TK-42-1 posted:He's got Sorkin's Syndrome. This was highlighted and double underlined by having Spader be the baddie in #2. The problem with Sorkin is everything he does screams "I am the most boring person in the room". I can enjoy Whedon's stuff even agreeing with the critisms because at least his mono voice can sometimes be fun, I have no loving clue what people see in Sorkin.

if jedi can see one second into the future then -wouldnt darth maul have seen obiwan jump out of the pit and have his saber at the place he landed and not die like a chump -wouldnt general grievous be no threat with lightsabers since he can't see into the future -wouldn't the jedi constantly interrupt people since they know exactly what they're about to say -against somebody whom can also see 1 second into the future wouldn't it be indistinguishable from seeing 0 seconds into the future

This is what the Emperor says about lightsabers: The Emperor posted:You want this, don't you? The hate is swelling in you now. Take your Jedi weapon. Use it. I am unarmed. Strike me down with it. Give in to your anger. With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant. Also what the hell is the point of having a laser sword if you can't have laser sword duels with them?

The only thing that supports what he's saying is "Jedi weapon", the rest is the Emperor taunting Luke for being too weak to kill him.

He also says it earlier, with the same amount of contempt: Darth Vader: [hands Luke's lightsaber to Palpatine] His lightsaber. Palpatine: Ah, yes, a Jedi's weapon, much like your father's. By now you must know that your father can never be turned from the dark side. So will it be with you. I mean yes he doesn't go out of his way to say "As you know, I am a Sith's and we Sith's don't use lightsabers" but even if that's not the implication that got retconned by 15 years of EU poo poo and lucas wanting laser sword fights, it's not a stretch to read it that way taken just in the context of the OT. And I stand by the fact that it would have been a cool way to differentiate sith vs jedi, even if you'd have to come up with a more creative way for them to throw down than to touch laser dicks together.

Or, rather than having some convoluted reason for the Sith to have duels with the Jedi that didn't involve lightsabers, they could just have lightsabers.

unless you're a giant autist the tone of the emperor's voice in rotj makes it clear that he does not have respect for lightsabers as effective weapons and why would he? even luke used a blaster most of the time and only pulled out his sword when he needed to or was duelling one on one with vader, same with obi wan kenobi it's really dumb for jedis to be using lightsabers in huge battle groups

also you know how it seemed like jedis were kind of mysterious monkish hermit dudes, and when we found out yoda trained obi wan kenobi like he trained luke we imagined them being off in the wilderness, studying philosophy, meditating and honing their use of the force? well gently caress that they just went to Jedi Academy in a giant city with like 30 kids in each class.

and they used those little floating balls and the blast helmets despite it being obvious in the first star wars that kenobi just whipped that up on the fly from poo poo han had on his ship.

The "trend" of internet critics making GBS threads on RLM because is getting old. Yes we agree he's a bit overexposed but I never see anyone actually argue againts what he's saying. Hell I'd be happy if JJ was given a supercut of RLM's criticism's (cutting out the tertiary poo poo about his basement and pizza rolls) so JJ gets an idea of A) Why fans found the prequels underwheming, and B) The shitstorm of terrible fans he's walked into because you know drat well Force Awakens could be Citizen Kane and someone will still make a copycat review video.

It was hilarious. Look up "The Long Way Round" and the "Long Way Down" on Netflix. They're both documentary series about Ewan McGregor and his buddy going on long motorcycle trips (One from London to New York and the other from the northern tip of Scotland to the southern hip of Africa). He ends up not shaving so for stretches of each show it's Obi-Wan motorcycling through the countryside complaining about how much his balls hurt.
