Yet lazer swords and space battles are totally not over the top.

This doesn't alleviate my concerns that this series will go the way of Marvel.

There can never be too much Marvel.

Yes of course. It's all sci-fi. But there's a big difference. You can have grounded, realist duels with emotion and you can have silly stunt show duels on top of lava. And that was the main reason the prequels weren't as good.

I'm in total agreement with EP3. The finale was like a video game level. It was long, over the top and actually boring. Not to mention the incredible dialog

"from my point of view the Jedi are evil" woo.

But it's worth it to get the end. When Obi-wan defeats Anakin, it's a great scene.

It comes down to suspension of disbelief, and at what point have you taken things too far. The prequels pulverize suspension of disbelief so often that it almost does a complete 360, and becomes believable again. Almost.

Episode 3 is the least worst, and that's not really an accolade of any sort. It's the mediocre finale to a shit trilogy.

Manco's a mediocre finale

I loved the new Star Wars. Except Harrison Ford's acting, he was pretty ballbags.

I loved that R2D2 decided to kill himself instead of spend any time in C3POs company.

I also think that working for the Dark Side R&D department must be the easiest job ever.

All in all:

Cheese/10.

Really? I thought Harrison Ford did a pretty good job considering he hasn't played the character in a long frigging time.

I definitely wasn't expecting him to be one of the main leading characters at all, but I thought he was great.

You just broke Crashpunk's heart, Hobo. Your cruelty knows no bounds.

"Go into coma" would be more appropriate there.

I died from a broken heart

Always classy, even in death.

We should make a "CP has died" thread.

SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE

No need for beating the dead CrashPunk

Hobo's punishment for such a reprehensible act should be to watch at least 10 minutes of one of Crashpunk's Let's Plays.

Crashpunk 01-17-2016 11:42 AM

Ouch.

OANST 01-18-2016 07:47 AM

What a dick.
