Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

I always got the impression the "Rogue One was actually shit" crowd was mainly the Disney shills because it's the thing the people most unhappy with the Disney stuff liked. Something similar to the Disney shills who attack the original films and prequels. Vagule in the, "it's all actually shit so you should like it all" crowd.

I get completely understand arguments against Rogue One but I think a lot ignore the fact it exists in a context of being made when the other films exist.

That said, I am someone who also enjoyed Solo. There's the dumb moments like his name origin and other things. It and Rogue One are still closer to what they should be doing than they are now.

For the penultimate episode of your $180 million show do you have an action packed episode with some plot shit explained or do you keep spinning your tires with a flashback episode? Lesbian Headlamp's choice:

I assume we'll get a flash back with Sol explaining to Mae. We'll then have Osha falling in love with the guy that just murdered everyone she knows. He'll be training her or something. Got to recycle ideas. Then we'll get the double twist of green lesbian snake lady was actually behind everything. It wasn't Sol's fault.

Tbf actually, now that I think of it they could have shown us WHY Han became a scumbag piece of shit in the first place in the movie.

this is what I wanted actually. I love the Han Solo books but I knew as a reboot we weren't getting that so I hoped the movie would be about a guy getting fucked by reality under the empire into becoming a drug runner and cold murderer and instead I got a movie where a guy was more Luke Skywalker than Luke Skywalker from day 1 and retroactively made him seem out of character in Star Wars and Empire. he had his whole OT arc that takes 3 movies in one, before he even had it. what the fuck? the only good part was chewbacca. who also had his arc from the OT in that movie. gay as fuck. han solo is my favorite star wars character bar none. why? because he's the audience. he's out there just fucking around basically telling luke and obi wan they're religious retards and when they prove their religion to him he goes "I'll be damned" and that is it. he is the cool guy. he kills with no remorse and fucks the princess and doesn't give a shit who she was he just wanted some pussy. then it takes him literally staring down death's door and her telling him she loves him and he doesn't even say it back, he just goes yeah I know. what a hard ass. it takes his resurrection in Jedi for him to actually give a fuck. Solo takes a big shit on all of that development.

outside of having super powers no little boy watches star wars and goes I want to be Luke Skywalker, they watch Star Wars and go, god damn I wish I was Han Solo

And even then I can actually list more things in that film I liked than I did for most of what Disney had shat out.

I consider AotC as a collection of mostly good scenes that don't really come together to form a cohesive movie. Also it's where the overreliance on CGI really became apparent. Yeah, there's a lot of physical props, sets and miniatures, but all the CG clone troopers, battles and Yoda really stand out.

Love is not allowed. Yet it was Vader's love for his son that saved the galaxy. So is attachment good or bad George?

No idea if that was George's intention, but I always took from the whole thing that the Jedi are wrong about love. Anakin puts it like this: Attachment is forbidden, and instead of teaching people to control their emotions, the Jedi taught them to just not have them, which turned out to be a recipe for disaster.

AoTC gave us great concepts and an absolutely banger of a ten last minutes.

The plot is much less over the place than you would think, but it's done in such a way that comes across as skitzo.

The CIS Army was cool as fuck, and I learned to enjoy it on SW: GB, because in the movie they're just barely seen behind a chaotic, red smudge.

In fact, there is too much red in this movie. The Naboo and Coruscant scenes are actually amazing, but the aestheticsof Geonosis eats it all away.

Not that Geonosis in and on itself is scenically bad. The concept was kinda cool, but the execution makes the movie a bit bleak.

Every time I think of it I think of red. Red sand, red sky, red air, red everything.

It's like being in Oklahoma.

I was bitching about Han Solo earlier and I'm here to do it again. TFA pissed me off one minute into it with goofy whedon avengers style jokes. however, before I came to realize I was watching my favorite movie of all time (A New Hope) if it sucked, they character assassinated my favorite character to such a degree I couldn't even tell if I was just high and drunk (which I was wasted I won't lie to you people) or the movie I was watching was real (it unfortunately was).

I am a huge fan of old EU. I read that shit since I literally could read. some of my earliest memories are literally my dad reading me Star Wars books because he kept up with it from when he was 20 and the zahn stuff started, and as a kid he read Marvel Star Wars every month until it ended and he was too old to be reading comic books. but if you couldn't do that, if Han had to be the Obi Wan role, if anything he should have been a weird born again force believer. rambling on about it. they sort of did that but they also made him literally run away from his problems which his ENTIRE OT arc was that he quit doing that. in the end of the first one he leaves. but he comes back and blows darth vader to hell to allow Luke to blow up the fuckin' death star. in the second one, he just goes to his death willingly knowing his choices are what caused all of this and Leia will be okay because Lando, the third one he goes from a guy who was only around for money and pussy to one of the legit freedom fighters with the rebels and becomes a leader. that guy, would not just go around the galaxy with his fucking dog drug running and smuggling whores or whatever it is he used to do again after his son goes evil. that is so fucking stupid I have no words for it. the whole point of him as a character is HE WAS LIKE THAT WHEN HE WAS YOUNG BUT HIS EXPERIENCES CHANGED HIM. what in the holy fuck was all of that? I don't even believe chewbacca would have went with him, life debt or not. when han was leaving leia secretly while she was sleeping or however it happened chewy would have been like no this isn't right fuck you you faggot.

yeah I always got the impression that "although the Jedi are good guys, as an organization they were kinda fucking retarded about a lot of stuff" was a big point of the pt

And that's why Luke's Jedi order in the EU seemed like the logical conclusion here. But since George didn't like it then... yeah, it just confuses me a lot.
