Movies Star Wars going to Disney was a big mistake
SaysWho? replied to SuperSpreader's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
NOT IF ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT, I HAVE! One thing time has done well is allowing me appreciate the craft that went into designing the worlds. Attack of the Clones I straight-up think has a plethora of issues compared to any of the others, including the prequels, but knowing that a ton of people worked hard to make a good movie, I still love watching how much work went on behind the scenes. The Prequel Wars sucked because you couldn't really be in that camp. -
I wonder, though, if Rian Johnson's vision of a trilogy -- if that's something that he knows he can do in three acts -- is still cool within that. Also, whenever reviews start to arrive, could we make a separate thread or at least not put a Metacritic/Tomatometer in the title? I rarely go into movies without knowing the critical consensus, and I'm actually going to try to go into this blind to the critical response.

All candidates who qualified for the debate have signed a letter with Cory Booker to relax the debate rules to allow more candidates. DNC says no because the rules were already agreed to by all campaigns: On one hand, there are strong contenders who are being left out. On the other hand. Andrew Yang carved a spot over congresspeople like Booker and Gabbard and a former Cabinet member in Castro, which could also mean their message just isn't resonating. Plus no one cares about Delaney. Plus, I totally get having all of them there considering we've already done 10-person debates this year, but a debate is better when there are fewer people so you can go more into the back-and-forth, which you can't really do without screwing over people's time anyway in debates with more participants.

This is exactly what I loved about the roads. I remember days ago getting them connected from Lake Knot City to the Craftsman and to the Distribution Center south of it, and I got the roads built far south from the Distribution Center to help get me to Timefall Farm, and I'm like, "Wait.... I can do two deliveries quicker than I could do one because I can just put stuff on a bike and zoom down to the distribution center, or Engineer, instead of carrying a bunch and getting through the rivers and past the mules. Like, there's a HUGE motherflippin' sense of satisfaction when you "connect the world."

I think it's the Force, basically, and they already feel like they know each other with their connection to the light side of the Force and their connection to Han. That's the way JJ described it, IIRC, and I honestly think it's a fine way that the Force was used for story purposes. Chewie being in the shot is the bad part. Me neither, mostly because it had to be pointed out to me afterward.

I'm sure you went around proudly quoting, "I don't like sand," as if it were well-written, too. -
I'm of the opinion that, just for story potential, the prequels could have been balls to walls awesome. Here's a Republic that was overtaken by a dark, powerful Sith Lord who infiltrated its apparatus as a Senator and manipulated his way to Emperor. Unrest was caused by the system itself which was slow to respond to any conflict. The Jedi Order, which preserved peace in this Republic, was destroyed by one of its own, who was slowly turned to the Dark Side by the future Emperor. Like, shiiiiiiiiiit.

Memes quoting bad lines =/= quoting lines with pleasure, which was in my post lol. "I love you," "I know," and "Let the past die. Kill it if you have to," are lines people love. "I don't like sand," is a line people love to hate. -

I can quote the new movies with pleasure. There were some ROTS lines that I can quote ("I am the Senate" is damned good, the line itself and the delivery itself), but in the new movies, everything from, "That's not how the Force works!" to "You're nothing, but not to me," to "Every word of what you just said is wrong," has been gold. -
