I forgot that like a fifth of this movie is the robots silently walking around the desert and a third of it is spent running back and forth across the same few Death Star sets.

A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

Barry Lyndon already existed and The Duelists came out this same year, there's really no reason for the swordfighting to be this stiff and bad.

Vader and Yoda both being goofy and quippy is great and the fact that people complained about it in Rogue One and The Last Jedi when it was totally accurate to the characters is just one more exhibit for how Star Wars fans don't actually like Star Wars.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie
I watched all 8 movies the weeks prior to ROS.

A New Hope fuckin owns. Sir Alec Guinness slays. "Obi-wan Kenobi. Obi-wan. Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. A long time."

You don't need movies and a TV show for his back story. Just the way he says that. You know some serious poo poo went down in his past and that it still haunts him.

Turns out it was 19 years. And he got real, real old in those 19 years.

I read a quote by Lucas once that due to John Williams' music, you could get the gist of the movies even if they had no dialogue.

Also, someone actually made "silent movie" (music only, decolorized) editions of the original trilogy. I watched them a few years ago, and they work surprisingly well.

Like the whole rear end first act of Ep IV drags quite a bit and also when Vader enters the corvette and surveys the bodies he has his hands on his hips like he's a saucy boy

I know you have been inconvenienced, and I am prepared to compensate you. Shall we say, one million American dollars?

Very well then, two million!

I feel like ~12 years ago I kept meeting women who had a big thing for Indiana Jones and Han Solo

and they tended to be pretty young, too

They made a version of Fury Road like that.
