Let's be real, the first date he would take anyone would be to Star Wars, and then he will ruin the cinematic experience by not shutting the gently caress up the whole time, and punching you on the shoulder every time a light saber duel goes off, a laser tag match goes off, a dog fight goes off, some one liner about having sex with the light side of the force, and weeping at Carrie Fisher

I can barely remember a single thing about the last two star wars movies. The first one was a retread of a new hope and the second is just a blur in my brain. It takes me a bit to put the face of a main character to their name.

The prequels stand out more in my brain I can recall the basic plot and characters of all three.

I couldn't imagine feeling excitement for the next one.

I turn into a weepy mess at the slightest bit of like anything but I can't imagine crying bc I love star wars or something, I need an actual emotional moment like someone's dad dying or dropping a bowl of cereal on the ground

I feel like I'm emotionally broken because while a dad-dying scene in a given movie generally does nothing for me, I'll be reduced to a puddle by a sufficiently stirring piece of epic visual and musical sensory overload in the same movie

dude is ready to cry at the mere thought of the Star Wars trailer. it’s also just a sizzle reel of fan service moments. and the main action piece the clips are surrounding makes no sense. is the guy in the space ship trying to smash her against the window? did he forget he has weapons? but hey though dude called it epic so it must be great.

and I’m a loving Star Wars fan

yeah. i got misty eyed on the TFA trailer because that was the first movie since the abortion that the prequels are. i have liked the sequels so far well enough and i liked that trailer and will probably see it and probably by that respawn jedi game but i didnt cry over it.

that being said. i don't hate the dude. he isn't hurting anyone and if it makes the right turn on nerds and maybe cause nerds to leave nazism, then thats good.

it really is, I think its the best star wars there is.

would have been nice to expand the universe in that kind of direction, kind of tired of jedi vs sith narratives. Would like to see world building that focus on resources and economic disparities that reflected the oppressive nature of the Empire, culture and religion, which Rogue One succeeded at. Plus there were unique locations this time, Scarif was amazing.

Anyways, death to cargo shorts

I look forward to doing exactly what I've done for the last 4 Star Wars movies: watching them the one time once they're at Red Box, thinking they're pretty alright, and then desperately avoiding video essays online about how they're dissolving western civilization or whatever.

I feel like this was a mistake to begin with.

The original movies were character-vs-character stories, the whole "light side vs dark side" thing was more or less just code language for those characters' traits and motives as they related to each other. The whole thing got less interesting as soon as they said "sith" on screen

star wars really harps on duality in everything because Lucas is a hack, but the concept is high art. And its because Lucas didn't conceive most of the concept art that went into it

TBH I'm reasonably confident it won't generate as much poo poo as TLJ and the Discourse will be largely about if it betrayed the intent of its predecessor or not. So less harassing actresses, more convoluted rants about how the other side doesn't "get" Star Wars.

This but replace the second half of the sentence with "a dog food commercial that shows the dog getting old while the kid grows up"

Because the great blind idiot god of the market has determined that it has to be a story about plucky underdogs vs a looming threat no matter how self defeatingly absurd that narrative becomes the more often you repeat it.

In a meta sort of way the fact that capital demands the Star Wars universe be an endless relitigation of the same meaningless conflict is the most realistic thing about it.

Reading a buzzfeed article about how JJ Abrams apologizes about using the term "Force" as it implies the problematic aspect of lack of consent, and retcons it as "Willful Persuasion", a victory for SJWs everywhere to the lamentation of the alt-right, who now herald it as the decline of western civilization

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Star Wars is reactionary propaganda, Rogue One is the only good Star Wars movie, and the prequels were superior to and will be remembered far longer than the trash new movies
