guess all of the PR about loving Rian Johnson's movie was horseshit huh. Behind the scenes they were scrambling to undo everything he tried for lol

It's not about being a jedi it's about being The Chosen One.

Yoda is a support character who exists to help Luke, The Chosen One. Same with obi wan etc.

I didn't like TLJ but the core theme of bringing it back to truly humble origins was something that worked. It's incredibly funny that they chucked it all in the bin

He was just a "too evil even for Darth Vader" villain in ROTJ. The lovely prequels ruined him

Rewatching the phantom menace recently made me realize I like this movie more than the sequel trilogy plus spin offs lol. Wild. Some annoying parts but drat at least it went somewhere. The sequel trilogy I still have no idea who or why the first order is a thing

Interesting. Your brain doesn't work right. Whenever a thought forms in that rats nest it loses it's way, before spilling out of your gaping mouth twisted and deformed, embarrassing everyone in the vicinity on your behalf.

the prequels do not have "unique visual imagery"

if that's true then the bold and the beautiful is also a visual marvel. You are a culturally limited dweeb if you believe there is anything creative about the visuals in the loving phantom menace. gently caress you.

Wow who would have thought that the sequel likers are toxic. Maybe you should chill out.

Just so we are clear, I hate everything Star Wars but A New Hope and feel that is the only film in this cursed IP that should exist.

I think the title "a new hope" is bad and still call it "Star Wars" but i'm not going to get mad if you want to call it "A new hope"

Retconning the title of "Star Wars" was the very first sign of the rot that would consume the franchise.

Yes, and that is why it surprised me more that he hyped them up again in interviews, while knowing the whole time that they don't do anything in TROS.

But then again, this is the guy who denied that Benedict Cumberbatch was playing Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness.

There were extensive reshoots so maybe they were a thing and disney execs killed them

The dead speak! The galaxy has heard a mysterious broadcast, a threat of REVENGE in the sinister voice of the late EMPEROR PALPATINE.

GENERAL LEIA ORGANA dispatches secret agents to gather intelligence, while REY, the last hope of the Jedi, trains for battle against the diabolical FIRST ORDER.

Meanwhile, Supreme Leader KYLO REN rages in search of the phantom Emperor, determined to destroy any threat to his power…

I didn’t really read much romantic tension between them in the first movie. They act more like kids who are each other’s first friend at school.

No really. Go watch TFA again. THere's even a scene where old man Han smirks about Finns boyish crush and offers advice on how to woo her. It's really, REALLY obvious.

The OT does enough work to establish things like: The Empire had a senate but moved to a true empire, the rebellion is closely aligned with the senate, the Empire does not have complete control of the universe nor is it culturally supported only through military means can it maintain power, independent worlds have considerable leeway and the Empire isnt all powerful, the heroes are fighting for a return to republicansim as a form of government, the previous republic was not free of military conflict, etc.

Basically you get exactly enough background to make episodes 4-6 intuitively make sense as to what each side wants, their limitations, and their sources of funding and strength. In the sequel trilogy apparently the capital planet getting blown up means the new republic stopped existing because.........?

Oh right you mean in the sense of coming up with a plausible backstory for the conflict. Yeah it's ridiculous how the first order just kind of exist and have enough resources to destroy suns because [insert reason]

I hated that scene because the CG was so bad it genuinely looked like a video game. Like I'm not saying that as a "lol video game" thing, I mean it legitimately looked like a cutscene from Fallen Order.
