Yaws posted:Bongo Bill often retreats into this idea that the prequels are hated by fans solely because they simply failed to deliver what fans were expecting. This whole idea hinges on the fact that the Star Wars prequels offered some radical departure from the OT and fans just weren't ready for it. It's a loving pretentious, naive and easily dispelled notion. The prequels were amateur hour from the first film from top to loving bottom. From a writing, directing and acting standpoint. And this carries throughout the entire PT. Unfortunately for you, Bongo Bill is 100% right. Well, 90%, the Prequels are also not as good as the OT. Still good, not as good, but somehow this is worse thanks to overhype and sky-high expectations leading to a completely irrational backlash that lasts to this day. As proof, people who discover the Star Wars prequels without baggage usually don't have the same weird hatred. They either liked them or didn't like them like normal movies.

Wandle Cax posted:The backlash may be irrational but more irrational is the bizarre reverse backlash where people say they are really good Not really. The average audience reaction when the movies came out was that they were decent enough, if a bit disappointing due to being more flawed than the originals. This is historical fact, thanks to audience appreciation polls and general records.

Luke will lead the Jedi counter-reformation, training Jeduits, while Rey will eventually lead a true Jedi Reformation.

I love the scene in the crashed Star Destroyer, which reminded me a lot of the wrecked ship at the end of the Valerian comic Empire of a Thousand Planets.

Once it was pointed out that none of the racist caricatures in the prequels are actually racist caricatures, they're just people with accents, I can't unsee how weird the reaction to them is. No, seriously. People just really hate accents.

Now I also see a parallel to After War Gundam X, with D.O.M.E. saying that "Newtypes are an illusion" being similare to Luke rejecting the old Jedi ways.

Am I the only one who wants Ron Howard to narrate Solo? SOLO: I got thrown out of the academy for having a mind of my own. NARRATOR: Actually, he had been thrown out for drunkenly crashing a ship into the barracks.

I prefer the old Eu: as terrible as it got, it almost never failed to be interesting. While the new one is mostly boring. Also I prefer the overall arc up until the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, as it did have Luke try to make a new Jedi Order free of the mistakes of the old one, a New Republic that took more than a Death Star to kill and an attempt at a new villain instead of Palp 2.0. Of course, Canon is a lie and no one should care about continuity.

Jedi Knight Luigi posted:Who was that again? I haven’t read these books since 8th grade (but I did read all of them) Onimi, the Supreme Overlord's jester, turns out to be a disgraced shaper who gave himself force powers and was manipulating everything from behind the scenes. Unlike Palpatine, who was ambitious and evil, he was motivated by saving his people from what he saw as their doom. A different kind of evil.

Ingmar terdman posted:I have read that Lucas spent some time lorebuilding and writing a kind of cliffsnotes quasi-EU that ended up on a lot of toy boxes and card backs etc. Although it could have just been stuff from his notes for the movie - I've never seen an actual thing like "here's scans from the notebook where Lucas wrote up backstory". It's the kind of stuff that people have just seemed to know over the years (like Han rescuing Chewie etc.). Some of that stuff probably ended up in the Foster book. Yeah, Lucas would come up with lore and backstory for toys and stuff on the fly, as well as weird names like Elan Sleezebaggano. I remember his original backstory for Han Solo had him being kidnapped as a kid by space gypsies, rescued and raised by Wookies, joins the Imperial Academy, gets thrown out for crashing a ship during a stupid bet, becomes a smuggler and saves Chewbacca from slavers. That's from memory so not necessarily accurate, I couldn't find a good summary of the original Lucas backstory before the EU.

Ema Nymton posted:It's also odd to me how TPM establishes that Anakin was Space Jesus, but after that this fact becomes less and less important, to the point that I don't think Luke and Leia ever actually find out that they're 1/4 divine. In the current canon, we know Snoke wanted Kylo Ren for his delicious Skywalker blood and he overtly tells Kylo that Han Solo is the weaker part of him, but it's not clear if Snoke knows about the Skywalker divinity. I don't know if we'll ever hear anyone reference Vader's miracle birth ever again, even though it's really weird that no one cares about that. I like that. That knowledge was lost forever with the destruction of the Jedi and the fall of the Empire.
