    It also means that Mustafar never happens and Vader will be completely intact. How long will Palpatine’s rule last with a non-crippled Vader waiting for the first sign of weakness?

    That’s not fair…. The Great Horned Rat only betrays and eats some of its adherents, whereas the Verminous One has betrayed nearly everyone that actually liked their franchises. Juries still out on whether it ate any of them, but I wouldn’t exactly put it past Disney the Verminous and its...

    It would have at least been entertaining. People like to shit on Bay for the Bayformer movies, but the first three were at least fun popcorn flicks. They didn’t go out of their way to be insulting to the source material. Yes, I am saying Michael Bay is a more competent director than Jar-Jar...

    Didn’t the ancient sith have ritualistic, sentient sacrifice? Pretty regularly and matter of course at that? If so, I’d describe them as pretty damn evil. Kinda like the Aztecs. Although, at least when the Aztecs did it was because they thought if they didn’t the sun would stop working or the...

    Marvel is outright dying. Its comic division has been a fucking joke and pretty much operating at a loss for the last decade, and basically no one except the hard core Marvel Soycuck buys them anymore. Their live-action shit has been cratering since Endgame. The age of the cinema superhero...

    What Lucas desperately needed was an editor to clean up the dialogue. Even if you changed absolutely nothing else about the prequels, the dialogue no longer being dreadfully wooden or horribly cheesy would make them a thousand times better. Other than that, the prequels are pretty solid films...

    Being fair…It’s still better than anything Rat Wars has put out. A low bar to clear I know, but still. It’s something?

    A thought occurred to me, as I lay in bed staring at the ceiling and contemplating life when I should be sleeping. So General Hux right. Like many things, actually alright in the first movie, used as a joke in the second, and actually idiotic in the third. So there was a running plot in Rise...

    Wasn’t Kreia’s philosophy more anti-force in general than really being against any of the force using orders specifically? So, technically speaking, you could probably make that argument. Especially given the fact that Kathleen can’t seem to leave anything from the previous trilogies standing...

    Eh, I agree with a good portion of what Plinkett said, but I feel like he was kinda off base about the lightsaber combat. Don’t get me wrong, the fights in the OT were good. But they were good for different reasons, largely to do with characterization. The prequel fights are at least fun...

    That’s another thing. The prequels get, rightly or wrongly, a ton of shit flung at them. I personally blame Mr. Plinkett for popularizing a lot of the complaints. But if there is one thing the prequels have going for them, it’s the fight choreography. Most of the fights in the prequels feel...

    Except for Legolas shield surfing or taking down an oliphant by climbing on it. Me thinks someone in the writing room had a thing for either Legolas or his actor, cause he just got more ridiculous as the movies went on. I personally think it was Peter Jackson himself, considering the elf was...

    At least the worst parts of the old EU are kinda hilarious in hindsight. Rat Wars doesn’t even have that going for it.

    Which is kinda stupid, given all the times in their history that the Jedi and the Republic have been fucked over by some random force user/Jedi finding and fucking around with the Holocron/tomb of insert Dark lord here. You would think that’d be a law that the Jedi would want to keep around.

    The sith aren’t helped by the fact that their philosophy naturally attracts madmen like Palpatine and Vitiate, monsters like Nihilus, or cretins like Sion. Doesn’t exactly help the dark sides image when the predominant sect associated with it is filled with cackling madmen, sociopathic tyrants...

    Didn’t the Raylos actually harass Adam Driver to try to get him to divorce his actual wife so that he could marry Ridley?

    I’d honestly argue that at least BioWare and fucking EA gave us a more interesting, charismatic, and intimidating villain in the form of Valkorian than anything the Rat Wars continuity has pumped out. Hell Malgus, a side character in TOR, is more interesting on a philosophical level when comes...

    Honestly, all the sequels have done is beat a great love and nostalgia for the prequels into me. They weren’t that bad. Yes, Jar Jar is annoying and the dialog in some scenes wasn’t ideal. But at least they flowed together naturally, the action was great, and character motivations and arcs made...

    “Hey! Did you know I’m gay! I’m gay you know! Totally gay! Completely gay! I’m not just gay, I’m downright flamboyant! Did I mention the fact that I’m gay?!” - most modern homosexual characters. It’s almost like some writers have completely forgotten what the word subtlety means.
