business hammocks posted:And I’ve never liked the prequels but find the level of grousing about them excessive, as if they are fundamentally incompetent in the Ed Wood sense rather than being ambitious departures from some basic storytelling rules that Lucas wasn’t up to pulling off and which have some baffling and stupid elements peppered through them. Don’t talk poo poo about Ed Wood like that

homullus posted:So, right there in the opening crawl we get that Naboo is small and outlying, and that the taxation was on trade routes to such systems. The Trade Federation stops shipping to Naboo. Very few protest lower taxes and the Trade Federation is greedy (i.e. wants more money), so the clear inference is that it is an increased tax on imports. Wow. Riveting stuff. A wall O’ text at the beginning of a Star Wars movie talking about taxation and trade disputes.

Bongo Bill posted:The Trade Federation wants money and they want the Naboo to give it to them, in a legal manner. They are pressuring Naboo by refusing to trade with them (a boycott) and preventing anybody else from trading with them (a blockade). It's possible to pressure Naboo in this way because the Trade Federation provides things that they need; Bibble tries to get Amidala to come back by mentioning that people are starving. It’s all so boring.

Ammanas posted:Mark Hamill is really, really good in TLJ. His meeting with Leia is remarkable in it's depth of emotion portrayed almost exclusively through expression. He's never been a great actor but his performance (especially given middling material) is shocking and underrated. Hamil is a great actor when doing voice work. His Joker perfect.

Qui Gon would’ve been completely justified just killing Watto outright and freeing them both. He’s a loving slave owner. gently caress him.

Pops Mgee posted:They each have one Sith Lord kill. Anakin technically has 2 but there's a 25 year gap between the 2. Given that there are never more than 2 running around at a time that's still a pretty good rate. I think when Obi Wan said that the only kill they have between them is Maul, an apprentice.
