Sweet action for kids 'n' cretins. Marjoram and capers.

Rogue One might be my fave SW property after Attack of the Clones, tbh. It was good.

Attack of the Clones works for all the same reasons Empire works, but the effects are better. :shifty:

I wouldn't rate it as high as the original 3 but it was still pretty good, in the same league I woukd say.

I think I have trilogy and shared-universe fatigue these days. I like stories that can be told in a single movie.

The takeaway here I think we can all agree is that Doc is wrong again.

But seriously I get what he was saying to an extent but it was a solid story, with good characters.

Just to be clear, it's a very good movie—I'm stunned, frankly, that Disney okayed something that dark and conflictual connected with one of their crown jewel properties—but it's not a very good Star Wars movie. Really, it's a big-budget piece of fanfic—the story told isn't exactly crucial and, as I said, it's contrary to the epic character of Star Wars—but given the state of world politics it ends up being a pretty harsh take on the present.

Random thought: When Luke and Obi-Wan call Tusken Raiders sand people, are they using a slur? Like calling Mexicans wetbacks?

Wouldn't Tusken Raiders be a bit racist itself?

I assume that Tusken is their nationality and raider is occupation.

Luke and Obi-Wan have a lot of nerve labeling anyone sand people given their own circumstances.

Well I assume Tusken is because of how they look and Raider because it is presumed that they are all Raiders. Typical of downtrodden people to try and feel better about thrm selves by putting down another group of people. Sort of like the Irish in America and black people.

I always knew that cornbread white Iowan Luke was a racist dipshit.
