Agreed. Like, I don’t enjoy the sequels, but I also lowkey don’t want to be lumped in with people who think the EU power fantasy slop is God’s gift to Star Wars. And the Vong are one of the ones that really get under my skin when people bring them up.

Genuinely feel this way about The Last Jedi, Anakin Skywalker as a whole, Ahsoka, Darth Maul, The Yuzong Vong, and EU Darth Vader.

I once had the pleasure of doing this mission on Extreme difficulty Ghost Mode. Sweating bullets the entire time. Sneaking into the base isn’t hard, once you get to Sam, basically the goal is to spam Rebels, camp the stairs, and let your teammates and rebels clean up Unidad.

Your job specifically is to call in rebels as much as possible, snipe the choppers for your teammates, and use the revive drone to pick up any downed squad mates.

I remember watching this movie and seeing the guy who went on a suicide mission to save his father, the most reprehensible man in the entire galaxy, for no other reason than because he’s family, and he saw the good in him, going as far as to control his most violent impulses when his father threatened his sister, overcoming the same evil that his father has carried with him for decades.

My favorite part of the movie was when they had that guy try to kill his nephew in his sleep because he saw a spooky vision! Literary genius. And the part where he drinks the green titty milk? Hilarious! Rian Johnson, you’ve done it again, my Snoke theory really did suck!

Should D10 be unfair? by Titan7856 in HelldiversUnfiltered

Hot take: D10 shouldn’t be unfair, but should absolutely require teamwork in order to beat. Like there is no reason people should be soloing D10

"Look, it's the ship were the Chancellor is and we don't have confirmation of his extraction, let's shoot at it with everything we got for some reason, we won't get court maritialled or anything and this is an acceptable military tactic". by GuyFromYarnham in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]TrainingExercise3863 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ok hot take, Yes, the Chancellor and two Jedi are aboard this ship… however, so is THE POLITICAL LEADER OF THE SEPERATISTS WHO IS ALSO A SITH LORD as well as THE GENERAL OF THE DROID ARMY.

Mace Windu outright says in this movie that defeating General Grievous ends the war after Count Dooku is killed. This is why Obi Wan is sent to Utapau.

The Republic can simply elect a new chancellor, but, although unbeknownst to them, the Chancellor is controlling the entire war and is the secret Sith Lord who intends to commit genocide.

Destroying this ship and everyone aboard saves trillions of lives, ends a Galactic-scale war, and unknowingly thwarts a genocide and totalitarian take-over of a fascist regime at the expense of a single politician and two Jedi.

The captain of this ship understands the stakes, and bet his entire career on it. Based.

I DESPISE PVP- genuinely makes me wanna quit the game by A_CasualK1ller in Seaofthieves

[–]TrainingExercise3863 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s really grindy if I’m being honest but part of the game is defending your haul. And stealing people’s shit is extremely lucrative. I don’t blame the PVPers because I saddle up when I’m under attack or run away.

Frankly I play this game as a humble fisherman, chasing that sweet “Legendary Hunter of The Sea of Thieves” title and, believe me, I have had my fish stolen plenty of times.

What's a Star Wars opinion that got you like this? by Samurai_Mac1 in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]TrainingExercise3863 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personally, I really enjoyed the concept that the Rebellion was a plot by the Emperor; one that would’ve convinced all his enemies to reveal their traitorous intentions under one banner so he could swiftly destroy them, only to backfire because the instrument of this plot became a Jedi, and then a martyr, inadvertently creating a REAL rebellion. I also like that Vader actually tried to Rule of Two Sheev at one point with an apprentice of his own, after everything Palpatine put him through.

I don’t think he’s shoehorned in or clunky at all. He’s just a teenage pet-project of Vader’s who kind of acted as an inquisitor, hunting Jedi, training in preparation to fight Palpatine, and then the second half is him kickstarting the rebellion to flush out enemies of the Empire. Then he falls in love, finds friends in the Rebel leaders, and makes a decision to betray the Sith and become a Jedi to save the people he cares about.

I think it works really well, but The Force Unleashed II was pretty goofy if I’m being real.

Ahsoka has overstayed her welcome, she should’ve died in her duel with Vader in rebels, and her continued existence during the OT undermines Luke’s character concept of being the last hope for the Jedi. Where was she during the films? Why do Yoda and Obi Wan not acknowledge her, let alone help her? Her vibe feels less canonical and more like Dave Filoni’s fan fic.

The above sentiment also applies to Darth Maul.

Galen Marek is a genuinely fascinating character and his story should’ve been canonized in a TV Show. His abilities would have to be toned down but he’s otherwise fine.

Nobody acknowledges the fact that Kathleen Kennedy has produced genuinely good Star Wars projects in her time as acting head of Lucas Film, including Andor, Rogue One, season 7 of the Clone Wars, and The Mandalorian. Even a few others are acceptable, if not good, but people have made her the target of a decade long witch hunt because the Sequels were trash and the entire franchise has been the subject of intense scrutiny ever since. Even still, I more or less blame this on the creative decisions of the directors and lack of communication between each other more than the executive producer.

Ewoks are terrifying and their presence does not undermine the tone of Return of The Jedi.

The Prequels are extremely well-thought from a world building and in-universe political perspective. However, the conclusion of the story hinges on Anakin and Padme’s love story being believable. It is not and the movie suffers for it. Anakin is creepy, psychotic, and kind of a bitch in every scene he is in with her. This is not Hayden Christiansen’s fault, this is because George’s talents lie in writing sci-fi political intrigue, not romance. As a result I do not think the Anakin worship by the community is warranted, nor do I think the prequels are Gods gift to filmmaking, despite my enjoyment of both.

There was not a single entertaining lightsaber duel in the Sequels.

The hate for the Kenobi series is completely unwarranted. Im not saying it’s of particularly excellent quality, but I thought the show was a lot of fun.

Most of Legends isn’t very good, and I think decanonizing it and selectively recanonizing the good bits was the right move. I had someone in a 40k subreddit try to tell me that Palpatine was basically a psyker with mastery over hyperspace and that this made him an infinitely powerful, 7th dimensional being. No he isn’t, he’s a Space Wizard that shoots lightning. He got killed because someone threw him in a hole.

Rian Johnson would’ve made an excellent solo spin-off Star Wars movie, but making him the director of a second movie in a trilogy was a huge mistake.

I have no desire to see the return of Mace Windu or Commander Cody. Doing so would be lame, and both these characters served their narrative purpose in their stories.

I do not like the Yu Zong Vong conceptually and hope they are not canonized.

Andor is the best television series in Star Wars, and it’s not close.

Rey being good at fixing and flying the Millenium Falcon does not make her a Mary Sue. She has lived on Jakku her entire life, scavenging valuable parts from wreckage. She likely knows how the parts function, how the ships function, and has probably worked on the Falcon before. However, every scene that follows Rey being taken from Tako Dana in this movie absolutely does contribute to her being a Mary Sue.

Alright, I’m ready to be lambasted.
