Does VR exist in the Star Wars universe? The closest I've found is the song routine that the grandad wookie listens to in episode 4.5

Sometimes I feel like Star Wars can be criticized to death. And it extends the fun we can siphon from the films. But its also ok to just ignore all these reasons to hate star wars. the critic is worth nothing. lucas is a beautiful god.

Has anybody else ever played with the idea of committing to watching ALL Star Wars? It might take a few months but like: OT Prequels Clone Wars TV show + movie Rebels New movies Christmas Special Ewok movies Outakes and 'deleted scenes' I'm thinking to think what else there is. Maybe play through every single Star Wars video game as an encore?

Basebf555 posted:You mean watching them all in a row and posting about it? Because I'm sure plenty of people have watched All of Star Wars already, I know I have with the exception of the Christmas Special, and I've seen plenty of clips of that. Sure. But have plenty of people watched All of Star Wars who post in this thread? I'd be curious if there was anybody. Have you seen all of Droids? Not being pedantic, I think it'd be an interesting blast of Star Wars. I'm sure you'd come out the other end with a slightly different perspective on it all. Or perhaps not. also: Lego Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles Lego Star Wars: Droid Tales Lego Star Wars: The Resistance Rises I'll stop digging but I have no doubt there is probably a lot more Star Wars to watch if you really want to scrape that barrel.

galagazombie posted:We're talking about common colloquial usage though. Sure the words terrorist and terrorism existed before 9/11, but they never held the kind of all encompassing "everything must be compared to it" nature the word has now. The word has become so broad as to become not just useless, but downright harmful to rational debate.

^solid post. Just had a thought, how many years until the OT is remade a la a King Kong? My bet is another fifty years. Another answer would be it has already started in 2015.

Does anybody else feel like copying and pasting every post from each iteration of the SA Star Wars threads into a google doc and then printing it out then binding? It would be tricky to get rid of the formatting mess but if you put the time into it you could.

^ Good post, I agree. When the Death Star is suddenly there over Scarif, its like... oh of course! Of course it was going to help out. But the battle does a good job of keeping your attention and you sort of forget about it for the beat. And its so menacing. Just sitting there over the rise. It doesn't have to be anything more.

I was out for dinner with my relatives tonight. My six year old cousin has discovered Star Wars. He's watched all of them on repeat. I was quizzing him on trivia like Hans reply to "I love you." Then I asked him about darth plagueis the wise and not only could he recount the tale but he went over a couple fan theories as to what really happened to him. Later, he also mentioned that Snoke might be Mace Windu. Turns out he's been watching lots of youtube videos on star wars so his knowledge of the mythology is insane. When I was six my knowledge was as far as "the red light saber is the most powerful." Six. He's six. He knows of the Vong. Oh, and I asked him about his thoughts on the prequels vs. the OT. He didn't really distinguish them on quality.

My favourite part of Star Wars is when fans dressed up as Tusken Raiders for the local midnight of TFA. They did the ohhohh chant as the movie started which was a hit but you could tell after twenty minutes of sweaty nerd air they were finding their full body/face costumes difficult to deal with.

Not being facetious, on page 1 of this thread I posted a viewing order. I now retract that viewing order in exchange for: I, II, III, R1, IV, V, VI, VII I now believe this is the best order. Happy to argue with anybody who disagrees.

Cnut the Great posted:Rogue One is totally ancillary to the main narrative. It only exists to explain a background element of the plot that doesn't have much true significance to the thematic arc of the saga. Your viewing order leaves jarring gaps in the actual story while adding two hours' worth of what is basically filler.

I was definitely a dweeb yelling internet jokes and printing out Maddox pages in high school. If we can't forgive ourselves how can we forgive each other? -- Oh! Star Wars thread. Here is my new watching order: E1 E2 E3 Rogue One E4 E5 E6 E7 All in a row and sync up the viewing time so as soon as E7 ends on my phone+earphones I'll look up from my cinema seat to see E8

Good post apart fromTaintrunner posted:Oh, and I know someone is going to point out how actually this is a subtle point that perhaps the Republic isn't very good and largely hypocritical but then who caaaaaarrrreeess if this falsely superior Republic falls into the hands of an evil Emperor. Just because something is supposedly intentional doesn't actually make it brilliant or valuable, especially if you have to write your own subtext to justify what isn't actually shown in the film within the rules of cinema.

Taintrunner posted:Then who cares? Why am I even watching this movie? Why am I invested in anything and why do I care about the characters who are fighting for something that is actually the Empire? You're arguing for the films being actually unwatchable as a subtle political commentary on American imperialism in what is a space fantasy. Wizards and knights with laser swords and poo poo. It's a very simple setting so we can focus on the character drama and the characters are brutally unlikeable.

Taintrunner posted:See! This right here is my problem. It's the smug self-satisfaction that your supposed reading of the film (which is actually closer to fanfiction) makes you smarter than me and the film is actually "doing it's job" by somehow slowly convincing a hardcore anti-militarist leftist who despises liberals like the Obama Administration for idiotic, senseless drone assassinations across multiple nations and the bootlickers that justify poo poo like that and selling arms to Saudi Arabia so they can bomb kids in Yemen. The film doesn't need to "do it's job." It's bad at the thing you're arguing it's supposedly doing. It's a space fantasy series of films with wizards, knights, laser swords, and lightning that horribly hosed up everything after the initial three films because extended franchises with extra material crammed into them over the course of decades are actually a terrible ideal when done with a straight face and not serving the purpose of complete schlock.

I genuinely enjoyed the podracing game for N64 and PC. an optimal nostalgia blast of Star Wars for me would be playing it while watching E1 through 3 and TFA.

Actually when I invite my (mixed gender) friends around for popcorn and DVDs its usually: An ironically bad movie (Clone Wars, Ewok Films, Christmas Special) A genuinely good movie (e1, e2, e3, e4, e5, e6, rogue one, e7) We also have video games going so people can tune out and play hard.
