Is There 'A Hill You're Prepared To Die On' ?

[Eddie Teach]

Did Tamas text first to ask if he could point his sword at you?

Haha, ok, boomer.

That question just highlights the extent to which you fail to grasp modern communications.

Or perhaps you fail to grasp duel etiquette.

[DGuller]

We don't duel anymore either, granpa, we just exchange mean tweets these days.

[grumbler]

No need to mock the elderly, Tamas.

C'mon.  Snowflakes mocking the elderly IS modern communications.

Having lots of books in your home, read or unread, is a good thing.

People who sleep in public libraries are the worst.

The Last Jedi is a good movie.  Come fight me.

Glances at Barrister on his hill of refuse and stiking trash and decides I cannot possibly be bothered to fight anyone willing to fight over THAT!

I tried to attack your position from outer space from my bomb bay but they won't drop.  Damn you Newton's laws.

Absolutely agree. I'd go further - I think it's great

And there's no sound in outer space, and ships don't move like WWII-era planes.  Star Wars has never worried about obeying the laws of physics - and that's before you get to hyperspace and laser-swords (and by the way, that was one more reason TLJ was good - Luke called them "laser swords").

I typed great, but changed it to good.

Obviously it loses something in comparison to Star Wars and ESB, plus how can something you come to as an adult compare to something you fondly remember as a kid?

While I think many of the complaints against TLJ to be utterly without merit (that it was unrealistic, that it was too SJW/"woke", they they didn't like how Luke's character was portrayed, amongst others), there were some annoying plot-holes in it.  Not to mention that as much as I loved the ending about how it's not about bloodlines and the Force can reside in anyone, the fact they went back on all of it in Rise of Skywalker cheapens it.

the sequels made the prequels seem better, at least

That they went back on all of it - and went back to Palpatine - made me very angry. Because I really loved the whole Rey from nowhere thing and the final scene clicked in of the casino that these had become myths that was inspiring a new revolt, new generation etc. I really liked all of that and I felt it was a film with multiple protagonists, while the next one basically just dumped Poe and Finn (and Rose), which I think was a real shame because that was a strength.

I wanted to see the sequel to that film because I think it was going somewhere new and interesting. But no

I think if Rey had ended up being a Skywalker, that would be boring but fine. Tie it all back in to the overall story of the Skywalkers.

I think if Rey had ended up being "nobody" that would be great. Being a Jedi is not about your lineage, it is about what is inside you!

Rey ending up being Palpatines kid combines the worst aspects of the first while getting none of the second.

That ending tainted everything that came before it. And it wasn't that good to begin with, given how good it could have been.
