Politics 2: Electric Boogaloo
Time

I’m not very fond of super automatic things or AIs or that sort of stuff. I have Siri turned off on my phone, and I’m not a fan of Amazon’s Echo (Alexa). I may be superstitious (perhaps I was traumatized by HAL), but I just wouldn’t feel safe being in a car where there’s no driver. Heck, if I get nervous whenever insert bad driver is driving me somewhere in the safest road possible, I sure will get really nervous in a driverless car, when there’s no one to trust.

But this is just an anecdote I felt like was worth sharing, although it’s not really relevant. I just assume some other people are going to feel like I do.

I’m tired of you Frink. Your shtick has gotten old. I’m tired of you having to have everything your way and doing these like posting these Sanchez pics when they don’t go your way. Posting these Sanchez pics is your way of throwing a fit. Why can’t you just let people have fun in their own way without interfering?

How does it interfere? Post your repetitive Eagles chance every hour like you have been doing all along. No one is stopping you.

Also if I am throwing a fit (lol by the way) it’s the mildest fit in the recorded history of fits.

I don’t do it every hour. If/when the bears get in the Superbowl, you can do the same.

Hahahah joke’s on you the Bears are not making the Super Bowl before global warming melts the earth into a burnt husk.

This is so depressing. From what I’ve seen they’re the worst organization in the face of the earth. 😕 pretty sad, I went to the aquarium yesterday, saw Soldier Field and actually thought about that. Oh well.

I know you finshed but you should add the line from season 6 of the clone wars.

Replace my powers have doubled since we last fought. With for once you did you’re own dirty work count

Again, the different voice actors makes it too jarring. If you want this to happen so badly do it in your own edit instead of constantly telling others to do it even after they’ve said they won’t be using the idea.

its like revisited

how so?

An essay written by JGL on Luke Skywalker - worth reading. Even though we ultimately disagree, he clarifies some great points already presented in this thread several times, and he does acknowledge that those who didn’t like the movie aren’t entirely wrong on Luke’s characterization or the movie itself.

If already posted, forgive me.

Another way to take this is that Luke is no longer our main character. In a movie, audience avatars such as Luke or Neo or Ethan Hunt cannot abandon their missions, cannot have self doubt so severe that they give up on the story, since that sends the clear message that the audience should give up on the story. I think this is where many fans are stuck right now. They still see Luke as the main character, someone who needs to have faith in this story. But the main character is Rey, and it is through her eyes that we are seeing this version of Luke. She is disappointed with this guy, the legend who was supposed to show Rey her place in all this. And that’s exactly why Luke cannot be the legend anymore. He must be a disappointment because otherwise people would continue to see him as the main character, and Rey would never even have the opportunity to carry the weight of the story on her shoulders.

People forget also that this is a mythological convention as old as the hills, and even Star Wars has used it in the past. The father figure becomes the ogre that our hero must slay, for the good of the people. Their time has passed, their rule is corrupted, the young blood must overthrow them. The Last Jedi accomplishes this in spades.

My problem with that is that I didn’t connect with Rey in TFA, which leads me to believe that most, if not all of my problems with TLJ, are TFA’s fault.

Thanks for the share, just started reading it, and i can tell its a good article.

Yep, I really enjoyed reading it. Such a positive article. I’m definitely warming up to the movie. I believe it will get better with more viewings.

Info Wanted: Replacing Jar Jar in Episode II
Time

MalàStrana said:

Even if I think Lucas was trolling everyone with Jar Jar breaking the fourth wall and later igniting the long awaited clone wars, we can still assume that in the 10 years following TPM he became more competent; it just needs to remove his awkwardness all along in the process (like all fanedit do). But I also wish it was another character to replace him… a young Tarkin who later joins the military during the clone wars for example.

I believe that was the plan. He’d speak like a regular person because he’d have evolved/matured, but George thought that it’d be a bit too hard to take this huge change and leap forward. And we’d theoretically have had a lot more of him in AotC, but because of the negative TPM reaction, he was cut down.
