    The prequels suck so much arse. They are proof positive that George Lucas did not make Star Wars on his own because without his ex and Kasdan what we got was unmitigated garbage with hideous design choices, awful soporific dialogue, overwrought action scenes and terrible, racist humour.

    Fuck the prequels and fuck George Lucas. He ruined Star Wars for the true fans. I saw all of the original trilogy in their first runs. The prequels took a huge shit on everything I loved about Star Wars.

      But why not midi-chlorians?

      It is interesting seeing people like episodes 1-3 now.

      I wonder what 20 years will do for 7-9?

      JarJar isa Sith Lord!

        The line when Qui Gon describes midi-chlorians to baby Darth Vader is the dumbest shit ever:

        Without midi-chlorians there would be no life and we would have no knowledge of the midi-chlorians.

        Like no fucking shit we would have no knowledge of something if there was NO LIFE numbnuts.

          Not to mention crushing the dreams of millions of aspiring Jedi.

          Oh you can’t have the force, you don’t have enough of this canon-altering mitochondria allegory.

          Baby Darth Vader… Cute until you think about it. And… They clearly picked Natalie Portman for the role of Luke and Leah’s mother… Why did they pick so young of an actor? Too old to start training!? It’s almost as if they wrote it with a 17 year old in mind but somehow forgot the “mah Christmas merchandising” rewrites.

          Ugh such a mess!

          “Without midi-chlorians there would be no life and we would have no BLTs.”

      The fight in the very beginning makes zero sense. There is an embargo? But why? Who is fighting who? If you are going to have a pivotal point of the story at least have a clear reason why. Sure they are bullies and they are fighting to move the story, but they kept coming back to it. Make it makes sense.

      And rolling in flowers and being a “senator” isn’t a real love story. That’s a manufactured love story. Real life stories are when people are attracted to each other and deny it, and then can only admit it when you are about to be in Carbonite.
