Bulkiest Toaster posted:One of these things (what/who is snoke and what are his goals are) is a pretty fundamental element for why a war is happening in your star wars trilogy. You mean like how the OT totally explained what\who Palpatine was and what his goals were, other than being Very Evil?

The non-naturalistic dialogue of the prequels makes sense when you consider that not a single one of the featured characters has lived life in conditions that anyone could describe as natural.

Zoran posted:Anakin consistently empathizes with droids and treats them as friends and equals, whereas his mentor Obi-Wan is a tremendous racist—a clue that even teenage Anakin is more than just an ungrateful poo poo and that the Jedi have some terrible prejudices. Shout-outs to that one episode of Clone Wars where a very distraught Anakin has lost R2D2, his friend for decades, and Obi-Wan comforts him by saying "who cares just get a new one lol"

Caros posted:You realize that refusing to tell her visibly shaken and demoralized crew about her plan is what led to Poe and Finn heading off on their own. That if she'd just replied 'There is an old rebel base up ahead, we are going to ditch the ship there and make the first order think they killed us.' rather than 'You need to trust me even as we lose ship after ship with no plan in sight' that he probably would have gone along with it. They were just chased through hyperspace, previously thought impossible - the logical conclusion is that they either have hitherto unrevealed technology enabling them to do so, or a spy. The possibility of the latter necessitates keeping tight-lipped about the plan.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:His conclusion is, like, “Anakin was really strong.

Luke's moment of true heroism in ROJ is when he doesn't kill Vader, and the point of TLJ is that he doesn't get that a lot of people are confused and hurt by this being the structure of the story because they, also, don't get that

ungulateman posted:me3's ending is actually symbolically really good - the three endings are a literalisation of the choice-wheel you've been using the whole time (there's a reason the beams are red, blue and green). the overall structure of the series, however, is all about hand-waving whenever a choice-wheel is used because nobody wants to write three or more radically different narratives depending on the players' choice, every time they make a decision. I feel like this is maybe under-appreciative of the breadth of the branching storylines in the ME trilogy. Like yeah, the main plot is still basically the same, but there's so, so, so many different stories among the groups of characters of that game. The ending felt bad because your choices actually mattered a lot up until that point. Maybe not the right thread for this, though.
