Okay, how about this: Rey and Kylo face off against the Emp. Emp force rips out Kylos balls and Reys ovaries, uses the force to squash them into superdense protoplasm which quantum tunnels its way back though time to land in Shmi’s womb to be born as the mystery baby with no father Anakin Skywalker?

Imagine Kylo's balls on the edge of a cliff. Time works the same way.

We apologise again for the fault in the sequels. The directors of the firm hired to continue the sequels after the other people had been sacked, wish it to be known that they have just been sacked. The sequels have been completed in an entirely different style at great expense and at the last minute.

I love the whole "the saga will end" bullshit of the trailer, as if it's going to be the last ever star war.

Yep. Disney built a theme park that's half New Order and half Resistance.

It won't even be the end of either one of those.

The first time I remember Empire being discussed as the best was in Clerks, viz:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iQdDRrcAOjA&t=15s

I don't know if it helped establish or was reflecting the nerd consensus.

The last time I got asked which one was the best as a SW litmus test was in 1998 (by a guy who'd never seen Clerks).

OK. a friend of mine is generally geeky, but has somehow never seen any Star Wars*.

what's the consensus on viewing order? Machete order? I've discussed this with other giant goddamn dorks, but never expected it to actually come up in real life.

the blogger that invented machete order explicitly founded it on the idea that Star Wars is Luke’s story and the Anakin stuff was just an excursus to explain the “I am your father” stuff. But this was in 2011. The sequels put paid to that notion. Star Wars is about how the galaxy sucks rear end, war is a racket, lasting peace is unachievable, civilization disintegrates and good people fall into evil before occasionally, temporarily backsliding (frontsliding?) into good. Also merchandising.

I worked with a black gentleman who had an understandable distaste for the first leading black man in a star war having "fear and running away" as a major component of his characterization after TFA came out.

My bff and his kids just generally cashed out based on the "Droid, please!" scene. (And the ten minutes that lasted forever at the end of the film, to be fair.)

Lots of Imperials have a British accent. I still don't understand why Boyega had to change his to play Finn.

Don't Imperial Officers tend to have British accents and the Stormtroopers tend to be American?

I didn't think about that. Good point.

Or maybe him being British would clash too much with Rey's accent?

But I assumed it was this.

I loving hate the changes to that scene and it has always blown my mind that people are okay with it. Instead of speaking to a mysterious shadowy perhaps inhuman figure, Vader is now speaking to some guy on a sitcom set. And that doesnt even get into the dialogue changes that were done because they assumed you were watching the movies out of order.

the original Emperor visual was apparently an elderly woman with chimp eyes cut in. and the voice actor was different, which I never realized.

A Star Trek fan is someone who loves Gene Roddenberry; a Star Wars fan is someone who hates George Lucas.
