Which makes sense whether you like them or not. The three trilogies are clearly trying to do their own thing overall, with the broader Skywalker story at play in the background.
Well yeah, the OT was a complete story. Both the prequels and sequels rely far too much on the OT to stand on their own as stories. The ST in particular is more of a coda than a real sequel trilogy.
But that doesn't invalidate them. George Lucas used to say there was "no more story" after ROTJ but then he changed his mind. Nobody is forcing you to watch it, you are free to ignore it.

Yeah but also Rogue One, for instance I absolutely wouldnt watch R1 and follow it up with ANH, mainly because of all the plot inconsistencies but it just doesnt fit within the OT timeline imo
cant believe they actually made John fucking Williams score this garbage
I posted that ONCE before, in a different thread. If it means someone might do some self-reflection and become healthier for it, I'm glad I posted it TWICE (since that is every post now).

Could really use some self-reflection, as well as the others who are passive aggressive over opinions not matching their own.
Three times, technically, in my run ins with you, which on the Star Wars topic is pretty good percentage of your posts.
But that's besides my point. You know drawing comparisons to Trump supporters will piss people off, especially on this forum. You're adding to the toxicity and it's frustrating because 1) you seem to be wanting to combat toxicity and 2) you're drawing comparison to something completely unrelated for effect.
But yes, I agree that person and others need self-reflection. Sometimes we all do.
It's the same mindset and wanting to live in a bubble where only your opinion is valid, how is this comparison completely unrelated? But you're right -- I didn't realize I did it three times, in that one thread no less. I got frustrated with how aggressive people were as I don't post often, and now I remember why. It seems like everyone just ends up gravitating to their echo chamber, and if anyone is outnumbered in certain threads on an opinion that gets people emotional for no good reason, they leave because of the hostility. It really needs to be looked at.
I don't mind having two endings. One self contained ending for 1-6 and another ending for 1-9. I just hope the second ending will be satisfying.
The comedy in this movie is still jarring to me even if I find it funny (well some of it).

User banned (5 days): trolling, gloating about previous ban
Just one day bitch
I haven't seen the prequel trilogy in years, and AotC since it first released, but holy shit that CG looks horrendous by today's standards.
There are chunks of that movie that were horrendous by 2002's standards. Like that one infamous shot of the inexplicably digital Clone Troopers.
I believe the deal he made for Disney specifies that they can't remake the OT and PT.
Smh. I hope your 5 day ban will allow you to self-reflect a little and make you smarter and more mature as a person and poster.
The next trilogy will be about the Whills that lived on Rey's forehead and gave her uber force powers.
God this Grievous shit is so bad.
Like... why is Obi-Wan even able to pull open his chest like that? What are Grievous' arms doing? It's actually a weirdly long shot for something that takes a bit of effort, so unless Obi-Wan was being held and strangled, he shouldn't be able to even be allowed that close. It's just such boring and clumsy fight staging.
Compared to the 2D series? Like stylization aside, it's so involved, Grievous is so full of interesting reactions and adaptations mid-fight while never letting people settle their footing.

It is. The continuation introduced never-ending conflict and serious logical inconsistencies to the plot. And let's not talk about the characterization of Luke...
Make a thread about it then if it's something you feel is worth discussing.
Even if that's true, it's hard to enforce when you're dead, and I have my doubts Disney would agree to have their hands completely tied until the end of time.
Disney would be savvy enough to wait a bit and then frame it not as remake but as alternate timeline story (ala Star Trek) and likely be fine.
Look I'm definitely seeing the movie opening night and I REALLY love force awakens but the fact that they're trying to act like they've been building to this like the MCU did with endgame or Naruto did with Madara or something is absurd. This is just another story in the same universe but you're right the end of the first story was episode 6. Just let this be the end to your new trilogy we don't need you retroactively saying that ALL 8 movies have led to this!
