I don't get why people always make fun of that line.

We get that Anakin doesn't like Tatooine because of his cruddy childhood. It's just the worst way of getting that point across.

Was he alluding to Tatooine there? That completely flew over my head. I thought he was just making a comment on something random to... set the mood. I don't know. Shows you how much I give a shit about pedantic nonsense like this.

Nope, it's Lucas making bad dialogue >.>

lucas's unreigned control of the prequels is the primary reason that they're so bad

I actually quote most of that line quite a bit. I fucking hate sand.

It wants a friend.
Be its friend.
Then destroy its career, private life, and dreams.

THEN, you have my permission to.........wut

wut?

"Change your attitude and start hating the prequels like everyone else."

"It's wrong to expect a rabid fanbase to freak out over dissent!"

did your parents ever hit you?

But you know damn well what I mean and I'm not talking about Star Wars, I'm talking about your attitude.

No, you're talking about my personality. If you expect someone to be able to change their personality at the flip of a switch, I'm sorry, but you're dumb. And trying to incite an argument. Drop it.

In other news, I just got an astroglide anal lube ad.

I'm not arguing.

No, you're arguing, because I'm saying that you're wrong, but then you maintain that you're right. That's basically what an argument is, and that's basically what you say you don't want to happen, but you're causing it. You're a hypocrite. I'm done with you.

Guys... can we not instigate an argument about how it seems to some people that others are trying to instigate arguments?

As long as challengerX is still here, he's going to be on my ass about literally everything that I say, and it's really fair, because people tend to suffer from confirmation bias. If you didn't already like me, his incessant scrutiny over my posts will prevent them from ever coming to terms with me. He's a child.

Thing is though, you do seem to be fishing for arguments, even going so far as to call your opinions "rare" and feeling the need to mention that you're surprised nobody responded to your opinion.

If that is how you perceive it to be, that's not my fault. That's your fault, for continuing to wear blinders. I get that everything associated with me is negative, but if you honestly think that I, Verbatim, guy who argues primarily about philosophy and meaning and shit like that, is going to waste his time arguing with people about Star Wars, then I'm sorry, you're delusional and heavily biased.

...Because I was. If someone told me, "The prequels suck, your opinions suck" I wouldn't have even replied. If anything, I would've been like, "lolk". That's it.

I'm not biased towards you, nor do I see you in a negative light.

I would say the exact same thing if anyone else was doing it.
