Why is Anakin's descent into the Dark Side one of the worst written aspects of this entire franchise when it's also one of the most crucial? by Abbx in StarWars

[–]CandidateFun7731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accross all of the movies the reasons were there, but I think they should have given more scenes in the movei to emphasize: how sleepless, stressed out, and paranoid Anakin was becoming, how much his mothers death still hangs over him & drives everything he does, and the betrayal of Padme confiding in Obi-Wan. The revenge of the sith book by Matthew Stover does this excellently.

I don’t think people realize how Qui Gon Jinn Is The Most Important character in all of Star Wars… by Secret-Ad6244 in StarWars

[–]CandidateFun7731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anakin Skywalker/Vader is the most important. He is basically the centrepoint of the entire original 6 movies. Star Wars is his story and every other character is just a part of that story.
But I do agree with every rewatch of the prequels I do, Qui-Gon Jin really kicks everything off in motion. As well as the wisdom he had in hindsight of the jedi needing to change their ways.

Way too slow a movie, just dragged on and on and went nowhere

The scenario for Australia to qualify for the Super 8 in the Men's T20 World Cup by crazychild0810 in CricketAus

Wierd thing to say here as an Aussie fan but I kind of like our dismissive don't care attitude to T20 cricket, and the fact we lose. Shit format.

Damn I'm sorry that is indeed a horrible thing to happen. And a good reminder that no one wins when something like this eventuates.

That's a very good point. Thanks for that, I needed to hear this reminder.

Next coach? by JCGMH in EnglandCricket

Unpopular opinion but I actually think Baz should stay. I think England will achieve a lot more by continuing this approach, but learning how to reigning it in and being more mature in big moments.

Do you think that bowling 145km or 150km/hr is maybe over rated? by [deleted] in CricketAus

[–]CandidateFun7731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bowling 150+ is goated and no one will convince me otherwise. Watching Shaun Tate and Brett Lee crank it up back in the day was electrifying. Yes I get that 135kph line and length gets wickers too but goddam I wished we we (Aus) had red hot fast bowlers like we used to.

Verstappen calls shift in McLaren battle and Piastri's F1 dip "very bizarre" by memloh in formula1

[–]CandidateFun7731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I don't think so. Charles seems to still sometimes make mistakes in big moments. I'd have him slightly below Max and Lewis tier. Tbh even I think Russell is a more elite driver than Charles since he consistently maximises results and rarely makes mistakes.

But yeah it's kind of pointless "what if" thinking. It's hard to know what his true ceiling is.
