      I hadn’t seen them until somewhat recently, figured people were exaggerating. They weren’t. Have to go find an original torrent on the web if I want to rewatch them. Jabba is sooooo freaking bad. Just completely doesn’t match. Looks like a middle school students first video editing try or something.

    You need to go more unpopular. Most SW is only really good when you’re 8.

    An edit for the aggrieved: If actual creative people are in control instead of GL or idiot corpos, SW can make for decent space opera. Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars will be good no matter how old I am lucky enough to get, as will some of the EU books that were de-canonized by Disney.

      When people are young they are not brainwashed yet and can see the world for what it is, when they grow up they get brainwashed and stressed to stupidity. Unless you provide a valid comparison to claim original star wars movies are bad i’m going to assume you are one of these people that burned out every inch of their brain

      slave Leia was just weird to randomly put in there out of the blue. She’s hot and all, but her in a bikini didn’t serve any purpose for the plot.

      You mean other than the fact she was literally sold as a slave in the previous movie??? You can disagree with the bikini, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t serve any purpose to the plot.

      Sex, swords and sandal movies were fairly common. Kids didn’t get the slave thing, parents thought it was hot.

      The population of the West has become older, more prudish, and has less sex. Look at average pictures from the 1970s, and 80s. People were skinnier, wore less clothing, and were generally hotter.

    Yeah, I can’t watch any of them any more it ruins the nostalgia and reminds me how dumb I must have been. I can’t stand to watch most mainstream stuff any more though. The second the plot goes stupid I turn anything off. I’ve wasted far too much time due to investment banker produced media. First hint is all I need.

      I totally get what you mean. I wonder wheter writing a decent plot/characters/dialogues is really that impossible or whether there’s some other issues at play.

      I mean, book authors routinely manage to do pretty good writing, why can’t we have that for film as well?

        You really can’t compare the two mediums. What works in books most likely doesn’t work in movies. Like trying to do a setup like in a book would bore the shit out of everyone if it was done the same way in a movie. You and I might be interested in that long setup, but the GA definitely doesn’t give a shit.

        There’s a reason why Disney Marvel movies insist on making a joke every 5 minutes in their movies.
