I very much loved it when in TLJ Rey’s parentage is stated to be inconsequential.

Why the fuck did Rey have to be the long lost descendant of a previously established character? Why can’t she simply be Rey Nobody from Nowhere?

I completely agree and I resent J.J. for making that such a ridiculous mystery in TFA (before he retroactively tried to explain it badly). Doesn’t anyone remember the Jedi use to go around the galaxy adopting force sensitive children from parents who were not force sensitive or Jedi at all? It just would have been better storytelling to suggest the Force randomly taps individuals. Keep it “mysterious”.

hey guys i finish andor it is soo good the best thing that Disney made with star wars and it is the best sw show

👌👌

Still, if someone wants to have a bleak rant…let em. Sorry just because you don’t like it means you should call people out and persuade them to stop commenting. Not everything is built for some expanding discussion, just a comment. And like I’ve said if anyone gets “sick of” certain posting on this site…then you have other forum options. I’ve been on this forum since 2004 and only recently has there been this
labeling people “negative Nancy’s” because their Kenobi gushing got challenged or whatever.

I ignore plenty of posts in here that make my eyes roll…I suggest this practice. Ignore it.

yeah i watched 5 episodes of this show and did not liked not because was bad or lame or poor made it just because i think is boring and andor is a bland for me just like rogue one good story bland characters

Bland? Far from it…these characters are written deeper than any SW characters yet in live action. But if your bored because no Jedi or mindless action with lightsabers? Yeah you’re gonna have a rough time.

I know I say this too much, but if you’re really that done with Star Wars… why are you still here? It’s pointless to come into these threads every week just to complain about how Star Wars is dead to you, and Disney are a bunch of hacks, and you just don’t care anymore. If you really don’t care, just move on. Find something you actually like.

People still talk about it because it’s fun to talk about stuff

But I can’t imagine it’s fun to talk about something that only causes you pain at this point, and that’s the way a lot of the people I was addressing there seem to react to Star Wars. I’ve said my peace, though.

Wow you just described Therapy and why people need to talk about things. Imagine that…

I use to be frequent on the “jedi council forum” years ago. Then a time came where you couldn’t criticize a single thing without being told you were “negative”. Now all the moderators and most members just gush over any little thing in every bit of SW media. But I didn’t make a post telling them all they were bullies for not respecting my opinion…I didn’t patronize them and demand them to be all accepting of my comments…I just left.

It’s just an internet forum, all sorts of folks with all sorts of perspectives. If you find yourself arguing alot on one then just stop, find a forum that suits your sensibilities with SW, whether you’re too sensitive or not. If you can’t stand the heat…ya know.

That sucks so much. Been a fan of his since he was Titus Pulo in Rome. It’ll be bittersweet seeing his performance in Ahsoka.

The Prequels are awesome because they’re stylistically designed to be that way.

The Prequels are good because they quote shots better movies.

it’s hard for me to explain, so this video explains it for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqnjzVX8EKA

Rick Worley?

You must be trolling? Or you would not have posted that the video was by him, and without saying it was by Rick Worley?

C;mon, your first post on an OT discussion forum is link to a video by Rick Worley

I’m not going to speak for the others, but I am commenting on the fact a “new” member’s first and only post on here is that to link to a video, by Rick Worley, and say nothing else.

In a discussion thread about the Prequels. To register and join here and just post a video. And that is it, because they cannot or will not discuss their own opinions. Again, in a discussion thread. That seems spamming, shilling or trolling for Rick Worley to me.

I think it is fair comment by myself. If you disagree, then fine.
 

Can I be honest? Can I be truly, brutally honest?

The attitude of many members of this forum towards those who defend the Prequel Trilogy is reprehensible in my opinion. Okay, this is an OT discussion forum. So what? Does that mean that one can’t be free to defend the Prequel Trilogy? Does that mean that one must only talk badly about those movies? I myself have been the subject of similar criticism in the past, and even though I didn’t say it openly, I was very annoyed by this. Just because I said that the dialogue isn’t as bad as everyone says, I was treated with condescension, and it was very annoying for me.

You all should stop acting like you have absolute truth, because it can be very irritating. Don’t get me wrong, to discuss and criticize other people’s arguments is absolutely okay. But to act like “Yeah bro, sure, you can continue to carry out your wrong opinions, but the rest of us, who are all superior, will continue to say things as they are” is very irritating.

You claim to be a friendly forum where everyone can express their opinions freely, and you even boast to have numerous Prequel fans on here. But paradoxically, every time that a Prequel fan who actually tries to defend the movies pops up, he gets overwhelmed with criticism and condescending, or he’s even accused of being a troll solely because he says things that are different from the common thought on here. It happened to me, it happened to Stardust1138, it happened to other people, and it’s going to happen over and over again, because this place has become an echo chamber.

