This meme or whatever you call it is dumb. Obi-Wan didn’t tell Luke: “hey you’re Dad was an asshole and the Jedi deserve to die.” Yoda never told Luke: “there is no dark side or light side. the jedi were arrogant and wrong”.
The people who defend these ST movies are no different than the people who defend the prequels. Mental gymnastics and totally ignoring the spirit of the original movies. But hey look it’s Darth Mual with his cool double bladed lightsaber. Er…I mean look it’s Porgs and Kylo Ren with a saber handle! It’s Star Wars duh!
If that is your attitude - then why are you here? To bait or antaognise those on here that do like these films? If so your stay here is going to be a short one.
Excuse me, am I not allowed to post my thoughts on the movie? What did I do to violate the rules? Or you just disagree with me and my posts bother you so you’d rather silence them?
I simply stated that if are to here to bait or antagonise those on here that do like these films your stay is going to be a short one.
No-one is being silenced here - and there are plenty of others who’ve voiced their disapproval of various SW films in a critical manner without baiting or antagonising those who do enjoy them.
Get over yourself.

Since I’m new here, can you point out which rule I violated that deserved you to threaten me? I read through them…
- My post was on topic about the movie and the franchise in general.
 - I didn’t attack anyone.
 - I didn’t use any profanity.
 - I don’t have a signature.
 - I didn’t make an image-only post.
 - I did not harass anyone.
 - I didn’t make any personal attacks, let alone the ones listed.
 - I don’t have a sock account, I’m new here.
 I can’t see any reason you would threaten me except you don’t like my point of view. I wasn’t aware that was against the rules.
I haven’t threatened you - and you know it. Read the above ‘there are plenty of others who’ve voiced their disapproval in a critical manner without baiting or antagonising those who do enjoy them’.
I do find it interesting that haven’t denied you are here to bait or antagonise others.
 
Anyway…
See Rule 2 - ‘Don’t attack other members personally. When debating, argue the point, not the person’ - as ray_afraid said previously, it is a personal attack on those who do enjoy them.
I suggest you heed the rule.
And also, lose the attitude.

Hi and welcome to the site mate - hope you enjoy posting on here 😃
‘Black Mirror’ Season 4: Episode Guide, Release Date And Trailers, Plus What Charlie Brooker Is Saying About New Series:-
Out on the 29th December 😃
A guildmate of mine on SWGOH just posted this, and it’s a good read.
Really enjoyed that.
Nice one.
The picture that surfaced recently - now on calendars…

Were Yoda and Obi-Wan not ‘broken’ by events earlier in their lives? It would seem Luke is too in TLJ, and understandable given the circumstances - not forgetting his path to a change of heart towards the end of the film - sacrificing himself to do so.
For me, I like it more after I left the cinema. The more I think about it - and I am, weeks after it’s release - the more I’m understanding it and appreciating it.
(That’s not to omit the parts I personally thought didn’t quite work - yet I never went in expecting a perfect film - I’ve never seen one yet. Well, there was that one short film on pornhub…)
I don’t think the Luke and Obi-Wan/Yoda scenario really are comparable. For one Obi-Wan and Yoda didn’t do anything bad to Anakin, like considering to kill him before Anakin went all psycho. Secondly, Obi-Wan and Yoda didn’t just hide under a rock on their own accord, waiting to die. They were forced into hiding by a Jedi purge in a galaxy controlled by the Empire. They also actively tried to improve the situation by going after Sidious and his new apprentice. When that failed, they hid the twins, and bided their time, until the twins grew into adulthood and the Rebel Alliance had a fighting chance.
And despite the above, they remain characters still ‘broken’ by the events earlier in their lives - in the context of a reply to ‘while there is a place for gritty and broken heroes in cinema (John Wick, John McClane, etc.), doing it to existing heroes is a step too far for me’.
Here comes a new one: I liked the look of those junior novel covers they have in the library. So I did one based off that. The gimmick is that each film has their own coloured case.
I like those a lot - especially the different coloured cases for each too - though what do you mean ‘junior novels’? 😉
My Star Wars novel came in a cracking Star Wars tin (and erm… a doodle book). The tin’ll be housing some old SW dvds soon enough 😃

Pick your ride…




Love the disc art used and those simple yet elegant back covers - nice one 😃
She is indeed a Northern lass - born there and spent much of her upbringing there - as you can tell from the accent - which I too hope she keeps, though it may be a little toned down.
All the best Doctors are from the North 😉 (runs out of thread before any soft southerners pull me up on that!)
Happy Birthday suspiciouscoffee.
^ Very nicely done that. Cheers for the link mate - will come in handy 😃
Was just messing around in paint for a different Faces-based project…

and this very basic idea too (was playing around with OT ‘trilogy’ logos etc)…



Quality all those ChainsawAsh - personally I love the ‘boxier’ style logos - especially for the Prequels.
Nice one 😃
Doesn’t sound very promising for “Solo” even if only part of this rumour spoken about in the below video is true…

Serious question - do you just watch YouTube videos for all your information?
Frink - leave this alone, please.

We should all be a little wary of these opinion / click-bait videos and articles - let alone the more mainstream media 😉
Star Wars is an easy brand to generate misleading publicity on - and even if the some of the opinion and insight on there is of note - it should probably be taken with a pinch of salt.
Sorry Jason but I’m not buying his diplomatic talk over everything else he has already said about the matter on top of his reaction after his first viewing speaking volumes about his feelings on the matter. I think he’s dying to say what he really thinks about the whole matter but at the same time doesn’t want to jeopardise his role in IX by pissing off Disney.
This video pulls some of those comments together along with his post viewing reaction, though I wish it didn’t have the bleeding heart violin music over the top of it all.
.Val
That’s ok mate - I’m not asking you to buy anything 😉
Though this is just a twitter ‘like’ from the man himself - who has gone on record to give a more accurate portrayal of his feelings towards the film (likely, after seeing some of those opinions distorted in videos where his many interviews are cut together, out of context, to portray something he may not agree with).
If I were in his shoes I wouldn’t be too happy with that - and I don’t believe there are many that would be either.
Though that’s the clickbait nature of the internet - especially social media - these days.
 
You are correct - what is it with the music in these videos?
CONFIRMED - OOJASON HATES ALL MUSIC IN VIDEOS - CLICK HERE FOR PROOF… 😉

Just release all films sepperatly on each of their 40th anniversary
A little late for that…
True but they could release to coincide with Solo: A Star Wars Story or a release of The Last Jedi if possible
I meant a Blu Ray that may be 4K
Mate - you’re talking to yourself 😃
