Cnut the Great posted:Because the stuff that happens off-screen in the prequels doesn't make the plot of the prequels confusing. For example, we don't need to see Obi-Wan actually train Anakin, because Attack of the Clones makes it perfectly clear to us in a couple lines what that training was like. No one was actually confused about Anakin and Obi-Wan's relationship, they were just disappointed that we didn't get to see a pointless training montage for some reason. We don't need to see Obi-Wan actually train Anakin because Obi-Wan said in the very first movie that he trained him until he turned to evil. Nobody is confused because the prequels are building on 30 years of pop cultural osmosis.

jivjov posted:So characters are only allowed to show up once, in your opinion? Characters only show up once anyway, unless we're talking about an explicitly direct sequel. As Cnut points out, we're just playing word games at this point. Whether or not the character in Rogue One has any connection to the character in Clone Wars doesn't matter. The Clone Wars series is over, and the story it told is finished.

jivjov posted:And a character from that series is now appearing in Rogue One. Right, a story that has nothing to do with the series. James Bond movies aren't continuous despite the presence of the 'same' James Bond characters. Some of them are direct follow-ups to previous movies, but most have nothing to do with each other. The same applies here. The only thing really connecting Clone Wars with Rogue One is Disney/Lucasfilm saying so. It's meaningless.

homullus posted:But that's exactly what he does at the end of Return of the Jedi? At the end of Return of the Jedi, Luke throws his weapon away and refuses to continue fighting. He becomes the ideal Jedi he has constructed in his mind (read: the good man who was his father, before Anakin was seduced by the Dark Side), transcending the old false Jedi ideals that Obi-Wan and Yoda sought to instill in him. It is worth noting that Luke's ideal never actually existed before he stopped fighting. Luke's actions are revolutionary, and that's why people want to see him get in a big flashy lightsaber fight again.

His real name is Ryan. He inherited 'Han Solo' from the previous Han Solo, who was not the real Han Solo either. His name was Cummerbund. The real Han Solo has been retired 15 years and living like a king in Patagonia.

Here's all you need to know about droids' programming in Star Wars: It's against C-3PO's programming to impersonate a deity. C-3PO impersonates a deity.

Basebf555 posted:It really doesn't even matter though. If a being is programmed to feel love, or pain, or to have hopes and dreams, and then why would that being not be considered worthy of human rights? Who cares why they feel these things? Why does that make a difference? I disagree. Emotions are not programmable (or so my limited understandings of psychology and computer science lead me to believe, please correct me if I'm wrong). You could theoretically program a roomba to express emotions in response to stimuli, but unless that emotion emerges internally instead of because you got all the 1s and 0s right, it isn't actually emotion and the roomba isn't actually a person. As far as the semantics go, you're right that the issue is about mistreating people, but if you assume droids are no different than real-world robots, then it's perfectly rational to conclude that droids are not people. The base assumption shouldn't hold up to what we see on the screen in these movies, but people generally aren't good at reading movies and I think most of us post in CD to get better at that.