I suggest you all to grow up and learn to respect other people’s opinions.

I would look up the history of this forum, and respect that history, the members on here, and their point of view based from this. If you choose to be on here as a Prequel fan, then expect to read criticism of them, of George’s choices and actions, the changes made to the OT to make them fit in with the Prequels, the suppression of the OOT, and so on.

Yes, there is “no absolute truth”, just members’ opinions. It is not an “echo chamber” on here, yet it is different from many other websites online, because it is mainly from the point of view of the Original Trilogy. It does not mean that there is no other opinions allowed, but they should be done with “a civility and respect”, according to the About, Help, and Welcome threads, and overall feel of this forum.

That was perfectly put, thank you for doing that. 👏

I hope Mandalorian season 4 goes ahead despite the writers’ strike because I’m curious to see how much worse the writing can actually get.

I think you’d get your wish…writers strike or not.

You would have thought there was a writers strike during season 3…🤔🤔

Oh yeah Ewen also did a line in TROS at the end when she was getting pep talk cameos by a bunch of Jedi right? I can’t watch that thing again to verify 🤷‍♂️.

Mocata said:

You’re thinking about it harder than they did. The TFA voice over Easter Egg and that whole vision scene had no purpose so it’s kind of irrelevant.

Exactly, Abrams was just slinging around random ideas and easter eggs for “neat factor”. Which, as we all know, is all he does. I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that while they were editing TFA Abrams heard Ewen McGregor was nearby and invited him to come take a look at some clips and decided then and there to get him to record a line for the “vision sequence”. Ewen even said he was taken by surprise and had to reremember how to do his Alec Guiness accent. So that just goes to show you how last minute and inconsequential it was.

I mean, there is nothing that their minds will come up with that is so creative and inspiring as to “fix” the ST or the Rey character. Let’s be honest, the best thing that could come from this is for fan editors to make a more palpable “ep.9” to either ignore TROS or take very little from it. 🤷‍♂️ I mean it’s not like Tony Gilroy is writing this…don’t count on them making a home run for the FOURTH attempt in a row…and even if they do, that doesn’t change how sloppy and weak the entire ST is on its own.

Just don’t give obvious A-holes the attention they clamor for…it’s that simple. Keep the conversations to the intelligent minded.

Cameos galore…that’s all we’re ever getting from here on out. Who needs stories and original characters when people freak out on just seeing an animated character in live action?

Can we just…please…stop bringing up personal politics when talking about the quality of SW writing, acting and directing? 🤷‍♂️

Yes, please. If a black character or female character

James1027 said:

Is there any sense of excitement for this movie? I think Disney may be throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks in regards to buzz and merchandise. Ridley’s character and story were not compelling and this movie bombing would sink the franchise. If it isn’t sinking already.

Some people just want “more star warz” and don’t care about the quality whatsoever. Ya know, the ones who are like “there’s been dumb/goofy stuff in SW before so there must continue to be dumb/goofy logic defying sloppy writing”. So they’re excited hah.

I have every bit of confidence in the writing team on Andor to handle the situation. I wish I could say that for any other SW show.

G&G-Fan said:

George Lucas gave us Vader’s laughably pathetic “Nooooooo!”. Disney took that and made it badass.

Ya’ll saying Disney ruined Star Wars, idk what you’re smoking.

“They burned your house down, but washed you’re car, so idk what you’re smoking”

People have a right to voice their opinions on this forum. You may hear something you don’t like…but it’s unnecessary to talk down to them by telling them to “just don’t watch it” and other childish retorts. Just comment on another forum if you don’t like the tone of this one. It’s simple. Stop acting like a victim and maybe take your own advice on “just don’t comment” maybe.

RogueLeader said:

Honestly, season 2 ending works great as a finale to the series too. If you have some other higher quality shows on your watchlist I’d say go check them out instead of this.

Absolutely this. And I honestly loved the two BOBF episodes with solo Mando and Luke with Grogu…but they aren’t necessary really. That’s certainly the point that the quality of the show was halted for good.

Can we just…please…stop bringing up personal politics when talking about the quality of SW writing, acting and directing? 🤷‍♂️

I think cynicism is allowed when there’s already been THREE whole movie attempts to make Rey a good character or not. Why would you not be cynical with them forcing a fourth attempt?

Oh if they couldn’t tell a solid story with THREE WHOLE MOVIES…then why is anyone naive enough to think they’ll get it right the FOURTH time??? C’mon people.

“Fantastic episode! I gasped when I saw Jack and Izzo…I screamed when I saw Christopher Lloyd! How can you not like this show??”

That is what I just read on Facebook. That was all it took to sell this guy. Might as well just blow up paper bags and pop them at this point…new SW fans are just cameo geeks.
