Darth Vader isn't Anakin Skywalker. He's way cooler and far more badass.

Nice meme, too bad it isn't canon.

Quote
Vader's were more theatrical, dramatic. You got the sense that Vader has an appreciation for the dramatic and has a tendency for theatrics.

You don't say.



It's not a meme, Vader and Anakin are two distinct personalities. I would have expected a huge Star Wars fan like yourself to have caught on to that.




In regards to Vader's tendency towards theatrics; I said it, didn't I?

That's not what the PT, TCW, or the OT say. The only person who said anything remotely like that was Obi-wan, when he was LYING to Luke, and Kylo Ren.

Does RLM just hate prequel movies? They jizzed themselves of A New Hope II The Force Awakens.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
I thought it was good, although some things were a bit dodgy;

Spoiler
Fucked-up-face and Butt-face in Jeddha shortly before it's destruction. They're there for the cameo stuff, sure, but if they survived to the next movie they somehow left in some small window of time that meant they didn't see the fucking moon of a Death Star appearing. Or, they did and just noped the fuck outta there before they got blasted too and decided to tell literally nobody about it in the time in between the destruction of Jeddha and the destruction of the first Death Star, because nobody except the rebels acknowledge it's existence.

In other notes;
Spoiler
I found it funny to see Scarif empire archive installation getting vaporised. Literally:

And then less than 2 minutes later, Vader was calling out to and hesitant about killing Ahsoka. Anakin and Vader are the same.

When Vader finds out Luke is his son, he doesn't say "Anakin Skywalker has a son", he says "I have a son".

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
When Vader finds out Luke is his son, he doesn't say "Anakin Skywalker has a son", he says "I have a son".


It's also the moment when he starts to open back up to the light, when his persona starts to crumble.

Kylo Ren's character is established on the basis of following his grandfather's footsteps. Kylo used the same reasoning for disassociating from "Ben Solo": he was weak, so he killed him.

"I don't fear you."

'Then you will die braver than most.'

That has to be one of the most badass lines I've ever heard.

But its all an act and lie they tell themselves. Their actions show differently. Anakin is Vader as much as Ben is Kylo.

I wouldn't go as far as Napalm to say that they are two separate characters, but I wouldn't treat Vader like Anakin. He doesn't respond the same way, and in terms of personality he's a different person. It may be a front created to distance themselves from the light, but functionally it works just as well as killing their old lives as long as they stay entrenched.

And I don't think anybody would argue that the line was out of character, solely the delivery. I don't know why this is being discussed so heavily.

Yes, because my individual perception that the line could serve to be tweaked in its delivery makes me autistic.

At least the prequels HAD characters

I think I'd rather sit through Anakin moaning about sand than Jyn scowling at somebody

I'm not a stars wars fan so I found it to be acceptable entertainment

Rocking the Photoshop edit I made you huh? I didn't know you still had it.

OT: Read the plot of it, felt eh about it.

I'd rather watch the unaltered trilogy.

I don't see how reading the plot of a movie can give you an educated opinion on a film's quality.

I saw it for a second time the other day, and enjoyed it much, much more.

This time I wasn't trying to take everything in, and was able to keep up much better. Plus, the people sitting next to me weren't absolute cretins so I wasn't pissed off the entire time.

I would give it a 7.5 now.

Especially in this case, since a plot synopsis would imply that this movie actually has a cogent story to tell.

Are you saying you AREN'T feeling the full goosebump-y effect of the rohan charge scene from reading that?
