    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I honestly hope this movie is the greatest thing ever. I have nothing to gain by "choosing" to have a differing view from you or anyone else on this board. My prediction: I will like it. Probably more so than some Episodes, and probably less so than other Episodes. But based on my...

    vitriol - cruel and bitter criticism I believe you are describing yourself and others that attack me over this issue. L2vocab I have been, and remain the positive voice here.

    Yes, the fact that I like something you do not makes me a contrarian. Brilliant observation.

    Again, reading comprehension here is not a strong point for you guys, which is odd considering the nature of the this board. I never said I wasn't emotionally affected by ANY Star Wars film. Nor have I "trashed" any of them. Next...

    He might have changed his opinion. I haven't. That's the point to all this. I don't NEED to watch anything to influence my opinion, or to "educate" me. You come across like my bible-thumping mother, sending me videos, hoping that I'll "see the light" and be "saved." I've watched the Red...

    If you want to take that road, go for it. There's more emotion portrayed on screen in the prequels than the OT. https://youtu.be/BHJ0FyOug4g?t=6m58s

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I never said that Empire didn't connect with me. I said it has the least emotional connection out of the Star Wars movies with me. And you realize that there are opinions that exist outside this board, right? Just because there's a vocal majority on these boards that think a certain way, does...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Before things become uncivil, I do have a question about the new trilogy. I-VI was called the Rise, Fall, and Redemption of Anakin Skywalker. Is there any chance these new movies continue some sort of narrative that will extend that? What could you possibly do after redemption?

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    And see, from my perspective, Empire is the least enjoyable. It gets the smallest amount of emotional reaction from me. I, III, VI create the most emotion. But I'm not going around bashing people for loving ESB the best. I love them all.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I've always thought the prequels were amazing, but that just gets pejorative remarks around these parts. I find it interesting that people can't just let someone be happy. They have to try to convince you that your opinion is wrong, and that theirs is the correct one. Insecurity is a bitch.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I love Danny Elfman, but man, that would be a bit odd. He's good with quirky movies. Although, his Batman soundtrack showed he could do something like Star Wars. I imagine whomever replaces Williams will just copy his style, which honestly, would be a simple task for any decent composer...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I actually discussed this today. I was down at the Walt Disney Concert Hall this afternoon, and a trumpet player friend of mine that has played with John Williams was talking about how this was probably his last film that he's scoring. He's just getting to be too old. I agree that Hans Zimmer...

    I agree with your overall premise, but to keep you honest, Qui-Gon looked pretty exhausted here. In fairness, he had just gotten done running across the desert.

    And he got beat down by a mediocre Luke that had only been training for a few years by that point.

    Who would win?

    Seriously guys, this is getting sad. As much as you all fanboy over Star Wars, you have selective memory about what actually occurred. He was already Vader at that point. He had wiped out the Jedi temple, and the Trade Federation leaders, and choked his wife by this point. Oh, and let's not...

    It was in the movies, therefore it's real. Your personal feelings about midichlorians does not matter. You are in denial.
  27. The Edge

    Who would win?

    No, here in the adult world we recognize the difference between what's canon (what Lucas wrote), and what's made up fan fiction (everything else). And if you honestly think Vader in the suit is nearly as powerful as he was without, there's no helping you.
  28. The Edge

    Who would win?

    You're arguing that post-thrashing Vader is just as powerful as he was beforehand with all his limbs intact? GTFO And in which movie did he rip a starship out of orbit? That's what I thought.
  29. The Edge

    Who would win?

    Pre-suit Vader wins Post-suit Vader loses Vader in the suit is not as powerful, is bulky and doesn't have the agility or reflexes he used to.

    No, it definitely should not. Light side teaching is essentially Buddhist philosophy. Anakin's downfall, which he was warned about throughout the prequels, always had to do with attachment. Non-attachment is a major doctrine of Buddhist belief, so this made perfect sense. He was attached to...

    As someone who has not only studied music history but has taught it at the university of level, I'm fairly confident in my statement. Historians like to break things down into eras and associate major composers to that time: Baroque - Bach Classical - Mozart Romantic - Beethoven Early...

    Just let it in... Btw, A+ on the soundtrack for that trailer. Comes as no surprise since John Williams is the greatest composer of our lifetime. Academics like to mock him or make light of his music, but once he's gone, he'll be looked back upon like a Mozart.

    Spectre (2015)

    Different sounding? Coming from someone with 2 degrees in music, that thing was recognizable as a Bond song within the first 3 seconds. Not as good as Skyfall, but it's still an excellent Bond song.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    As someone who has largely agreed with the choices made by Lucas, this is one of the few things I disagree with. That scene is just so out of place, it's cringe-worthy. I understand why he did it, and what he was going for, and it still could have been done, but the execution was wrong.
