Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

While I understand why people don't like it, but for whatever reason I've always liked Return of the Jedi more than A New Hope (and we're talking almost 20 years here). Any of the flaws I'll overlook since the movie is fun as hell to watch with the Jabba's Palace scenes and the Ewok shit and everything involving the Rebel fleet's attack on the Death Star II or the Emperor trying to corrupt Luke is some of the most intense moments of the OT.

Since I've became a weeb I like to compare it to old Tomino Gundam shows which have some intense, deeply emotional moments alongside light hearted moments. A lot of people say ROTJ is like a precursor of the prequels, but if the prequels had been done the same way ROTJ was then we'd have some seriously incredible movies. While Phantom Menace is pretty much a mess (it feels like a prequel to the prequels irrelevant to the other 5 movies), Attack of the Clones would be a masterpiece with better writing. We could have some real character development with Anakin and Padme (that isn't meme-tier shit about sand) while Obi-Wan shows us crazy Jedi investigations and all sorts of shady conspiracies that finishes off with the start of an epic war. And while I think Revenge of the Sith arguably is already like this (has the cheesy writing and dramatic moments like Order 66 and Mustafar), making ROTS somehow even better would put it into straight up masterpiece tier.

ROTJ was the first one I saw as a young child, so it has a special place for me. You do start to see the creeping in of the tard nonsense and the lack of Gary Kurtz influence is strikingly clear. Still it is a very good film and I do consider the scene when Vader's helmet is removed and we see the broken old man to be the most important scene in the series and one of the best crafted scenes as well.

The Dumbest thing in ROTJ was George thinking the Ewoks were a great metaphor for the Vietnam War.

Is it safe to say Ahsoka is the new main face of Star Wars?

They couldn't make a Disney Princess out of Rey so it had to be Ahsoka.

I love the death compilations of Shaak Ti. Dunno why, but it amuses me that she's the Kenny of Star Wars.

A dull competition between her and Elsa.

I didn't like Frozen (terrible pacing), and Elsa has that juvenile quirkaaaay design and even The Smirk™ in some images, but:
- Snow White is a housekeeper for the titular dwarves, who steal the show
- Cinderella gets cucked by some rodents who aren't even in the original story
- Sleeping Beauty is in a coma for all of her movie

Come on.

I can agree to some of that - though Cinderella at least makes an effort. That some other characters outshined her doesn't invalidate the character she does have.

Really all the humans in sleeping beauty are dull - the magic in the movie was having a character.

So Battlefront 2 is getting it's last update soon, turning a unfinished game into one that seems finished. It's quite the con job though, you pay $60 for a unfinished game that you'll have to hope the developers spend the next three years updating it to something that can pass as a finished product, or if you're unlucky they'll drop it like DICE did with Battlefield V.
I don't think this "DLC content will be free, but we'll nickle and dime you for weapons and outfits in the base game" business model is working out for the consumers as people hoped.
This has not been a good decade for Star Wars fans no matter the media platform.

I want to see her in a dress now. I want to see them go ALL in on this princess thing. It's a girls property now, right? Little girls want princesses.

You can go watch that Ophelia trailer I posted a few page back then.

>Implying that Daisy Ridley has that kind of cleavage game going on underneath that Scavenger Outfit

Seriously, the woman is flat enough to double as a dejarik board, which is impressive considering she's following Portman as the female lead.

ROTJ was my favorite in the franchise before I finally saw ROTS in theaters when I was in middle school. Even from childhood, my favorite entries in long-running franchises were often the "finale entries", since they tend to heighten the stakes the most, pack an emotional punch, and have a retrospective feel to the story (a good example of what I'm talking about is the scene in the Ewok village in ROTJ where 3PO is relating all of Han, Luke and Leia's adventures through Ewok-speak and sound effects, and we see Leia lean on Han's shoulder, as if feeling overwhelmed by all that they've been through up till this point. It's the kind of warmth you can only capture with the final entry). To me, it's that essence that makes the final chapter of the story the most fulfilling. ROTJ had that in spades.

ROTS succeeds in this as well, but more as a tragic curtain call for the characters and story of the PT. Forgive my swinging of my Arthurian boner yet again in this thread, but ROTS is a lot like the final act of Excalibur: the third act is relentlessly bleak, with the world falling apart around the characters as a golden age is flung into ruin, and the protagonists become shackled with loss and defeat, but not before the audience is given a glimmer of hope just before the story ends. Unsurprisingly, this is what edges ROTS over ROTJ as my favorite, largely due to my preference in stories.

But they're both spectacular, IMO, and embody Star Wars at its best for me.
