Your hateful, incoherent gibberish has been rendered literal gibberish by your incompetence at writing. Beautiful.

It's also beautiful that you're endorsing brainwashing as pleasant. I think the CIA is looking for guys like you, as long as you're not too squeamish to get your hands dirty.

You've ceased being amusing and are now becoming annoying. Maybe you should take a break.

Neither Minervina nor Fausta are known to have been Christians, and his son Crispus, who was educated by a Christian, would have been five at the Battle of the Maxentius Bridge where Constantine is supposed to have used the Chi-Rho symbol for the first time.

I will admit me that you've sufficiently wowed me with your knowledge of his wives' names that I'm not going to retort. My Art History professor is full of poo poo then.

They do. Obi-Wan "killed" Anakin and took his sabre and gave it to Luke later. The Qui-Gon dialog is foreshadowing.

I was thinking about Emo Kylo Ren and his school-shooting character. Han's like "Ben. Come home. We miss you." but fails to add "...and stand trial for your war crimes, terrorism and mass murder of innocents."

That's assuming the force itself leans towards the light side and not just something the jedi sect claims.

Maybe there's another bad rear end, super accurate, oddly lucky storm trooper out there who is also force sensitive, but uses his ability to be doubly efficient at purging the innocent.

I feel like they sort of left open how super skilled Jedis fight in the New Trilogy (tm). Rey has no idea what she's doing, obviously, and I thought they sort of implied that Kylo is basically at Luke in ANH levels of training--Snoke's summons at the end is kind of a reverse Yoda thing.

I hope Luke fights like this

Would be perfect. (although I think you mean later on in the scene when he beats her fighting with a reed. Effortless.)

It's obvious that Luke tore the ground between Ren and Rae apart, saving Rae from the dark side until he can teach her how to use it properly against other dark side users.

If you wanted Maul to have a bigger role, it wouldn't be hard to write an escape in TPM, condense the romance and "jedi/protagonists stand, walk, or sit while expositing" scenes in AOTC, then integrate scenes where Sidious expresses an interest in Anakin's skills and immature nature, prompting Maul to try to eliminate Anakin before it's necessary at the arena, resulting in his death to a rookie jedi due to his blind rage and jealousy at losing his father figure (i'm sure you could write a decent ironic comparison between him and Anakin losing his mother, foreshadowing Anakin undergoing the same arc in the OT).

If you REALLY wanted to go wild with Maulmania, he could be the one Anakin and Obi fight in the opening instead of Dooku, and Palpatine's order to kill him [maul] is his final decision to dispose of Maul and recruit Anakin. Rest of the movie progresses as usual.

I like this.

No he's not. Besides being a stabber, the explanation for his actions doesn't fit with any actual school shooting.

You might have missed that he gathered a team of like six other dudes, and is motivated by a deep religious conviction. Essentially, he had a sort of religious epiphany that he's now struggling to understand.

Yeah he's more of an abortion clinic bomber.

I unironically enjoy Episode 1 and think it's a good Star Wars movie. Sure, Jar-Jar. But, kids! It's got heroes, villains, good action, and it's a fairly tight story.

II has some good parts (anything Obi Wan, basically), and the rest is strangely awful. Cringe inducing. Same for III - some great parts, lots of poo poo.

That said, the overall story for the prequels is great - trade wars, taxation, Senate, etc. I love that poo poo - because it's all about Palpatine's rise to power, and I find that fascinating. I just wish a better Director had handled it, free of Lucas' meddling.

Read the novelization of "Revenge of the Sith" for proof - it's great. The movie, not so much.

This post is from Nov. 2, 2012.


That's how long we've wasted arguing if the prequels are good or bad.

Thrawn was a good character in my opinion. All anyone ever talks about is the art thing.


Okay it was a pretty big aspect of the character. Also from what I remember he was studying art to identify nuances in a species beyond the traditional study of battle tactics which he had already thoroughly investigated. I don't know it's been a long time.

The New Star Destroyer design is especially blah, though. Basically just fatter and broader than the old ones, and with smaller crown thingies (which were what made the original design pop.) It looks downright clumsy.

I see what you're saying but I feel the need to mention that this actually fits with the narrative.

I usually hate when people say that but it's like the golden age of ship building has passed.

I'm surprised SMG hasn't taken that scene and extrapolated some kind of hosed up theory about how young Luke is dead, replaced by Dark Side Clone Luke, who understands the world better than myopic Jedis because Good is Dumb.
