Then I’d ignore them while still recognizing their merits (like TCW).
Sounds reasonable.
I don’t believe you. It’s another trick.
I don’t even get it.
I never get any of DuracellEnergizer’s jokes.
You’ve obviously never had the abyss stare back at you.
I said I want to make a memorable spectacle of myself, not usher in the Tribulation.
Eh, still not liking it, especially the black patterning on the tights. Besides, I prefer Spidey with larger eyes.
I don’t even get it.
It made more sense to me when I was drunk.
The “all the bad guys- and only the bad guys- have red lightsabers” is a prequelism I can do without.
It’s not a prequelism.
Yes, it is. Or are there other darksiders in the OT with red lightsabers aside from Vader I’m unaware of?
Just because there weren’t any others doesn’t change the fact that it was used to portray evil and to contrast with the good, portrayed by blue.
This isn’t in dispute. However, just because red=bad/blue=good in the OT doesn’t mean that red=bad/good=bad has to be applied universally to every Force-wielder in every SW movie.
If there was another evil lightsaber-wielder in the OT, he would have had a red blade to keep the feel.
Probably. Since it never happened, though, the point’s moot.
The reason Darth had a red saber in Star Wars was to create the simple contrast of good and evil, just like everything else in the film.
That’s an out of universe reason. There’s no reason to think it’s an in-universe reason going off the OT alone.
Why does it matter if there’s a specific in-universe explanation for it? It’s a specific aesthetic that was used to portray something in the film(s). I never said there was an in-universe reason, I just don’t think something such as this needs one.
I care about variety – variety in fictional characters, variety in how they’re characterized, variety in their physical appearance, variety in their dress, etc. I like heroes like Superman and villains like Leatherface, but I also like heroes like Quasimodo and villains like Prince Humperdinck; variety is the spice of life, after all.
At this point, there’s little variety in the heroes/villains of the SW franchise – especially the villains – and I’m bored with the monotony.

I want to pull off a big stunt – a huge public spectacle which would draw the attention of the public and the media and put my name in the newspapers and TV. I want to make a complete and utter fool of myself, but in such a way that will convince everyone that I’m an artistic genius, not just a madman.
If only I knew how … if only I knew how …

Seriously, why can’t they just go with the original costume – and I mean the ORIGINAL – red and black with a blue spider on the back?
That would be a cool aesthetic – better than some Halloween costume with dinky eyes and unnecessary extra red/blue trim.
I’ve already got my personal canon, so I don’t particularily care for a PT reboot. It’d just end up being a second set of prequels I’d end up ignoring.
Of course, I’d still like Disney to release an official statement declaring the PT apocryphal.
He also doesn’t look very much like something from Star Wars.
That’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it, but I don’t agree in the slightest.

Yes, 'cause a blue/green lightsaber and a blue/green lightsaber alone would be all it would take to make a bad guy indistinquishable from a good guy. Things like body language, vocal inflection, general attitude and the actions they partake in – those things don’t matter once goddamn iota.
Oh, but I forgot – only little children under the age of five watch SW movies.
[JEDIT]
Oh, this guy is just oh so warm, friendly, and inviting,
Well, it’s their own fault for not going for the reparative therapy when they had the chance.
*cue multiple BOOs over crass joke*
I skimmed through it.
Meh.
-Kylo’s saber ought to be a different color, to eliminate the “bad guise use red” cliche.
No. We’re trying to make a good SW film, not some fan-fiction.
I just saw the new Ghostbusters trailer… Yikes
I’m not even going to go that far with this movie.
Because forced sodomy involving a lightsaber is funny?
I don’t recall “funny” being anywhere in the thread title. 😛
Don’t we already have at least two of these threads already in progress?
Kylo Ren, while his story is very similar to Darth Vader’s, is one of the greatest villains of all time and the best Star Wars villain.
Urge to drink … rising.
^Lamest rules ever.
Seriously, what films do you give A+ to?
Well, since adopting the letter rating system, I’ve given these films an A+:
12:01 PM (1990)
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)
Army of Darkness (1992)
The Aviator (2004)
The Big Lebowski (1998)
Black Angel (1980)
Blancanieves (2012)
The Blue Lagoon (1980)
The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Groundhog Day (1993)
Jurassic Park (1993)
The Kid (1921)
Mississippi Burning (1988)
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975)
Ray (2004)
The Road (2009)
The Ruling Class (1972)
Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989)
Taxi Driver (1976)
What Dreams May Come (1998)
Of course, there are a helluva lot more movies I’ve seen over the years which I’d rate an A+. I haven’t watched any of them since before I abandoned the 1-10 rating system, though, so I don’t know with any certainty where they’d fall along the new spectrum.

Well, as long as they aren’t zombies …
