Star Wars: Episode IX - THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

[guyver1]

You know Rey’s lightsaber skills were pretty flawless in TROS..which makes me wonder since Leia was training her the whole time..could’ve Leia been just as skilled as a Jedi if she didn’t quit

Flawless? She swung it like a bat kylo had grace and a move set . Rey swings it like some crazed idiot

I'm waiting for the white knight to proclaim "But...but...but...she's a Palpatine and beyond the use of a lightsaber" or some other such nonsense.

Wait, I thought she was a Mary Sue that could never lose? So now she's inept and pretty much a noob?

Now Jye, I don't want to shock you but Khev's opinion is NOT a fact

It is for me sister!

Nah.. The ST just went for a more OT style of Lightsaber Duel. Luke was pretty crazy with the saber in ROTJ.

Do you see what us old OT farts with one foot in the grave have to deal with now, fans who were reared only on the PT we now have to explain lightsaber swings similarities lol

Yes..... cause her fighting skills suck and she still manages to win

Nobody in the OT fought like that. Luke only swung it like that when he was angry. So nah

It's sad to think that these guys will be the ones discussing Star Wars when we are gone, lol.

You old farts need new glasses comparing the fights from this to the OT. The fights here were terrible . But of course it?s Disney wars and for some reason your convinced it flows so well and matches up with the OT perfectly but it?s nothing more than a soulless product lol

I can totally picture what SW discussions will look like:

I see this thread blew up again. I ignored this for a couple of days while binging The Americans, but my copy of TROS finally arrived yesterday so I watched it again last night (I enjoy it more every time I do!), then decided to play catch up. Reading this thread reminds me of watching a 1970s/1980s era women's clay court tennis rally, the kind that you thought no one would win and would go on forever. Somebody please pull a metaphorical hamstring and default already.

I did get a chuckle over a-dev's consternation over the abundance of acronyms being thrown about. Clearly he hasn't worked for a major manufacturing company. If he did, he'd probably need to learn a half dozen new TLAs every day.

SIFLWOTBOAESIH!

Sometimes I feel like we're on the brink of acronymizing entire sentences in here.

Just curious: what's your preferred alternative for this thread? What is it you'd like the discussion to be about? Throw something out there; change the subject to something you think would be more interesting. Be the change you want to see.

What a hilariously specific analogy, lol.

 

[jye4ever]

Not just tennis but clay court tennis lol

Yep it was the clay court that cinched it, lol.

I actually enjoy the discussion when it stays on point, it's when it diverges into PT vs. ST debates that I find it tedious, especially when people feel obliged to write a thesis defense every time they feel that their POV is being disrespected/attacked.

The analogy doesn't hold up without the clay. And to be clear, I was mentally excluding Martina Navratilova when I made it.

p.s. - Sorry, a-dev: POV = Point Of View.

p.p.s. - p.s. = postscript.

Well speaking of staying on point them I'm glad to hear that you're still enjoying TROS.
