Star Wars : TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT

TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT

Too many Star Wars fans just do *not* get Star Wars, they just don't. Sad really. Star Wars is just not that hard to get. Don't believe me? I have a challenge for you then ... if you *dare*.



Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT

There's nothing to get.

Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT

Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT

Still no takers?

Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT

Walmart or E-bay. You're right, the answer isn't hard at all.

Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT

I get it.

Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT

Do you? If so I have one simple question ... who is the main character of Star Wars?

Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT

Anakin/Darth Vader or even Obi-Wan would be the obvious answer. Although I would argue that it would be R2.

Wrong on all counts.

Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT


Wrong on all counts.


Well so far you have yet to answer the question. The prequel trilogy was clearly a story about Darth Vader (it could be argued that it was about Obi-Wan even). The OT was clearly about Luke (or again, it could be argued that it was about Vader or Obi-Wan). In The Force Awakens Rey was clearly the main character. Over all of the films though R2 is a constant, Lucas has even been quoted as saying that the movies are seen through R2's perspective. So please, since all of us cool kids don't get it and you seem to have some kind of divine insight, please enlighten us, because I'm about the biggest SW fan you'll ever meet. But I'm apparently not a "real fan". I'd love to hear this.

No response. That's what I thought.

Lucas has even been quoted as saying that the movies are seen through R2's perspective

which makes him 'the observer', not the protagonist of ANY of the stories. R2 rarely takes more than a minor role in most of the story, and is often left behind on the ship, or told to wait while others go ahead and do stuff.

Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT

But GL also says that the prequels don't really support the idea that R2 is the narrator.

Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT

That's stupid, like asking who's the main hero of the Marvel Universe. no answer can be considered wrong.

I didn't have time to read your ENtire post, but that theory has been around for years.

Those who say the prequels suck don't understand Star Wars and especially they don't understand George Lucas.

Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT

No one understands George Lucas.

Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT


bubblegum_jenocide: No one understands George Lucas.

Rubbish. George Lucas is a megagenius. All it takes to understand him is an open mind or/and intelligence. Why? Because he operates on much higher level than people in general. It takes an open mind or/and intelligence to accept his higher lever stuff. Narrow-minded people don't accept any higher levels (they want stuff on their own level). That's why for example Jar Jar Binks is found an annoying character. People process the character on their own level, when they should process the character on Lucas' higher level and realise how funny and entertaining it is.

Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT

That doesn't contradict what I said. In fact, it validates what I said.

People can't think on his level. Now, whether that level is higher lower, that's the debate. Personally, I say he can do what he wants--or wanted, when he owned the property. If he wants to milk the Star Wars tit for as long as he can before dumping the property to Disney, God bless.

But there's no rule that says we all have to be along for the ride.

Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT


bubblegum_jenocide: That doesn't contradict what I said. In fact, it validates what I said.

You can say some or most people don't understand George Lucas. I understand him and I can't be the only one. I am sure Steven Spielberg understands him too.

Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT

Oh. Did you take "no one" literally? That's not what I meant.

Though, what is there to understand? He makes movies. I like some; I dislike others. That really doesn't take the understanding of the filmmaker.

Whether one understands him or not has no bearing on someone liking the prequels or Jar Jar.

I guess I don't understand what understanding Lucas has to do with people's personal opinions.

Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT


bubblegum_jenocide: Oh. Did you take "no one" literally? That's not what I meant.

Yes, I did take it literally. Some people do, and therefor it's good not to exacerbate vainly.

If it was not what you meant then what you said is fine with me.


bubblegum_jenocide: Though, what is there to understand? He makes movies. I like some; I dislike others. That really doesn't take the understanding of the filmmaker.

What is there to understand? Why his movies are the way they are.


bubblegum_jenocide: Whether one understands him or not has no bearing on someone liking the prequels or Jar Jar.

I don't think so. A movie is a lower level projection of higher level ideas, because you can imagine better than you can produce on silver screen. That's why people say books are better than movies made from the same books. You use your imagination when you read a book. When you understand that, you see how OT and PT are different kind of projections of the same higher level creativity. OT didn't have Jar Jar, but Lucas' higher level creativity has and we see Jar Jar in PT. People dislike Jar Jar because OT gave them an impression that such creatures don't belong to Star Wars, but those people are wrong. Their undertanding of Star Wars is limited to the lower level where the movies are seen on silver screen.

OT is "romantic" in nature.
PT is "historical" in nature.
ST will be "nostalgic" judging from episode VII (but it's not Lucas anymore)


bubblegum_jenocide: I guess I don't understand what understanding Lucas has to do with people's personal opinions.

People have their opinions and are entitled to them. Having an opinion does not mean understanding. In fact strong opinions are often a sign of lack of understanding.

Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT

You guy are just proving my original post. Sad.

Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT

Funny that you won't actually tell anyone your theory on it. Sounds like BS to me.

No one understands George Lucas.

You can LISTEN to Lucas. But you can't HEAR Lucas.

My man, you might have Lucas confused with Jimi there. ;-)

No worries. It was highly improbable that people on a Star Wars board would get a 'white men can't jump' reference to begin with.

If you're interested in awesome trash talk though, I'd highly recommend that movie:

"Man, shut your anorexic malnutrition tapeworm-having overdose on Dick Gregory Bahamian diet-drinking ass up. Leave me alone!"

"You still throwing up bricks? What is this, a Masons convention? Clank, clank! I need, like, a welding torch to play in this league! I got an idea: let's just stop right now and gather up all these bricks and let's build a shelter for the homeless so maybe your mother will have a place to live!"

"You are so stupid. It would take your momma one, no, TWO hours to watch '60 minutes'."

Love that movie.

Ah. Never seen it. I was never much of a sports fan.

Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT

There is no real main character. But there is a main theme, an idea of something greater: the force. Everything that we see in the movies happens because of it.

Sad. Truly sad. All of you are wrong.

Re: TOO MANY STAR WARS FANS JUST DON'T GET IT

You're an idiot. You keep posting this crap, yet won't explain it. I think the term F-off is best used in this case.
