8.Attack of the CGI
7.The Force Awakens
(Leaps and bounds better)
6.Rogue One
5.Revenge of the Sith
(Here it comes)
4.A New Hope
3.The Phantom Menace
2.Return of the Jedi
1.The Empire Strikes Back

I’m more wondering why you started with your least favorite movie. Generally these lists start at 1.

Revenge of the Sith (The New Canon Cut) [ON HOLD INDEFINITELY]

  • Less questions being asked in most situations. Portrays confidence, and intelligence. (He catches on to Palpatine quicker without one question; he moves ahead of him suspicious and the next thing he says in the scene is “You’re the Sith Lord!”)

How quickly does he catch on?

The original script goes something like this;


PALPATINE: It is upsetting to me to see that the Council doesn’t seem to fully appreciate your talents. Don’t you wonder why they won’t make you a Jedi Master?

ANAKIN: I wish I knew. More and more I get the feeling that I am being excluded from the Council. I know there are things about the Force that they are not telling me.

PALPATINE: They don’t trust you, Anakin. They see your future. They know your power will be too strong to control. Anakin, you must break through the fog of lies the Jedi have created around you. Let me help you to know the subtleties of the Force.

They walk into the hallway.

ANAKIN: How do you know the ways of the Force?

PALPATINE: My mentor taught me everything about the Force . . . even the nature of the dark side.

They stop.

ANAKIN: You know the dark side?!?

PALPATINE: Anakin, if one is to understand the great mystery, one must study all its aspects, not just the dogmatic, narrow view of the Jedi. If you wish to become a complete and wise leader, you must embrace a larger view of the Force. Be careful of the Jedi, Anakin. (pausing) They fear you. In time they will destroy you. Let me train you.

ANAKIN: I won’t be a pawn in your political game. The Jedi are my family.

PALPATINE: Only through me can you achieve a power greater than any Jedi. Learn to know the dark side of the Force, Anakin, and you will be able to save your wife from certain death.

ANAKIN: What did you say?

PALPATINE: Use my knowledge, I beg you . . .

ANAKIN: You’re a Sith Lord!

ANAKIN ignites his lightsaber.


Personally, I would cut everything in between Palpatine revealing he knows the Dark Side and Anakin realizing that he’s the Sith Lord, so it would play out like this;


PALPATINE: It is upsetting to me to see that the Council doesn’t seem to fully appreciate your talents. Don’t you wonder why they won’t make you a Jedi Master?

ANAKIN: I wish I knew. More and more I get the feeling that I am being excluded from the Council. I know there are things about the Force that they are not telling me.

PALPATINE: They don’t trust you, Anakin. They see your future. They know your power will be too strong to control. Anakin, you must break through the fog of lies the Jedi have created around you. Let me help you to know the subtleties of the Force.

They walk into the hallway.

ANAKIN: How do you know the ways of the Force?

PALPATINE: My mentor taught me everything about the Force . . . even the nature of the dark side.

They stop.

ANAKIN: You’re a Sith Lord!

ANAKIN ignites his lightsaber.


I know that Hal just cuts out Palpatine’s line between “what did you say” and “you’re the Sith Lord!” Do you handle it the same way?

I said nothing in the Drugs thread about being pro-Drugs. In fact I said I’d never so much as smoked a cigarette.

I never said you did. You’ll have to go back and read again.

Your friend created a thread advocating drug use, on a Star Wars forum, that you know, might not be a good idea for this place. I know I wouldn’t want my kids coming on here to read about Star Wars, and then stumbling into a thread where a few morons are telling people to use drugs.

Is believing in ghost tied to believing in certain religions? I remember overhearing from someone when I was in community college that you shouldn’t fear ghost and the like unless you believe in certain religions. I myself am afraid of ghost or seeing a ghost, but I don’t practice or read up on my religion since my youth.

Not necessarily, no. I think anyone can believe in ghosts, regardless of their religion (unless their religion specifically states that ghosts aren’t real).

Great post. If someone gave me a magic wand and said I could “cure” my daughter today, I wouldn’t do it, because she’d no longer be the girl I love, she’d be someone different.

Another is, why wouldn’t she be the girl you love?

I think it influences my personality a lot. Being “cured” would be taking a part of me out, it would figuratively make me a different person.

No offense, but are you saying you have autism?

None taken, and yes.

I see multiple problems with that approach. One is, should you have the right decide she shouldn’t have “the cure” if one existed? What if she would want to be cured?

That’s really up to the person. I know I wouldn’t want to be cured if the option was available, and that’s because…

But here is the problem. If I am understanding autism at all, in order to truly cure iy, it would have to be done sometime early in brain development, way before she was 18 and could decide for herself. This brings up yet another issue. Are people with autism capable of making their own decisions? We are talking about a problem with the mind here. What if “curing” your daughter were the only way to bring her to a state of mind where she could make her own decisions?

Autism doesn’t render someone incapable of making their own decisions, it’s a spectrum. There are many autistic people smarter than you or I who are more than capable of making decisions.

The worst Batman game ever

Spuffure said:

It’s great to hear your opinion on the other games, but please focus more on the atari game.

That’s the point of the thread? That wasn’t made very clear at all. I assumed this was a thread about which Batman game, out of all the Batman games, was the worst; a little specific, but a topic that could foster some interesting discussions. What I’m getting from you now is that this thread is meant to discuss only the obscure Atari game, is that correct?

If your medication isn’t working then I doubt that more of it will help you. Also, have you considered disconnecting your internet if you can?

It’s 2017. I need the Internet day-to-day.

Yeah, having internet is pretty much a necessity these days.

I haven’t been following your situation too closely, but perhaps you could find some browser extension that blocks content out? Or maybe you could have a friend set up an internet filter and put a password on it so you can’t turn it off?
