>Yoda is so strong with the force
>his greatest feat is lifting a small ship
wow maxi big da force
Who ever said that was his greatest feat?
haha rekt prequel fans are so stupid
Obi wan is stronger in the force now.
What is it with tv shows and throwing rocks as displays of magic power? Wheel of time did this shit too
Wasn't Obi-wan cannonically weak with the force, but respected because of his wisdom in it?
Basically we only saw him in the prequels, and he was more than decent with the force.
he certainly wasn't weak in the force, but not as strong as other members of the Jedi Council
he earned his name through his use of the lightsaber
Just imagine the horrors George would create with shit like the volume today.
I hate the force. It was originally a little voice in your head that guided your actions, or could be used as a little bit of magic. Now it's just used as a lasso.
young George was a visionary. Old George is a master of finance.
Did young George say that? The real reason was probably that they couldn't see a way to make it look convincing with a puppet back then. Conceivably he'd be practice dueling with Luke. But to be fair this is explained in Revenge of the Sith, since Yoda loses his light saber in his failure to defeat Sidious.
He did say that in a transcript conversation between Kasdan and himself. It was more like Yoda and Palpatine aren't fighters, they're teachers and sages. I don't have the source with me on hand.
>Yoda trains Luke with totally pointless exercises like lifting heavy things and carrying Yoda on his back while going for jogs in the forest.
This whole part just felt like a silly Karate Kid/Kill Bill ripoff.
>Karate Kid - 1984
>Kill Bill - 2003
>Empire - 1980
>No rebuttal against this
Rekt him anon. Good work. The pussy homosexual couldn't even man up and admit it. Lmao.
The rebuttal was that Karate Kid and Kill Bill came out AFTER Empire, genius.
i cant wait for the series disney barfs out in 50 years.
it will be about an as yet unfilmed day in the life of vader and obi, they meet by accident and start throwing mountains at each other.
coz u gotta go bigger every time, rite hack writers?
When Yoda says "Wars not make one great", he's speaking from experience.
Yoda had a lightsaber in one of the original drafts. George said some bs to Kasdan (like he always did) one time therefore it's set in stone that Yoda a jedi cant use a jedi's weapon.
OT gays haven't enjoyed starwars since 1980, move on already
OT gays are the only gays that matter in SW discussion, frick off with your cyncial cashgrab prequels.
>OT gays haven't enjoyed starwars since 1980
With good reason.
>triggered by a le whacky bullshit novelty candy that is peak 90's
Meanwhile pic related is the extent of OT boomers' expanded universe until Lucas entertainment started signing off on novels and vidya. Get fricked, decrepit old gay.
>OT boomers' expanded universe
Original Marvel comic
Splinter of the Mind's Eye
Han Solo Adventures
Lando Calrissian Adventures
Droids cartoon
>Yoda had a lightsaber in one of the original draft
IIRC Brackett's had them all touch lightsabers like you and your friends behind the local TGI Friday's, but it doesn't change how Yoda was written and depicted in TESB and RotJ. In the case of the Emperor it's even more damning given how he refers to lightsabers. Lucas changed his mind. Of course he did. He's a bullshit-artist that flipped on everything. The OT is still what it is, though, and the prequels will always be immense dreck.
>RedLetterMedia fanfic
Frick off, he never said that.
When did I even allude to RLM?
Rent free.
absolutely obsessed over those reddit fricks
Yoda is the kung fu beggar master trope. He shouldn't use a lightsaber.
Op has it right.
The yoda lightsaber fight was hilarious and completely cheapened the force and jedi.
So yoda should be a trope. You're an idiot
prequel enjoyers enjoy both the OT and PT. OTBoomers really only like ESB, and only for the father reveal.
According to you, Yoda would be able to STOP vader without a saber. So Luke's existence would be pointless. Yoda could just stop vader, then stop palpatine. Vader is not so easily beaten however, despite him being a saber-user. So just put 2 and 2 together. Saber use or lack of use isn't what's important. Also, there is an arrogance to the idea of being 'so strong with the force' you don't need to be in physical shape to fight someone; like a country that's 'so advanced' it doesn't need a military. George got it right
If you like prequelshit you don't like th OT. Or SW
>A Jedi can't use a Jedi weapon
OTgay logic.
It was cool
Not having a lightsaber as a force user in a universe full of lightsabers is just stupid. We've seen lightning and force pushing/pulling can only do so much when faced against an opponent of equal force sensitivity. The one with the lightsaber will always win.
I don't recall George saying any of this. They didn't have sabers in the OT because they never were in a situation where they would need them
Stop inventing solutions to hypothetical scenarios. This is the biggest fricking scorn in online fandoms. They never wielded light sabres, period. There were three star wars movies. The end.
>Kasdan: The Force was available to anyone who could hook into it?
>Lucas: Yes, everybody can do it.
>Kasdan: Not just the Jedi?
>Lucas: It’s just the Jedi who take the time to do it.
>Marquand: They use it as a technique.
>Lucas: Like yoga. If you want to take the time to do it, you can do it; but the ones that really want to do it are the ones who are into that kind of thing. Also like karate. Also another misconception is that Yoda teaches Jedi, but he is like a guru; he doesn’t go out and fight anybody.
>Kasdan: A Jedi Master is a Jedi isn’t he?
>Lucas: Well, he is a teacher, not a real Jedi. Understand that?
>Kasdan: I understand what you’re saying, but I can’t believe it; I am in shock.
>Lucas: It’s true, absolutely true, not that it makes any difference to the story.
>Kasdan: You mean he wouldn’t be any good in a fight?
>Lucas: Not with Darth Vader he wouldn’t.
>Kasdan: I accept it, but I don’t like it.
Marquand: The Emperor doesn’t have Jedi powers, does he?
Lucas: Well, he is like Yoda: Yoda isn’t a Jedi, the Emperor isn’t a Jedi. Yoda has mystical powers and it’s the same thing with the Emperor; he’s like the grand priest, but he’s not chief of the tribe. Jedi are the chiefs, they are the warriors who go out and fight with their swords. The Emperor and Yoda are the priests who are the spiritual chiefs; they have powers that are much stronger.
>"Yoda and the Emperor don't have lightsabers because they're so strong with the Force that they don't need them."
So they weren't that strong yet in the prequels?
sorry, meant for OP
The Emperor having god level power in the sequels at the end, where he's cooking up a whole fleet with his energy, is what I'd expect from a Sith priest. Him swinging a lightsaber around, or his spells being repelled by lightsabers, just shits all over him. He should be so broken that nothing short of a miracle would be able to stop him.
Sheev is supposed to be like Satan or Sauron, his true power is the ability to manipulate and deceive others. All the other shit is superfluous.
Bravo, George.
bump
there is no contradiction here because prequels take place before the OT
jesus is it really that hard to criticize prequels fairly?
The OT was made BEFORE the prequels.
Everything in the latter should line up with the former.
I have read some of the most moronic takes about star wars here so I honestly can't tell if this is bait or not
