I wonder how much of it was the kid's fault and how much of it was Lucas' dialogue and direction.

Just watched it.... loved the duel...
Overall the series was good. Felt like some of the cool Star Wars comic books they've been doing, but instead of making a comic they said F it, threw a bunch of money around, and did it live action. Even 6 episodes the way a typical comic book arc these days is 6 issues. I predicted from the start that one of the points of the entire series was gonna be Darth Vader flat out telling Obi-Wan that he killed Anakin to justify Kenobi later telling Luke the same thing. Like others, yeah, I feel like they should have had more reason for Kenobi to leave Vader alive this time. Feels like at that point at that moment he should have felt ok ending it. Feel like I want to watch A New Hope again and look for any evidence that Leia doesn't treat Obi-Wan as a complete stranger. |

Why doesn’t Wedge have his own show yet?
The Cantina Band could be the musical act for his talk show. |

obviously screw anyone who used this as an excuse to be racist, but still can we acknowledge that the 3rd Sister is one of the dumbest, worst written characters in Star Wars history?

Same thing when vader force pulls a ship into the ground, then immediately forgets the force powers he just used and lets the other ship go. Just absolute dogcrap writing.

she's not great. also both the black characters having hard american dialects made them feel REALLY out of place. i guess theyre from space Compton. always feel like english and southern are the only 2 dialects that feel right in the setting.

as far as the community being racist most of that is manufactured. its fake twitter nonsense. very little of that is 2 authentic people. and on the rare occasion it is 1 tweet from 1 rando. most though is hate marketing which has proven to be VERY effective.

Honestly,best part was the final battle between Kenobi and Vader. otherwise this series sucked fat balls and was completely fucking pointless. added absolutely nothing to the story of Star Wars .

Luke and Han have non-acents. not rengional at all. leah had like a vaguely regal non accent. it was non with a dab of english. "american accent" isnt a thing btw. its a big place. we have dozens. the thing you mean is "american" is the what the radio used to call the non-accent. also called the neutral accent. its not from anywhere. when a foreigner speaks in "american" they learn a non-accent.
which sounds fine in space films. its generic. same with nuetral-english. southern always works for working class folk in any medium. if youre doing rustic space southern works for whatever reason. really specific accents like cajun or northern-albertan sound fucking weird galaxies away. truly bizzare. you immediately feel the fourth wall shatter. |

Fischer didnt. not initially anyways. her natural speaking voice is much harsher. so softened her voice up for most of her roles. listen to her in interviews or even when she would sing and its a much more masculine voice

Hollywood didn’t invent the generic yank accent, that was probably the South by way of mockery.
The generic Southern accent sounds like it comes from mockery too but then so do all of the individual Southern ones so maybe that’s just how they sound down there. |

the mid atlantic accent isnt "generic yank." its literally not spoken anywhere outside of old hollywood films.

I don’t think the Transatlantic accent was a Hollywood invention bud. It caught on there but it was a social thing more than anything.
Cary Grant is the epitome of that accent and most of the best examples will be from Hollywood but that’s only because most widely seen old film is from movies. It was definitely around before films spread the appeal. |

Wiki agrees with me.
Says it was around in the 19th century. Destor what’s your favourite Hollywood film from the 1800’s? |

The pioneer of the dialect, William Tilly, literally deliberately taught it to actors as a method to popularize it in hopes it would spread "correct speech" in his mind.

the number of rich coastal elites in america in the mid 1800s is like 50 people. this accent was manufactured into existance chiefly by one mans efforts and rose to awareness culturally specifically through its usage in film. and since youve already established you think wikipedia is an arbiter of truth there's really nothing more to be said on the topic

How can you say you won't enjoy it when it hasn't happened yet? You just want to believe you won't enjoy it but there is a possibility you will even if you won't admit it.

If he has those bumps naturally I bet the ladies don’t believe him when he says it.
They probably think he has space warts. Space Warts: A New Hope Title actually works… the sequels are “Strikes Back” and “Return Of” so we know evil wins the day or is impossible to kill. He won’t be mauling anything with his dick looking like that. |

Vader can force grab a fuckin space ship as it's boosting away but can't jump over waist high fire lol
Jedi becoming earth benders suddenly was pretty cheesy Vader and Obi leaving each other alive when they could've just ended it multiple times Farmers holding a sith off with random trash laying around the house Obi dressing as a jedi when the empire is searching for jedi erasing the fact that obi and anakin were jedi masters and having them both act like retards glass in an underwater military facility not being bullet proof |

You would think that after Obi-Wan left Vader alive and took off in the shuttle, the Grand Inquisitor in the nearby star destroyer would have shot it down immediately. Unless Vader instructed them to not wait in orbit and to just leave him there.

The concepts and ideas in the prequels is great, but the execution is as bad as it gets in moviemaking. It’s an unwatchable abomination of CGI, greenscreens, and wooden acting with dialogue that sounds like it was written by an AI bot.
The exact opposite is true for the sequel trilogy - great execution in filmmaking, but stupid unoriginal ideas (sans parts of The Last Jedi, which has great ideas, but the neckbeards couldn’t handle their precious manbaby Luke being treated like less than a god). |

after 40 years having one of the most iconic characters in history, not just through film but all of narrative throughout time, become a weak coward and betray every narrative these long rime fans had read over 4 decades is not a good idea.
people literally had been waiting their entire lives to see what their childhood hero grew up to do. its easily the most tone def moment in film history. the fact you can accurately describe luke as a man baby should shed some light on how bad your take is. "hey you know the great hero of franchise? what if he wasnt?" yeah great idea. |
