for example.

I’d be here for a long time if I was listing everything. Even a lot of SW media made while Lucas was in charge would qualify.

Also, Harry Potter 8?

The Cursed Child, the play. it was released as the eighth harry potter story, iirc.

But wasn’t that co-written by Rowling?

was it? i thought that it had been approved by her, but not co-written or anything like that.

By that reasoning, are Superman comics by anyone other than Siegel/Shuster fanfic? Or post-Roddenberry Trek?

i know nothing of star trek (i don’t know anything about comics either), but yeah, i guess you’re right when talking about comic books and comic book characters. but then again, these superheroes (or other characters) have several ‘canons’ from what i understand, so… i don’t know, i think i’d only consider certain stories by certain authors to be ‘canon’ when talking about comics.

Harmy's RETURN OF THE JEDI Despecialized Edition HD - V3.1

ChainsawAsh said:

Yep. In fact, IIRC Jedi is the only one of the OT for which the community already has scans of every frame (4K77 still has some missing frames filled in with 97SE and Blu-Ray frames), and it’s in significantly better condition than the SW and ESB prints that have been scanned (though the new ESB print Poita has acquired is in fantastic condition as well).

i believe the print that TN1 will use for 4k83 is in excellent conditions, for example.

i don’t think ren is a title, i think it’s just a new name he came up with.

The implication I got was that all of the Knights of Ren held that same title. But I don’t believe it’s been confirmed either way yet.

the implication i got was that the knights of ren were kylo’s knights. like, it’d be the same of there were the knights of vader. they’d be vader’s knights. something like that.
