State of the Game

I'll be the Dark Knight.

I think Dark Knights are former White Knights turned to the darkside. At least in the old D&D rules.
So you'd need to White Knight a few level before turning.

It is the best of the bunch. It’s the first movie with more budget and a gangster slug. Who needs more?

My 2 favorites are Empire Strikes back and Rogue One. Some days, I start thinking Rogue One might actually be the best SW movie (heresy I know)

But seriously - this last few posts reminded me of the most life changing realization in my struggle with social interactions.

I discovered, that IF I manage to express enough charisma and self confidence for long enough time and with convincing stability while talking to random person,
there is a high chance that my interlocutor will conclude his problems with following the flow and sense of my statements
is sourced IN HIM and his limits/issues/whatever, not in the fact that is just some incoherent blubbering to fill the time and kill the uneasy filling that grows when two people are freefalling into silence.

Or in this case, just talking random b0!!0cks on this thread. That's how I managed to fit in

It's like an internship on the white side so you better understand the enemy.

We worked hard to lower the bar low enough. Have some respect.

Hey I was part of it too

I like the 3 originals and Rogue one was a fitting new movie, liked it really.

Which saddens even more if you look what Disney did to the movie franchise of it.

I think one version had anti-paladins (or something like that).

And we still haven't even hit the bottom - way to go.

I liked Rogue One. The han solo story one was meh, until the 5 last minute (he shoot first).
The sequel are terrible. Oh look ANOTHER death star (that's like their 3rd or something).

Despite my SW fandom expiring a good 15 years ago, I did enjoy Rogue One. Mostly because they largely set aside the Force malarkey (which I’m deeply sick of) and focused on making a cool sci-fi flick. It worked.

LOL I totally forgot they even made that Han Solo movie. Which actually reminds me that I didn't even care enough about it to have an opinion - found it totally forgettable.

And this Darth Vader clone for dummies... He should never have removed the helmet, there I lost the respect for that char...
Han Solo didn't make more than 10 Min on my screen...

This guy was cooler than ever jedi in the prequels combined.

I think that's why I like the Mandalorian.

 

[Erei]

I wish they'd do a less black and white story at some point. The Empire are still the bad guys, but make something less absolute evil vs unicorn and ponies.
Stuff like Guerrera was good IMO.

But then it's Dysney, so it's not going to happen.

The Mandalorian is like one those 80s TV shows (Knight Rider, MacGuyer, A-team, etc) except that they have a zillion dollar budget and way better polish/production.

(that is mean as a compliment btw - I also enjoy it)


Actually another good comparison - it's like a bunch of sidequests from the best AAA SW open world game ever developed

I agree, although I would also add A New Hope to the list and make it a top 3. Apparently, I 'plagued' my parents to take me to the cinema to see it, when it was originally released in the UK. I still even have memories of being in the Cinema (and I'm 50 now).

RotJ, I detest because of the fluffy cats but then he made it worse with 'I thought it would be funny to add a song and dance routine into a Star Wars movie' for the SE. It's probably the one I've seen the least out of all of them. And that includes the latter sequels.

Perfect summation
