The Picard ManeuverPerspectives keep rapidly changing
UltraMagnus0001I think my kids are old enough to appreciate the jokes in Full Metal Jacket now. I got them to watch LOTR and now we started with The Hobbit. Star Wars next, but that’s a tough one, since it seems old to them, but maybe I’ll start with Rogue One since it’s the best modern star wars movie.
Honestly it might be the best Star wars movie, period. At least from todays perspective.
The original trilogy was groundbreaking for their own time but haven’t aged the best. As with many media, what was innovative 40 years ago is cliche and stale today.
theneverfoxI always hear that. I couldn’t get more than 30 seconds into the movie
Episode 8 made me unable to watch the movies. But Episode 7 killed Star wars for me though - when it came down our entire department took a half day to go together
I’ll never forget walking out of that theatre, the people who only kinda liked it were happy, the guy who memorized wookepedia was disappointed, then I shared a look with my team lead, who has been a diehard fan since the originals, he’s a big old school nerd.
We just shared a look of despair and loss, something we loved died that day. We’d both extensively read the extended universe, and we’d talk about it frequently. I don’t think we ever brought up Star wars again after that day
