I just don’t need the protagonists of a Star Wars movies to hold eachother as they resign themselves to death. And it works, and it accomplished what the movie was aiming for. But oof. Thats a bit heavy.


That's totally fair. I get what you're saying. But for me, it gave so much more meaning and importance to the original trilogy, to the point that it made my future rewatches so much better. A New Hope is transformed by Rogue One, because you realize just how much everyone sacrificed in order to destroy the Death Star.

The show is just not good. The story isn't bad, but it's not Star Wars.

Or they use “the thread” to make up some bullshite. Whatever happens some of the Jedi are evil and definitely are responsible for the fire. They’re not clever.


The Thread is just The Force.

It seems like whatever happened probably involved some kind of manipulation of the Force and someone sabotaged/damaged their reactor core.

No it’s not.

A New Hope Grit:

Leia tortured so mercilessly that her dress is still pure white when she is rescued and her hair is still in buns

Obi Wan Kenobi a guy we have known for 23 minutes disappears.

Porkins a pilot who spends half his screen time crashing crashes.

Rogue One: the 2 leads hold eachother as they are vaporized on screen by the death star.

I mean… it’s just not comparable.


I would like to meet you in RL. I just can't fathom someone as contrary and "trolly" as you. I don't think I've ever agreed with even one position you've taken. And the vote ratio supports your minority opinion status every time.

You're a strange strange person. I bet a psychiatrist would have a field day with you.

Yeah he’s one of those mega contrarian posters. Doesn’t matter what the topic’s on they’ll go find the even one opinion of a dozen they disagree on and respond to that

Basically a less extreme version of SFP

I am not just contrarian.

I have pretty consistent beliefs. They just aren’t in alignment with the average poster on here.

I will sit there and tell you exactly what star wars movies and shows i do and don’t like.

I am not on here all the time defending The Sequels or The Obi-wan show.

I am not even saying that Rogue one and Andor are bad but. I am just saying why I don’t think they’re as good as the Mandalorian.

The Acolyte, continuing the stereotype that little black girls don't have a father.

This show is ok. I will be watching. Its not as bad regarding woke as people were saying. Crapping on new star wars efforts is a new industry and to invested day one fans its completely absurd.

Honestly at this point, ok isn't going to cut it.. we've gotten to a point to where it's just watered down garbage that continues to ooze from Disney agenda brigade using the mask of a great franchise...

As a kid growing up and watching Star Wars I wished I could have had more .. Now as an adult I've gotten what I've wished for.... And wish it could be taken back, because unfortunately what we've gotten is bad, really really bad ..

I will be watching


Ok, I'll never tell someone how to spend their time .

quote:

Just that snippet of a video I just watched confirmed that it actually is.. Disney has been injecting its woke liberal politics into everything.. Started small and now it's full force.. It's completely unnecessary from a story telling point , but that's not going to stop them from poo pooing franchises into the ground .

I mean, I understand that with a franchise like Star Wars that you'll never make every fan completely happy...Buuuut, shitting on the vast majority of the base that keeps the lights on is never advisable yet here we are...

You are definitely not a SW fan.

Not that you have to be.

This episode made for a convenient metric

The episode was boring. I'm not sure we need a 40 minute episode devoted entirely to a flashback when there are only 8 episodes per season.

Did we really need a series focused on the immaculate offspring of communist lesbian space witches( great description by that video btw)??
