As for Hoth, yeah, definitely best to give the rebels 20 extra minutes to escape rather than losing some bombers to the Rebels' three turrets. That totally sounds like Vader in ESB, looking out for the lives of his own men as he zero'd in on Skywalker, lol.

Jesus dude that’s just lolz epic

"It's a trick JAWS, quick tell him that you whenever you need to blow off steam you pop open a Tab, listen to Rush, and watch B-O-D-H-I R-O-O-K broadcast the message at the end of Rogue One!"

perfect lol

Sometimes it is.. Being in the class room can be a bit tedious but I get to go out on the floor a lot of the time and be the hero to the Providers when they need help. We have a pretty big Hospital with lots of off site areas also.. So I get to travel and listen to music

Sometimes I am even posting on SSF

For 12 years I use to work in Group Homes for Troubled Youth... That was not boring and I don't miss it

I did time as a medic in NYC... That was not boring and I don’t miss it either

Other than Jyn and Krennic, I don't remember a single character's name.

Not one.

Bor I only remember because jye brought him up.

But do you know Wor-Garllet?

Hey Jye!! Whenever I need to blow off stream I pop open a Tab, listen to Rush, and watch B-O-D-H-I R-O-O-K broadcast the message at the end of Rogue One!

lulz perfect

The reason for the “chase” is explained in dialogue as it starts.

The map is less cut and dry but it’s in pieces, in undisclosed locations, with no instruction from Luke how to find them. The simplest read on that IMO is that they are not intended to be found.

Settled for Friday! Drinks on me, guys!

lulz I love me some cold beer alot lol

If you liked Luke, Snoke throne room scene, and Holdo's kamikaze then you should be able to enjoy the opening battle and Crait attack well enough to give the overall movie a pass. Come on now JAWS, you're just being stubborn.

I bet JAWS childhood nickname was Stubborn JAWS! lol

Despite some wooden acting, some bad dialogue and some below par CGI, the universe building, the stories, the imagination and the design in the prequels are miles better than just about anything in the ST.

Clones > Ducktroopers
Maul > Kylo
Battle over Coruscant > Slow-Mo chase

Just to name a few.

Of course, feel free to bring up Jar Jar...
However, Jar Jar was a monumental achievement (animation-wise) for the time.

It would be very easy for me to do a ST > PT set of posts you know lol

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019

Didn’t Poe put the “hot head” female Holdo in her place?

Sure seemed like he did when he shoved a gun into her face!

Where was the “tradition” of “finding your own way” sacrificed?!

Poe didn’t find his own way?

Didn’t Leia put him back in charge at the end?

Rey found her own way when she decided to leave Luke!

Kylo found his own way he killed Snoke!

Hell Rian found his own way as a director HE UPHELD YOUR SW TRADITION that you are so embracing yet here you are hating Rian for doing so!

People clumsily pick and choose what to complain about while ignoring the movie that’s right under their noses.

The answers are all in the movie to all these questions.

I mean holy crap you are complaining that they “sacrificed” the SW “tradition” of questioning authority YET Rian had Poe question authority it was all part of his arc lol

Luke even questioned authority!!!

Where was questioning authority sacrificed please show me lol

Oh my head lol

I think you're completely missing the point Jye...
Question authority and find your own way to do good, to do right by your friends, to find and uphold your own principles... and triumph in the end.

Shoving a gun in Holdo's face wasn't that. That was just more debunking the "hero".
C'mon Jye, that's just silly.
And bringing the director's approach into the discussion, that has nothing to do with anything... we're talking about the stories here, what the movies stand for.
The fact that Leia put him back in charge... what does that have to do with anything? Being put back in charge by the authority figure has nothing to do with finding your own destiny! For chirssakes, just read what you wrote...

Anyway, we're just going to argue around each other, so I'll leave it at that.

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019

1. Blow up Yavin
2. See if it took the rebel moon with it
3. If the moon is still there destroy it with one final unobstructed shot

vs. orbiting the planet for 30 minutes while the Rebels attack you and/or the entire Alliance simply gets on ships and evacuates the solar system.

Do we know how long it takes to prep the Death Star's weapon for repeat firing?
But yeah, I think it would make more sense to blow up Yavin, but it would've robbed the movie of its third act tension.
Which can't be said of the slo-mo chase. So, film-wise, I can forgive ANH's lack of logic, whereas I can't on TLJ.

You literally just described the mindset as to why Hux didn't send bombers after Leia. Well done.

As for Hoth, yeah, definitely best to give the rebels 20 extra minutes to escape rather than losing some bombers to the Rebels' three turrets. That totally sounds like Vader in ESB, looking out for the lives of his own men as he zero'd in on Skywalker, lol.

Wait, what?
What do you mean Leia?

As for Hoth, it still seems more logical to send heavily armoured ground troops to harass the evac while still having your Star Destroyers to pick off the escaping ships...

I was going to say "if you're a 5-year-old", but then my 5-year-old second cousin once removed would take issue with that.

Dude, seriously?
You're actually telling me that Jar Jar was not ground breaking for the time?
That's like saying 1933 King Kong wasn't ground breaking for its time.

I've been posting too much, I'll just go do something else for a while.

'33 King Kong > Jar Jar

Kong is still impressive even today. Jar Jar wasn't very impressive even in 1999. Not after the 1993 T-rex. Nothing's been that staggering, except maybe Davy Jones in terms of realism. Now Jones was impressive.

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019

Here's one for you JAWS:

lol

Imagine if you will that she does tell him that. Poe knows the idea.. Hux is not an idiot and sends tie fighters.. Now Poe and his fellow fighters have to fight off an attack or two from the tie fighters.. Keep them off long enough until they reach the planet and use the cloak transport ships..

I don't know something exciting and/or intelligent would have been great.. Don't you think??

Everything there I just highlighted happened in TLJ.

TLJ WAS EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT!

Ok now you’re scaring me

If you like Maul, Duel of the Fates, and Qui Gon you should be able to enjoy the pod race well enough to give The Phantom Menace a pass. Come on now Khev, you're just being stubborn

But only if certain people do it.. Questioning authority and finding his own way to do good did not work out for Poe. Doing right by your friends and upholding your own principles was great for Rose because Luke showed up.. But lets face facts that whole Rose saving Fin thing was stupid

And all I hear from the supporters if how the resistance is decimated at the end.. So I guess there is no triumph Which I would be fine with but they did it in such a "meh" way..

I would say everything you mentioned lines up more with Qui Gon.. Except for that hole triumph at the end

I would give it a pass if it didn't ruin any OT characters.

Revelation that Rey's parents are nobodies >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> revelation that Darth Vader built C-3PO. Dafuq??? lol

This is a 100% fact

Too bad that wooden acting, bad dialogue, and below par CGI really dragged those films down to the sewers

But C-3PO's revelation is not a major plot point.. So while stupid, it can be ignored (not really )

Rey's parents.. That was set up to be a major plot point but.. You know.. Johnson had to IM3 it.

And the ST did something just as bad.. It ruined our OT characters lives.. No happy ending after Jedi.. Han and Leia? Divorced absentee parents. Luke? A failure and a Hermit. Their victory? Nothing but a empty promise Even R2 D2 cant be happy in the ST.


Nah.. ST was just as guilty as PT in ruining our fav characters.

Leia placed Poe in charge at the end how did it not work out for him?

Ohhhh JAWS you’re breaking my heart.

You’re going down a path I can not follow.
