Kloaked00 posted:It wasn't necessarily cruel, it's more that Lucas comes off as being a dick to one of his fans. What would have been so terrible about Lucas saying instead, "Luke starts training new Jedi in his own order, Leia becomes the head of the new Senate, Han is now the First Gentleman and gets to hang out with Lando, while Chewbacca got the Millennium Falcon and still makes delivery runs but with honest cargo." Nothing, but they died.

GreenBuckanneer posted:I don't like or appreciate Michael bay style "cinematics for the sake of having an explosion" what star wars needs is something more intellectual, Have you ever seen a loving Star Wars movie? They're all about emotion over intellect. I love this beautiful dissonance fans of science fiction have where in retrospect everything they ever liked turns into The Wire.

Supercar Gautier posted:The dichotomy between intellectualism and action is a false one. I don't think they are exclusive, or even at odds, particularly. I also don't think that vague notions of 'intellectual' credibility were ever a prerequisite to Star Wars.

The guy who posted this telling SMG to put more thought into his posts is really funny.jivjov posted:Just to a little bit, the Dejarik table was featured in Episode IV, during the flight from Tatooine to Alderaan. Star Wars is a series that has a significant, prominent group of it's fans model themselves after the series' evil, jackbooted, facist soldiers. If the new movies can inspire anything as funny as that I'll consider them a success. Alternatively, if J.J. Abrams goes to a Star Trek fan convention and tells someone that 'they died' I will also be satisfied. Shirkelton fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Feb 2, 2013 |

It's cool that there are people so unhinged and neurotic that they will spend hundreds of posts desperately trying to reason with a man they consider a worthless troll, in order to get him to take their feelings about fake spaceships seriously.

sassassin posted:No one who is a big fan of that game's writing has ever seemed to have actually read it. Usually they give glowing praise to complexity that doesn't exist (it uses a far-more simplistic Jedi=Good, Sith=Bad world-view than any of the movies), and bemoan the rushed schedule that destroyed a potential masterpiece (all the restored cut content is garbage that was cut for good reason). Actually, that's not true.

Imagined posted:By tying themselves to the continuity of the old films, they retroactively attack their predecessors with ideas like the mysterious Clone Wars actually being the Republic's clones (no nation has ever names a war after their own side i.e. we call it the "Vietnam War" the Vietnamese call it "The American War"), Hmmm, interesting. Also interesting is that much like the Jedi, Star Wars fans who think like this should be ambushed and slaughtered in droves.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:I went to the Die Hard marathon when A Good Day To Die Hard came out, and while I enjoyed watching the first 4 in a theater, the new one (which I was really interested in seeing) turned out to be loving terrible, and I was really starting to feel the effects of sitting in one spot for that long during Live Free Or Die Hard, so I'd probably never do one of those marathons again. I saw King Kong in the cinema and a guy kept laughing behind me and I had to turn around and tell him to cut it out because people died on Skull Island.
