greatn posted:Dooku directly works for Sidious and doors his bidding like all the time though. He's telling the truth that Sidious runs things, but lying that he wants to destroy him. Dooku works with Sidious because it furthers his plans and also because he fears his power, but he does fully intend to destroy him. This is something that he states multiple times in the Clone Wars cartoon, and is his reason for trying to convince Obi-wan to join him and for recruiting various apprentices such as Asajj Ventress. Alone he is too weak to challenge Sidious but if he had someone backing him up, he might have a chance.

MonsterEnvy posted:Watching the Clone Wars were Dooku is the main villain gives you a fair amount of respect for the guy. This is how Dooku should have fought in Attack of the Clones, with a unique style. Instead he just uses two hands like everyone else in the movie even though he has that curved fencing ligthsaber.

Dubplate Fire posted:Why doesn't Chewbacca explain to Han Solo that the force is real since he loving knows Yoda? Because Han says he doesn't believe in The Force controlling his destiny, not the Force itself.

Dubplate Fire posted:He says that it's parlor tricks, implying that it's an illusion, not the real deal. Then in the greatest film in the franchise, TFA, he admits that its all real. Han Solo: Kid I've flown from one side of the galaxy to the other. I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never anything to make me believe there is one all-powerful force controlling everything. There's no mystical field that controls my destiny. Chewbacca wasn't a Jedi, so even if he saw force powers and other external manifestations of the force, and told Han about them, that doesn't mean Han would believe his destiny was controlled by these powers. "It's all a bunch of simple tricks and nonsense"

Tezzor posted:The new movie (and the direction of the new franchise as a whole) distancing itself from the prequels (ie pretending they never existed) is not a random act of nature worth mentioning only in passing. You seem to be ignoring an entire generation of children who absolutely love The Clone Wars CG cartoon (which was for many of those kids their first star war) and thus, love all the prequel stuff. Clones, Anakin, all that. Theyre

Greivous jumping out the window is cool, even if he didn't immediately pull out 4 lightsabers and kill obi wan and anakin and ended star wars right then and there.

None of the EU or novelizations are canon anymore so they can't even be held up as "the most official explanation" anymore, if they ever could be to begin with.

Tezzor posted:Yes, it is a comically awful RPG plot device that makes the prequels bad. Why do you think mocking it is helping your point? Because there is nothing in the movies themselves that suggest that that's whats happening?

I'm pretty sure the prequels did exist in Lucas's brain in some form, you know, cause stuff like "clone wars" was said, and people seemed to know that obi wan fought Vader in a volcano way before episode 1 existed, so that last part just isn't true

What's that article of the guy who watched the prequels with his kids while also watching the clone wars cartoon. I remember them getting really attached to anakin and being genuinely shocked when he went bad.

Taintrunner posted:Oh right, that scene. "This weapon is your life" juxtaposed against "Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.” is the funniest contradiction the Prequels and the OT have, second only to every Jedi wearing the same robes Old Ben is wearing in exile on Tattooine, yet nobody goes "Hey! A Jedi!" at any point in Mos Eisley, not even the Stormtroopers (who are all clones that would have "Jedi wear Jedi Robes" programmed into their brains). Actually by the time of the OT most of the clones are all dead due to advanced aging. The stormtroopers are regular recruits

Taintrunner posted:No they haven't! You're lying to yourselves! This is purely anecdotal if anything! Nobody is making new lines of Prequel Trilogy toys or books or whatever because nobody loving likes these movies! Actually, the most probable reason no new prequel lines are being made is because TFA characters and toys are being sold at the moment. While the prequels where airing and while the Clone Wars cartoon was airing, every toy prop, every Halloween costume, every lego set focused on them.

Yaws posted:Comedic relief? In the PT it gives our heroes the opportunity to use their cool laser swords on countless enemies and the audience doesn't give it a second thought. No one watched Obi-Wan cut those droids in half and thought to themselves "man, these movies are gory!" Because that would be stupid. Because they're not people. Those droids were manufactured to kill. That's all they "know". Do you consider the clones people? They too, were manufactured to kill. It is all they will live for.
