Pepijn Vemer"So this is how liberty dies.
With thunderous applause."
Surprisingly enough (for me anyway) the best in my rewatch so far.
Although with the same problems with Eps 1, 2, 4-6: every time somebody opens their mouth it often sounds ridiculous.
Darth Hideout 🏳️🌈This is both boon & bane, in a way. The bar for dialog in #StarWars has always been absurdly low at least as far back as, "scruffy-looking nerf herder," or even, "the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs." So I don't really care for the most part. I'm in it for the lightsabers.
That 👆 was long-rumored to be a ghostwritten line by Tom Stoppard, though that's since been debunked. But I have a hard time believing Lucas wrote it.
@darth_hideout I've never been much of a Star Wars fan, other than the cool ideas, fantastic visuals (mostly those in space) and great music.
Doing a rewatch with Minion #2, but the humour, story and dialogue keep kicking me out of my attention.
Still, the nostalgia is very satisfying.
(And Ian McDiarmid is fantastic.)
-rb@PepijnVemer @darth_hideout after the main movies, I advise Andor season 1&2, then Rogue One, which ends 12 seconds before A New Hope.
@dashrb @darth_hideout I actually really liked Rogue One. Will look into Andor. Thanks.
Not sure if I'm up for "baby Yoda" though, seeing how Lucas has handled "funny cute" in the form of C-3PO, JarJar and "laugh out loud fun with bumbling droids in the background".
@PepijnVemer @darth_hideout that’s fair. I’m not personally a huge Mandalorian fan but I do watch it. The baby Yoda has a few amusing “naive” moments but nothing as insultingly comedic as jar jar or even c3p0.
Andor though, that’s some serious anti-fascist storytelling. For me, it was absolutely fantastic.
