I don't care too much about a standalone, but I do want to see Luke Skywalker doing a badass fight scene like with Darth Vader in Rogue One. Like, he doesn't want to fight. He just avoids it whenever possible. But Snoke/First Order push him too far and he's like: "You want it? You got it." And he just fucks up everything and we all see just how powerful he has become.

The Yoda fight scene was one of the worst examples of Star Wars fans not knowing what their own opinion is until a consensus is formed. I saw AotC twice in the theatre, and both times people were pumping their fist and loudly cheering during the Yoda scene. It was all anyone was talking about on the walk out to the parking lot, how awesomely badass it was that Yoda finally had a lightsaber fight! I'm not sure how long it took for the fandom to decree that the scene actually is a disgrace to Star Wars, but it was far from instantaneous.

On top of being really bored in the theater as a kid I remember talking about why Yoda had a lightsaber at all afterwards. I liked Ep. 1 until rewatching it a few years later, and thought Ep 3 was alright coming out of it. quote:But Dooku/Seoaratist push him too far and he's like: "Who the man? Yoda man."

The way I see it, we can't lose: it will be good if he fights because we get to see cool fighting, and it will be good if he doesn't because it will be meaningful.

I remember being in the cinema on day of release for AotC. Anakin and Obi-wan are on the floor, Dooku standing triumphant over them, and then this tiny hobbling shadow comes into the room. Everyone in the cinema simultaneously realised what was about to happen, and went absolutely nuts. It was glorious, and I still get goosebumps remembering it.

Though them not having a single player Star Wars game by the time two thirds of the new trilogy is out is ridiculous. They were able to pump out like twenty games per movie during the prequel era.

It was all anyone was talking about on the walk out to the parking lot, how awesomely badass it was that Yoda finally had a lightsaber fight! I can attest to this. I saw the movie a few times with various friends and every time it got an insane reaction. You could feel the room buzzing when he opened his cloak and the lightsaber hilt flew into his hand. It's actually quite an interesting bit of pop blockbuster filmmaking, because Lucas and the team knew how it would play in the theaters. It hasn't aged well visually (Yoda looks super silly as a CGI character, but the puppet in TPM was also loving hideous so can't win them all) but I have a fond memory of enjoying that scene in theaters and won't denounce it for that very reason. The rest of AOTC loving sucks. It's the only Star Wars movie I actively dislike.

I watched the first two on a snow day in school (90% of kids and teachers couldn't/wouldn't turn up, but my parents kicked me out the door) when I was 11/12 and didn't much care for them. TPM in the cinema rocked my world.

sassassin posted:All posts are real. warning: this post is canon I think backlash against that scene is part shame. Explanation: I have a brother who is just two years younger than me (for context I was born in late 89 and he in early 92) so we experienced pop culture phenomena at the same time and spent hours discussing our theories and analysis. We were both huge fans of the OT from the cradle and we were both precocious readers and picked up EU novels in used bookstores and we spent a lot of time speculating on Yoda's youth, the older republic, and so on. I distinctly recall us discussing before AOTC came out how amazing it would be thematically if Yoda was actually a kickass fighter since it would make his line "wars not make one great" cooler because he would be saying it from experience (as an adult it seems clear to me that this was the intended subtext, that and the fact that Luke was seeking a "great warrior" but kids are terrible at subtext v  v ) when we were hashing out how that would work we concluded it would only make sense that Yoda would make up for his lack of size with use of his force telekinesis in a way that would be unmatched by any other.When we saw AOTC in the theater, we thought the dialogue was crap but the Yoda fight was exhilarating. We weren't expecting it but as it was happening it was like all our fan theories were coming true. We were right -- and it was awesome! Now the scene makes me cringe, perhaps because it is such a wish fulfillment yet seems a bit awkwardly placed. It's hard to say. Ironically I've come to like the dialogue between Anakin and Padme better since having been in relationships. When you're high on new relationship energy you will hear the dumbest poo poo leave your mouth. As I look back I also have to say for all the bickering we did it was neat to have someone about the same age around to experience the pop culture phenoms of the 00s with. Siblings can be Cool and Good, sometimes.

I don't think it is wish fulfillment to show the arc Yoda as a huge hypocrite. The scenes where he busts out the lightsaber are awesome until you think about what it means in light of the things he says. It shows you how he went from wizard-monk to a broken old hermit.

Posts are to be read in the same manner as film - don't worry about what the man behind the camera might be trying to do, respond to the words and images on the screen. Yoda's duel being pointless posturing that accomplishes nothing but a base thrill is narrative, not a mistake on behalf of the filmmakers. Luke's response to the invitation to fight at the end of RotJ is the culmination of that arc. Yoda makes mistakes. He's almost 900 and he's still inexperienced. He lives in a swanky tower while the galaxy has been at "peace" (peace for slavers etc.) It will be interesting to see if Luke takes the lightsaber at the start of the next one.

It might just be me, but applying Death of the Author to a direct conversation seems like a dick move. When you have the other person available to clarify their position it's somewhat rude to not take advantage of that.

well why not posted:I'm a few years older still but we literally watched them in school, on VHS. It ruled. The VHS set that most millennials are aware of came out in 1995, and 96 was the big Star Wars year where a bunch of toys came back and the Special Editions were gearing up. Holland would've been barely a year old by that point. By the time Episode 1 came out, he would've been 4. The OT not being big for him makes perfect sense, but nerds are dumb fuckers so.
