Star Wars Rogue One MASSIVE SPOILERS BY BERKUT

[merithyn]

Cool thing that didn't happen in the movie then right?

I'm sorry. Are generalities too difficult for you?

I'm grateful that didn't happen in this movie. It would have been utterly ridiculous, and thankfully, someone realized that.

Reality suggests otherwise. STDs broke out in military camps for a reason.

But in any case I was not talking about Star Wars breaking out into a Porno so I don't see the relevance.

STDs broke out in military camps for all of history for the simple reason that armies had food and warm blankets, and women had something armies wanted. You don't actually think those women were looking for love, do you? They were looking to eat and stay warm, and sex was a relatively simple currency. If love happened, bonus, but it wasn't the goal.

Women are whores, film at 11.

Armies actually really struggled with those things. To be a soldier is to suffer.

Ah. I figured the dudes were doing each other as well. Spartan-like.

EWWWWWWWWW

To summarize:

I think you have a different interpretation of that scene on the beach than most people.

I didn't see googly eyes. I saw holy shit we're going to die, fellow human I just shared some intense shit with for a few weeks. Wanna hold hands because we're both kinda shit scared? Ok cool.

It would have been delightful

Curse your black heart Meri.

Anyway my whole point in bringing this up was NOT to get into a discussion about whether it was good or bad or whatever but I was just speculating why Disney made this decision in both of their films. In the sense that they seemed to set them up and then intentionally left them hanging. I was just wondering what they were going for. I guess we will see if this trend continues.

FWIW the beach scene wasn't in the original script, it was added during the reshoots. That's one of the reasons there's no romance arc that leads up to it.

And they still had more than the average peasant on whose lands they were marching.

And since guys think like that, it makes sense that they would do each other, too.

Ah. See I thought there was. I thought there was tension leading up to it. Especially in the scenes on the tropical paradise planet.

Yeah they originally were going to be chopped up by Darth Vader. I kind of like the doomed on the planet ending better rather then them escaping just to be nabbed at the end, regardless of the romance stuff. Their escapes had been pretty inexplicable up to that point as it was.

Oh yeah! I was really surprised at what seems to be a total change in the direction of the ending compared to what the promos showed. It looks like they completely changed things around at the end. I wonder why.

We are not so different you and I.

Or maybe not.

Or maybe we are.

I keep getting told 'it is completely sexist to think women and men feel differently about sex' or 'it is completely sexist to think women and men feel the same about sex' so I am afraid I have no opinion on this subject.

However last I checked there are some women who do like a good romance without demanding scientific realism in all their films. So I DO NOT STAND ALONE.

Actually I sort of hoped tons of Imperial Troops would pour in and shoot them down right as they send the transmission. Sort of like Blues Brothers.

They were on a mission from God The Force.

I don't recall the big 'let's fuck' scene between Han and Leia either.

It's ain Star Wars A XXX Parody. Includes Luke, too. There's a non-sex edit out there; it's half decent parody.
