i just don’t pretend I like the prequels to shite on Disney and Lucas can do no wrong.

It’s not bad because it’s “woke.” It’s bad because no one can act outside of Squidman and the writing is infantile.

It’s a talking point. This is their last line of defense, to attack the OT and PT so by comparison Disney isn’t that bad. These people can’t muster an original thought between them. It’s no wonder they shill for Disney, they’re clapping seals.

His storytelling was suffering, but the world he built was consistent and the rules and lore were held sacred. We didn't like midichlorians, but they didn't frick up lore. . .they just made an aspect of it a bit distasteful.

The Clone Wars was under George. Rebels was written and planned under George.

All held canon and lore sacred.

Now we get articles defending Disney Wars with phrases like "why do people think lore and canon is so important?"


I mean. . .ffs

Manny Jacinto wasn't as bad in episode 6.

Episode 5, he just seemed like he was trying to be "dark edgy cool guy" with every line.

Amandla is bad.

Just really, really bad

I honestly wonder who emotes worse: Amandla in Acolyte, or Brie Larson in any part of the MCU.

ftr, I didn't hate the Captain Marvel movie. . .she was just really bad in it.

It fundamentally changes any concept of the force you would have had watching the first trilogy.

NVM he made 3 shite movies.

Because all the EU stuff made sure they didn’t step on Lucas’s toes.

EU made sure it was right with Lucas not the other way around.

now we’re arguing about the shows needed to align with EU stuff that Disney directly has said it won’t align with.

You don’t know that Lucas set specific tiers of cannon so that the EU could flourish without conflicting or superseding cannon from the movies. He even created a position within Lucasfilm to keep the tiers in place so your ignorant narratives about how dumb and careless Lucas was is nothing but your corrupt bias and Disney propaganda bullshite. You don’t know what you’re talking about. All you do is spew ignorance.

Explain this

quote:

As far as SW:

He made 3 good movies (ANH, RotJ, TPM)

one weak movie (Ep 2)

Two great movies (RotS, ESB)

Disney has made:

1 good movie (R1)

2 weak movies (TFA, Solo)

2 absolutely shite movies (TLJ, RoS)

Lucas had a waaaaaaay better batting average

He doesn’t know the difference between Revenge of the Sith and Phantom Menace. He thinks they’re the same thing because he’s a big Star Wars fan.

When you first watched A New Hope, I bet you didn’t have “bacterial infection” as the reason the force is strong with some people.

Lucas took something cool and mystical and grounded it in an incredibly lame way. Midichlorians do more to damage the Force than anything disney has done.

I am going to just say we won’t see eye to eye on this one.

RotS over ANH is an absolute travesty. The only redeeming aspect is the lightsaber fight and hay apparently that isn’t enough.

Lucas made 2 Great Movies ANH and ESB.

I think RotJ is good. It may be a strong dose of nostalgia but I think it actually stands on its own. The Jabba scenes are classics. the confrontation with the emperor and Vader’s turn to the light sight is an epic ending to the trilogy.

I dont like any of the PT.
There is bad writing, bad effects, bad acting.

Lucas is batting .500 in my book. And don’t get me wrong they’re 2 HR and maybe a double but I sont think any of the PT made it out the infield.

Disney had made some
shitty products.

The ST sucks.

But Mandalorian is great. Andor is great, Rogue One is good. I liked Solo.

I didnt like Obi-Wan because it was too boring.
I don’t think I can get in to Ahsoka without watching the cartoons.

I think this show is still up in the air.

I didn't have that impression after TPM, either

That is a weird take

I agree with that, sort of. That was what I said was distasteful. But it didn't break anything, just a needless explanation.

The force is female

All personal preference, but RotS is easily one of the best SW movies. Easily. Some of the most iconic moments in SW happen in that film.

Ep 2, TFA, Solo, Obi Wan, s3 of Mando, and Ahsoka all fall in the "weak" camp. They had some very good and some really, really bad.
