@turtlekiosk That does make sense. Tarkin sure does seem elite. I guess they don’t play with our earth expectations of things like that much.

@PixelAloha in the lore, it's associated with people from the core worlds

i was pissed when she started speaking with a posh accent. she should sound like a bogan

Rey's dialogue-less intro with Williams' theme gets me everytime

@777thenothing @ArquetteSisters I suppose it’s a matter of semantics, and you’re right that ultimately, prequels were always planned.
I just note the absense of any thought of sequels/prequels in Gen X discussions of the ‘holy trilogy’. Pop culture talked like it was done.
English
@PixelAloha @ArquetteSisters Again i dunno. And i grew up with the originals. 4 could have been a standalone, no problem there, but the more we got into it the bigger the story got and prequels were going to be made
English
Literally nothing needed to be made after the original film trilogy.

What’s your most controversial Star Wars opinion?
English
@777thenothing @ArquetteSisters Obviously there’s a certain way in which we all wondered about the backstory of Vader/Obi/Yoda. But I do insist that people kinda thought of the Star Wars Trilogy as a complete enough thing before the late 90s. It had hooks for prequels as a “nice to have”.
English
@PixelAloha @ArquetteSisters I dunno! i do think certainly its what lucas was going for originally...and yes! it was fine. But between empire and certainly the last 3rd of jedi it was certainly begging for a huge backstory
English
@SJWheeljack Kinda yeah. The prequels pioneered the all
-green screen CGI movie.
English
@Bennimak1 Maybe the end for side movies.
Episode X-XII are inevitable, as are remakes. Those will happen, no matter how badly anything else craters.
English
If Starfighter underperforms or is also bad this might be it for Star Wars on the big screen

@alfredjviii I saw a clip where Lucas was explaining Anakin’s motivation to Hayden. He said “you’re doing the bad thing, but inside there’s a good person saying, I know this is wrong, why am i doing this, stop…” and it’s a simple direction, but it does produce visible conflict on his face.
English
@FanSince09 You know what though…. Some kids felt like that watching the OT with their dads in the 90s too. It was dusty as hell in like 1994. But then they relaunched the brand, new prequels came along, and Disney did that again in the 2010s. You can always revitalize a dusty series.
English
@777thenothing @ArquetteSisters And certainly, I think the OT could have existed by itself, as it did for 20 years.
When people watched it in the 80s or 90s, no one ‘needed’ prequels to understand. More movies were welcomed and hoped for, but it wasn’t felt to be unfinished.
English
@777thenothing @ArquetteSisters You could have had the first movie all by itself with no sequels, embracing the conceit Lucas was aiming for of waking into a random episode of a 1930s space serial. Or watching Hidden Fortress and having zero clue of the history before the story (or after) and being okay with it

@ConcordiaJedi @ProtonInspector I wasn’t a kid when it came out and I believe on its objective merits it’s one of the best SW films.
English
@ProtonInspector Nostalgia plays a big role in it.
While ROTS is my 2nd favorite SW film, I absolutely acknowledge that a big reason for it is because it was my favorite as a kid.
There's nothing wrong with acknowledging faults in what you love.
Case in point: I love TLJ despite it's flaws.
English
@ProtonInspector @ChrisExpTheNews It’s not only well paced, it has an expertly handled cadence like a steady drum beat marching towards tragedy.
So little of the movie is fight scene that I suspect you are characturizing it in your memory, all due respect.
English
@ChrisExpTheNews True but it doesn’t half drag on and I don’t find films that are 50% fight scene with no pacing particularly interesting. Kinda sucks all the fun out of the action
English
@rebeccarightnow Some sub-areas of market are worse. The tech industry has been rough for a few years, because of the long correction to COVID-era money printing and overhiring, plus AI anxiety. Considering that was the cushy center of the job market until recently, it has an outsized sting.
English
these people always go with “according to the metrics everything is great, so why don’t people think it’s great” and never think to question whether they are using bad metrics to capture the issue.

@AndreaGal67 @TruthFringe My point is that even in Canada I don’t think butter tarts are universally known as a Canadian thing, so I doubt Americans would think so.
English
I asked ChatGPT to make me what Americans would think is a "typical" Canadian meal. 🇨🇦
What do you think?
English
@JimmyNewclaw @Gubloinvestor Pretty much the only thing getting in the way of a populist revolution is that MCGA is a bs acronym.

@PixelAloha @AndreaGal67 There's a MASSIVE Butter Tart Festival every year... About an hour from me.
Butter Tarts are AWESOME!!!!!

@juukuchi The 20th anniversary poster will be based on the dagger scene, heralded by Gen Alpha as one of cinema’s greatest moments.
English
You won't be getting this kind of inspiration from the sequel trilogy on their 20th anniversary.

@AndreaGal67 @TruthFringe I’m in western Canada….. butter tart is a Canadian thing? News to me.

@FischerKing64 It’s a signal that was always there, and some of us catch it 100% of the time. But theory of mind varies wildly between people, for reasons of IQ, neurodivergence, culture. Etc.

Grok always knows when a post is satire. It can be obvious or very subtle - but it always knows.
Large numbers of people do not know, no matter how obvious it is. That must tell us something about artificial intelligence - that it has just blown past a lot of us already.
