It's amusing in a painful way to watch someone talk about consistency of technology comparing 2 films 40 years apart .
If you cannot understand why the movie had to change to adapt to today's film audience then your lost.....
Why not start complaining about Batman TV series versus 89 versus TDK. Why didn't Batman have Dog repellant? He had shark repellent in the 70's???
Or Battlestar Galactica
Or upcoming Blade Runner, because I am sure we will see things in that that we didn't in the original....
hook, line and sinker
I'm just sowing the seeds of discontent. I've already left some nuggets in these posts for someone like Jye to parrot later on when this discussion inevitably pops back up.
That's the thing Khev fails to understand. Memes. He just can't get into memetic warfare. While he's going on about how the canon works, I'm subverting the topic with zingers like General Grievous' claw feet, or Erso's ****ing moisture vaporators. So now, when this petty argument about canon rears it's ugly head again, I won't even need to make a post. Jye, a-dev, Zach, whoever, will inevitably recall our original convo we had without even thinking and do battle against the likes of Khev and xipotec, making them go into a foaming frenzy while I sit back and lol.
That's not all. Now when you watch these movies, you'll be thinking about what we discussed. When you watch Star Wars, you won't be thinking "wow, this matches up perfectly with RO", oh no, you'll be thinking about what good ole' DiFabio said and how it actually doesn't connect at all. You'll be looking for K2SO's and asian rebels in the backgrounds of your favorite scenes and then realize that THEY AREN'T THERE. You'll ask yourself why, why would they do this to me. Then you'll remember what D said and take comfort in my words. In the end, I've been playing 5D chess with a flippable backgammon board while Khev has been merely playing checkers.
Now, I need some rest. Between cutting grass, mulching and having these forum wars with my inferiors, I'm beat. I need to save my energy for the TLJ and Han Solo wars in an effort to convince this board, no, THE WORLD, that there are only two legitimate Star Wars movies.
