PT Red Letter Media and other Prequel Reviews

none of those are films, neither is death note(madea is crap and barely qualifies as film).

for those saying it's a tragedy and therefore something entirely different; the tragedy is not different than the hero's journey. the name "the hero's journey" may be misleading, but it is entirely possible to have a tragic ending within that. it is just very hard to execute. a tragic ending still requires all that a happy ending does, only in opposite. technically they are not different. the problem is, as i have stated, that when the protagonist is not likable, and in combination with a downer ending, that never works. there are very few movies that adopts those two criteria successfully.

 

Anakin grew up with his mother til he was 10 or whatever. Then he got freed and his mother actively encouraged him to go and become a Jedi FACT. 10 years (or whatever) after that Anakin turns up looking for his mother FACT. Meets the Lars, Buries her at the homestead and then he's gone. FACT. Years after that Obi wan turns up, hands over the kid and then he's gone. Couple holding the kid turn to look at the twin suns. Credits roll.FACT. And I'm supposed to suspend my disbelief that Owen formed a genuine reason to be upset at Anakin going off to be a Jedi through THEM facts? where was the conversation with Anakin where he tells him he's upset at what he's doing? Anakin would've just said, 'what? Who the **** are you to tell me anything'. No, according to you Owen grew bitter over the years because he got lumbered with Anakins kid. He didnt grimace at the kid at the end of ROTS? And if he didnt want to have the burden, why didnt he just tell Obi wan 'thanks, but no thanks' He wasn't blood related to Luke? He's just the grandchild of a woman his dad married who died years ago.

 

If he did so, he would not get himself killed later or become Vader, and that's why he didn't want Luke to listen to Obi Wan, is it hard to understand?

 

What I think you are saying is that it is your opinion that Owen Lars thought Anakin should have left the Jedi order and moved to Tatooine. Is that an accurate assessment of your ( Slowpokeking's ) interpretation of the meaning of Owen's words?

 

Yeah that's right, you know I'm right and rather than answer me you continue with your pathetic argument.

 

Enough to give his opinion, actually you don't even have to watch PT to understand why Owen formed that thought and why.

Obi Wan said Luke's father was dead in EP IV, and it turns out Anakin is Vader in EP V and EP VI, so it's easy to figure out why Owen had such opinion, he thought if Anakin had stayed he would not die/become Vader, and he didn't want Luke to go to the same path. The PT did nothing to contradict it.

Why does Owen have to say anything to Vader?

 

So by your logic, Owen thought Anakin should have stayed on Tatooine as nobody rather than join the Jedi Order to fight for justice and peace, become a hero? Does it make more sense than the early one? But didn't you say it's stupid yourself?

What I've said is pretty much the most logical explanation base on OT's plot, and PT didn't do anything to contradict it.

 

I can't even argue anymore I don't even know what your talking about.And you don't either because your answers have become more and more incoherent. Your grammars terrible. Are you drunk?

 

Stay with me, Slowpokeking I'm asking you a question about your opinion. Do you ( Slowpokeking ) think that Owen Lars thought Anakin should have left the Jedi order and moved to Tatooine?

 

Wow, now you are out of words? I'm using the OT's fact to explain Owen's opinion, I don't know why is it so hard to understand for a so called OT fan.

 

Yes, Obi Wan even said Owen viewed it as some "damn fool idealistic crusade".

 

What's so special about movies? And they do have some movie adaptations, are they all crap?

 

Guys, chill. Personal attacks are NOT allowed. Only warning.

 

Stay with me now. Slowpokeking. Do you (Slowpokeking ) think that Owen Lars thinks that Anakin's home is the planet Tatooine?

 

It was never mentioned in the quote, it only mentioned "HERE", it could be or not be.

 

Just an FYI, but Death Note does, actually, have a film adaptation with a villain protagonist:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Note_(film)

Quite a number of people actually like it more than the manga and anime too.

 

Do you ( Slowpokeking ) think that Owen thought of Tatooine as Anakin's home?

 

What home does he have then? His mother is a slave. His mother is telling him to leave. You tell me what home he has

 

It was never told in OT, so it's not clear.

 

Fair enough. In the OT when Obi-Wan used the term "...should have stayed here..." to what geographic location do you (Slowpokeking )think he was referring?

 

Tatooine?

 

Like he was unhappy at being forced into looking after a kid that he was of no relation to.

 

Is that the geographic location you think he was referring to? I ask because you seem unsure.
