I do not like the cat monster tearing a convenient amount of natalie portman's top off to expose her midriff to titillate the audience for the remainder of the scene where we're supposed to be invested in the character's mortal peril

Very disappointing that the pussy and bull sequence led to something titillating. Padme all in white leaps from the tip of the phallic pillar she was chained to. Obscene.

It's a very sexual movie.

Yeah, but the species doesn't have a known name, and it's a pretty reasonable shorthand. Everyone knows Yoda is his name, and when they say "Baby Yoda" people still know they're talking about The Child as he looks like a baby version of Yoda. :shrug:

Yep, and they never refer to him as "Baby Yoda" in the show. Just as "The Child".

Rise of Skywalker is worse just for being a completely soulless retread of Empire and RotJ that tries to open Mystery Boxes that JJ never put anything inside to start with. AoTC at least tries to be its own thing, for better or (mostly) worse, and I could actually stand to watch it again compared to Rise of Skywalker.

Agreed. The prequels, for all their flaws, at least had a decent and original premise. The overall story is good and I enjoyed those movies a lot more than this new trilogy when I first saw them. The sequel trilogy are just inferior remakes of the original trilogy. None of these films hold up nearly as well as the original trilogy when rewatching them. But I definitely enjoyed the PT way more than the ST when I first saw them. It could just be because I was younger and dumber when the PT came out, but even watching the clone wars tv show today makes me realize how much better the prequel story-line actually was.

Just wait till Tarantino directs a star wars movie. There will be plenty of boot snatching alien monsters that will provide plenty of foot fan service.

I might give this a shot. I don't think I've seen any of the prequel movies more than once (when they came out), and I've been similarly unmoved to rewatch the new ones.

In terms of the prequel i think they may have worked better if Padme had been made the progagonist and we saw Anakin's fall from her pov. They couldve made her a jedi queen and had the final showdown her vs anakin only for him to defeat her and obiwan going apeshit as a result and hunting anakin down.

Man you could have a whole thread of watching Wookipedia try and explain the bullshit that's in these new movies. Like, hey; how come everyone saw all those planets explode that also should've been a much bigger deal? Well...

Sub-hyperspace was the name given by members of the First Order to a hole in the realspace continuum through which phantom energy traveled. Unlike typical hyperspace, which moved across the galaxy, sub-hyperspace would move through the galaxy. The First Order's Starkiller Base was able to collect a form of dark energy called quintessence, transform it into phantom energy, and unleash it along a linear path through sub-hyperspace, enabling it to destroy entire star systems across vast interstellar distances in real-time. Oh, but what is phantom energy?

Phantom energy was a state of dark energy. When the Starkiller Base superweapon released the quintessence it had collected within its core, it was transformed into phantom energy, which would follow the line of egress that had been provided by the weapon's technicians according to planetary rotation, inclination, etc, through a hole in "sub-hyperspace", until it was intercepted by an object of sufficient mass. What is quintessence, you say?

Quintessence was a form of dark energy. According to Resistance officer Ushos O. Statura, the scientists working on the Galactic Empire's Project Celestial Power had tried to contain dark-matter quintessence.

It's endless. Every dumb thing has whole wiki-holes to explain how actually, it's not dumb, it just requires an awful lot of explanation that the movies never did and we're certainly not scrambling to make up poo poo to explain JJ's dumb cinematic bullshit

The Force is connected to all living things, yeah? But if a Jedi that had been retired for 20 years could feel a profound disturbance from a planet blowing up, maybe blowing up a whole star system might make a disturbance big enough even normal people could feel.

I think the first few episodes were released theatrically as a feature length movie. Or it was a stand alone movie that kicked off the show. Something like that.

once people get invested in canon & the idea of this universe as a real consistent thing, this becomes genuinely comforting & actually mitigates the terribleness of the movies (i guess?). like how people believe a clone wars series can redeem the prequels.

I'd argue this, it to me, felt like a very starwars take on an old western where they robbed a train. a new hope had the scenes based on the dambusters after all.

It may not be the best film in the world but I enjoyed it.

Yes. In 2008 Lucas released the pilot to his Clone Wars TV series in theaters. The reaction was hilarious, especially Roger Ebert. He was so mad that he was tricked into watching and reviewing a Saturday morning cartoon.

It's actually pretty good, for a tv pilot, and the subsequent tv show was even better. But people went in expecting a real Star Wars movie, not a cartoon tv show pilot, so a lot of people hated it. Lucas was just trolling as usual. He probably didn't care about the bad reviews anymore and knew he was going to wind up selling to Disney. Why not cash in on the name one more time while he still had the chance?

I'd guess they are pulling from novelizations or comics or possibly even more obscure sources.

So not making it up themselves to fill plot holes, just summarizing crap other people made up to fill plot holes.

I about agree with this maybe switching 8 and 3. Rogue One would go after that and Solo before 9.
