R ppl not allowed to like stuff anymore? Who cares if ppl like the old star wars and not the new ones or vice versa. U just cant like jarjar
Boopadasnoot
I liked jar jar in episode 2 and 3
I liked Jar Jar. And the Clone Wars shows really cemented my idea on who the character was overall.
Phenome
I never really liked Luke. He's such an un-interesting character. Except when he goes slightly dark side at the end. That was cool.
Neerpus
Well most of the interesting stuff about Luke is now Legends, there was quite some cool shit in the comics!
Yeah, I've watched some lore videos about the more interesting stuff about him. He was basically unbeatable apperantly.

I think people are under valuing the original trilogy in an effort to defend the new movies. They were cheesy but they were also exciting 1/
, compelling and original. There is a reason why people watched them and continue to watch them. It’s not just misplaced nostalgia.
Agreed. Watched them after seeing TLJ. They just FEEL different. There's a whole different style, one many people happen to prefer.
JapAnus
Plus the writing was decent and the characters were compelling. We watched Luke turn from a whiny kid to a mature adult and Jedi Knight 1/2
over the course of three movies. Rey could just up and do whatever she wanted right out of the gate.
Rey's power was only believable because they heavily implied some Powerful jedi Lineage. Then they couldn't write a good conclusion so 1/2
they copped out and applauded themselves for being super real. They managed to make it unrealistic and boring.
MagTuired
For sure. I rewatched them recently, and I was half thinking to myself I might not enjoy them as much as an adult. I was totally wrong.
Man, I gotta redownload the despecialized editions. Lost em after my main desktop died.
They had a great storyline!

Disney have confirmed Luke is set to be a Force-Fart in episode 9. More gags, more CGI, more PORGS than ever before. Welcome to Disney Wars

More CGI being a bad thing? You want entire fucking movie with cardboard spaceships from the beginning of Space Odyssey? The fuck you on.
Actually yes. More cardboard would be at the top of my list for number 9. I just love the cardboard, all over my face
Coolbacca
Disney also plans to incorporate a laugh track and more jokes! *poot* "And I thought I smelled bad on the outside!" [Canned laughter]

Porgs were partly created to replace the protected puffins on the island. And toys of course, but still
Or, ya know, if you're going to spend the cgi budget anyway…
I keep on you using the porgs as a reference when slaying the film but I secretly liked the porgs
I think we should cut it some slack. It's trying to cater to kids now and adults who watched the originals when they were kids. Not easy.
You are 100% correct. The sad thing is I thought number 7 worked well, number 8 just seemed to take what was set up in 7 and throw it out
NexiKuro
Well yeah, its the ol JJ Abrams one-two punch, he gives you expectations and then is like "nah bitch we're doing something else". 1/2
16and0bears
To be fair after esb took things in a more mature direction, rotj cemented this as a lighthearted series.
itsallinthewrist
Ya like that scene where Luke enters a murderous rage against Vader and The Emperor encourages a descent into darkness? Perhaps not so light
RedLetterMediaReactionGifs
Or when Jabba sacrifices an alien stripper to a giant alien T-Rex because she rejected his advances? It's a mixed fucking bag.
xrufus7x
2/2 chucking him down a ventilation shaft.
You mean the evil wizard shooting lightning from his fingers while maniacally cackling like a supervillian followed by his dad overhead 1/2
Juet because its simple and fantastical does not inherently make it light hearted. Its a boy about to murder his father...
2/2 that isn't a bad thing but lets not pretend the movie with a teddy bear rebellion was dark and gritty.
Killing your father sounds dark on paper but throw in a thick layer of camp and tropes and it becomes significantly less so. 1/2
RedLetter Media pointed out that in the same movie series that is 'for kids/toys' there is also a scene where Anakin is burned alive so idk
LuckyTed
ApparentlyBritish
I have come to the conclusion that it's THIS scene in particular that cemented the idea of being a Jedi as a heroic fantasy. Prior to it...
Dang
Luke's usage of the force and his lightsaber were either as general tools in his arsenal as a Rebel, or shit just didn't go well - like...
His fight against Vader. Here? He fights a crime boss, takes down dozens of foes, and saves his friends. It's a more general adventure.

like all good stories the hero need to grow the challenges before facing the monster and the public need to know and follow the progress

In interviews, Lucas said the air time was extended to fill the gap that was left by a cut which the score had already been written to.

After R2 shoots it out, Luke's forces would have brought it quicker like on Hoth. I agree

This is because Mara Jade tried to pick it out of the air, but Luke won ( I know Mara was not there and this is non canon...dont care)
just4thelolz
Nowadays I would just chalk it up to stylistic slowmotion. But time has never been constant in movies. Ever counted along with a countdown?
They needed to fill in a cut, because the score couldn't be rewritten for a shorter fight scene.

