Fair enough.
 

Now this is just a baffling assumption to make. Do you really think it was only or even mostly just children who made Star Wars 77 the highest grossing movie ever made up to that point?
 

What’s amazing to me is that all 3 of the sequels and also Solo have gotten this exact reaction from different former fans. The people who gave up after TFA probably weren’t upset about the same things as the people who gave up after TLJ or TROS, but somehow Disney returned… and managed to piss each of us off in unique ways.

"Jar Jar will be a compelling character and everyone will love him."
-- George Lucas
 
"I always meant for Darth Vader to be Luke and Leia's father."
-- George Lucas
 
"Han always shot second, I just didn't edit it so that you could see it."
-- George Lucas

You show me how Han Solo or Leia Organa or even for that matter Darth Vader work in a silent film. They are dialog driven parts. Vader is not Odd Job or Jaws.
 
Heck, even Threepio and Artoo. It's Threepio's half of the conversation that makes the beeps and boops work.

Just for that I'm going to go listen to Zimmer's Dune now. Because it's amazing.

I've been told woke has no meaning. Probably here.
 
 
I suppose it's the insistence that this is some message that "People in wheelchairs aren't evil." Noted? Who, in this target audience, was even thinking about Davros before this special? "Hey look! He's walking around and can see! And he's STILL a right bastard!" Um. Message? You don't have to be disabled and disfigured to be evil?
 
I'm sure that people of color, the deaf community, and anyone else who isn't Julian Bleach should be reassured. (I'm MUCH taller than Julian Bleach! I feel seen!)
 
"It's 2023!" And before that we were all knuckle dragging morons? Imagine what we'll think of 2025.
 
I'm also glad to see that the Kaleds were a diverse group of people. Interesting choice for a Nazi analogue. Are we going to start making WWII movies with a more color blind perspective?
 
I grew up with Tom Baker / Peter Davison / Colin Baker / (sorta) Sylvester McCoy. i.e. the era where one simply didn't do Dalek episodes without Davros. So I've been just fine with leaving him to the side. So if it's such a terrible message, why include him here?
 
But clearly none of this came across. Because all we got out of it was "Oh. This is BEFORE whatever happened to him happens to him. That's kind of fun. And we get to see the actor out of the makeup. Always neat." And RTD knows we wouldn't get it because he felt the need to explain it.

Everyone chime in who read that and just made that exact noise.
 
Bonus point if you cannot listen to ~7:20 of The Last Battle (~10:28 on the original LP) without making Artoo's scream.

Annnnnd I'm not laughing anymore.
 
FFS.

Maybe he’ll just go directly to Holst this time!

Well for your example you picked two films about the same character by the same director. Although for inexplicable reasons many people consider one to be the best of the MCU and the other among the worst even though they are strikingly similar. (NO I will not stop going on about it.)
 
If you can't tell Thor Ragnarok and Captain America: The Winter Soldier apart then I can't help you.

From what I had heard if TB had gotten with the new show runner's program he would have stayed. But he was used to being the 900 pound gorilla for years and years and that just wasn't going to be a thing anymore.
 
Now Hartnell on the other hand...
 
And yes, CB was absolutely shown the door.

Apparently it is indeed due to youtube's compression algorithm, as the uncompressed original 2gb file has grain.

Rise of Skywalker?

From "I'VE LOST R2!!!!!!!" onwards, I cannot not recite the narration for "The Story Of Star Wars":
"His wingman's TIE fighter disintegrates".
"What?!"
"Yahoo!"

Never forget where it started.

These two posts make me feel a little better about myself now that I'm not alone
