moron.
that's the typical "we are the bad guys and this is our plan" scene. Throwing in some world building is an artful thing that good writers know how to do.

That's not the same thing as saying that "turmoil has engulfed" the republic. The first sentence of the crawl makes it sound like we're in the middle of a war while the second one sounds like a bottom-of-the-hour story on BBC World Service.
You yokels worship a bunch of homos throwing tea crates into the sea as part of your national mythology, but "taxation of trade routes is in dispute" is beyond your literacy
What exactly happened here, the Senate said “these are the taxes” for your planet and the Trade Federation said “no”? What even is the Trade Federation, is it a bunch of corporations or something that form a lobbyist group? Because it would be one thing if Naboo or local governments said “no” then it’s a dispute between planets and the Galactic Senate but I have no idea wtf the Trade Federation is supposed to be
Went to see it in theater last night. Is the only thing you need to do to start a vote to kick out the leader of the galaxy just call for a vote of no confidence? Seems like a super unstable system. I would do that every fricking day until my system's chancellor was in control
english, good saar
Do they actually mention what the Republic's tax policy was?
>Sunset found Anakin squatting in the sand, it's coarseness getting everywhere.
Naboo wanted to discuss the bonus situation.
So a Jedi master got killed over the price of goods and services? I don’t get it
Movie's first word: "turmoil." Rest of movie depicts republic as doing just fine without any turmoil. Bravo, Lucas.
>WAR!
Dissolution of the senate? Regional governers? Who put this bullshit in a kid's movie!?
Except they didn't put that stuff in the opening crawl.
Seems you forgot the first rule of based filmmaking is breaking the rule. Lucas was over your head.
>the first rule of based filmmaking is breaking the rule.
Correct. Based Rian Johnson is an incredible filmmaker.
60 seconds of world building dialogue vs plot of entire movie
moron.

POLITICAL INTRIGUE
Boring....
Not my problem

Americans were too dumb to actually pay attention to what they were talking about on C-Span and so they got just as bored watching the prequels.
MOVIES FOR CHILDREN

I think "hoping to resolve the matter with a blockade of deadly battleships" is a really funny escalation
I can't tell if this is bait or prequel cope. Jfc. Can't we have any other threads other than about these boring crap movies?
George made the fatal mistake of trying to explain to Americans what actually causes wars.
Space israelites? Bloated bureaucracies that increase taxes instead of fiscal responsibility? Captured democratic leaders?
They were chinks you moron. Altho chinks are basically the israelites of Asia. Plz don't respond ching chongs or pajeets, no one cares.
Frick you.
Star Wars fans can't into subversion top kek. This is why they squealed over Han and Luke dying like mortal men.
Let me clarify. Luke became immortal through the force but he still had to die.
Why do people have an issue with these scenes again?
You yokels worship a bunch of homos throwing tea crates into the sea as part of your national mythology, but "taxation of trade routes is in dispute" is beyond your literacy
I still don’t get the tax policy dispute

A corporate pseudo government and military like the east india company of the british empire.
>We don't see any other planets whatsoever!!! Clearly this shows decline!!
Do you see how moronic you sound (and how moronic the movie is)?
Went to see it in theater last night. Is the only thing you need to do to start a vote to kick out the leader of the galaxy just call for a vote of no confidence? Seems like a super unstable system. I would do that every fricking day until my system's chancellor was in control
most parliamentary systems can do that, yeah.
>most parliamentary systems can do that
Seems like a super unstable system
what's taxes daddy?
and what's in my butt?
Standard English.
