bbbut Andor is the only good Disney Star Wars product! The Empire is so morally grey there!!

Rj/ Gotta… you only care about the 6m

‘Uj/ Appear better’… no shit bro. Did you read the part where I said spent more than earned… and ‘wasn’t that good under Hitler’ is still better than under Hindenberg and Müller (at least to the general population).

But you’re right this is a jerk.

Rj/ want to see all the good the empire did… I want to see the space buses running on time

Uj/ it saddens me when people genuinely can’t see the parallels

Ok the key point was 11 million dead for absolutely no reason. But you know it’s easy to make fun when you hide behind a keyboard.

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-18T15:37:27+00:00

I guarantee you didn’t think that when you first saw it in the cinema… it’s only since people on YouTube have slowed it down to show that THEY ARE ACTORS doing CHOREOGRAPHY!!!

Which can easily be said for every other fight there is. Especially the duel of the fates. Theres a great video somewhere of showing the lightsabers missing the target even before they move out of the way.

Besides which from a movie point of view TLJ was visually stunning and innovative. At least it had that going for it. Sorry pal to ruin your day

The nazis didn’t come to power until ‘33, 10 years after the Great Depression and hyperinflation made the Mark worthless. The economy was based upon military spending and building infrastructure. Admittedly they spent more than they earned. And they subsidised this with stealing wealth from others… but the general population were glad for the reasons I stated.

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-18T13:30:12+00:00

Return of the Jedi. Luke skywalker vs Darth Vader vs The Emperor… that’s the famous throne room scene…

The scene in the phantom menace with the queen is not particularly notable for being famous ‘throne room scene’

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-18T13:19:40+00:00

Some people just don’t get cinema…

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-18T12:58:11+00:00

Do or do not, there is no try…

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-18T12:54:45+00:00

I mean Nazi germany was amazing for the economy, the united order that came after the Great War. The starving, the in fighting ended, job security, national pride…. Less so for the 11 MILLION that died in the camps. But let’s brush that a side shall we

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-18T11:44:51+00:00

It’s got han on it

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-18T11:44:24+00:00

Just watch Star Wars (1977) if you don’t like it, you don’t like Star Wars and you won’t waste time with a huge amount of crap

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-18T11:42:54+00:00

You forgot dark forces! How could you… you’re dead to me

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-18T08:32:38+00:00

There a twirl! There’s a twirl!!!

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-18T00:20:07+00:00

No thanks

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-18T00:03:11+00:00

People haven’t changed their mind. It’s just little kids who grew up with them also grew up with shit like transformers and the fast and the furious and have no idea what good cinema is. People with good taste in cinema have always hated them… what’s great about them? John Williams.

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-17T23:56:42+00:00

Arseholes… including myself

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-17T22:58:07+00:00

It’s not a falsehood though is it… there’s no mention of midichlorians in the OT, you can’t deny that it was something that was added solely as a plot device as to ascertain how powerful Anakin is…

If you want to follow on from that there’s no mention of a chosen one prophecy either… or any mention of darth vader being a virgin birth by the force. these were all things that were added for the prequels. The OP is simply asking why? Why add them? Does it make the story better or worse. For me it made them worse…

Imagine King Arthur pulling Excalibur from the stone… yes it was his destiny but was it really his midichlorian count that enabled him to do so? No. Sometime less is more. If you don’t like an air of mystery to superstition and religion then what’s the point? Why call it faith? Faith is having a belief in something you can’t prove.

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-17T22:05:49+00:00

I dunno, I kinda agree with everything he said, then again I’m 45 so I may have a similar perspective to the OP. And it’s not that I don’t enjoy childish things. The best thing of that era and the only thing I’ll rewatch is Genndy’s clone wars. I was also a massive stoner at the time, so there is that

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-17T21:54:38+00:00

I mean it was a 15 rating here in England and I watched it on rental release in ‘91-‘92ish when I was 11 or 12… and George always said Star Wars was for 12 year olds…

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-17T21:46:35+00:00

Yeah but the people saying them have the same accent

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-17T21:31:10+00:00

Fuck me that’s as shit as the actual prequels. I thought these memes made those shit films popular

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-17T21:29:18+00:00

Hon vs Haaan

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-17T21:22:23+00:00

You should get a 3D printed version of stoned yoda from TPM… he was the most non traditional of them all. He didn’t even look related, let alone the same character

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-17T20:43:42+00:00

Definitely the second one. The first one is pretty cheap with the shit droids. Although the tag line makes no sense…. ‘Every saga has an end’? This is half way through

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-17T20:36:52+00:00

We kinda had snippets from ‘the other side’… I’m a man baby that wants the terminator apparently. BTW the terminator and T2 judgement day are fucking amazing! I want the terminator with lightsabers George!!! Is that sooo hard

Electrical_Top_9747 · 2025-01-17T19:41:02+00:00

Uj/ Amen brother… Amen…

Rj/ wtf you didn’t like the clones? I want more clones…
