I miss this era of star wars
everyone was making fun of that moron lucas for ruining star wars with his moronic prequel trilogy...star wars kinect, tortanic, good stuff
I remember people coping that force awakens was good and disney star wars would be kino going foward, how the frick star wars never actually managed to make cinematic kino ever again after episode VI? was it because star wars was considered an impotant milestone of american culture and the israelite needed to destroy it? this never made sense to me
Oh I don't even give a shit about the ewoks. I thought they were cute. The context is kinda goofy, but that's a broader issue in its own right.
My main problem is Luke's character and Vader's redemption arc, which are arguably the primary focus to the largely recycled subplots that are occurring.
The question of >Would Luke have saved Vader if they were not related, or vice versa?
ruins the movie for me, cause based in the two prior films and dialogue of RotJ, I think the answer is no, which for me ruins both characters and the finale. Two douchebags who don't even know each other randomly decide to save each other because... it was the will of the Force?
Vader always wanted to save Luke all along. He was obsessed with finding him, remember? The prequels give us added context - that he loved his wife and didn’t know he even had a son until Episode IV.
Luke sensed that Vader wouldn’t let him die or kill him and gambled on that last sliver of humanity.
Redemption is a Christian theme; Lucas is Christian. I actually love Star Wars in part for that reason; it isn’t cynical in the way that most anti-fascist Hollywood stuff is where the bad guy is always irredeemable.
Star Wars is both Buddhist and Christian. Methodist is literally a sect of Christianity, you fricking imbecile.
Vader is like the “Thief on the Cross” who repented at the last moment and was saved by Jesus.
Star Wars even has a virgin birth.

Christianity did not come up with the idea of "virgin birth." Mythological heroes being touched by god and born without a father is not something christcucks came up with.

It doesn't if you ignore the prequels.

It doesn’t have virgin birth, that was all just a lie. They confirmed that Anakin’s actual father was Watto
So the theme is it's OK to let people who aren't genetically related to you fricking die horribly? Doesn't really explain why five minutes prior to Vader's redemption he threatens to mindrape his daughter into submission.
The failure of the Kinect is so fascinating. Microsoft forcing it on people almost single handed destroyed the entire Xbox brand and it erased all the good will they spent an entire generation building up with the Xbox 360
This is what I always remind myself of when I see generation war threads on Cinemaphile.
Nintendo and Sony haven't done anything special in nearly two decades, they just haven't fricked up as hard as Microsoft.
New and special are pretty relative. I liked the idea of the kinect, the Wii, the Switch, etc... I like what other people might otherwise call gimmicks. Doesn't mean I'm not open to criticizing them.
So no, I would not call the Switch special. It's less competent than the phone in my pocket and considering how fricking shitty it is docked all for the sake of being mobile is such an asspull.
Again, nice idea. Not exactly the most original or revolutionary for the medium or technology in general, but nice. Executed incredibly poorly, and backed up by incompetent first (and third) party developers.
The Switch is worth $0 in my book, and I own the fricking thing. I'll likely donate it to my nephew next year.
>project the image of your mobile console to your tv with no change in processing power or gameplay or anything actually meaningful beyond a larger image
wow fascinating
360 was so good that despite everyone getting the red ring of death people would still rather buy another one than buy a ps3. I went thru like 5, maybe 6 during the 360 generation (I bought the first one at launch) and I wouldn’t have done it any other way
>had a 20gb OG model >bought another one after red ring >got the halo 3 Xbox edition (didn’t include the game) >bought the black xbox 360 with 120gb >bought another black 360 >bought the Xbox 360 slim, which lasted until the Xbox one
The fact that it did so well despite the first few years of the production run having a 100% failure rate is testament to this.

