But all of Audi’s line up looks like they copy-pasted a single model and used the scaling tool to fit it into a certain volume of space.

I’ve owned a bunch of Audis. What they had was super clean interiors, they hid screens when not in use and useful buttons/knobs were easy to find while keeping your eye’s on the road. They were not super edgy in their delivery of performance but they just ate miles and corners while maintaining very good manners.…

If the last twenty years or so have taught me anything, it’s that hardcore Star Wars fans can never be satisfied. Someone could make a perfectly decent movie and they’d still hate it because it didn’t match the imaginary sequels they’d spent decades imagining.

The future of Star Wars is 6-10 episode miniseries, and standalone movies. That’s why they’ve recruited Feige.

I don’t understand people’s frustration with TLJ. I’ve always felt so much bad happened in the Star Wars universe because the Jedi adhered so strongly to their beliefs. The story was always the same. They were forced to leave their loved ones, told not to love, etc., and shit eventually came back to bite them in the…

I mean, Abrams is a hack so of course he'll throw shade at the best Star Wars movie since 1981.

So fucking sick of these fake Star Wars fans who hate the prequels and the sequels and anything with which they just see fit to condemn because it exists outside of their narrow comfort zones.

My list:

“i kissed a girl, she disliked it” probably wouldn’t have been as big a hit

I had loved Crichton’s book The Lost World, and was very disappointed how little of the book’s plot made it into the movie.

But see, that’s the cool thing about Star Wars - there’s something in it somewhere for everyone. If he enjoys it, let him enjoy it (not that you would tear it from his grasp or anything, but you know what I mean). I honestly don’t have much of an issue with TPM or any of the prequels in that regard. They really are…

When Ben goes to wet Macworld, I still get the best chills watching the clones incubating, music swelling... through to coming off the conveyor belt.

To piggyback on your point - this is exactly why I have so much trouble even hearing out the people that hate Last Jedi and decry it as the worst thing Star Wars has ever done.  Like, have you ever even seen the prequels?  If we are talking just on a purely technical level it has the prequels beat at every turn.  If…

Yeah, but I wouldn’t expect a general audience member or even a casual fan to remember that, given that Jedi came out 16 years earlier and Ian McDiarmid played the role under heavy makeup.

I was born on May 25, 1975, EXACTLY 2 years old when Star Wars was released. My dad was a pretty big George Lucas fan already (American Graffiti and even THX 1138) so they went on opening day with me in tow, tempting the fates. I swear I remember seeing it that day, but I realize that’s impossible. It could just be…

I get that people rag on the podrace for being too long for being such a low-stakes mid-movie sequence, but that scene is such a pure George Lucas bit — wearing its classic movie influences on its sleeve, a wild outlandish Flash Gordon-y sport, a hint of 1960s American Graffiti car culture — that I can’t dislike it.…

Anyone that was a kid when this movie was released gets a pass, because a) it was directed (too much) for young kids and b) you are allowed your nostalgia. If it was my first star wars movie I”m sure I’d hold a lot of affection for it. Now when I watch it I just see what should have been and I’m disappointed.

Gonna have to disagree with Matt Wade. He says you have to build the story and can’t jump right in. But that’s exactly what Star Wars did. We had three sentences of text and then bam, a ship is getting attacked by a bigger ship, people in weird hats are getting shot by people in weird outfits, this dude comes on screen…

Say what you will about the story, the settings for E1-3 are outstanding.

The sequels could use a lot more of this shit and fewer “empty  biome” planets.
