Tales of the Jedi looking too much Original Trilogy, in a way, and not ancient.
I don’t think we read the same comic. The aesthetic of TOTJ is completely dissimilar to the OT aesthetic.
But perhaps you meant to say KOTOR and just got the two confused?
Sort of KOTOR too but that’d be for the other thread since I love both games, on PC you see.
I was talking about the KOTOR comic series. I’m not a gamer, so I have no personal experience with the games.
I got the first Jurassic Park movie on DVD on my 5th birthday
Ahhh, the “I feel old” sensation I’ve heard so much about. So that’s what it feels like.

I don’t support “Birdemic: Shock and Terror” (2010). How can anybody like its poor special effects, wooden acting, and nonsensical plot.
Ironically?
Luke: His black Jedi duds early in ROTJ, tunic, cloak, and all. I’d go with the ceremony outfit at the end of SW, but I’m not a fan of the jacket.
Leia: My head says ceremony dress, my other head says metal bikini. I’ll let my superego trump my id this one time.
Han: Any/or.
I used to think the Marvel supervillain Hate-Monger was over the top.
Then I remembered the Black Legion was a thing IRL.
For me, the issue is less the lightsaber and more the fact that Luke expressed his wish to become a Jedi like his father, and the only mentor (supposedly) who could make that happen is dead by the end of the movie. That, along with the survival of Vader and the Emperor, are the two biggest reasons why the movie needed a sequel, in my opinion.
The emperor is inconsequential in the original movie. And with the novelization taken into account, he’s only the latest in a line of impotent figureheads, anyway.
Gonna have to say Mystery Science Theater 3000. It’s mostly a '90s show, but it’s still the only show that began in the '80s I really consider a favourite. Garfield and Friends is perhaps a distant second.
Guns have been known to jam. From time-to-time.
I’ve always been fond of this quote from Errico Malatesta, an anarchist*:
“Violence (physical force) used to another’s hurt, which is the most brutal form of struggle between men can assume, is eminently corrupting. It tends, by its very nature, to suffocate the best sentiments of man, and to develop all the antisocial qualities, ferocity, hatred, revenge, the spirit of domination and tyranny, contempt of the weak, servility towards the strong. And this harmful tendency arises also when violence is used for a good end. […] Anarchists who rebel against every sort of oppression and struggle for the integral liberty of each and who ought thus to shrink instinctively from all acts of violence which cease to be mere resistance to oppression and become oppressive in their turn are also liable to fall into the abyss of brutal force. […] The excitement caused by some recent explosions and the admiration for the courage with which the bomb-throwers faced death, suffices to cause many anarchists to forget their program, and to enter on a path which is the most absolute negation of all anarchist ideas and sentiments.”

*Equating anarchism with chaos always triggers me. But I can’t fault the noob for that.
It’s always hard bearing the time with a pet as it passes on. I feel for you. I really do.
FWIW, Sparky, I think your take’s a novel spin on the “Lucas PT, but Deconstructed™”.
Confirmed unabashed pygophile here.
Sequel Trilogy is non-canon. It’s all a fever dream. ALL THE MADNESS.
Not unpopular.
I love instrumental synthwave music, but most of the stuff with vocals is tepid pop pap. I don’t understand how anyone likes it.
And if I’ll eventually lose everything one way or another and suffer, wouldn’t it be best if we didn’t exist at all?
I used to feel that way. Then I stumbled upon Simone Weil’s article while browsing Wikipedia.
Obi Wan tells to Luke in ROTJ that if Palpatine found out that Anakin had children they would be a threat to him but in ROTS Palpatine knows that Anakin is married to Padme and he will even try to help Anakin in the OT sounds like Palpatine wouldnt approve of Anakin being in a Romantic Relationship
Was Palps even aware of Padme’s pregnancy? Been a while since I last watched that video game, so I genuinely don’t remember.
For example: if you don’t like the Sequels, then there is the EU; if you don’t like either of them, then there are a lot of fanfictions that can replace both. If you don’t like the Prequels, then there are a lot of fanfictions and rewrites out there, or maybe you can create something on your own; if you like the ideas but not the execution, then there are the novelizations. If you don’t like TCW, then there is the Multimedia Project; if you don’t like either of them, then there are a lot of fanfictions that can replace both. If you like the EU but not the current Canon, then just ignore the current Canon, just pretend it doesn’t exist; if you don’t like either of them, then again, there are a lot of fanfictions that can replace both.
But what if you don’t like fanfiction? 😛
I kind of dig the design.
I just looked into it a bit more and I find it so funny that the EU kept trying to insist the guy was not training Yoda on Dagobah. One retcon tried to claim it was just another swamp planet.
Yeah, and for what? ‘Cause Lucas really didn’t want Yoda to have been to Dagobah prior to the events of ROTS. Nevermind that the film never states as such; Lucas’ authorial intent is sacrosanct (except when it comes to the existence of Sith post-ROTJ. lawl)
I hate the post-1999 EU Jedi with every all of myself.
Agree. I can tolerate the prequel-era Jedi to an extent, but it really got my goat when their characteristics were applied to Jedi outside that era.
I also hated this with the Sith. Things like the “Darth” title and red lightsabers kept getting pushed further and further back in the timeline.
I know, right?
I enjoyed the KOTOR comic well enough, but it irked me when one of Exar Kun’s followers turned up with a red lightsaber or when Haazen commented on choosing “Darth Hayze” as his Sith name.
I’d love to see that art of the serpent creature training Yoda!
Your wish is my command.
To me, Rogue One was a VERY polished movie. I really enjoyed it. That being said, in my humble opinion, it did feel a little less star warsy. Primarily because it did not have the cheesy writing, humor, or as many continuity errors as the OT movies did. They really nailed the look down though. I walked out of the theater knowing it would be an immediate Blu Ray purchase once available.
“Fuck this movie, I’m just gonna leave. Not enough plot holes.”
I LOL’d, I did.
