Can't recall the last time we had domestic terrorism coming from the left in this country. This is pretty unusual.
A couple months ago in the Dallas shooting?

I don't think you can call that terrorism. There weren't any political motivations behind the attack, the dude just wanted to kill police.
Well it seems like it was a reaction to the earlier shooting of Alton Sterling by police.

I won’t worry about my village being bombed because my mom’s second cousin was maybe photographed near someone who said something critical about the United States.

I hate it when that happens

which Hillary is. She's Republican tier in hawkishness. If anything, I'd like her to show strength to Russia. Obama dun do it. Trump wouldn't do it.
Careful what you wish for. I can see her foreign policy being anything but terrible.

Still think Trump won the debate?

His own running mate is starting to distance himself.
What does this have to do with the debate?

When the day after members of your own party either denounce or call for your resignation... you lost the debate
Except the article you posted was from the day before the debate, not the day after.

Not to mention, I DID say I was pressed for time and wasn't willing to write an entire thesis explaining to you people why I don't like a shitty movie. Why should I obliged to do that? SW fans are so entitled and childlike.
I mean you were the one that quoted me first trying to argue but okay it's your world I guess.

It still doesn't make any sense and was a cheap way to pull some drama in.
Explain how then. Coming up with something at the last moment (assuming this is true) doesn't automatically make it bad.

Movies should stand on their own.
That's stupid.

Then you seriously need to start watching some more movies, and not just what's popular. I can think of HUNDREDS of movies that have morally ambiguous characters and themes. It's not that hard to look if you've actually seen some movies in your life.
Why don't you name some then.

You're probably just going to start naming movies that have some grey characters, which isn't what I was saying.

Yes... I have.
Even if your complaints were valid, thinking a plot twist was cheap seems like small potatoes compared to having several plot holes, one dimensional characters, a messy and convoluted story, or a complete lack of originality like some of the later installments have.

I'm pressed for time right now because I have a project to finish and other things, so I'll have to come back to this later if I still care to talk about it. In short, it's boring as fuck. It does nothing to make me care about anything that's going on. The Hoth battle is one of the most excruciatingly monotonous sequences I've ever seen in a movie, and it's fucking endless. The twist, while revolutionary at the time, simply isn't anymore. It comes across like a diabolus ex machina--I think I watched a documentary that revealed Lucas basically pulled that out of his ass. And it's very apparent, because it doesn't make any logical sense--it's just there for drama--which may have worked in the 80s, but is cheesy as hell today.

It also suffers in part from being too much of a predicate to ANH. In other words, it doesn't stand on its own very well.

Being a Star Wars movie certainly doesn't help, either. It's a dumb fairytale with black-and-white morality--just an inherently bad concept from the word go. The bad guys are bad because they're bad, and that's it. No effort by the original films are made to let the audience understand how anyone could possibly be """seduced""" by the power of the Dark Side. Blowing up planets because "lol we're so evil gaiz, we gon conquer da unaverse!!" Hmm. Yeah. Riveting.

So really, the whole OT is a pile of shit. I just hate Empire the most, because it contained so little entertainment value. At least Return has the best duel in the series--that I can say for sure.

Oh, but you know what DID explore reasons for why one would join the Dark Side? The prequels.
It seems like you're really reaching to hate on this movie.

"The twist" was one of the most important influences on the plot of ROTJ and the entire series. Its not like it was just random and didn't go anywhere so I have no idea what the problem with it is.

I've never understood how a movie "not standing on its own" is supposed to be a valid complaint in any serialized sequel. Is the Two Towers also bad because you need to watch Fellowship to understand it?

The fact that it's too black and white, good and bad can not only be applied to all the other SW movies but pretty much every movie ever. I can't even think of 10 movies off the top of my head where the protagonists and antagonists are all morally ambiguous grey characters.

 The idea of being seduced by the dark side was done poorly but that's a flaw with Return not Empire. Return was the one where they should have elaborated more on Anakins fall to the dark side and have some sort of explanation for why Luke would ever want to become the emperors apprentice but that was never done. I'm not sure why you blame this on Empire though.

I haven't heard you say anything about flaws with writing, characters, or story structure (things that actually make a movie good or bad) like the other Star Wars movies have numerous of. If these are the things that can ruin a movie for you, I'm surprised you like anything.

>people still unironically consider Empire to be the best star wars movie

ANH is the only one you can even make an argument that it is better. None of the others even come close.

There's literally nothing wrong with calling out someone making staged "social experiment" videos, especially ones fanning the flames to racial issues, and there's literally nothing wrong with calling out commentors for being mad about it.
