Oh my God this sounds AMAZING!

Maybe I just imagined that cause it seems like something Benedict Cumberbatch would have been in.

Was it? Isn't there one with Benedict Cumberbatch?

Right, the main Templar will like, shoot your friend in the head or something, so they must be evil. And I get that it's personal at that point. But as for the global conflict? How many widows and orphans do you leave behind taking out simple guardsmen? How many family members mourn so that you can make some ludicrous…

C'mon, the first one may not have much replay value now, but you're going to tell me it wasn't fucking awesome in it's day?

Assassin's Creed could be a great movie if they get someone who can write a decent story. I just hope they go with Renaissance Italy over the Crusades storyline.

They're well written if you're a paranoid libertarian conspiracy-theorist college freshman. To anyone else it can kind of make your brain hurt. I realized by the third game or so that I would be a Templar. Because apparently FDR, Jesus, and countless other men and women I admire were also Templars, and Assassins just…

Every other one is great imo. Black flag was very entertaining (my one gripe was the lack of trade ships and the insane numbers of enemy warships, could have been twice as big with half as much stuff in it and been more fun). But that's just it, it was a brand spanking new game we hadn't really played before with a…

MIB is in it? Definitely watching it now.

As in, yet another period piece show. I thought it was good enough.

That's how I read it anyway.

As you point out below Jedis were a dying breed and the Force was weakening. The religion probably would have been ancient as well. Heck Christianity is ancient now, doesn't stop people from following it.

I guess. I thought the Clone Army was supposed to be many many millions, figured they didn't outnumber the Jedi quite THAT much.

Oh, really? How do you maintain order over a galaxy with less than a hundred thousand people? That just opens up a whole other can of worms. One person per planet?

Also, how do you annihilate presumably hundreds of thousands of Jedi so effectively. Keep in mind Jedi can warp people's minds to do what they want. Presumably at least half the soldiers you send to find them would be of below average intelligence. That's a pretty huge gap in your dragnet.

I guess if you lived on a planet with rampant child slavery you might be a little more reserved about running off with a strange man. Though maybe the empire put an end to that? What the hell was up with that Republic, they couldn't govern for shit.

True, his track record was shit.

In the prequels they think Anakin is too old to be trained cause he's like, 10. And Obi-Wan is just like, "I think I'm going to wait until he's 25."

Well that's just lazy then. He waits until Luke just runs into him somewhere? That's not being proactive about saving the Galactic Republic. If you were say, a ten year old orphan, and some old man was like, "Hey I knew your parents that you never were told about." You can guarantee that kid would be slipping out of…

Really? There were moments of genuine excitement in the second one, a kind of silly, violent romp through Middle Earth. That was what The Hobbit was always supposed to be. The first was like a history lesson for half of it with no narrative flow. The third was, I reiterate, a big CGI cluster-fuck.
