ST ST Criticism Discussion Thread

Barely even abuse, then somebody's obtuse, unexpectedly

 

The scar that is running along his chest, neck and face, is supposed to be a lightsaber scar?

Maybe this is this how they were fighting each other at the end of TFA:

Spoiler

 

^^^ Yeah that scar looks weak AS. For some reason it took that still for me to notice how it looked on his chest.

I think JJ envisioned something more gnarly. The way his face looked at the end of TFA foreshadowed that.

 

I'm surprised RJ let the scar stay there........

 

Nicely put!

Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Painful Interrogations end
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Patricide brings facial scars
Fair to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Rey and the beast
Kylo Ren can change
Consoling me’s a surprise
I can save the day and Leia’s son will rise
He’s probably not the same
I can’t wait for this surprise
Luke’s all to blame
Of that I am as sure
As the sun will rise
Tale as old as time
Muscles shining fine
Bittersweet and strange
Finding he won’t change
Learning you were wrong
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Muscles shining fine
Rey and the beast
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Rey and the beast
Rey and the beast

And, yes, this is me making fun of them in the context of the song in case it’s not clear.

 

I mean, this looked pretty cool too, if I'm being honest.

 

Firstly, you are simply incorrect about the origin location of every single current religion being known. The origin location of Zoroastrianism, for instance, is only vaguely known, and the origins of Judaism meld into myth and legend. We know the locations of the Temple Mount, St Paul's Cathedral, Mecca, Medina, etc, because the areas around were urbanised as the religions were part of an urban society. The Jedi are a monastic order. It makes sense many of their locations wouldn't be public knowledge, and it's highly probable that they could have kept their origin planet secret for various reasons. Given it's not in an urban areas, given the scale of the galaxy, the time scales we're talking about and its possible protection by the Order, it's not unbelievable that it's location could have been lost.

Secondly, you have too much faith in the durability of our knowledge even in the modern age. A significant civilisation collapse could see our knowledge lost espcially the electronic kind.

Yes, it's possible to explore the known galaxy in a single lifetime. But that requires the use of established charts, etc, created over many thousands of years. There are parts of the galaxy which haven't been charted and therefore aren't explorable in a single human lifetime.

 

I laughed when I began playing this clip because when the Beast is talking it kind of sounds a little like Kylo Ren at first.



If an Episode IX musical happens though with Kylo Ren singing a variation of this kind of song I’m out.

 

I actually thought the Rogue One designs were right on point. Solo had some okay ones. Besides Rey, Bazine Netal, And hermit Luke I do not like any of the ST ones

Btw on Disney changing characters from the OT version I can’t believe this is how Han lost the Falcon:

Sad

Lol Kylo literally has a small hole in his face here, yet it's a minor scar a week later. I know Star Wars technology far exceeds ours, but I had heart surgery back in November, and it's still not even close to fully healed, a hole in his face aint healing that fast. I've had fire ant bites heal slower than that

 

It’s even better. Apparently not only did Maz recommend him (I am beginning to believe those ‘Maz is a dark sider” stories), this dude joins the Resistance! I hope Han found him and beat him up before Starkiller.

Total agreement. Plus they aren’t even in vibrant colors, they look like they’ve been washed to death in a washer full of mud. Someone on Tumblr wrote a long post about how because of his taste for thirty year old styles, Poe was a hipster, it was brilliant.

 

Even that comic book art is insulting to truly talented comic book artists.

 

Wow that's just like.... the worst makes me glad that I have stopped buying the comics.... like what the hell

 

So I guess the idea that the Falcon was deliberately placed near Rey just in case she needed it is officially off the table?

In other words, it was a coincidence?

I supposed the force brought them together is the best explanation one can muster?

 

In the PT and the OT? Which ones are as bad as this one?

 

I see. When I type "every single known religion" I guess you thought I meant the 5000 religions that are present on this planet. Ok I am done with this conversation I guess. We will have to agree to disagree. What you see not unbelievable, I see it as completely and utterly not believable, and that's fine. If the Jedi were a religion in this real world that we live in, and not just a religion, but a faith in something that actually is shown to work and is testable and true, I am 100% sure that everyone would know where this one true religion originated from, including the first temple, the first masters, the first members of the order, etc.

I don't have faith in the durability of our knowledge. I know for a fact that the digital libraries of our world would withstand pretty much everything short of an apocalyptic magnitude scenario. If we take that type of storage and multiply it maybe 1 billion times (or 1 million if you want to be strict), spread it across our galaxy on 1 million habitable planets and libraries, all of that knowledge becomes eternal, and can never be lost, unless the entire galaxy explodes.

Both with the conversation about the First Order and now with the Origins of The Jedi, I am given the impression that people forget about the size and the magnitude of the networking power in the GFFA. It's as if lack of knowledge about everything and anything is completely possible, and I just do not agree even remotely with this notion. At the same time, Broom Boi knows about the Legend of Luke Skywalker. Wow.

 

"Will of the force" is obviously referring to Will I Am, who always believes that this evening shall commence to being a splendid evening.

 

R5-D4’s bad motivator blowout occurred at an extremely opportune time.

This is just an example, by the way, not the start of some ongoing side discussion back and forth.

 

Apparently I can't complain about an absolutely ridiculous, nearly impossible coincidence because there have been much less objectionable coincidences in the past.

The bad motivator was not a coincidence. It was a stroke of luck. Not even remotely the same thing.
