Star Wars

[Pipe Line]

So didn’t make it all the way through New Hope last night but did some Vader research while watching the movie cause that’s just one of the things I do. I know this is already well known, but when the fuck did Anakin Skywalker become Vader? The only version of Anakin I was aware of is clean cut Hayden Christiansen, and he’s definitely not in the old school New Hope that I’m aware of yet. Talk about mindblown on my end

That's the major overall premise of the prequels.

Welcome to episodes 1-3

This series kinda sounds like a tough sell to be honest, just based on the comments

I’ve never watched one because it’s always looked and sounded very ghey and nerdy. It’s likely that your thoughts about it from childhood (much like mine were) will be the same today. Save yourself the misery!

Watch something cool like Top Gun 1& 2. If you‘ve already done that, do it again. Way more badass

I never watched 9 after how crap 8 was

Yes I have this on me at all times. And I had been watching the movies annually until this year to reconsider the order. Because often lack of rewatching the full series in the past 18 months I’m probably over rating the newer movies.

Gotta say, but Captain America: Winter Soldier is too low. Should be top three.

Nine isn’t much better. Both 8 and 9 are now the ugly step children of the Star Wars family.

That’s what happens when you don’t have a creative director to have one story to be told over three movies and you don’t have the same director on all three.

Why Katherine Kennedy didn’t get fired because of that, I don’t know.

I watched Top Gun 1 back in the summer time I think, around the time #2 was being released. Great movie, don't know why I waited so long to see it.

Maaaaaaaaaybe I should have watched some background on that, maybe.

 

[Pipe Line]

That's the major overall premise of the prequels.

Ahhhhhhhhhh got it, so the prequels to the 70s is modern day. Makes sense

 

[Tsakoi]

I think a more interesting thread would be a list of culturally popular franchise inspiring movies/series that @Pipe Line hasn't seen.

Please tell me he hasn't seen GoT so we can send him to watch it and witness the miracle together.

I haven't seen GoT. I hope this helps

 

[Huskerbuck85]

I’m just still wondering why we shouldn’t get @Tsakoi started on Chief Borders

 

[skersker]

I’ll still can’t get over how much 7-9 sucked

RoS was horrible

they were the exact same movies as 4-6 so i assume you hate those too...

 

[Tsakoi]

We need one brave soul to watch GoT from start to finish and document their thoughts in a thread here as they progress through the episodes.

Preferably someone who has zero familiarity with the series or books.....a true "Unsullied" as they are often referred to.

The rest of us will observe and comment without spoilers.

Hilarity will follow.

I would be the right person

[Poor_and_Stupid]

Episode 4
Episode 5
Episodes 1-3
Episode 6

ObiWan series

Rogue One

Andor

Solo

Mandalorian

Episode 7-9

This, no matter how you do it you absolutely need to watch 4 and 5 first.

Just pretend 7-9 don’t exist. Don’t waste your time with those.

 

[skersker]

are you on drugs

4 and 7 are literal carbon copies.

 

[ChocaEgg]

4 and 7 are literal carbon copies.

I enjoyed 7 and thought there was some good potential for 8 & 9, but 8 was such a fucking disaster of a movie that no matter how hard they tried to get things back on track with 9 they were fucked.
