I have many issues, but purely from a prequel sense the scale is all wrong. I imagined more a guerilla battle against great odds. Or a heist gone wrong. Instead it’s an enormous battle that dwarfs the original Death Star assault. What remains is a spectacle that doesn’t lead into the next film in terms of tone or momentum.

Tell you what guys I will make a deal with you, let’s not respond to these insane threads any more. Starting here.
Somehow? I hate to break it to you but in real life history Empires and other kinds of power structures come and go all the time.
The ST is still infinitely better than the PT to me 🤷♂️.
Yeah but that’s not really saying much is it haha

Wait until you see what’s coming. It’s going to blow your mind. That’s all I can say. I can talk it up all I want, because I know it over-delivers. It way over-delivers. People are going to be so pumped when they see it.
This may be true, but surely this is also how he talks about every project?
Yes. And there are some very lengthy spells of WTF in between his handful of good ones.
With some clever writing in part three this could be something I enjoy despite a few very rough patches early on. Sort of like how the wonky Marvel movies lead up to some of the best scenes in the Infinity War plot. But I’m not really sure I can watch any of these again. I just don’t care now the conclusion is just a pathetic brainless product. Star Wars is still just a trilogy for me.
From what’s actually shown in the movies I always assumed Anakin enjoyed being aggressive to win battles. He would have naturally grown impatient with the Jedi teachers and taken the easier path. It’s a far more human response to their doctrine. Instead of all that “I need the secret to preventing death” nonsense. The only part that makes any real sense is his anger against the Tusken Raiders. But it falls down because we don’t ever see how that anger gives him more strength, and there are no repercussions. Where is the fallout or his anger towards Obi-wan and the council for letting this happen, or letting the slave trade continue? What does he learn from the experience, did he enjoy killing or see how rage is a powerful ally? It’s basically forgotten instead of being a genuine part of his character development.
The X-Men travel in a modified (fictional) version of the SR-71. But in this case the Naboo ship design connection also is correct.
If Force Sensitivity was a thing, why does Vader say this so casually? Why would he just kind of note “Hmm, the Force is strong with this one” and not flip shit that you just discovered someone with lots of midichlorians?
Checkmate atheists
At the time it was described as being something anyone could be weak or strong with, but actual training was what mattered. I think Gary Kurtz said it was like being a martial arts master, you gotta practice. Some people/families are stronger than others but it’s always there because all life generates it.
Yeah leaving the ring floating in space always seemed like a dumb idea. Like they wanted to make it retro but not any less functional? On the TIE I think the guy makes great designs and renders… but it doesn’t work for me. I prefer to see the fighter as a tool for ensuring total dependency.
I find that it’s a bad idea to talk about any of this out loud.
Bombs in SW have been dropping in space since 1980
Are they fixing all this jank with his help SE style? Or just making sure he can’t upload their content any more…
Star Wars was a mistake.
Possibly.
I just noticed Jeremy Bulloch is part of the ESB imperial troop, during the scene that he’s also playimg Boba Fett. I think I realised because I’d spotted his For Your Eyes Only cameo recently.
you’re wrong.
Incorrect.
actual continuity
Imagine acting like the ST has so little continuity
Correct.
The difference is that those aren’t soft reboots that force the world and story to retread the same tired ground for the sake of nostalgia, and in fact those examples derive much of their impact from the accomplishments of the prior movies.
They’re also true serials with actual continuity.
There are no astrophysicists in Star Wars.
First did you state a 3D version? Holy Mother… That I would just love to see but how will pull that one off but knowing Disney they will find away of course. However being down here in the southeast where nothing really happens like that. As far as the DC theatre I love to see that i theatre one more haven’t seen it in a theatre since when I was in high school. Something like that should be a blast.
I had no idea 3D was still a thing.
Nerrel has a lot of good videos in general.
If you don’t include ESB then it doesn’t matter. If you do then it’s like a metaphor or a lie. What plot hole? A plot hole would be if Vader still had Anakin’s saber.
Turns out it’s both which is just annoying.
I think Bestine was a town on Tatooine on the way to Mos Eisley. Dantooine was more dry in the old EU but they could change that in post. Either way these locations with Turbo Lasers are pretty cool.
The idea of any sort of “balance” when one side is always evil should have been left out entirely.
