mind the walrus posted:I genuinely lol at anyone dumb enough to like the prequels. The OT ain't any great shakes but seriously the prequels are dogshit. Say waht you will about the Star Wars franchise, but the first film is a great movie. Like, not even a taste issue, it's just a very well put together film.

I saw this target ad on fb for the build your own lightsaber toy and the comments from all the upset fans we're all you need to know about what's coming in the next few months. I will be waiting for the vod release so I can watch it in the privacy of my own home away from these horrible people.

Well yeah. Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, and everything about Return of the Jedi that isn't about the Ewoks are legit movies. They're just not as good as fans proclaim they are--and bear in mind they're really loving good so think about how high the hyperbole is for me to say that.

I like the part where Atkins wins the chariot race at the space Colosseum where the horses are jet engines instead of horses. I exclaimed "now THIS is chariot racing!" at the exact moment that Anansi was like "Now this is plorg racing!" I also liked when instdead of spiked chariot wheels it was lasers. Later, Quagmire Jin used magic to cheat at gambling so that a human trafficking deal could go his way, ultimately setting in motion a chain of events that would lead to the destruction of an entire planet and hundreds of millions of deaths.

It's no surprise pog racing was so popular on Tatoonie. It looked like a lot of fun to sit in some bleachers in the middle of a desert and wait for rocket cars to go by and imagine the exciting adventures they were having out of sight, and maybe watch them on the holo-jumbotron while you died of heatstroke.

Everyone has to admit those robots that rolled around in a ball shape and unfolded were pretty cool and actually the high point of the movie.

There's slavery on Tatooine in the prequels, but it's not mentioned in the original series. Do you think the Empire banned slavery?

It seemed like the empire did a lot of good things. Nobody ever gives it credit for getting the space trains to run on time. Emperor Palpitation did nothing wrong.

I look forward to the new movie where they go out of their way to make space fascists sympathetic and appealing, and when people rightfully point out how creepy that is it'll get defended with "but they're just doing their job!"

A lot of people believed in the empire because it promised to return a sense of dignity to a people who had suffered greatly. The Galactic Weimar Republic was in an economic crisis that left the galaxy desperate. A lot of people got swept up in the fervor without fully realizing what they were doing. By the time the Death Star was built, it was too late to turn back. As long as the movie doesn't veer into Alderaan denial territory (the planet exploded on its own, really?) I'm willing to accept the humanization of the Empire.

I mean yeah the Alderaan denialists make some points it's hard to refute. In order for the Death Star to completely obliterate Alderaan, the superlaser would have had to have a throughput of 6.67x10^27 watts. A beam of that magnitude would have vaporized the emitter and the entire Death Star long before it vaporized a planet the size of Alderaan. The math doesn't add up. But it makes even less sense that a planet with no weapons would blow up on its own.

Also, if the empire did want to destroy planets, why go through the trouble of building a huge and expensive giant laser when they could have diverted a massive asteroid into Alderaan's orbit for a fraction of the cost in energy and resources? I'm not saying Alderaan didn't happen, but I think it's time we questioned the official story.

The Empire didn't take control by force, they were given the authority. Setting a universal currency, switching to the metric system. Those drat rabble-rousers trying to blow everything up and "stick it to the man", they're the criminals. All because they were told to cut their hair and get a job.
