[THE GERBILS WERE ARRESTED FOR INDECENCY]

Just in time for Halloween:

Also curious what happened to Vader’s red sabre. Did Luke retrieve it before Death Star II blew up?

It fell into a black hole and was transported to a galaxy even farther away. There it was found by a civilization of machine entities, who gave it intelligence and built for it a new machine body. It then took to roaming the universe, in search of its creator.

UT!

Does Vader’s redemption make more sense in the UT?

My main issue with season 2 is a lack of focus. Everyone was doing their own thing in season 1, too, but from the start we knew that all of their stories revolved around Will’s disappearance, whether the characters were aware or not, which made it very satisfying when it all came together and no one’s story felt like filler or wasted.

In season 2, everyone has their own story again, but it’s not clear what any of them have to do with the main thrust of the season until the end, and even then some of it feels contrived. In particular, Eleven’s story (especially episode 7) felt very disconnected from everything else, and the way she comes back into the fray for the finale felt a little too “deus ex machina” for me.

Yeah, that’s certainly an issue. Stranger Things 2 feels more like Stranger Things 1.5; it’s more concerned with tying up the first season’s loose ends than continuing its story.

Also, fuck Nancy and Jonathan. They’re both shitty people and they deserve each other. Steve is the best.

Thought Steve was a prick in the first season, but he’s redeemed himself. NanJo are about as charismatic as used flypaper; their characters need to go.

I take it back because now I can’t read the thread and my OCD is trying to make me read it.

Now you know how I feel about the politics thread.

The HS isn’t even a film.

IMDb considers it a film. Rotten Tomatoes considers it a film. Wikipedia considers it a film.

It’s a film.

I consider all four of you wrong.

No time to discuss this in committee.

That’s good. You’ve taken your first step into a larger world.

Want to discuss anything and everything pertaining to Stranger Things? You can right here, right now.

And all this time I thought the Soviets had nothing of value to offer the world. . . .

Everything’s coming up Thrillho

I don’t think I like Spacey anymore.

To be fair, I wouldn’t expect anything but Terrible Cover Art from a (presumably) Terrible DVD or Blu-ray.

I caught the last few minutes of this movie of TV decades ago.

Sadly, I can neither affirm nor deny its terriblificness.

I see nothing in the thread title about the films having to be theatrical.

As much as I dislike posts like that, DE has a point. You don’t have to hate Star Wars to agree.

And I don’t even hate Star Wars to begin with. I hate Vader’s characterization and motivation and, by extension, the characterization/motivation of other dark side characters in the series. One can say the SW films are meant to be kid/fantasy/adventure films, etc., but that won’t convince me Darth Göring deserves to go to Jedi Heaven for liking his kid.

TV special. TV movie. It’s all semantics.

TV’s Frink said:

Oh no you don’t. Keep that crap confined to your blog and the semi-whateverthethreadinofftopiciscalled thread.

You can prevent future events like these from happening in the future if you re-word the thread title a bit to explicitly ban them.

We can.

How about a Stranger Things thread?

Also, Make Mace Windu into more of an obvious antagonist for the rest of the films. He’d represent the most strict and repressive interpretations of the Jedi ways, a clearer sign of how far the Jedi had fallen by the era of the Prequels.

I thought he already did. 😛

“You’re travelling through another dimension. A dimension not of substance but of spectacle.”

“You’re moving into a land where people are life-size Krusty dolls with GOOD/EVIL switches in their backs.”

“Where a mass-murdering war criminal can go to Heaven if he has a little paternal instinct.”

“Your next stop: the Star Wars Universe.”

“Your argument is invalid” is a tongue-in-cheek remark that is never given as a serious response to anything. If I were seriously disregarding mfm’s opinion, I would’ve pulled an impscum.

Suffice to say, I was venting more than anything. I wish I had never become a SW fan; then perhaps I wouldn’t have wasted nine years of my life with a prequel re-write few people will read and even fewer will ever care about, nine years trying to shape a universe of teddy bear picnics into something more meaningful to me.