Objection! Falling time does not depend on the mass of the object.
zidar
*in vacum.
sprinckletitties
Acceleration due to gravity is not affected due to weight or density. There is a correlation because denser objects tend to have less 1/2
air resistance.
It does when you account for air resistance.
Beelsebooob
Objection - you're incorrect. Since there's air resistance, the speed is determined by the object's mass. Specifically, its terminal 1/
Bibulus
Mass and size/shape, so it's more about density than just mass.
Yarp.
velocity is sqrt(2m g/ρ C_d A), and its velocity after falling for t seconds is v_∞ tanh(g t / v_∞). 2/2
Oh, nice. Upvoted.
If yall judged the originals as you have the new flicks there wouldnt have been a esb. Only thing yall love is the nostalgia goggles 1/2

HighFunctioningAlcoholic
Says you. I think Rogue One was amazing versus an original trilogy that is didn't have enough forward planning to prevent incest.
connor645
It seems to me people had these massive expectations for the movies based off of years of imagining what they would be like 1/2
Then when it wasn’t exactly how they pictured it, it was bad or stupid. 2/2
ThatChadGuy
I wholeheartedly agree. In fact even back then those movies got hate. None of them are perfect. And that's okay
Napukin
Can you source that people hated the original star wars when they were release? Because I only seem to recall star wars mania.
Schmuck4hire
I'd still argue Empire Strikes Back is as close to perfect as you can ever expect a movie to get.
asm80dfa8sdfj
Indeed. In that movies are inherently flawed and subjective so calling them perfect doesn't make sense.
Bitterkandy
Eh, the original trilogy are very Western/Samurai themed, a tried and tested formula. IT'd probably do well today.

MagnorCriol
Yeah we’ve been rewatching them lately with my 10 year old stepdaughter and it’s pretty funny how cheesy/corny/outright bad these are.
Squirrelys
The previous movies had a consistent story and internal logic. These movies do not. Fuck even the prequels had consistent story.
confirmsthings
So I said to him "I'd like a chicken", the next day he brings me the communist manifesto has several inches inside the turkey.
How are they inconsistent?
The original trilogy had a more consistent story than the newest ones?
rocketturttle
go ahead and tell that to someone who teaches literature or film. Seriously, dissect and compare the story and character arcs.
The guy made out with his sister. The movies weren't planned out.
The third was written before filming started on the second. The kiss scene set up Han thinking they were a couple. Romantic tension
They didn't finish writing until well into pre-production. Source: https://theasc.com/magazine/starwars/articles/jedi/pdir/pg3.htm
Han was frozen literally because they didn't know if he would come back for the third film.
Also tons of better ways to create romantic tension than incest. Like literally any other way.
Id rather enjoy a fun movie then cry about it not changing the way i see cinema.
See, for many of us, Ep. 1-3 were anti-fun; painful to watch in parts. That is disappointing to those who loved the originals.
BabyGerald
Do you enjoy a fun movie more than crying about people crying about it?
HerbieRobinson
Although I certainly don't hate the new ones, they've gone from "Space Opera" to "Space Dramedy," and this gif epitomizes that.
This wasnt meant to be funny, but to show you how simple and crude his life is as he waits on the isle to die. (Also an amazing throwback1/2
2/2 to his blue milk days on the moisture farm) but like shirtless Kylo people tend to only see silly suface stuff, and dont look deeper.
Yea, I think that's reaching. A lot. It was clearly a joke man. A weird, awkward ass joke like the actual milking.
"what? This came right around when you find out he has given up and is waiting to die. Also crazy fact, milk comes from breasts. Its1/2
MarkWhoGivesaFukFrom93Tv
There was comedy in all the Star Wars movies though. C3PO was mostly comic relief. The "chess" scene with Chewie was played for laughs.
And yes, light moments, but the chess scene develops Chewie as a character. He's a sore loser, temperamental, and can rip your arms off.
Also, people complain about Phasma's screen time but absolutely love Boba Fett...
Many of these new comedy scenes serve no purpose aside from trying to appease a wider audience.
Yoda hitting R2D2 with a stick served a purpose?
Part of the plot, yes. R2 was trying to take back what Yoda stole. Now tell me what purpose the "Holding for General Hux" bit served?
boingclashboom
Exactly
However, that trick served a purpose in the plot as he forces the trooper to chase, quickly, without thinking, into a trap.
WumboPower
Comedy was misplaced a few times in the new one I'll say, like Luke brushing his shoulder off.
Oh I loved that lol
Screaming hamster....
And the "I'm holding for General Hux" bit. Felt out of place
Oh God yes it did.
Yeah, fleet is all dying, better make some light humor with the baddies

They needed to fill in a cut, because the score couldn't be rewritten for a shorter fight scene.

Objection! Falling time does not depend on the mass of the object.