I would go as far as to say they’re a satanic company, just the way they’ve destroyed everything that was once great.
>acquire Rareware, who have made some of the most beloved classics of all time, and assign them to exclusively make Kinect games for a number of years
Well they fixed this by releasing a non-kinect title years later that's been their most successful of all time.
It is pretty incredible how much they fricked up. Hell, the 360 was a 70 percent failure rate piece of junk hardware wise for a couple years but the damn thing still had so much soul, such a great set up with software, great dashboard, and seamless online, and such a constant stream of games that people were genuinely excited for. Those first few years of 360 were one of the most exciting times ever for gaming imo, and I remember myself and all my friends feeling constantly psyched about it all. Checking out what your friends were doing online, popping out the HDD and bringing it to friends' places, signing in for multiplayer, being amped as frick for everything from Gears of War to Lost Odyssey...... goddamn, good times. And then they got wienery, ruined the whole dashboard set up, rammed Kinect down our throats, forced bad online practices on everyone, a bunch of those exciting new IPs like Gears or Mass Effect shot themselves in the foot, and slowly everyone's excitement drained and by half way through the generation we were all switching to PS3. Amazing how much they fricked it up and what a truly soulless corporation Microsoft is.
All I fricking wanted was for this to play during the credits of Disney Presents: Solo: A Disney's Star Wars Star Wars(tm) Story.
WAS THAT TOO MUCH TO FRICKING ASK?
>Ever since I played KOTOR, I’ve been a massive fan of the franchise. When Kinect Star Wars came out, I had it overnighted from Seattle to Skywalker Ranch, and the next day I brought it to the studio and made sure that everybody — including George — looked closely at the game. I knew Kinect Star Wars was a landmark game for the industry. >Some folks were really interested in the lightsaber play, others were more interested in the graphics. George gets motion sickness, so he wasn’t able to look at the game much. I remember he asked me to play “I’m Han Solo”. When Han danced, he nodded in affirmation and walked off.
hans blowloads
I'm Dong Swole-o
I miss this era of star wars
everyone was making fun of that moron lucas for ruining star wars with his moronic prequel trilogy...star wars kinect, tortanic, good stuff
and then disney came in and all the fun was over.
this
Making fun of the sequels feels like bullying a moronic kid. It's too easy and it doesn't feel good.
A lot of prequelgays are just as touchy these days.
any of them that are touchy are also likely crypto sequelgays
You have to go back
Kinect was one of the last three things from that fun era of Star Wars mockery.
I'M SO HAPPY
THE CARBONITE IS GONE
Unironically the only good Star Wars thing since the prequels.
kino
no, kinect
>when they do the "Han Solo pose"
It always get me
2012, it's like watching the end of civilization.
the world actually ended in 2012
i always like looking at the fatass in the left corner half assing all the moves makes me giggle every time
%3D%3D
Pure kino, literally the only good thing Disney has done with the franchise.
That was made before Disney got their little israelite paws into.
>im so happy the carbonites gone
>im so happy that the pain is gone
>IM MOVIN ON
heh
My only complaint is C3PO not doing the robot in the background.
Soul
>that Lando chad dancing
Holy kino
🙂
>not The secret Vader disco dance in Rogue Squadron
Erm kino
HOLY KINO
I say it's canon
>Palptine will never be balli-
sheeb do be getting down though
>the emperor's new groove
*sigh* somehow, Palpatine got game.
Getting served we are, consult the ancient Jedi texts we must
Damn when I first heard the beat I thought it was Party Rock and got overly excited.
>*sigh* Somehow Palpatine clapped back
It's so good
It's funny how time turns cringe into pure kino.
So when its our turn bro?
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!
>If you can't beat them, join them
keyed jonnie
I remember people coping that force awakens was good and disney star wars would be kino going foward, how the frick star wars never actually managed to make cinematic kino ever again after episode VI? was it because star wars was considered an impotant milestone of american culture and the israelite needed to destroy it? this never made sense to me
>THIS SUMMER
Fortnite zoomers must be losing their minds to this
this shit is fire and you cannot convince me otherwise.
I will not try, because you are correct.
It is. It was ahead of its time.
Daily reminder that Return of the Jedi is an embarrassment that makes no sense.
The prequels are the best thing to happen to ROTJ's reputation. I still like ROTJ overall, though.
I've become more forgiving of ewoks
Oh I don't even give a shit about the ewoks. I thought they were cute. The context is kinda goofy, but that's a broader issue in its own right.

Lucas is a buddhist methodist and Star Wars is buddhist. moron.
Star Wars is both Buddhist and Christian. Methodist is literally a sect of Christianity, you fricking imbecile.

The switch being able to swap between mobile and home console isn't new to you?
>mobile
I meant handheld, portable, whatever

TurboExpress chads were doing that in the '90s

Video games have always been kind of shit. It's just built in.
360 mogs every other console ever that isn’t the ps2
The fact that it did so well despite the first few years of the production run having a 100% failure rate is testament to this.
360 was so good that despite everyone getting the red ring of death people would still rather buy another one than buy a ps3. I went thru like 5, maybe 6 during the 360 generation (I bought the first one at launch) and I wouldn’t have done it any other way
Exactly

>bought the black xbox 360 with 120gb
>bought another black 360
>bought the Xbox 360 slim, which lasted until the Xbox one
My ps3 og with ps2 chip still works I think I saved money not buying Microsoft products. The first big Xbox was the only good one.
Hahaha no

LUKE BE A JEDI TONIGHT!
The custom track for beat saber is one of my favorites

im gonna coom
It was a different time.
yea that's gross

This would actually have been soulful, can't have that in a modern disney movie
>Go to see Barbie
>No Duane cameo
What is legitimately wrong with production studios? How detached are they?
>jannies delete the 'movies with female villians' thread
>keep this one up
Bravo
YWNBAJ
I remember more random jokes from Robot Chicken's Star Wars parodies than I do anything from the sequels.
SOUL
I’m laughing in actual glee at this innocent stupidity
Star Wars was always bad but this was bad with honor
kino
if they did this it could of saved the movie
It's the dumbest and tackiest shit ever, but somehow it actually works here
sound mix is better here. We need actual goof back in star wars instead of marval quips

I actually thought Boba Fett got the best song in that game.
Say what you will about how silly it all is, but “Empire Today” is a fricking fun song.
Jerma kino
pure camp
it's glorious
Reminder that Disney had nothing to do with this, Lucas Films signed off on this.
They signed off on a lot of awful things.
Missed opportunity to use this in the Solo movie.
