>Anakin was born of a virgin! Get it like the heckin bible! No, I don't have anything interesting to say, it's just like this other historical thing. Pretty deep right?
>The republic turns into...le empire. Y'know like mofugghin' Rome!
>”You're either with me or against me!” Y'know just like Bush said! Oh, I don't actually have any intelligent analysis to give, but hey look Star Wars thing is like real life thing!
>Ok so Anakin is given this moral dilemma to choose the devil or resist him. How will we convey this? Through subtle musical motifs or clever storytelling devices? Nah. We'll just let the monster face devil explicitly tell Anakin to choose. So complex and deep man!

Yes, he's a massive hack. Smart people know this since Return of the Jedi. Midwits realized when he shitted out Howard the Duck.
Ah, The Great Dichotomy.
It's a word anyone can use. Important is I am right and OP is a midwit. OP is some illiterate, arrogant little manchild with an 110 IQ probably, while Lucas is a well-read Campbell student.
While you are a genius enlightened funko pop collector who has no argument whatsoever and is seething.
Kek. You going for low hanging fruit like funko shit proves my point. Begone, midwit.
>Heh, [whatever random shit from your post] just proves my point!
we just can't stop winning redditbros
Thank you ma’am for answering a question no one asked, opposing a statement no one made, countering a belief that no one holds, and punching back at a person that doesn't exist.
Thank you redditor for disparaging this chudcel. Updooted.
>disparaging
Holy Reddit stop using big words to sound smart homosexual
>Howard the Duck isnt good
Imagine being this much of a midwit.
Sheev totes made/conjured Anakin.
I think that was the intent, but George played it too coy with Palp's ultimate level of manipulation of events.
100% some autist will discover in some minor side comment in the script where the life-force that was stolen to create Anakin came from (same way Padme was drained to "create" Vader).
Maybe it could be Sheev's master/Plageus but the timing doesn't feel right on that. Sheev feels like he's been around for a long long time, if he isn't Plageus himself (or a vessel of his lifeforce). Maybe when he takes a new body he's able to sacrifice and redirect the lifeforce of the old body into something new.
That whole speech is the keystone to everything going on. It's just shot and staged so weird that it became a meme before anybody really broke it down to it's base components. What he's saying, in detail, vs all the sperm/egg imagery.
Yeah but who cares if he conjured Anakin? Isn’t it fricking stupid as shit if he did? Why can’t there just be an important kid who’s troubled and eventually joins in some evil? What does it add to the story that Anakin is literally the result of some fricking sex spell cast by an evil space warlock
>What does it add to the story
The same thing every "grand revelation" after "I am your father" adds - Jackshit.
Its in the Vadar comic, good story.
>Every Skywalker is a Palpatine
So, what's the big deal then?
Sheev's mistake was assuming Hego didn't have anything more to teach him, that he had failed in his efforts in dark force manipulations locked away in his study. That comes back to haunt him once he & Vader are attempting to brute force suitable force sensitive clones for essence transfer. He assumed that the brute force of their financial and political machinations would suffice to bring events around to their satisfaction. Plagueis even had some doubts about his Master, even after he had failed to parasitize him with essence transfer ... there's as good a candidate as any for "darth jar jar" modality
There's no way Shimi was a virgin. She was a slave and decent looking. She'd have been raped constantly
Too bad Lucas didn't actually show any hardships of slavery or any suffering or bring up this plotline in any way whatsoever in the following films. It just happened, it was moronic, and it was completely forgotten. And according to him Anakin's "slave" life was supposed him being happy and careless child having a happy life. What gives? People keep b***hing about "slavery," did we even watch the same movie?
Shmi being a virgin does a lot for Star Wars being this neurotic, sexless universe. I mean the way she is only quintessentially ‘mother’ and she doesn’t have a life or friends and her job as a slave is I guess to raise her kid? And she’s never had sex? It’s stuff like this that makes Star Wars seem not just virginal but actually afraid of sex
pretty sure that anakin was the only one who was born this way, how do you think luke and leia were born? i think they also had some allusions to jar jar binks having sex in tcw but i'm not sure
Right, sex exists in the uninverse but the movies are still sexless. Even when Natalie Portman is in her ‘frick me’ dress, the whole premise is abstinence. They don’t have to frick on screen or anything, but beyond a few sparse kisses the series basically doesn’t even include the idea of sex or sexual attraction
>the series basically doesn’t even include the idea of sex or sexual attraction
>the representation of sex in Star Wars is a giant disgusting rape slug
but what does it MEAN
Was Jabba a 'Literally me'?
Bro it's a kids movie
This is also the Snyder way of being intelligent. Snyder referencing Jesus in Man of Steel and Lucas referencing Bush in Star Wars is exactly the same as the Avengers making a quip about Back to the Future. It's still a hollow reference even of your referencing real things.
>The story of Jesus is derivative of Mithras, I sneer at everything, even the word of God.
The clue is that Darth Plaguis taught Sheev to use the force the even create life...and the big twist is he is Anakin's father.
Who cares
You did enough to comment.
Lucas will go down as one of the greatest creative minds of the century. Stoklasa will be forgotten in 5 years if not sooner.
George won. Mike lost

Keep in mind, all of this is PRE-PLINKETT.
>When Palpatine gets before the Senate, he announces that the Republic will be reorganized as the First Galactic Empire. Everyone in the Senate then applauds wildly, as if Palpatine had just opened for Van Halen. Padme, sulking in her Senate seat, says, "So, this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause." We are then left to reel at that biting political commentary. And by "reel," I of course mean, "cringe"
He said the thing
Everything in Plinkett's review could be true, and George would still be a cutting edge film technology advancer.
>cutting edge film technology advancer
How do you reconcile your Lucas adoration with the last 20 years of CGIslop that he invariably ushered in?
You're assuming they watch/care for anything besides the prequels.
>"I'm gay" OP.
>I'm gay, OP.
That's very brave of you, son.

>uses the "To be fair . . ." copypasta
Please tell me you are not serious.
The first movie was okay. Very good for its time but now, is kinda shit. Empire is still a great movie and probably one of the movies of all time. Every single movie after that is complete dogshit. The prequels can be fun at times, but dogshit nonetheless.
Thank you for reading my very original take on the Wars Trek films.
Thank you.
