Ranking the Star Wars films

The politics in the Prequels are stupid. Why didn’t Amidala allow the Republic to investigate the invasion? Or, better yet, why didn’t the two Jedi Knights, who witnessed the invasion firsthand, back up her claims?

Why does everyone suddenly want to give Palpy emergency powers? It’s not like the Separatists actually did anything at that point.

Why does nobody object to Palpatine’s sudden transformation of the Republic into an Empire?

It was an insult towards me actually. All my posts on Peterson have been eloquent and reasonable. I don’t care anymore because you admitted yourself that you’re unwilling to read them, but here’s the part of the VICE interview on makeup. It’s at about the five and a half minute mark.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsz0DHwzAvc

When asked if he thinks women who want to be taken seriously in the workplace and who wear makeup are being hypocritical, Peterson says yes. I don’t agree with him, but at least he answered directly and didn’t waffle or equivocate, which is what he’s often accused of doing.

But that’s an insane stance. Being direct about is irrelevant IMO.

It’s definitely an extremely conservative viewpoint.

If conservative = misogynist, sure.

Thinking that makeup isn’t necessary in the workplace is misogynist. Ha, yeah, okay.

This is why words don’t mean anything anymore, the supposed “blue wave” coming this November is going to fall flat on its face, and Trump stands a good chance of being reelected in 2020.

Hopefully he’ll be able to lose the popular vote by less than 2.8 million votes this time.

A win by Electoral College without the popular vote is still a win. I guess some people haven’t figured that out yet.

I’m well aware. I didn’t say otherwise. I just think it’s wonderful that Trump lost the popular vote.

You can’t forget that he actually won the popular vote, it’s just that millions of illegals registered to vote:

I’m kidding, if my sarcasm isn’t already apparent.

Anyways, I have respect for Dr. Peterson in the fact that he is obviously well-educated, and that he has the right to hold his beliefs. I also have the right to think that he’s a dickhead.

EDIT: Here’s a quote from Dr. Peterson:

“The idea that women were oppressed throughout history is an appalling theory.”

The Dream of the Giant Fractal Woodlouse.

I had a dream that my family went out to see the new Avengers, and at the end there was a trailer for the next movie, and for some reason my dad decided to go and see it as soon as we walked out of the theatre (I dunno why it was already released). For whatever reason he wanted to watch it in the safety of his car, but both our car and a rental we had were parked a few floors above the theatre, and instead of driving down a ramp, my dad decided to just drive the cars off a ledge and crash into the floor beneath us. At that point I realised it was unrealistic for any of this to be happening, so I woke up.

That’s hilarious.

I hate how he constantly says something to the tune of “neo-liberal marxists”. That’s his catch phrase, almost. It doesn’t mean anything! Apparently anyone who cares about women’s rights or trans rights is a “neo-liberal Marxist.”

He conducts himself well in the recorded arguments I’ve seen, but his actual opinions are stupid.

General Star Wars <strong>Random Thoughts</strong> Thread
Time

Somehow I just got into an argument on Reddit about how Rey was the first female protagonist in Star Wars. One guy replied saying ‘Jyn Erso’, and another guy left this gem:

  1. Anakin is the main character of the saga, according to GL himself. The PT is the fall of Anakin. The OT is the rise and fall of Vader. The ST was intended to be the legacy of Vader but it feels more like a cash grab than anything.

  2. Leia is not a secondary character to Luke. Anyone who’s read even a single OT-era novel would know that if anything, Leia is more of a main character than Luke.

The guy then talked about Rey being a mary sue and then said this about me:

That comment has to be rage-bait and I’ve reported it as such.

I hate Reddit.

<strong>DESTROY ALL JEDI:</strong> <em>The unfinished Tarantino-inspired prequel edit</em>
Time

Inspired by Tarantino’s fetish for 70mm, the entire edit will be presented in that aspect ratio!

Don’t worry, shots that stopped working in the new aspect ratio have been re-framed.

Here’s what I’ve got so far in terms of chapter names::

Chapter 1: The Hunt for Maul <-- I’m here in editing
Chapter 2: Anakin Skywalker & The Senator
Chapter 3: The Tatooine Detour
Chapter 4: Destroy All Jedi
Intermission
Last Chapter: Blue Swords, Red Hell

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Ooh, I like the title!

JEDIT: Looked at the music list - are you still planning on using The Force by Lettuce? (I admit to being biased toward it since it was my suggestion.)

I probably will, but I’m only adding music to the list as I actually put it in the edit. I just haven’t found a place for it yet, but keep in mind I’ve only got a quarter of it done. 😃

More progress. I’ve also been updating the main post with more music as I edit it together, so you can see what music I’m using before you see it in a preview.

The next video preview will probably be when I’m finished with about half the edit.

JEDIT:

JEDIT II:

I might end up going with this title, suggested by RogueLeader.
