Sadly yes. He couldn’t handle the love of the ST and his rants never broke through to them so ultimately he broke down lolSo it's their fault?
Peace guys.

Hahaha yes I got that. Just having a bit of fun.Lol no. Actually they had nothing to do with it. He just did it randomly
Still a big mistake that barista isn’t even fit to work Dunkin Donuts no less run LF the job should’ve went to JF.KK has been extended so the ST is safe... for now.
Sorry Filoni fanatics but definitely not him either.
Retconning the ST will never hurt as much as what George did to the OT.I honestly wonder how freakin salty you’d be if they do retcon it. I’d imagine you’d take a metal bat to all your Star Wars collectibles and try abs burn skywalker ranch

There is some truth to that. They could retcon the ST and the PT and I would not bat an eye to that. Even though I find things that I enjoy in both… as films they will always be there… As SW lore goes both trilogy could have done things so much better.Because, deep down, everyone knows the ST is **** and wouldn't care if it did get retconned?
Eh… I feel like the guys who grew up with the OT have a crazy attachment to it. For me they are just good movies but nothing magical and it’s because growing up I was surrounded by literally new innovative movies raiding the bar. Lord of the rings for example.There is some truth to that. They could retcon the ST and the PT and I would not bat an eye to that.

there is only one OT and in almost 35 years nobody has come close to capturing that magic in the SW universe.
Yeah it is baffling the love these people have for the OT. Especially the Theatrical versions. Like you say they are ok but nothing special and the more time marches on the more dated they look with their basic special effects. The changes GL did at least made parts of the OT more modern looking and tie-in with the PT somewhat better.Eh… I feel like the guys who grew up with the OT have a crazy attachment to it.

I love them but I feel like sometimes you just had to have been there to appreciate the magic. Cause everyone went insane over them apparently lol

There is a difference in updating some effects and making changes that effect the story and end up looking stupid.Yeah it is baffling the love these people have for the OT.

Yea jp also blew me away. Then we had films like Harry Potter, the early 00s marvel films , so much I can’t name right now. The pt had lots of competition aswell. Harry Potter was freaking huge back in the day.. but again I look at the Star Wars ot as just… eh. Like I said I was caught on by the overall lore and everything surrounding the pt.Eh???? Eh, you say????
Why are you here again???
First off let me say that if you read my statement I was referring to the fact that the films were magical and in 35 years no Star Wars film has been able to grab that magic. And I stand by that. I was not referring to all films.
the point you make is something I have been saying every time people bash on the ST toys. There is so much out there for the modern viewer. The PT really only had LOTR as competition as far as trilogy films go. Then you have the ST which is buried in competition.
Star Wars really had none. It was something that had never been seen before. It was truly a magical experience and when you add in the toys… Well our minds were consumed with thoughts of a galaxy far far away. Plus special effects never really got any better until the use of CGI came along… it really was the pinnacle of fantasy film making.
Then take the fact that the first two films are great movies and are true classics that deserve respect and not to be “Eh” at when discussing the importance of them.
But you seem to think I was talking about all films.. Which I was not.
However
The Only experience watching films that captured the same magic as the original SW films was Jurassic Park. That had the same wow factor that the original SW films had on me.
I love LOTR but JP was the film that took that leap with photo real monsters and LOTR just did not blow me away like the OT and JP did

Yep adding CGI to the OT was one of GL's greatest moves. We went from bland & boring to PT levels of awesomeness!
Indeed. It was fortunate for us all that Terminator Genisys saved that franchise from the mediocrity of the first two movies and finally enabled me to become a fan. I was similarly relieved when Alien Resurrection and The Predator dragged those earlier movies in their respective franchises out of the mire.
Thank God for CGI.
Speaking ofYea jp also blew me away.
Speaking of
Saw this on youtube, I had no idea the next film must be near release
Couldn't find a specific thread for it.
I loved dinosaurs as a kid but JP didn't grab me -- I was very impressed and all, but the film itself ... it's not burned into my brain.I love LOTR but JP was the film that took that leap with photo real monsters and LOTR just did not blow me away like the OT and JP did
That prologue was boring did nothing for me.
