Official: STAR WARS THREAD. These are the droids you're looking for. **WARNING MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS

Did they dub over all the lines from Star Wars that don't line up with the new movie?

Can you believe how unbelievable A New Hope was? I mean, they had a woman leading a rebellion force! Come on... get real. Next they'll tell us a centuries-old arthritic lizard is the strongest warrior in the galaxy.

If Yoda was the "strongest warrior in the galaxy" as shown in the prequels (or, at least, tied for the spot), it does invite the question of why he didn't come along and help Luke fight Vader, doesn't it?

Then again, he wasn't exactly a master strategist. "How about, instead of each of us going after one bad guy, we team up on them and take them one at a time?"

Also, was Leia really "leading a rebellion force" in Star Wars? She didn't seem to be in charge of anything until the second movie, and even then it wasn't really clear what her rank was.

At least in the old canon, Leia was an important leader and one of the few senators to oppose Palpatine, but Mon Mothma was the leader of the rebellion. It seems like that stays true in the new canon.

I also thought that Mace Windu was considered the best lightsaber fighter (whether that translates to strongest warrior is another question), but I got the impression that in the original trilogy he was getting too old to fight. Plus it is a common literary theme that the hero has to win on his own.

Don't know what to make of that trailer. Yowza. That movie poster is awesome too.

 

[Ataturk]

So the awful trailer for awful new movie came out, and I googled it. The news story I clicked on had noted some comments from the director:

When asked if that singular Jedi would be Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Johnson was quick to reference a line from The Last Jedi's predecessor as a sort of vague evidence. "I mean they say, in The Force Awakens, that he's going to find the last Jedi temple, and Luke is the last Jedi."

Yeah, that's right -- he didn't watch the damn movie he's making the sequel to, where they said that Luke had gone off to the first Jedi temple.

For someone who spends so much time in CE defending Trump, you should be far more forgiving of gaffes.

Wouldn't it be better if he didn't see the movie? E7 was ****.
