Is <em>Revenge of the Sith</em> the Best or Worst Prequel?
Time

I think most people were expecting Anakin to be put in the Vader suit at the end. Where we got stiffed is we didn’t get to see Vader do much of anything. Vader was so prominent in the advertising and merchandising, that the fact he was barely in the movie was a bit of a letdown.

I enjoy the Q2 Fall of the Jedi edits, which completely remove Vader in the suit.

I find that I actually prefer it that way. It makes Vader in the OT more legit, as the way suited Vader is shown in the PT it feels mainly there for fan service.

You betrayed me! You’re not good. You-you’re just a chicken. Chip-chip-chip-chip-cheep-cheep.

Put that cookie down. Now!

How is this “popular”?

No need to post a clip. I know the film well. I would not consider it, nor that line “popular.”

The quote is popular enough to be a meme.

Oh I’m sorry, you gave the impression earlier that internet-based “popular” lines weren’t legitimately popular and should be ignored completely. Thanks for clarification of thread rules.

No such impression was intended, and I’m not the OP. When I asked the question how “So good…” is popular, I couldn’t google it to figure out what it was from. Not that whether things are popular are dependent on my thinking that they are. I do not pretend to be the ultimate authority on popularity and this is not my thread.

So kindly step off, if you would please.

Sorry I assumed you must be the OP if you had the power to completely veto my post because it didn’t fit the rules to your liking. Whoops.

Take it up with the actual OP.

No such impression was intended, and I’m not the OP. When I asked the question how “So good…” is popular, I couldn’t google it to figure out what it was from, and I still can’t find it. Not that whether things are popular are dependent on my thinking that they are. I just didn’t recognize and couldn’t identify it, which to my mind brings its popularity into question. But I do not pretend to be the ultimate authority on popularity and this is not my thread.

So kindly step off, if you would please.

Taking a stand against toxic fandom (and other )

George was quoted as saying in 2012 , " Why should I make more when everyone yells at you and says what a terrible person you are ?"…granted , he came back after the Disney merger ,had a meltdown , then came to acceptance and then came back to support all the subsequent productions .I watched Mark Hamill’s ceremony for his star on the walk of fame earlier this year and George Lucas and Harrison Ford attended , an interviewer asked Lucas about Star Wars and he said he had nothing to say . I think he is still going through the stages of grief. He did say it was like a divorce after all . Also . on the subject of Jar Jar , Ahmed best has started doing some field notes on the backlash of his character , seems he feels George could have stuck up for him a bit more …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoRD_SfIbwE

Maybe Lucas should have taken a deeper look at why the fans were yelling at him and saying what a terrible person he was? Maybe he should have more open to the idea that (gasp!) he could have made mistakes that led to the fan hate. The thing is, he could made a lot of the fan hate go away by doing one simple thing: give the oot the release it deserves.

Ah, so the abused should ask himself or herself, why he or she deserves to be abused, rather than expect respectful discourse?

Lucas is not a battered wife.

Kelly-Mary Tran, and Ahmed Best are not battered wifes… I don’t see how that has anything to do with toxic behaviour towards creators of a work for not getting what you want.

You referred to to Lucas like he was an a victim of abuse. He isn’t.

jesus warb. he literally said he didn’t want to make anymore movies due to the amount of attacks towards him. there’s no excuse for that.

and then he went back to counting his zillions(zillions that can’t came from the fans). Can’t say I feel too sorry for him. He was never to my knowledge physically attacked. Did some of it go too far? Yes. But much was justified complaining. In my opinion, Lucas acted like a self centered, arrogant, jerk. Sorry, but that is how I feel.

Zillions of dollars does not make one happy. You might assume it does, but it does not. I’m pretty sure GL, as a human, does actually have feelings, and that feeling constantly personally attacked about his filmmaking choices is pretty emotionally taxing.

The money he made has nothing to do with it. Someone making money off a product or service people consume does not give said consumers license to cause them significant emotional distress over it.
