Also the face SW fans make when you tell them Star Wars is the single most over-rated *anything* ever.

I genuinely believe so.

The original Trilogy was *OK*. The prequels were AWFUL and the new trilogy is just *OK* again.

People love Rogue One for some reason only because of that fan wank Vader/Lightsaber scene and Solo was a flop.

This is *NOT* having a go at anyone who enjoys it obviously.

No one would enjoy The Mandalorian if it wasn't for "Baby Yoda." And I feel, the creators know this as well.

I would.

Also how did this become a bash Star Wars thread?

Because i'm just REACTING to a pic

and i'm not the kind of d*ck to bash SW in the SW thread.

FWIW - I loved The Force Awakens and The Rise Of Skywalker. I was as ambivalent on TLJ as everyone else

but I didn't HATE the new trilogy. Anyone that says they're somehow WORSE than the prequels needs to be laughed at.

The sequel trilogy has bad SCRIPTS - but in literally every other department they're superior.

I actually WANTED The Rise of Skywalker to be complete schlock. JJ should have just gone for it.

I wanted Red Letter Media's time travel theory to be true. It would have been hilariously entertaining.

I think - respectfully - you're overestimating "what you like" as far as what resonates with the zeitgeist. They may be "ok", but Seth Meyers - who I patently do not like - made a good point when he said (to Mark Hamill) that it's amazing all the things that we take for granted in our lexicon that weren't ever heard of before Star Wars. "Lightsabres". "The Death Star". "Blasters". This franchise - whether it meets your muster as far as film - resonates with a generation (or more than one, actually). I saw it in the theaters as a kid - I was 10 - with my dad. First time he ever took me to a movie. First movie I've ever seen multiple times in the theater. To this day, the original is - for nostalgic and personal reasons - my second favorite film ever.

In my office, I have a shelf on which is a small stereo to listen to music. Next to the player:

I have a set of shelves behind me for books. On there (next to my lamp I bought at the bazaar in Istanbul, and my Kiss Dollar Bill my mom gave me):

You can say it sucks all you want, but at some point we have to face that it lasted in the lexicon for SOME reason.

what a load of rubbish about Star Wars being bad

Kotowboy · « **Reply #320 on:** November 20, 2020, 01:57:27 PM »

Star Wars is like football ( British football )

If you say you hate it - people look at like you like you just punched their baby.

I'd take the three kelvin Star trek movies over the three new films any day.

Ok - I don't *HATE* Star Wars. i just don't GET it. And ys I saw Episode IV when I was very young.

It didn't help that I saw The Wrath Of Khan first - and it blew my mind.

2009 and on. The newer movies.

sTar Trek (2009) - about equal to The Force Awakens

sTar Trek InTo Darkness (2013) - way more fun and entertaining than the lasT jedi

sTar Trek beyond ( 2016 ) - miles better than The rise of skywalker

Imagine having all the access to art supplies, and choosing to draw that.

Just read this on twitter

" Intentional weight loss is inherently fatphobic."

Next someone will post - with complete seriousness that - " Eating food is offensive to people who are starving "

or " Wearing glasses is deliberately laughing at people who cannot see ".

It'd be really nice if in 2021 - the whole 'snowflake' 'triggered' 'outraged' FAD could just die.