Acceleration due to gravity is not affected due to weight or density. There is a correlation because denser objects tend to have less 1/2

air resistance.
doctorbees
It does when you account for air resistance.
Beelsebooob
Objection - you're incorrect. Since there's air resistance, the speed is determined by the object's mass. Specifically, its terminal 1/

Mass and size/shape, so it's more about density than just mass.

velocity is sqrt(2m g/ρ C_d A), and its velocity after falling for t seconds is v_∞ tanh(g t / v_∞). 2/2

If yall judged the originals as you have the new flicks there wouldnt have been a esb. Only thing yall love is the nostalgia goggles 1/2
HughLaurie
While I agree, the "yall" is undercutting the tone of your message.
IsolatedThinker
2/2 you glued to your head when you were 8.
firerage191
not true the original trilogy had good humor and pacing while the disney movies have very forced humor and awkward pacing
shhep
Excuse you, I watch originals because Carrie Fisher gives me boners aplenty.
Fragarach
Same reason I watch the newer films
JakeBu11et
Aplenty... hehe.
odamanda
No. Those were masterpieces, for a whole lot of reasons, and have aged well. Whether fanboys like it or not, the new issues are horseshit.
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
Says you. I think Rogue One was amazing versus an original trilogy that is didn't have enough forward planning to prevent incest.
connor645
It seems to me people had these massive expectations for the movies based off of years of imagining what they would be like 1/2
connor645
Then when it wasn’t exactly how they pictured it, it was bad or stupid. 2/2

ThatChadGuy
I wholeheartedly agree. In fact even back then those movies got hate. None of them are perfect. And that's okay
Napukin
Can you source that people hated the original star wars when they were release? Because I only seem to recall star wars mania.
Schmuck4hire
I'd still argue Empire Strikes Back is as close to perfect as you can ever expect a movie to get.
asm80dfa8sdfj
Indeed. In that movies are inherently flawed and subjective so calling them perfect doesn't make sense.
Bitterkandy
Eh, the original trilogy are very Western/Samurai themed, a tried and tested formula. IT'd probably do well today.

I wanted original stories in the SW universe. But what we have are parodies of the OT with slight twists. So much copy pasting it is sad.
WalterSobchaksWorldOfPain
Holy shit I have been trying to preach this and people are being such babies about it.
MagnorCriol
Yeah we’ve been rewatching them lately with my 10 year old stepdaughter and it’s pretty funny how cheesy/corny/outright bad these are.
Squirrelys
The previous movies had a consistent story and internal logic. These movies do not. Fuck even the prequels had consistent story.

doctorbees
How are they inconsistent?
MagnorCriol
The original trilogy had a more consistent story than the newest ones?
rocketturttle
go ahead and tell that to someone who teaches literature or film. Seriously, dissect and compare the story and character arcs.
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
The guy made out with his sister. The movies weren't planned out.
rocketturttle
The third was written before filming started on the second. The kiss scene set up Han thinking they were a couple. Romantic tension
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
They didn't finish writing until well into pre-production. Source: https://theasc.com/magazine/starwars/articles/jedi/pdir/pg3.htm
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
Han was frozen literally because they didn't know if he would come back for the third film.
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
Also tons of better ways to create romantic tension than incest. Like literally any other way.
IsolatedThinker
Id rather enjoy a fun movie then cry about it not changing the way i see cinema.
rocketturttle
See, for many of us, Ep. 1-3 were anti-fun; painful to watch in parts. That is disappointing to those who loved the originals.
BabyGerald
Do you enjoy a fun movie more than crying about people crying about it?
HerbieRobinson
Although I certainly don't hate the new ones, they've gone from "Space Opera" to "Space Dramedy," and this gif epitomizes that.
IsolatedThinker
This wasnt meant to be funny, but to show you how simple and crude his life is as he waits on the isle to die. (Also an amazing throwback1/2
IsolatedThinker
2/2 to his blue milk days on the moisture farm) but like shirtless Kylo people tend to only see silly suface stuff, and dont look deeper.
Squirrelys
Yea, I think that's reaching. A lot. It was clearly a joke man. A weird, awkward ass joke like the actual milking.
IsolatedThinker
"what? This came right around when you find out he has given up and is waiting to die. Also crazy fact, milk comes from breasts. Its1/2
MarkWhoGivesaFukFrom93Tv
There was comedy in all the Star Wars movies though. C3PO was mostly comic relief. The "chess" scene with Chewie was played for laughs.
HerbieRobinson
And yes, light moments, but the chess scene develops Chewie as a character. He's a sore loser, temperamental, and can rip your arms off.
MarkWhoGivesaFukFrom93Tv
Also, people complain about Phasma's screen time but absolutely love Boba Fett...
HerbieRobinson
Many of these new comedy scenes serve no purpose aside from trying to appease a wider audience.
MarkWhoGivesaFukFrom93Tv
Yoda hitting R2D2 with a stick served a purpose?
HerbieRobinson
Part of the plot, yes. R2 was trying to take back what Yoda stole. Now tell me what purpose the "Holding for General Hux" bit served?
boingclashboom
MarkWhoGivesaFukFrom93Tv
Exactly
HerbieRobinson
However, that trick served a purpose in the plot as he forces the trooper to chase, quickly, without thinking, into a trap.
WumboPower
Comedy was misplaced a few times in the new one I'll say, like Luke brushing his shoulder off.
boingclashboom
Oh I loved that lol
Boopadasnoot
Screaming hamster....
MarkWhoGivesaFukFrom93Tv
And the "I'm holding for General Hux" bit. Felt out of place
HerbieRobinson
Oh God yes it did.
WumboPower
Yeah, fleet is all dying, better make some light humor with the baddies
