Here's another anecdote: A friend of mine had never seen any Star Wars movies at all. None of them. So we we showed him the OT and he liked them well enough.

Then we showed him the Prequels

I'll never forget his reaction. It was unhinged rage! A real and utterly loathing! He HATED these films! Just detested them! He wasn't a Star Wars fans to begin with and even HE could recognize the shortcomings of the prequels.

In short, it's stupid to bring up some lame anecdote to buttress your argument.

its weird to talk about yourself in third person

Why don't people just say this, then? Why blatantly lie and call it Coruscant, when the actual meaning meant to be conveyed is "a planet/system like Coruscant"?

because theyre trying to distance themselves from the prequels :evilbuddy:

Oh i'm not going to die on this hill. I'm totally fine admitting I'm wrong and that I've always heard it wrong.

I'm certainly not going to start a massive go-nowhere debate like is currently happening in the book barn thread.

this may be one of my favorite posts in any star wars thread ever:

homullus posted:

so it's your ex wing

you know, the funny thing is that it came with a smaller x wing with semicircle engines because they couldnt make the regular engines at that size. that kinda made the x wings from the sequel series a lot less impressive for me


now that i look at it again im wondering if it was meant to be some sort of prototype x wing or something

Haha yeah man, the guy who's been saying how much he's come to like the prequels recently is saying I wish Disney would ignore them. You got me.

Clones come from the OT. Sith is an OT thing. Do you not know Star Wars?

i might not remember it correctly but all the visuals in the coruscant scene were straight from the prequels. i think it counts. also come on, clones arent ot. no one thinks of the ot first when someone mentions clones

Can't it also be interpreted as it doesn't matter who they are. Your actions lead to you, and your choices are what matter. You have the ability to use the force, use it as you chose.

Lineage is overblown by the fandom. Luke and Leia matter because they are children of the chosen one/immaculate conception. Luke fulfills his role and helps redeem his father. After that they don't matter. He isn't the grand mega hyper jedi master of the EU.

Who were Obi Wans parents. Who were Palpatines parents? Who were Yodas parents? It doesn't matter and it never has.

it was a big deal because tfa made it a big deal not the fandom

Who literally “nods off” during a movie? I mean, any movie that you deliberately attend after purchasing tickets? Not even a chick flick or boring art-house movie, but a major action-adventure film of a colossal franchise that you’re obviously interested in enough to attend. I’m going to go ahead and say you didn’t literally almost fall asleep during the movie, then storm out of the theater in anger. Instead, I’ll guess you wanted to breathlessly overstate your fake indifference to earn Edgelord points on the internet.

That, or you’re narcoleptic. Those are the only two realistic scenarios, based on your ripping yarn of falling asleep during Star Wars.

This is the worst loving thread.

its insanely hosed up, that people use hyperbole on the internet

i dont think luke pulling a lightsaber on ben is some great betrayal of his character or anything. he resisted the dark side in episode 6 but that doesnt mean its gone forever and can never influence him again. the temptation to take the easy solution is always going to be there

on the subject of luke i do think its kinda weird that hes all "haha you didnt kill me :smug:" and then he dies anyway. it kinda ruins the moment a bit
