And for @devilinthedetails Do you find, as a prequel fan, that it becomes more exhausting to debate reoccurring prequel criticisms that never go away (bad acting, CGI, "yes men" for Lucas) or do you feel more motivated now than ever with the PT era resurgence to engage in discourse about the PT in a defensive position?

are you more of a night person or a morning person?

what is your favorite color?

What was your favorite class in school?

What is your favorite food?

 

@Jedi Knight Fett Nice to be a part of this cool thread

1. LOL Hayden's return is a major factor for both projects and admittedly, I've never been too much of an Ahsoka fan, so his return in that series has my interest peaked in that. That being said, Ewan's return as Obi-Wan was always an interest when the Kenobi project eas first rumored aroun 2016 from what I remember. Hayden being announced was major icing on the cake. I'm hoping his performance installs new found praise for Vader/Anakin, but not putting too much stock in it. Hayden's return is a big W for Prequel fans no matter what.

2. Definitely more of a night owl thanks to college. Used to nap during the day and enjoy the quiet eerieness of night to do schoolwork. However, I've been working a lot of morning 6 am shifts so I get up at 4 am and have to go to bed earlier. But with an off day, I try to stay up as long as possible.

3. Blue has always been a stunning color to me. Every shade of it is soft...smooth....and it gets everywhere

4. Definitely history. A big shame that most history classes are very by the basic rundowns of major American historical events without the time to dive in to the complexity and nuance of such topics, but I still always found learning about politics and conflict. I credit the prequels for that

5. Oh tough one. Ya know, I dont know if I have a favorite. I get tired of eating the same food so I need variety. I do like a lot of junk/fast food admittedly. I eat way more than I probably should but dammit, its too good to quit. Culvers always hits the spot

 

favourite parings in SW?

favourite parings in non-SW fandoms?

favourite crack parings? In any fandoms.

any parings (canon or fanon) that have great chemistry but should not get together? In any fandom.

 

@cubman987

1. Definitely a big redwood tree. I look beautiful and I'm imposing. A nice combo. Sure, tourists can be annoying, but at least ill be taken care of. No one wants to see me fall

2. On a scale of jealousy, I have reached "unreasonable amount of lividness." This category does not grant me the rank of master, but does have me hoping that the Chicago Cubs do not win another World Series until 2049 at least.

Is it absolutely counterintuitive and quite petty to root against my own city over Hayden?




No.

@Gamiel


1. As a prequel fan, definitely Obi-Wan and Anakin. They the dynamic duo of this SW ****. The opening of ROTS is still my favorite opening to all of SW due to their back and forth and the AOTC speeder chase is also a great moment for the franchise. Han and Beckett also had a really interesting dynamic in Solo.

For romantic pairings, I have a soft spot for Anakin and Padme. Makes me appreciate whatever happiness those characters have before everything goes bad.

As you can see, I have a weird thing for friendships/love that end terribly I guess I love to cry

2. Ohhh good one. Hmm... Peter Parker and Harry Osborn in the Raimi Spider-Man movies, James Bond and M from the Brosnan and Craig era (Judi Drench FTW), Paul Atreides and Chani from Dune (the OG tragic space opera romance). Those are some that would come to mind

3. One that definitely comes to mind is Luke and Anakin. Sure, I guess it can technically happen with Force ghosts, but Anakin and Luke back-to-back fighting together is unlikely and that really stinks Someone needs to slap Anakin for robbing Luke of father-son bonding time.

4. Oh that's a really hard one. Not sure if I can answer that one. I guess, despite not agreeing with the chemistry part, I am not a fan of Kylo Ren and Rey's relationship in the ST. I think the dynamic in TFA should have carried over into TLJ and TROS and the romantic undertones should have been left out completely in my eyes.

 

What would you say is your favorite holiday?

What is your favorite type of drink?

What is your favorite type of food?

What upcoming Star Wars project are you least interested in?

What is your favorite line in the prequels?

@Deliveranze

 

@Deliveranze
Do you have any other, runner up fandoms that you enjoy?


What music genres and/or artists do you listen to?


Where does your username come from?

Would or have you been to a SWC?


What would you look for in future Star Wars projects that would make you enjoy them?



On a scale of 1-10, how much do you agree that the prequels should be remade with Timothee as Anakin, and then digitally inserted into the OT?
(Couldn’t think of a good joke question, but I love your satire posts)

 

1. Christmas for sure. The whole atmosphere and vibe of it is spectactular. Makes the winter far less depressing. Driving by and seeing how people decorate their houses always puts a smile on my face.

2. Tea or coffee. Cant go a day without one or the other. Need my caffeine and there's something about the smell and taste to both that I love.

3. Ooohhh tough, but I'm a sucker for any kind of fast food. I'm kinda lazy so going to a place where I can get delicious greasy food fast always hits the spot. Luckily, I have a job that helps me burn calories quick

4. Probably the Rangers of the New Republic or Rogue Squadron material. I just don't think I care too much about more frontier locales which Rangers sounds like instead of exploring the politics and scale of the New Republic. And following a Rebel/NR fighter squadron sounds boring to me too.

