The balance of the Force thing aint that stupid because the "Light Side" is the natural state of the Force and the Dark Side is a corruption. This is pretty obvious in the original films. It's why KOTOR 2's Force stuff is stupid. Also the rest of the EU.

It's imbalanced because the corruption weighs an end down or something. Lucas is poo poo but thinking it meant two of Jedi and two of the other is stupid and means you didn't understand the Force in the movies. There aint two sides of the Force, there's the Force and then a corruption. I guess he means balanced in a zen way.

I mean it blows because it makes Anakin into the central character and savior when that isn't the case in the good movies. And also prophecies suck.

There is no quality control because the premise of the EU is stupid. Star Wars isn't droids and lightsabers and the Force it's Han and Luke and Vader, etc and the specific story of the Original Trilogy. It's why the sequels are probably going to be mediocre at best because Disney is planning to release spin off movies and poo poo which is entirely missing the point.

It can only cut through everything in the EU (prequels count as EU). Oh no I lied there's that special metal in the EU. But in the original movies metal and poo poo stops it and Luke at one point doesn't just cut through Vader's body when he hits him. The "but it'd cut off his hands or body" for the new lightsaber is a dumb complaint - the thing just looks stupid is all. shiksa posted:if you discount the literally retarded scripts sure I said a lot, not all. Hell they're even tied together since Lucas thought a bunch of fanservice and stupidly long silly fights for no reason were more important than emotion and character development.

Harime Nui posted:If you think about it, planets like Naboo and Alderaan produced literally nothing except a handful of aristocratic families... "We're a peaceful planet" is practically code for "we're a garden planet for the rich tjat produces npthing and sucks resources like a hoover," which is why Naboo virtually collapsed after maybe a month under blockade.... I bet Palpatine ignored Naboo and their whole service/tourism economy collapsed during the war. That old bearded advisor dude from Ep 1 was probably hawking his silverware to survive lol Naboo never collapses and it looks like they face zero hardships during the blockade.

muscles like this? posted:Also, while reading this thread I was struck by how stupid it is that they call them the "Clone" wars. Winners usually name wars after the defeated party, not the victors. I think literally everyone but Lucas assumed when they heard "Clone Wars" in A New Hope it was a war fought against clones. Elukka posted:It's been the only major galactic power for a long time. There's nobody to fight and the various local militaries that later made up the separatists worked just fine for keeping the order. It would have kept working fine if it weren't for ol' Sheev and his conspiracy. The Separatists used droids not conscripts. They'd have an army.
