Isaac posted:The fifth eleme nt is a better sci fi movie than star wars By a wide margin. Speaking of films influenced by Moebius, has anyone who read The Incal noticed any similarities between the arrival of the heroes to the underwater city on the Imperial Prison Planet looked an awful lot like the scene where Qui Gon and Ben arrive in the underwater Gungan city? Plus in The Incal, there is a scene where the council tries to call for a vote of No Confidence in the Emperoress.

Bobert Bobertson posted:who decides that the proper way to fight a bunch of robots is loving cloning slaves And why were they called The Clone Wars? They were the robot wars. The Trade Dispute Wars? Something like that. For that matter, why did Yoda call them The Clone Wars when they barely even started? You don't name a war soon as it starts, it's a history and hindsight thing usually. Did everyone adopt the name because Yoda said so? Did they just take everything that senile muppet said as gospel because he's so wise?

Also, you'd think that, considering the Jedi were on the side that eventually became the evil empire, their name would be mud with most of the citizens of the galaxy.

Official government documents started calling World War II that at least as early as 1942. I'm pretty sure the coalition and the Vietnamese started calling it the Vietnam War and the American War, respectively, really early on into it. Same with the Indochina War before that.

Automatic Slim posted:Ugh. Is that canon? http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_Lost_One quote:"A Jedi mission finds a lightsaber belonging to the long-dead Master Sifo-Dyas, prompting Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to begin an investigation into his decade-old disappearance. This sparks Darth Sidious to order Darth Tyranus to clean up any loose ends that may lead the Jedi to discover the truth of the Sith conspiracy." This is also the show that had Anakin duel Count Dooku about two dozen times over its run, and yet still went to ridiculous lengths to avoid him encountering Grievous. Because it's totally okay to say "My powers have doubled since we last me, Count!" in Revenge of the Sith, but seeing General Grievous before the film is just not allowed. A bold statement like that against Dooku loses all meaning if you've had a million fights with him before.

ok star wars nerds explain how 50 mil clones were an effective galaxy wide army. i know the correct answer is "lucas is a high functioning autist with no concept of scale" but I want the nerd wookiepedia insane rationalization.

So if we are looking to earth as an example that would leave one soldier to look over the entire earth. hm.

Double Monocle posted:ok star wars nerds explain how 50 mil clones were an effective galaxy wide army. Tell me where you got the 50 Million Clones number. The movies gave the army a size of 1.2 million, and the EU books only increased this slightly to three million before realizing they drove themselves into a corner and hastily came up with an excuse to explain the huge numbers seen in Revenge of the Sith.

I made the number up before when I asked why a planet dedicated itself to growing 50million clones, or whatever, without getting any sort of downpayment.

I still like Star Wars. Except the prequels. And Return of the Jedi. And much of Force Awakens and parts of A New Hope. But Empire is pretty much perfect and always will be.

In my last 40k campaign, my character left his feudal homeworld behind on the first spaceship he had ever seen, then was raped and murdered by dark eldar the first time he set foot on a different planet. 40k is great.
