It has great dialog, set design, and character development, but no substance and so many breaks in logical story telling that it is only the homages to the OT and the great characters that make it watchable.
And the only way the PT is watchable is with the help of illicit substances.

Have you read the first part of my post? You are being ignorant racist again. Japanese and Chinese is completely different and their English accents are naturally different.
Presumptuous? Maybe, but racist? No.
imperialscum said:
As for Nomodians resembling Japanese, I have been living/working in Japan and I speak Japanese and I have never seen any resemblence.
It’s not even the looks; it’s the damn voice. It’s almost like George was told the voice actor to purposefully mock a Japanese or Chinese accent.

No excessive profanity.
Pretty sure that means like 4 swears in a sentence or in a row. Which is something I’ve never done on here.
Mary sue you ?
Gary flew too?
Another one

I’m referring to the constant profanity and the insults.

I already did. You’re just being willfully ignorant.
Calling someone willfully ignorant shouldn’t be any more an insult than calling someone a bigot. Ignorance is fine but if you’re choosing to be ignorant you should be criticized for it. And getting into the whole Lucas’ nutsack thing would be redundant at this point.
As for the profanity that’s just part of who I am and I won’t apologize for it. Especially when someone is defending something I deem morally reprehensible. So fucking sue me.
But those are references put in by the creators of the show. That probably doesn’t have much to do with the fanbase.

This kind of commentary belongs on Youtube. This is what makes General Star Wars Discussion not even worth clicking on.
Other than the Lucas’ nutsack thing I strongly disagree. We all know what that accent sounds like so for him to be willfully ignorant, play coy and to ask for an example of something he already knows about is redundant and you know it. Shit like that is actually what goes on in sites like 4chan.
I’m surprised you of all people would defend that.

Unless you have some record, you are just making it up.
Try mentioning EU/nuEU characters names here or on TheForce.net (or pretty much anywhere else on the internet that is dedicated to the EU) and you’ll get the internet equivalent of blank stares. You don’t need a study for that; just simple observation.

edit: but with second thoughts, Portman and Christensen are way better looking than Fisher and Hamill, so… wouldn’t be new in SW.
In Hammill’s defense he did get into a car accident right before shooting ESB.

Please find a video of Asians talking that way. You have 89 years of film and television to choose from. And Asian is so specific. Are they speaking with a Chinese, Mongolian, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Cambodian, or Indonesian accent? The answer is none of those and also not like any white person in yellow face faking an accent. Their accent is unique and unspecific. The closest I have heard was Reggie Nalder (and Austrian who played the Andorian Ambassador in Journey to Babel). But it is not Asian.
Comparing the SW fanbase to the My Little Pony is extremely insulting - never do it again please.
I wish I didn’t have to but even before the release of TFA and people were bitching about Finn being a Black Storm Trooper I knew we were officially a shit tier fandom.
That being said really hardcore SW fans are often shit, though I think that would apply to most fanbases.
Well there are a lot of us so it seems much much worse. But I digress I think most of the turd balls on our side of the fence or kids, teenagers are 30+ year old kissless virgins.
SW is so universally beloved that you won’t often find people blindly overrating or criticizing the films.
Like on the street? Absolutely. But on the internet now a days all most of what you’ll hear is bitching.
Smithers said:
there are many stupid SW fans but those fanbases are 100% made up of 9 year olds and 30 year old neckbeards.
Well replace 9 year olds with overly opinionated and pompous teenie boppers/young adults and 30-40 year old neckbeards and you easily have 40 percent of our fanbase which is a huge number of people.
or how fucked up the MLP fanbase is
Yeah, bronies (along with Furries) have issues…like serious issues.
At least they produce top tier cringe material.
It would be hysterical if it all sounded about the same
Truth has no language barrier 😉
Even though our fandom can be shite at times at least 4/7 of the movies are great (imo) and that’s all that matters at the end of the day.
That said, I’m going to have to keep my opinion on the Neimoidians with the guy that lived in Japan for 10 years.
You mean the guy who said they have Japanese accents?
…this whole thing is ridiculously funny

…We truly are the most pathetic fanbase in the world.
We’re definitely in the MLP, Minecraft, Breaking Bad and FNAF spectrum. Only difference being is that there are a lot more of us than them.
Dek Rollins said:
Thank you.
Was it really necessary to have me post examples of shit you already know about?
Seems kind of childish to me but what do I know?
Quite a stupid argument had ensued, but it’s all good now. I think we’ve cooled off. Opinions are opinions, and when all I’m asking for is a specific reference and the opposing won’t provide it, what can I do but continue asking for it or just give up? 😉

Since for whatever reason you don’t see it yourself: https://youtu.be/XIfkGaOSwQ4?t=5m38s
It’s so overt that George’s intent doesn’t even begin to compensate for how racist this shit is.
That’s because you weren’t producing evidence. Merely saying that it’s obvious isn’t evidence, plain and simple.
Why should I have to provide proof of something everyone knows? Should I have to prove 2+2=4? Everyone knows that too.
That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m asking you to provide an example of an accent that is comparable to the Neimoidians accents for me to listen to and examine. If you continue to just say “It’s obvious”, I’m not going to consider agreeing with you about the subject.
We all know what a stereotypical Asian accent sounds like so stop it.
moviefreakedmind said:
What is that supposed to mean?
It means that doing a back and forth would be an act in futility because even if you show empirical evidence as to what you’re talking about he’ll just deny it or say that you’re not providing an actual argument.
They have a strong Asian accent which is self evident. In an earlier post I also said they were timid which some media that shows a stereotypical Asian man shows them being timid along with the heavy accent.
Why are we even talking about this?
I already did. You’re just being willfully ignorant.
Watch South Park dude…I mean you should know what a stereotypical Asian accent sounds like man. Everyone does so you’re only delaying the inevitable
