The Clone Wars messes up continuity or how Lucas is still destroying star wars.

The issue is Ahsoka. I like her, but Vader’s line, “when I left you I was a learner, now I am the Master,” indicates Vader was never a Jedi Master as Anakin.

Or a full knight for that matter. Just another bit of OT continuity Lucas either forgot or ignored when writing the prequels.

Going on youtube and seeing what crap comes up.

That reminds me. Mr. Beast has such a slappable face.

Same. I liked his old content better. Remember “Worst Intros”?

Never watched a single one of his videos. I only know him from the thumbnails YouTube persistently shoves in my face when I’m not signed in.

Great movies you hate.

FYI, if you can’t appreciate Surrealist filmmaking, you’re not going to be able to appreciate more than a handful of Lynch’s films. A Straight Story, The Elephant Man, and Blue Velvet are his most accessible, general audience-friendly films.

While I love Lynch, Mulholland Drive has always left me cold. It started life as a pilot for a TV series until plans for the series fell through, leaving Lynch to reconfigure it into a feature film, and I think it shows, with subplots that you could imagine gradually unfolding across multiple episodes just going nowhere in the final product.

Also, The Last Command I thought they kind of dropped the ball with the story. The whole Luke having an evil clone plot point (and that they got the DNA from his severed hand) I thought was pretty stupid. Especially the fact they named him Luuke. That was dumb.

Ah… the weirdness of 90’s EU.

Doesn’t hold a candle to the weirdness of '80s EU.

Jeez

Not gonna lie. I want Rule 34 artists to discover this thing and pair it with the Sarlacc. Obscene Jar Jar pron can only take me so far into hysterics.

The thing is Force Awakens and Last Jedi are far from perfect but the third film should have been where they should have stuck the landing. Instead they made a film worse than Return of the Jedi. I like Rey more as the adopted niece and a nobody than a Palpatine. Finn isn’t the only character they failed they also just about erased Rose. I mean i get it its Rey’s story and Finn and Rose are supporting roles, but they got even worse than Han and Leia did in ROTJ.

The third one introduced new characters i very much liked like Zorri Bliss, and Jannah. But in adding more characters it was overstuffed no room for Rose Tico?

most films are worse than Return of the Jedi

Though I dislike ROTJ, you’re not wrong.

I’m still here wishing that we’d gotten the complete misunderstanding that was Jodorowsky’s Dune. As insulting an adaptation as it would have been, it still would’ve made for a fascinatingly strange experience.

It would have most certainly been a beautiful mess of a movie, but I disagree with Jodorowsky’s plan to make it 14 hours long.

I often wonder about this “14 hours” bit. From the documentary, I got the sense that Jodorowsky was making a statement of artistic freedom, saying hypothetically that if it was his desire to make his film 14 hours long, he should have the right to make it 14 hours long, even if it wasn’t his actual intent for it to be that long. But then Frank Herbert himself supposedly received a copy of Jodorowsky’s screenplay, and it was as thick as a phone book, so I dunno what to believe.
