Reminder that the question of the personhood of robots is well-trod ground and doesn't enhance the prequels one whit.

There is a certain class of fan who can be caused to insist on obviously false things, if you just suggest that it being true would mean something is good about the Star Wars prequels.

Cnut the Great posted:My eyes glazed over halfway into that post due to the lack of formatting but this part I think this comes from one of two things: seeing how Lucas refers to the Jedi and the Republic as good organizations and either failing to notice or deliberately ignoring how Lucas also discusses how the movies are about these institutions failing, or else believing that its impossible for good organizations and good people to make mistakes (or, at least not mistakes of this magnatude).

Friendly Humour posted:I liked the prequel trilogy. That's cool. I honestly have no ill will towards anyone that likes 'em. My only issues is, is when they 'force' their love for them on you. "Hey, I don't really like the prequels. They're kind of bad movies to me." "But they're good though." Those peeps suck some serious poo poo. Accept on both sides. Droids are people. Be one with the force.

I was 9 and it's probably my favorite of the prequels. But then again that's like being forced to choose your favorite ex. Kind of a silly exercise.

computer parts posted:Ah, the good old "This didn't happen but if it did it doesn't matter" argument. See, this kind of thing is why this is thread is just so great and so complex in its awfulness. 1. A group of ostensible adults have declared their love of and allegiance to the space camel farts in a cartoon's face movie for grade schoolers. 2. They justify this in terms of a theory about Robo-Racism that they made up and which they talk about interminably at extreme length. 3. They are incessantly smug about the intellectual inferiority and dishonesty of people who do not believe in the Robo-Racism theory in the space camel farts in a cartoon's face movie for grade schoolers, or consider it irrelevant to the quality of the movie. 4. They appear to feel and claim genuine moral superiority and righteousness for denouncing the use of and alleged discrimination against pretend comical robots in the far background of Jamaica Frog and the Boredom Twins Meet the Slanteyes From Space It's just an intensely fascinating look into the capacity for human idiocy and I am fine to pay reregs as a sort of zoo membership Vegg220 fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Oct 6, 2016 |

A fun exercise is to locate the previous thread, and compare what people in this thread are arguing about this week in October 2016, to what they were arguing about one year earlier, the same week in October of 2015. It's often the exact same arguments, and the exact same people involved. Not just "Droids, people or not?" but everything. All of it. I have little doubt that all of the CD Star Wars threads in the history of the site are the same.

Prolonged Priapism posted:People have already pointed out how the ships in particular and the overall "cleanliness" of the whole galaxy evolves over time, this is conscious and well done art direction. If the art directions isn't excellent, what is it? Bad? I'd love examples of that. I agree that that would be interesting art direction, had it happened. Here's what actually happened: the prequels had the same design sensibility and "cleanliness" throughout the films. There was no coherent evolution of design and no general decrease in "cleanliness." Then, in the second half of the third act of the last movie, out of nowhere the sets for two locations have kind of the original aesthetic. If anything the aesthetic gets cleaner and less junky after Phantom Menace as Lucas spent less time on Tattooine and decided to shoot everything on a green screen. If you got fooled by half-assedly cramming the OT designs onto the Republic ship and the destroyer bridge you have to be some kind of idiot Vegg220 fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Oct 6, 2016 |

 They can't even frantically half-rear end it right. Here we are at the end of the movie. Wow! It looks just like the original aesthetics, what with its smooth shiny cartoon droids and its multicolored floating holographic information displays everywhere

He never notes or cares even a bit about the terrible terrible battle droid suffering happening right before our very eyes, specifically claims that they are substantively different from the good droids we like, and generally writes and directs them as comical, irrelevant and incompetent lightsaber targets while Sarah McLaughlin signs "The Arms of an Angel" in the heads of dudes with prodromal schizophrenia
