JCC Embrace The FU - Formerly the STAR WARS IS BAD thread

Untrue.
Lego Star Wars is entertaining.

 

We're all in denial, even the people accusing others of denial, even me, we will never fully internalize the cold reality that the only good Star Wars movie is Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress.

you've been dead since 1983.

 

I've always said if you could somehow combine Flash Gordon, The Hidden Fortress and The Dam Busters into a single film, you'd have the perfect movie.

Ghost, VLM - has anyone ever told you two you miss the point of this thread.

It's not about general Star Wars news. It's about browbeating prequel fans into submission, watching Wocky out himself as someone who has seen the films once a long time again, and affirming everything is bad.

Understanding the Star Wars films as analogous to these boards, Disney's new trilogy has been like someone who just keeps hitting post while the board claims it hasn't loaded, and then refreshing to discover they've actually just said the exact same thing five or six times in a row.

 

Except in this analogy you also buy all the other posts for US$60 billion so every new post is ultimately just being compared to some other post you own the, uh, post distribution rights to, and also your shareholders are somewhat pleased but you're still hemorrhaging money on those Arena investments which are tanking alongside the rest of the, er, sports post market, and maybe that's okay because you just locked up basically the entire Amph post market, other than some pesky Warner Brothers fi- discussion threads, and maybe now you're looking to expand into Senate.

 

For those of us who haven't heard it, can you regale us with the tale of how back in 2003 you were looking for a site about star gazing, or star trek, or starring contests, accidentally stumbled into a site about Star Wars, then stuck around here for a further 14 years?

Well at least years after the PT Lucas came clean:

"Congratulations on pulling off an amazing show. Don’t tell anyone … but when ‘Star Wars’ first came out, I didn’t know where it was going either. The trick is to pretend you’ve planned the whole thing out in advance. Throw in some father issues and references to other stories — let’s call them homages — and you’ve got a series." - George Lucas

ok and?

 

That's cool. But the weasel probably pretends that was a joke, doesn't he? The top troll, we'll never get the truth out of him.

 

Jynn Erso : a character even more boring than Padme .

 

Women, amirite?

 

I still don’t understand how she grew up in the most radical faction of insurgents, was hailed as one its greatest warriors, but is somehow over-awed by the idea of fighting the Empire. What exactly was she doing all that time?

 

waiting for the re-writes .

 

wocky, i think you slept through the part where they explained that she was abandoned by saw when she was still a child and had basically been a vagabond since. with your particular case of movie theater narcolepsy you'd think you'd just accept that you're gonna miss a few things.

 

Jyn was found by Saw Gerrera when she was 12. 18 years later she reemerged, gathered some followers, and died for the sins of the galaxy.

 

Fighting the Empire and losing.

 

We know, mate.

We know.

 

Wocky sleeps through movies because, like a computer, when left unattended for more than 15 minutes, he goes into sleep mode.
