I made it, I finally made it to the end of the thread! I have conquered what seemed like a Sisyphean 20.000 posts, always 20.000 posts no matter how many I'd read. I have been rolling that "Droid=Humans?" rock up that hill over and over again. I have reached you at the end of the thread to share this secret wisdom with you:

Tezzor loving sucks, but also rules because I got to skip like 50 pages because of them and their illiterate ilk. The prequels are OK. See you in a hundred pages.

I still think the best tangent is the one about "can you rape a Buick"?`

The New Republic having FO-supporting-Imperialist and Populist factions was done at the behest of Rian Johnson for the novel Bloodline, so those ideas are likely to also pop-up in TLJ.

Luke uses the force to gather all the ships into a circle, makes it spin violently and thrusts it through the order's second star killer base like a destructo disk.

There's a Han Solo story in the comics that's literally him in the Falcon trying to win a big race (and pick up rebel spies but who gives a gently caress about that)

Unless I missed something that seems about as likely as Mara Jade showing up in the films.

Star Wars has been consistently bad since 1983, with a brief non-bad blip in 1994 (when Tie Fighter came out).

It's telling how subjective the qualities of good/bad star wars are when you tell straight away from a post which ones they grew up with.

If someone states they like the prequels they almost certainly grew up with them. It's the only thing that makes sense.

No it isn't. They could just not hold the OT up on an impossible nostalgia pedestal, or they could appreciate movies in different ways than you do.
