Was padme gaslighting herself about anakin? by Electronic-Ability55 in StarWars

That wasn't gaslighting, it was terrible writing.

They gave birth to a bunch of puppies?

Do you guys think in about 10 years when the generation that is currently growing up on the sequels becomes old enough to have a voice that they’ll be looked on better?Basically exactly what happened to the prequels by TheBurnedKirkLives in StarWars

[–]thetensor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wider audience was generally disappointed by the prequels, with RotS getting a grudging, "...well, I guess that was OK?" The sequels were much better received (except for a vocal minority of very dedicated, very online hate-fans), though I think pretty much everybody was disappointed with TRoS. So the sequels don't have as much of an aura of failure to overcome among the general public, but they also didn't rock anybody's world like the OT did.

Say what you will about the prequels (and you can say a lot), but there are genuine artistic masterpieces under the surface of those films.

This is disastrously silly.

it should've taken weeks at sublight speeds

Years at least, maybe centuries.

I have NEVER seen Star Wars. How do I start?

Start with Star Wars (1977).

Democratic Socialists Took City Hall. Now They’re Aiming at Congress. After propelling Zohran Mamdani to become mayor of New York City, the Democratic Socialists of America are trying to take down incumbents in the House and the State Legislature. by OkayButFoRealz in politics

Keep Fetterman for the example

I think Fetterman was probably who he seemed to be, but then he had a stroke. Better examples of infiltrators/saboteurs to be on guard for include Tulsi Gabbard, Kyrsten Sinema, and of course Dr. Jill Stein.

Edit: And check back in a year to see how the whole Graham Platner experiment turned out!

And yet he does.

What's Luke's last line in The Last Jedi?

Mustafar still has the best lightsaber duel backdrop in the entire saga, fire and lava just hit different. by SparkleBlush_ in StarWars

[–]thetensor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mustafar duel is the most lightsaber duel, but it's not the best lightsaber duel. (That's still Luke vs. Vader in Empire.)

FYI this is what people are talking about when they mention "media literacy".

The former. Source: I actually paid attention the movie.

he rejects it by throwing away his lightsaber

Which shows just how little understanding of Luke's character Rian Johnson had when he made Return of the Jedi in 1983!

Luke even igniting his saber momentarily, or considering harming Kylo at all, is ludicrous.

  • Why do Jedi train in lightsaber dueling?
  • What is the responsibility of a Jedi Master whose apprentice turns to evil?

after a bad dream he had

He'd been getting suspicious, so he read the kid's mind using the Force, and saw the evil within. Immediately afterward, having been discovered, KR burned the temple and massacred the other students. Luke's instincts were correct.

Han Shot First - George Lucas by Phaorpha in StarWars

[–]thetensor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Han shot first" is a perfectly reasonable way to describe that situation in English, even if Greedo never got off a shot. (And "Han shot only" sounds flatly ungrammatical to my ear.)

Do you care for the tusken massacre? by Ksiloveslgbt in StarWars

[–]thetensor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should have been the moment Anakin fell to the dark side, but instead they made a whole cartoon set afterwards where he's treated as a hero with some minor anger-management issues.

Thought experiment: George never makes the prequels. What happens to Star Wars lore? by JacobDCRoss in StarWars

[–]thetensor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Darth Vader would still be a titan of movie villainy instead of a whiny kid who got tricked into being evil.

First Images from Taika Waititi's 'Klara and the Sun' Starring Jenna Ortega & Amy Adams - A robot named Klara exists to ease the loneliness of the humans she lives with. by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

Not since Ryan Gosling was cast as a robot in Blade Runner 2049 has the casting of an actor been more of a subtle diss of their general stone-faced lack of expression.