4. Good one! Two that come to mind would be "I'm a Jedi. I know I'm better than this" from AOTC and "You will not take her from me!" from ROTS. The former is THE line that encompasses Anakin's entire struggle and really shows the underlying guilt he feels. That scene in general is really the first and only time in SW where a character feels intense emotional pain from taking life. For ROTS, the way Hayden delivers that line always gives me chills. The way he paces back and forth too just highlights Vader's rage and the delivery of the line shows how far Anakin has slipped into chaotic evil.

@Emperor Ferus
1. I used to really be big into Transformers as a fandom. There is still a part of me that gets excited when a new movie comes out and I would be lying if I didn't spend some money on getting some figures on Ebay (especially just to live out the childhood fantasy of getting my hands on some 1980s G1 figures). I also have a HUGE love for the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy and anything associated with it (the 2003 MTV CG series, the games, possibly No Way Home if Tobey is in it )

I've recently found a fascination for the Dune universe and how rich and complex the story is. I'm trying now to get into Battlestar Galactica.


2. Growing up, I was exposed to a lot of 80s/90s rock thanks to my father. I didn't have much of a musical interest and just listened to whatever my parents listened too. One song I do remember making an impact on me at the time was Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day, which was the first contemporary song at the time I remember latching onto.

Linkin Park was probably the first artist I found on my own time and really paved the way for my current taste in music. I loved how they incorporated hip-hop and rock and really began listening to rap because of them.

Currently, I'm listening to a lot of contemporary hip hop. I'm a big fan of Lil Uzi Vert, Juice WRLD, Drake, Lil Baby, and Lil Peep, and Trippie Redd.

I've also grown a fondness for 2000s alt rock/pop punk too.

3. I really don't remember in all honesty I think it came from trying to experiment with different rap names as a teen. I think I was 16 when I came up with it and it just kinda stuck for some reason. I was 18 when I joined the boards so I decided "**** it" and just used it lol.

4. I have unfortunately not. But I would love to for sure! I definitely would need to get my Anakin costume ready . But the whole idea of a convention to celebrate SW sounds amazing!

5. I do think more creative and story risks are needed. I think SW has lost its parallels to our world that made the films relevant to the times. Other franchises like Marvel are doing a better job at handling social issues and making parallels. SW is stuck in this 1980s OT iconography for every live-action project so far and everything has become static. Show me more exotic worlds full of culture, atmosphere, alien architectures, established civilizations (purple skies with giant mushrooms that have small bases built into them, upside down cities, sprawling landscapes). Show me characters that arent just 80s action movie archetypes that spit funny one-liners. Show me complex situations. Go beyond "Oh here's a scene where a rebel suicide bombs an Imperial station. Pretty complex huh? Ok, we're not gonna address that again. Lets move on to the next scene where the rebels have to stop an Imperial superweapon project." Explore the issues of terrorism if that's something that an author/filmmaker wants to explore by showing how our heroes are affected by it.

The problem with a group like The Partisans, for example, is that the message of "rebellion is good, terrorism is bad" becomes muddled when in the Marvel comics, Luke, Leia, and Han (paragons of good) have no issue helping the Partisans fight the Empire and, at worse, shake their fingers when they kill civilians but are still willing to help them with no consequences to the heroes themselves. It paints the Partisans as being a bit amoral but still a
good guy faction that our heroes are willing help instead of questioning when a good cause becomes a vessel for dangerous ideology.

If SW can explore complex relevant topics (race, terrorism, nationalism, colonialism, pandemics, etc.) And have our heroes (whether OT, PT, ST, or new eras) struggle with these issues as people do in the real world, it would make the stories told more interesting.

 

What’s your favorite part about the holidays?

Are you excited for that new Star Wars game Star Wars: Eclipse?

What is your favorite era of Star Wars? Prequel? Sequel? Original? Dark times? High republic? Old republic?

Cats or dogs and why?

What is your favorite type of weather?
@Deliveranze

 

1. Really just the atmosphere of it. Its a bit of warmness seeing the lights, the music, and classic movies like Home Alone. Its like a little bit of relief from the misery of January and February lol.

2. I'm interested but a little wary. Video games are a lot more cinematic and long than the days of PS2 and Xbox 360 era and as I get older, I have harder time finding investment in very cinematic story-driven games. Plus, I wasn't a huge fan of Jedi Fallen Order (gameplay wise and story wise). However, I'm intrigued. The trailer looked amazing and the design have me that prequel vibe of being transported into a different era of SW. It looks fresh, exciting, and new (a new war between the Trade Federation and a new faction?). I think it would be fascinating if the Trade Federation were the protagonists this time around.

3. Lol prequel....big surprise, huh? There's something about that era emotionally: a society on the verge of collapse and a young man's descent into evil that's so fascinating and realistically scary. Plus, its the only era in the movies where we see a slice of life. SW would never have some of those Anakin/Padme apartment scenes in ROTS in terms of pacing these days. That calm before the storm. Plus, very few movies have invoked the emotional reaction that ROTS did for 8 year old me. That recontextualized the OT, TPM and AOTC, and every way I look at SW from that point onward. If that was Lucas's last SW movie, he did something that is unfortunately not fully appreciated yet imo.

4. Cats for sure! Easy to manage, but still crave attention and are full of that playful aspect. Plus, those ears I mean, come on.

5. Sunny and warm. Not too warm. Maybe around late 60s-70 degrees Fahrenheit. But sun is important. Seeing the sun in winter especially can make a day much more manageable in terms of mood too.

 

@Deliveranze Who is your favorite Jedi and why is it Mace Windu?
