This comment alone has made that reddit campaign worth it haha. Yeah, I do feel like the new stuff has very deliberately distanced itself from the prequels. I see why they're doing it, but I hope they find a cool way to incorporate some elements from it in the future. Personally still crossing my fingers for an Obi-Wan movie, since he's my fav character.

Well said

Thanks for checkin me out, good sir

It’s like poetry, it rhymes

there was something i heard on a podcast years ago- and to my shame i can't remember who it was or what podcast though i'm pretty sure it was tabletop gaming related- where this guy asked a simple question about revenge of the sith that pretty much ended my need for theories that try to explain star wars- what engineering problem is flying robots with buckets of lava the answer to?

@@youareivan it’s a “nerdy” pursuit… it’s “mental masturbation…” it’s a fun thing to think about. Cinema buffs are going to overanalyze ever frame of a film. “Nerdy” folks who already like prefer sci-fi above all other genres are REALLY going to overanalyze classics like Star Wars. In doing so, they’re gonna connect a lot of dots that aren’t there. They’re going to read waaayyy too much into “hidden meanings” that the filmmakers never intended. I bet you’ve seen “Wisecrack?” Do you think literally every single Rick and Morty episode is a philosophy lesson? Of course not! But it’s an entertaining way to learn about philosophy. There isn’t much substance to these analyses. I hope most don’t take them too seriously. They’re fun for fans of (whatever movie) to think about!

I think he looks 50. I mean he looks better than after all those burns.

@@radka2065 Yeah skinny dipping in lava does not do one's complexion any favors. Also Luke must've grown up fast if it was less than a decade from Revenge of the Sith to Return.
