oh yes, great idea. just when people that don’t hate the PT start not being afraid of saying it here, why not go back to being intolerable? such a clever and funny move.

Yeah alright keep your shirt on.

I recently had an argument about the opening space battle of Episode 3.

Basically, everyone thought I was an idiot for preferring the Battle of Yavin to the videogame lightshow in episode 3 where you can’t even tell what is going on.

What was going on in that battle? There was like a gag with the buzz droids and something about clone troopers being blasted. But outside the rescue mission what was the battle in aid of? All I remember is that it looked like a big pink and orange fireworks show and the battle droid voices had been changed to make them more high pitched, which is just utterly stupid.

At the time it seemed to be fine, as was the case for the other prequels until you really thought about them hard enough. I still have the Art of EPIII here somewhere. I didn’t have that immediate angry knee jerk reaction. A lot of work went into these things. Shame it was mostly wasted.

The Last Jedi: Official Review and Opinions Thread ** SPOILERS **
Time

I watched this video from Wisecrack the other day by Jared Bauer regarding “what went wrong” with The Last Jedi. After Hal posted it on his TLJ Edit thread I decided to comment on it. I felt like I should post it here instead because I didn’t want to start a discussion not directly related to his edit on that thread. Hope you guys don’t mind.

I saw that video a few days ago. It makes a few good points that go beyond the clickbait title, but I think they ignore a few things. The third act doesn’t “undo” the message of the first two. It just re-evaluates it. Good and evil are necessary in the end, since grey areas lead to DJ being a scumbag. Killing the past is bad despite Luke’s best intentions, since learning is always needed. Kylo is wrong, because he can’t understand this. Yes the eternal conflict will go on forever, but making everyone a grey morally baseless character doesn’t work in a story where wars are inevitable. The Jedi Order failed not because it was “too good” but because it was dumb and blind.

My headcanon has long been that the slaughter was just a dream sequence that George accidentally edited as if it really happened. This makes sense of Padme treating it exactly as she would a bad dream.

Nah it’s George thinking… hmm what would a bad person do? And then child killing becomes his only character trait besides whining all the time.

Your characterization of his thought process is…kind of outrageous

If you’re joking imagine a Han Solo laughing gif here.

If you’re not joking also imagine I posted one.
