Has there been a vibe shift on reddit regarding the Star Wars Sequels?

After years of relentless hate, I'm suddenly seeing loads of positivity about them.

I’m not gonna pretend The Sequels are perfect, but I also can’t pretend half the stuff in the left column doesn’t totally spit in the face of the original movies way more than the ST ever did. I’d rather have a flawed real Luke than a perfect edgelord Demigod.

The Ninth Jedi has made me want to exercise my own saber-smith skills. These are some original designs I made.

Designed my own personal lightsaber based on elements I’ve always wanted. What do you think?

Used an iPad app called PicsArt

Is Galaxy of Heroes at all fun to play?

I’m seeing ads for it constantly and I’m wondering if anyone actually enjoys playing it.

Controversial opinion: The Clone Wars tv series is out of bounds when speaking about the strengths and weaknesses of The Prequels.

Anything can be improved with a long-running tv series made years after the fact which is deliberately trying to rehabilitate the movies they’re set between.

When talking about the prequels and how they stand up as movies, the only things that are relevant are the movies themselves.

Part of the reason I still struggle with the prequels is that the whole thing hangs on Anakin actually believing this, and I struggle to conceive of the character being that stupid. I just don’t buy it based on how those movies choose to stage those events.

I do get the complaint about Luke, Han and Leia not having a scene together in The Sequels.

People are right, it is a shame.

But at the same time, I do like the scenes that can only exist if initially they’re apart— Han’s death,Rey finally finding Luke at the end of VII, Luke and Leia’s reunion on Crait. If I was rewriting those movies, I think I’d probably keep those scenes, they’re strong and work emotionally.

Those are some of my favourite scenes in those movies, and I don’t think a more upbeat scene of them all reunited would necessarily be better.

I don’t know, I’m of two minds about it.

A movie about why you shouldn’t let lying draft-dodging bastards get away with their shit.

How relevant.

Everything surrounding The Odyssey has been amazing

Saw the movie yesterday, loved it. Definitely gonna see it again, maybe even a third time. Easily top three Nolan movies. Seeing a movie which makes you remember why you love cinema is such a pure and good experience.

But on top of that, the bacon on the mac and cheese— has been the right-wing coping and seething over the movies both critical and commercial success. It’s so exquisite.

In the face of everyone who said this movie would bomb: Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

If the rumours are true, I think casting young for Professor X and Magneto might be the smartest thing Marvel have done for awhile

It gives the potential for years of movies, various iterations of the X-Men Team, and a wider variety of stories that can be adapted.

If you’d asked me a few years ago which host of 2 Bears, 1 Cave’s marriage was gonna collapse first, I would NOT have said Tom’s.

LeeAnn Kreischer man, patience of a saint.

Was looking at DW memorabilia on EBay. I saw this and realised that however bad things are currently for the show, they could be so much worse…

This was a low point in history.

With the benefit of hindsight, this was a massive warning sign.

I don’t even mean this in a right-wing way, but RTD being so blasé about totally erasing part of the identity of a classic villain should have been a warning sign.

How would people feel if Turles was made canon confirmed to be related to Goku?

Given we got Broly in canon decades after he was introduced as a movie-only character and expanded into a much more interesting version, if they did the same with Turles and confirmed that he was another son of Bardock— would you be excited or annoyed?

(Spoilers Extended) How different do you think things would have been if Viserys married Dany himself.

Obviously that’s not unusual for their family, and presuming the union would lead to children— he’d suddenly have potentially many sons and daughters he could offer to betroth to people who could give you an army or armies.

It really does highlight how colossally stupid Viserys was that he had two assets— his own youth, and a controllable young Targaryen Princess for a sister, and he managed to waste both. If he’d married Daenerys, waited a few years his position would have been so much stronger.

One thing I don’t get about the wrestlers pod

If the point is that they’re supposed to act like pricks and not drop that act— why were so many fans excited to have them on the pod?

Cos when I read comments on the announcement loads of people (presumably wrestling fans) were excited about them being guests on the pod. I hadn’t heard of them but assumed they must be likeable characters.

But if you’re a wrestling fan, and you know they play these thin as a cigarette paper bad guy “heel” characters— why would you be excited to hear them interviewed on the pod, surely you’d know that won’t be a good interview? Or were fans who were aware of them thinking they wouldn’t be in-character?
