The prequel trilogy isn't canon.

I don't mind. The story in the OT was complete enough.

The Clone Wars show isn't canon.

Ahsoka isn't canon.

Nah he good lol

It doesn't matter when or if you lose virginity. But you have to make the effort yourself if you want to lose it. No one is gonna just magically come up to you and ask if you wanna bang.

You probably have some some issues with confidence and/or anxiety if you're still a virgin at this age, so I'd do something about that. Easier said than done, but I'm sure a professional could teach you to put yourself on the spot.

"Come, little one" he said to baby Yoda. Yoda was his master in the OT and now Yoda is his baby.

I got chills.

Alpha as fuck. That's a true Jedi right there.

Anyway, let people like the garbage that is the sequel trilogy if they want to. Let the real fans appreciate the true Luke Skywalker.

Yeah I still have a soft spot for it lol

2000s had some shitty movies but that was my childhood man XD

"You have to make mistakes to be human"

You're supposed to own up to your mistakes and take responsibility for them by attempting to fix them. The excuse for Luke impulsively drawing his blade out on his sleeping nephew is that it was a moment of temporary weakness? That's stupid as already explained, but what's the excuse for Luke running off and hiding so he could mope for years while his friends were in danger (some of them like Han even dying)?

That wasn't a "moment of weakness"; he hid like a bitch for years. "Uhhh life gets hard dude! It's OK to run away from your responsibilities and let several people die because of a mistake you made because you're only human!" There's being human and then there's being a fucking coward. Not wanting Luke to be a reckless coward somehow means wanting him to be a Mary Sue because God forbid you make anyone from the OT competent.

He is evil incarnate. He has already killed several other versions of you from other universes. Now he's come for you. He believes he can be only one

That Jet Li movie sucked btw lol

Right, because a character needs to be a total failure to be human. Take the L and call it a day.

Didn't see it in the movies. Not canon, per you.

It's backed by what we see in the previous movies; the empire was defeated and with the galaxy at peace, Luke would continue honing his Jedi skills with the spirits of Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Anakin guiding him. That's what the happy ending of Return of the Jedi suggested. Although we didn't see what exactly happened next, we had every reason to think that Luke would continue to proudly be a Jedi and train as one for the rest of his life as that's what the ending implied.

There was nothing in the previous movies that suggested Luke would ever grow up to be a bitter old loser who turned his back on the Jedi. From him proudly declaring "I am a Jedi, like my father before me" in Return of the Jedi to "The legacy of Jedi is failure" in Last Jedi, the change in attitude comes out of nowhere and is character assassination, no matter how much you've convinced yourself that it's not.

They totally didn't do anything else because it wasn't seen in the movies. Your logic.

You can continue to strawman.

Nice

DnDer posted...

Trained by who? An old man who didn't really train him but for a handful of hours before choosing to die? Or a little green guy who didn't teach him and just provoked him into cardio, and let him go halfway through a month of lessons he didn't even listen to, including the cave.

Their spirits continued to guide him after they had died and he trained by himself for many years.

DnDer posted...

The dark side of the Force was strong enough to make even a trained master flinch, because the plot wanted it to.

And nothing else. In other words, shit writing.

Oh, this is one detail people miss about Padme. Although she's 24 years old in Attack of the Clones, her mind is slightly stunted due to being thrown into politics at a young age. She became the queen of her planet at 14, so she didn't have much time to date growing up. Her last "boyfriend" before Anakin was when she was 12. She never had any real love life, and with all the assassins trying to kill her, she was desperate to experience it at least once before dying. That's why she settles for an emotionally troubled teenager like Anakin. He was just the nearest handsome male who was willing to be her partner and as her time to be alive seemed limited, she couldn't resist.

It's still a silly love story, though. While it would have certainly been an improvement if they were the same age, their relationship is too convenient and circumstantial to be plausible. All it amounts to is being cheesy and their interactions in Phantom Menace make it seem gross.

Felt easy enough to follow.

Funny how "grown man in his 40s trained to control his emotions should have enough emotional restraint not to whip their blade out on their sleeping nephew" is hard for you to follow.

Frankly, just three films should have been enough to explain how the Force works. By the end of the original trilogy, there was no reason to come up with new information or movies. The prequels in and of themselves are just a bonus for fans who wanted to know more about the lore. There wasn't any need to release more Star Wars movies 16 years after Return of the Jedi other than $$$; the story in the original trilogy was complete enough.

25 years after Return of the Jedi, and 3 after Revenge of the Sith, the 2008 Clone Wars show was unnecessary. And as unnecessary as the prequels were to begin with, the saga was said to be "complete" with the release of Revenge of the Sith; they didn't need to make any more stories. Anything that wasn't in Episodes 1-6 is unimportant.

The Force works however the plot wants it to.

You don't need to watch a bunch of cartoons or read a bunch of comics to know that.

DnDer posted...

Bold statement from someone who's only consumed a fraction of the canon material and doesn't know how the Force may or may not actually work.

Six whole films should be enough to tell you how the Force works.

But keep nerding.

Widescreen didn't become the norm until the early 2010s

I think I could write a good comedy but I don't try to be funny in person

All she does is lip sync and twerk, anyway.

Nack/Fang only just recently came back. Before Mania in 2017, he last appeared in a game all the way back in 1996. That's 21 years of him going unused.

And he only had a small cameo in Mania. 2022's Sonic Superstars is his real appearance since 1996. 26 years of him going unused.

