Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (2015) Discussion Thread
This sentiment begs the question: why not start with a totally new space opera with new characters and plots altogether?
Star Wars has been pretty well played out since 1983, no?
(I'd make an exception for Tartakovsky's Clone Wars)
At the very freakin' least, I'd hope we finally get to see some decent lightsaber swordplay.
The cheesy Chinese style of spinning blades, flipping and casual sword twirls were ridiculous and completely neutered what should have been amazingly dynamic fencing. I personally cheered when Quite Gone Gin died because his swordplay was like that of a spastic cheerleader. Maul should have cut off Quiggy's d!ck and shoved it up his a$$ for fencing like such a goofball.
Having a massless blade with a universal cutting edge invites the promise of something new, something that's never been seen before.
Instead, we got the usual flashy kung-fu cliches and baton twirling. Just unrealistic spinning, flipping and the same two handed strikes over and over again.
Lucas's Jedi always swing their blades like hyperactive kids when instead they should be fighting almost completely with their wrists. These dudes are supposed to be practically precognitives, yet they telegraph their moves to a ridiculous extent.
The Sidious vs. Windu fight was cringe-worthy choreography. And that's compared to Vader vs. Kenobi in ANH!
Count Dookie-ball came the closest to actual fencing.
Yoda resembled Sonic the Hedgehog. Face-palmingly laughable, the prequel swordplay was.

Ugh. That single gif sums up the prequels pretty well. Nonsensically complicated and gratuitously showy.The moment that ruined the saber fight for me in ROTS
Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (2015) Discussion Thread
That gif reminds me of the duel in The Princess Bride where the Dread Pirate Roberts is swinging his sword in such a way that Inigo Montaya just flails his rapier wildly in total confusion.
Probably not what GL was going for in the most anticipated lightsaber duel of all.

That's EXACTLY what I thought as well.

That whole prequel was a mess. There is not one thing that impressed me or made me think wow. I still am bewildered that any of that made it to screen, how many yes men saw that garbage and never felt like they were betraying the fans. Anakin made c3po, Jango Fett and al the clones, Yoda using physical violence, Anakin piloting the ship that destroys the blockade, Jar Jar, robots with emotions and say stupid s*** like uh-oh, I can go on forever. It is ridiculous the hatred and bitterness I have for those movies. I want to go to a hypnotist and have him remove any memory of seeing them, I might have to go to a Star Wars physiologist.

Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (2015) Discussion Thread
I've thought about that. . .but then, you wouldn't know any better and would probably watch them again--for the first time!!! Is there anything more nightmarish than the horror of having to go through that again? Better to just drink a lot whenever you start thinking about them.
