If you had to include one character/location from the PT in the ST

I wouldn’t mind seeing Naboo again. Especially if they can actually make it look like people are living there, unlike the empty cities of the PT.
As long as there’s nothing that makes watching or even knowing about the PT required to understand why we are there or what’s going on, I’m fine with it.

Pretty much this. I can’t think of a character I would want to include from that era…especially Mace Windu. Sorry Sam…

It doesn’t have to be specific.

Why is murder wrong? When is killing right? Are animals entitled to equal rights as people in terms of killing? Are fetuses entitled to equal rights as born humans?

But most important, why?

Murder is a tricky one…killing someone in general with no provocation is the ultimate wrong doing because you’re excreting your will upon that person in the most potent manner. And not only are you ending a person but you are ending what that particular person could have become. But on the flip side I think murder is justified if it’s to save an innocent life or if the law is to inept to put the murderer away.

Is it really wrong? We in the modern world talk as if it is a given, but might not humans be a stronger, better species if we allowed for more natural selection? Survival of the fittest would allow for superior genetics, and we might not be plagued with so many physical and mental illnesses. Humans could utilize their natural aggression to better the species as a whole.

That’s an even trickier way of looking at it but the question what would be this person/s deem as the best genetic template? It has to be something more substantial than Hitler’s view on the perfect group of humans in which anyone who doesn’t have blonde hair blue eyes is automatically inferior. Another question would be is gene manipulation a thing in this hypothetical instance?

Is ending what a person might have been really so bad? We do it all the time when women get abortions, yet it remains legal.

Well at least to me a fetus is not really a person yet. Also let’s not forget that some abortions are for women impregnated by their rapist so in that case I think it’s definitely justified to get an abortion.

Are you advocating for vigilantism? Without the order imposed by society in the legal system, would not society collapse?

Only when the Justice System fails. If anything I would prefer a stronger Legal System over having a bunch of would be Batmen and Dexters out there.

Yes, I contradict myself, but the point is, are you sure you are right?

In my mind I am right but I can definitely see how someone can think I’m full of shit.

Religion

Did I say every religious person was like that? I don’t think I did. I gave 2 examples of the type of people who are supposedly “born” into Religion. And even then those people still have a choice to leave their them. The children can develop critical thinking skills and go on to discover that nothing in the Bible (with the exception of animals and certain places of course) is abundant in the plane of existence we happen to live on. The other group of people can get the same comforting things they get from the Bible in a multitude of other mediums.

Maybe when it comes to things that you can’t choose. Pedophilia excluded.

EDIT:

Also just because some people are psychologically abused by threats of eternal hell fire and/or abandonment when they were kids or only believes in a particular religion because their life would be dismal without it doesn’t mean it’s something they’re born with it. That and sexual orientation are completely different.

Oooooh…I get it. It’s the atheist version of that “Hate the sin, love the sinner” thing. Caughtcha! How progressive!

The difference is that “Love the sinner, hate the sin” is usually referring to homosexuality. In that case, the ‘sin’ is a part of who they are, and something they can’t change. Religion is a belief, that can indeed be changed.

“Your sexuality is inherently sinful and wrong, but it doesn’t change my opinion of you as a person.”

vs

“I hate Christianity, but it doesn’t change my opinion of you as a person.”

People’s religion is often as important to them (if not more so) than their sexuality.

Just because it’s important to them doesn’t mean it’s still not a choice. Especially for those who are adults.

I am an American by birth. I could choose not o identify with the culture, but I’ve come to identify pretty strongly with it. It’s still a strong part of my identity. It fulfills my human needs. Same with my faith. Just because they are not physical characteristics does not mean they are not deeply ingrained, and just because they are not built into my body doesn’t mean one’s prejudice against my religion or nationality isn’t bigotry.

Lord Haseo said:

Some of us don’t hate you (as in Christians) just the Religion itself so that is in no way bigotry. You need to relax.

Unless you are literally a Bible it is not bigotry. I don’t hate you and I don’t hate Christians in general; I just hate the book. Unless you catch me saying that I hate all Christians, that I would never be friends with a Christian or that Christians shouldn’t vote or something along those lines don’t say me hating your religion is bigoted. There are actual people who getting oppressed out here and you acting like this way belittles the genuine struggles people face.

Why can’t Kylo just be evil? lol

Also you should stick with your original act one and then write it from there.

The brainwashing aspect is very logical considering the way he acts and was designed (similar to religious crusader knights)

Ok, I’m kind of confused. Do you mean brainwashed as in convinced to be apart of something to the point of having little to no free will? Or do you mean brainwashed as in mind control?

It’s more like intense emotional and mental manipulation since childhood alongside indoctrination. For example, Ben was taught by Snoke that Darth Vader (not Anakin) was a good person, Snoke alienated Ben from all of his friends so that Snoke would be the closest thing to a friend (Rey was the exception), etc.

I’m fine with that so long as he was actually seduced to the Dark Side like Leia said and not tricked like Anakin was or had his mind dominated like Revan and Malak

The Force Awakens: Official Review Thread - ** SPOILERS **

Even after 7 months, I believe THE FORCE AWAKENS still holds up as one of the best SW films yet. What I wouldn’t give for a theatrical re-release with ROGUE ONE. It was the best cinema going experience I’ve ever had – despite the film being letterboxed and on a tiny screen. Only doing IMAX from here on out with SW films.

Agreed. Maybe we’ll see a theatrical re release of all the films after Episode IX.

Or maybe just before IX comes out…

The ending is still incredible. Curious as to what everyone’s reaction was with the Luke Skywalker reveal? I recall the crowd in the theater being very quiet (and most likely surprised) and not clapping until the credits. All the other returning characters were given a huge reaction.

The ending is exactly what it should have been for the plot that was written. I am not mad that he didn’t speak either because it builds hype for what will be said during Rey and Luke’s first meeting. As if I needed another reason to be hyped up for Episode VIII 😉