When people think of Anakin Skywalker as a young man, they just think of him as he was portrayed by Hayden Christensen in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. In both of these movies, he was just a whiny brat. He may have been written differently or better in the cartoons, comics, novels, games, etc, which may have aimed to explain why he was such a brat in the films or introduce stuff that could be used in future films, but that has no bearing on how people will perceive him or any part of the films because they don't watch that extra bullshit.

Likewise, when people thought of Luke Skywalker, they thought of him as he was when he was portrayed by Mark Hamil in New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. He may have been written differently in the cartoons, comics, novels, games, etc which could have provided some basis for his portrayal in Last Jedi, but that has no bearing on how people will perceive him or any part of the films because they don't watch that extra bullshit.

Imagine if Ahsoka ended up being the main antagonist in the sequel trilogy and nothing about her background was explained or shown to people who were just introduced to her. They're gonna be confused as to who the hell she is, and shrugging them off with "Well, they can just watch The Clone Wars TV show" isn't going to alleviate their confusion. Or better yet, there could be a Star Wars comic with literal talking butts and feces as the villains. The next film could be about that. People would be thrown the hell off, but that's just their fault for not reading the comics, right? Right? Just one of the many reasons the Star Wars fandom is a meme.

You not liking it, or arbitrarily deciding its not popular enough to be worth a damn, is the definition of a "you" problem.

Turns out it's a problem for a lot of people, seeing as they don't watch that bullshit, either.

You can't be surprised when there's shit that throws people off when you literally left it out of the movies. People shouldn't have to alternate between different mediums just to understand a film series.

SAlYAN posted...

The shows are canon.

For the average fan or watcher, that's irrelevant, because they don't watch that bullshit. Only hardcore fans give a shit about supplemental material like this.

People judge things based on what they see. Some random novel or cartoon made years later doesn't change the fact most people only remember the characters as they were in the movies, because they don't watch anything else. It's like defending Rise of Skywalker by bringing up bullshit from the novelization or a literal Fortnite promo that explained Palpatine's return. Most people don't care, because it wasn't in the movies, meaning they didn't see it.

"Well, that's just their problem" Yeah, no, filmmakers are supposed to make things clear for the audience by showing them in the films. Telling people to check out other shit like cartoons, novels, videogames, etc is silly because the average person isn't a Star Wars geek.

Aka Fang the Sniper. His role was like Knuckles in Sonic 3K. Shows up every now and then to put Sonic through a trap. Once Knuckles became a good guy, Nack could have played this role long-term.

You already mentioned one, Count Dooku.

And he only did evil shit after giving up his title of Jedi Master.

But fine. Mace Windu. He spent years constantly belittling and being a dick to Anakin Skywalker. Since childhood!

He didn't spend years belittling or being a dick to him. All he did was deny him the rank of Jedi Master in Revenge of the Sith along with the rest of the Council, which they were correct to do. Anakin just couldn't accept it because he was a brat.

Even Yoda. Not only did he completely fail to notice Palpatine right under his nose and help enable his rise to power

That's only because Palpatine clouded their vision with the Force.

he COMPLETELY failed to see the real doubts and issues that Anakin was going through.

He wasn't the one training Anakin. With the war going on (and Palpatine blocking his ability to see with the Force), he had no time to worry about Anakin.

I would say all this added up is at least close to the level of Luke's failure, though I don't know if it's actually worse.

It's not even remotely the same thing. Anakin turned evil because Palpatine corrupted him and blocked everyone's vision to see with the Force, so they couldn't have seen it coming. Kylo turned evil directly because of something Luke did. Although Snoke manipulated him, Luke drawing his blade was the exact moment Kylo fell.

You're trying to compare Luke's impulsiveness to the Jedi being deceived by Palpatine. No comparison. If you actually knew what you were arguing, then you would compare an instance of the Jedi doing something impulsive to Luke. Probably the closest thing would be Mace Windu attempting to kill Palpatine when he was unarmed, but that's not a good comparison, either, because Palpatine already did plenty of evil shit whereas Kylo did nothing.

Luke had a point, the Jedi are a legacy riddled with failure.

They weren't the ones responsible for his own failure. He has no one to blame for Kylo but himself.

Not exactly heroic, but very human. It happens all the time. People are motivated, even heroic, they never give up, then they go through trauma and/or fuck up in ways they can't deal with, and they lose that spark of determination they had in their youth.

There's no reason or excuse for not owning up to your mistakes or leaving your friends to die.

On one hand, he definitely recapture the spirit of old Slim Shady on this one.

At the same time, it comes across a bit corny. And I get that Eminem has always been that, but it just hits weird coming from someone in their 50s.

Flash Thompson being Venom is something out of fanfiction lol. If you want to give Flash character development, give him his own superhero persona; when you think of Venom, you just think of Eddie Brock.

The thing is, no one gives a shit about Flash Thompson getting his own identity because he's not an interesting character to begin with. He's just Spiderman's high school bully. Once Spiderman graduates, there's no need for him to still appear. He'll always live in Peter Parker's shadow and when you make him Venom, he lives in Eddie Brock's shadow. Maybe he could have become a supervillain in the old comics, but it's too late for that. He's no more interesting than Jonah Jameson or Betty Brant.

I can't watch the Star Wars prequels at all lol

It's not just that he drew his weapon out on a sleeping person. It's that him drawing it led to shit going bad and instead of trying to make things right off, he fucks off on an island and becomes a jaded loser.

Wanting Luke to remain optimistic and proactive is the same as wanting him to be a Mary Sue? KEK

Anakin literally got away with being a creepy weirdo solely because he was tall and handsome
