I hate the exhaust port complaint. People say that the Empire should’ve just covered it up, but that defeats the purpose of an exhaust port! It’s established that the port is tiny and apparently only someone with extreme propensity for the force can even hit it. Also, the port wasn’t what destroyed the Death Star. It was a chain reaction explosion caused by a torpedo making it all the way down the port and into the center of the space station. It isn’t like the exhaust port was a self-destruct button.

I like it too, I just call it for what it is. I love George Carlin and he was incredibly mean-spirited in his comedy. I enjoy RLM but they’re pretentious fucking assholes sometimes. I just like calling things how I see them.

The Cold War was the height of modern stupidity.

Really, not even in the Rogue One review? I can’t stand Rogue One and am considered by at least one user on here to be completely devoid of any and all compassion or empathy, and even I wouldn’t make the blanket assumptions about everyone that liked Rogue One the way they did.

I still think the droid factory is more obnoxious and exhausting.

That’s a very slow-moving scene, like the atrium discussion in AOTC. Those look just as bad if not worse in motion, but the battle scenes look much better in motion.

Yeah, that one is pretty terrible.

That’s a stupid solution. Democrats need to start saying that.

“Sometimes.” It’s two guys explaining why a movie is good or bad and why everyone who likes the “bad” movies are morons.

Just much more rude and much sometimes more pretentious.

I’m sure it is, but just because there are stupid perverts that enjoy fucked up cartoons done in anime doesn’t mean that anything done in that animation style is stupid and perverted. It’s like saying that Star Wars isn’t art and is completely disgusting and stupid and then, as proof, linking to Wookeepedia.

I can post random images too. I don’t care about what anyone thinks of anime, I just think the hypocrisy is astounding.

Remember when everyone gave me shit a couple years ago for saying that I don’t automatically respect other cultures and for saying that I don’t tolerate really shitty stuff just because it’s valued by other cultures? How come everyone shits on a Japanese art style purely because it’s a foreign art form but then everyone balked when I said I don’t respect cultures that subjugate women or practice honor killing?

I don’t think anything in AOTC other than possibly the Yoda scene is as embarrassing as the droid factory.

I’d say him grabbing Jar Jar’s tongue is among the better Jar Jar moments (low bar, I know). At least someone shut him up for a brief moment.

LOL!

Looks like two people are with me on that scene.

You’d really say that the scene where Liam Neesin eats lunch with the Skywalkers is the worst scene in all of Star Wars?

I had a feeling but wasn’t confident enough to guess.

The ST actually has much more CGI than any of the PT film; the issue is that CGI of that scope back in the early 2000s was widely unheard of. As such there was a lot of growing pains and ILM was still trying to figure out how to properly work with the technology and make it look convincing. So all these practical effects, sets, and real locations get overlooked because the CGI at the time just wasn’t 100% ready yet. Not saying that magically makes a lot of the CGI good, just that there is a reason.

But that’s also a problem with the decision making. If the technology isn’t ready, you don’t use it. Or you think it is ready and it’s not and you’re just fooling yourself.

This exact same criticism should be applied to cartoon Grand Moff Tarkin.

This thread is a perfect example of how people who put the prequels over any Disney SW film are either trolling or delusional.

I think they might be better than Rogue One.

It’s not as bad as some of the pointless action in the prequels or Rogue One, but I’d put the Endor shield generator stuff in a list of worst sequences in all of Star Wars. It’s definitely the most unwatchable part of the OT (OOT that is).

I don’t think that magazine article in the 90’s that kickstarted the whole ROTJ sucks thing even mentioned that part.

Well, I should’ve been more specific and just called it the Ewok battle. I actually like when they first sneak up on it and go inside but once the Ewoks show up and it’s just pointless action with teddy bears I’d call it the worst.

A lot of the humor in TFA was too blunt. “The garbage will do!” and lines like that felt very weak and kind of juvenile and uncreative.

I loved that line. Shrug.

It was very spelled out, which is not my type of joke.

Any asshole that pretends to be shocked by this needs to shut the hell up:

We all know that this will continue to happen until serious action is taken in this country about our gun problem.

No prequel scene stands out as worst for me because all of the scenes are unfortunate in some way. So I’d have to go with Han stepping on Jabba’s tail.

The whole scene? This is specifically about scenes or sequences.
