Haven’t seen that gem in awhile. O did, however, recently see this:

I’d thrill to hear it on a mall P.A. system on a loop in the final days of holiday shopping.

Now that Disney is assimilating Fox, a POTA musical will probably happen for real.

at which point he suddenly becomes a retard.

Oh fuck off already.

Before I just disagreed with your opinion on a film. Now I think you’re an asshole too.

How do you keep avoiding moderator warnings with all fights you start

Go ask them, but maybe it’s partly because I don’t use “retard” as an insult?

I have to admit, that’s a pretty weak defense.

“Retard” as an insult is offensive, but “asshole” is not. Telling people to “fuck off” is not, as being belligerent is also not.
Umm… okay.

Your objection is noted.

Using “retard” as an insult makes you an asshole. Sorry.

I see. Calling someone dumb is also insulting. If I call Snoke a dumb character would that also be passing those high and mightly standards of yours? How about Snoke is ugly? Is that an insult, which makes me an asshole, or simply the truth?

I think insulting a fictional character is not really on the same level of dickery as insulting real people, but hey that’s me. Anyways, I will avoid the r-word with regards to fictional characters from now on, as it seems to be inflammatory to some.

Frink loves being outraged. Best to just ignore him.

I’m somewhat pissed off myself right now.

I wish he would’ve at least “died” during an actual duel, Obi-Wan style. I always thought we’d maybe see him go Somewhat Saiyan on the Knights of Ren… if those guys even exist?

Except you’re totally missing the whole point of the scene of him dying/giving into the Force/whatever. If he pulled an Obi-Wan, I can almost guarantee you would be screeching autistically about how they ripped off ANH

Autism wisecracks are not going to fly around here either. Consider yourself warned.

This thread is somehow even worse than the other “Mark Hamill is sick!” thread.

I’m guessing the video was selectively edited by a woman though, right?

Clip is still a better edit then some “ridicilous” edits… which is not a hard thing to do when someone lacks humor 😉

Kindly refrain from thinly veiled personal attacks.

Rescued a princess, helped deliver the DS plans to the rebels. He did blow up the first Death Star. Got a medal for it too. If he never did another thing after that, he would be a legend.

The shield generator mission might have not succeeded without Han being there, or Luke making the Ewoks into allies.

I’m sure 30 years on, the stories about Luke have been retold over and over to the point that they only bear passing resemblance to what actually happened.

Yeah, but I’m talking specifically about ROTJ’s climax. The whole build-up throughout the OT was about Luke being the last hope, the only hope, not abandoning his training, not giving in to the quick and easy path etc etc etc. “Only a fully trained Jedi Knight will conquer Vader and his Emperor”. Even Lucas said that Luke’s actions on Death Star II led to the Emperor’s defeat and saving the universe. But that’s just not true. Luke was irrelevant at that point.

I just wish that Luke had actually been the one to ultimately save the galaxy. Like I said, at best you could claim that he inadvertently prevented the Emperor’s escape - but that wasn’t his intention. He merely threw his weapon aside and proclaimed “I am a Jedi!”. Meanwhile people were fighting and dying outside. Recruiting the Ewoks doesn’t really seem to justify Obi/Yoda’s 20-year wait and consequent focus over 3 movies.

One can argue Luke diverted the Emperor from supervising the battle more closely. And nobody but the Ewoks knew about the back door to the shield generator did they?
