Saga Unpopular Star Wars opinions!

Just a friendly question; we are all entitled to our opinions. I don't think Han really believed his son would run him through with a light saber. Maybe he thought at worst he would be taken prisoner. Is this really Hans fault?

 

No worries, eh. No, of course not; and that's kind of my whole take with this sort of thing, it's not a binary situation, IMO. There's an objective truth that exists, yes, but also subjective truths that we all (and Ben!) feel because of experiences we've been privy to and how we've processed life. Sort of like an insanity defense, eh; different levels of accountability based upon certain variables that are that person's "truth".

It doesn't make what he did right, or even predicated on something closely resembling an objective truth or rationale...but I believe Ben did what he did because of an intense amount of internal struggle - as opposed to malice - that we can't possibly relate to. And so, I can't judge him according to a rational measure.

 

Well Mr. Kartan beat me to the punch. As he said, it led to unreasonable expectations for the ST. Now, dont get me wrong, I absolutely despise the ST. But the big 3 not getting a reunion scene is the least of its problems. While I think their deaths were handled poorly and not treated with enough respect, I do think atleast one or two of them had to go. But the way I hear some fans in their ST criticisms, it sounds like they didnt want them to die at all. That is an absurd expectation. And I find it funny that Lucas got flack for not killing Han in ROTJ, but some fans gave Disney flack for killing him in TFA. The OT main characters should have only had as big of a role in the ST as Yoda and Obi wan had in the OT. Because now the OT characters are the mentors, and the ST characters are the protagonists. The ST protagonists SHOULD be front and center.

But I think it also led to a lot of the hatred towards the PT. We were never going to have that sort of character chemistry between monks and high level politicians, and it should not have been expected. It just seems to me that the fraternity of Han Luke and Leia is the meat and potatoes of Star Wars for a lot of people, and I think that has led to a big schism within the fandom, because a lot of other people dont feel that way including me.

 

i dont like Star Wars to be a fairy tail
I think the prequels showed that Star Wars can be much more complex than good vs evil

 

Solo is the worst SW film.

 

I don't think the Galactic Republic is a good idea. The Old Republic fell to the Empire, and the New Republic fell to the First Order. Hopefully, Ep. 9 ends on a different note. Instead of a republic, why not let each system be Free....Free to rule itself...Free to make its own Alliances. And, when unified action is needed, those worlds could join together, like a Federation, to meet those Galactic challenges......

I'm surprised no one has thought of this before....

Baby Yoda is not cute.

 

Can't... even...

 

Anakin and Obi-Wan's friendship > the nauseating artificiality of Poe and Finn's friendship

 

At this point, ROTS is the best conclusion of a trilogy in the saga.

 

Episode 5 of The Mandalorian didn't go overboard with the fan service.

 

I haven't watched The Mandalorian, but I feel inclined to not like Baby Yoda. Feels like this thing is becoming the Minions of SW.

 

Even more unpopular, I haven't seen Mandalorian and have no interest in it. Haven't seen Solo either. I'll say it again, I don't need to have a new movie telling the life story of every single minor SW character. If the ST were any better and actually continued the story that would have been enough for me.

 

I wish Rian Johnson had directed all three sequels.

JJ seems like a good man but in the name of greater good he should stay as far away from Star Wars as possible.

 

BY had a moment of pure anti-cute, no doubt of that.

 

My opinion is that Sidious is back in Episode 9 out of desperation. Due to poor planning by Lucasfilm and Kathleen Kennedy. It's not Disney's fault.

 

I like all of the characters introduced in VII and VIII.
I never hated Jar Jar Binks.
Pernilla August is an underrated actor for her portrayal of Shmi Skywalker.
Jake Lloyd's acting was nowhere near as bad as people made it out to be.
I prefer the PT over both OT and ST.
I was never in the "Rey must be a Skywalker" camp.
I want Rian Johnson to move forward with his trilogy.
I want new films that have nothing to do with the OT whether it be films that take place outside of that time period or films that aren't trying to be a carbon copy of the OT.
I'd rather see George Lucas' idea for the ST.

 

Spoiler: Episode IX Spoilers - Do not Click

Spoiler: One more warning, just to be sure

- Ben's death in Episode IX was a good decision, especially why he died
- Rey becoming a Skywalker on her own accord is also a strong decision
- TLJ is by far the best movie of the ST

 

Agree with the first one, except for

Spoiler

The kiss

 

Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus is a far more captivating Sith than Darth Maul (though, Maul has a great arc in Star Wars as a whole), there is something about Dooku. His motivations should have been expanded upon more beyond II as a part of the prequels, considering he rather told Obi-Wan the truth and that the Jedi were too blind to see it. That's really fascinating, and I love the detail that he trained Qui-Gon Jinn makes his relationship with Obi-Wan all the more meaningful. I mean, for all the good and respect within Qui-Gon, would he have actually joined Dooku?

(Also, greetings, people of JCF , or should I say hello there?)

 

TCW Anakin is the equivalent of TLJ Luke. Reinvention of a character to make them more palatable to a certain sect who didn't enjoy or understand the original characters

 

Ahsoka shouldn’t have survived The Clone Wars. Instead she should have been one of the first people that was killed in the temple

 

Anakin was a Palpatine by blood because Sideous was Anakin's Daddy. I like this.

 

Anakin being the chose one was the biggest mistake of the series. He didn't need to be one, he could have been just some jedi. A strong one, sure, maybe even the strongest of his generation, but making him the fulcrum which the whole galaxy pivoted was a mistake. It took attention away of what could have been a larger story and turned the force from a mystical force to a genetic superpower.
