About bloody time! 4 hours ago, Richard said: This is different, because they're based on some sort of reality. Star Wars is a childish - albeit attractive and entertaining - fantasy, which some people have read way too much into. It is a trick of light; it contains characters, and situations which do not exist. Wouldn't it be better to base one's leisure activities upon something that is has a history; that is real; that draws one into the world, and not something that promotes one's escape from it? That depends on whether you want an escape or not. ...cue reignition of "escapism" feud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narrative cinema is never "real" anyway: even when the character is based in real-life, you're not actually watching them: you're watching an actor embody them. You're not watching the actual occurences - you're watching an artificial re-enactment. Essentially, all stories are vessels for themes, human themes. And these can resonate in a fantasy or a historical film all the same. Which isn't to say that fighting with lightsabers isn't for lifeless dorks, which it is.

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I just have to point out that the picture of Yoda you used @Ii2, is from the scene in Revenge of the Sith where he confronts Chancellor Palpatine aka Lord Sidious.

Chen G. 3,943 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 They're different kinds of hate. They don't cancel each other out. What the prequels do have going for them is that they were at least necessary for the story of Star Wars to be complete: which is more than could be said for the Disney sequels.

The original films are very much self-contained and hardly needed expanding upon. If anything, the prequels demystified much of the OT’s narrative.

But people did want/need to see why and how Anakin became Darth Vader. Whereas the contents of the sequel trilogy - while mostly quite good and certainly much better than those of the prequels - are entirely superflous to the overarching story.

Everything we needed to know about Vader’s rise and fall is laid out just fine in episodes IV-VI; told as opposed to shown on screen. Now the saga is burdened with a hackneyed and inconsistent origin story of its main villain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
