WW1 was called “the war to end all wars.” Then approximately 20 years later, WW2 started. There is no such thing as “and they lived happily ever after.” Life goes on. There is always another story.

Exactly. Some people just didn’t get the next story they wanted.

Some people didn’t get the backstory they wanted so PT = shit. As movies yes. As stories no.

<strong>STAR WARS: REBELS</strong> (animated tv series) - a general discussion thread
Time

Just finally watched it. Apparently now we have the answer as to why Leia was absolutely ok post-mind probe torture.

I loved… SPOILERS BELOW

how they sent Kanan off. It was pretty emotional. When Chopper and Hera held hands I got close to crying.

Agree with joefavs though, the Rukh thing was bullshit at its best. He’s been a very bad and pointless addition to the series so far.

Gotta agree with Collispo. In all technicality, the PT did expand the story of the OT and build upon the existing trilogy while the ST is simply a continuation or in a way just a soft reboot.

But yeah, you can say technically the same thing about ESB since Star Wars did leave things off so nicely.

And at the end of the day it doesn’t matter to me. I don’t watch the PT and I really enjoy the ST. That’s all it comes down to.

Exactly.

Okay so now you actually are saying that. Jesus

Both are absolutely pointless to the OT, much like TESB is pointless to SW.

Okay, I was going to say, what’s to say ESB isn’t pointless.

The difference between the PT and the ST is that there was a story to tell in the PT, and there’s no story left to be told after RotJ. If they don’t really expand every aspect of the universe and make it interesting that is, like TESB, which they did to an extent, even if rehashing the OT to a large degree.

So the ST is more pointless than the PT but of course better.

I still don’t follow (and I strongly disagree that there’s no story to tell after ROTJ, which is an absurd statement). How is the PT adding anything by telling a story we already know?

We might have known the outcome of the PT from the start, but it was a story that still hadn’t been told. And we’ll have to agree to disagree with the idea that there was more to be told after RotJ. I guess that in the end that’s what it comes down to.

The Cloverfield Paradox - I’ve never watched any of its predecessors, but this was fun-ish. I quite enjoy paradox and movies that deal with this sort of thing, with this supernatural aspect. And it was a cool movie in general, I didn’t hate it but didn’t love it. The worms scene alone makes me never want to watch this again though. Absolutely gross.
