What's New....?

so your issue with the og trilogy is that other people hold it up as an infallible sacred cow compared to the modern films - is that right…? if so, that’s less a critique of the original films, but rather a critique of a critique of the modern films. like a meta-critique!

also: i think the prequels are absolute fucking drek and the acting is appalling even by the low bar of the original trilogy :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:.

overrated is shorthand for “lots of people like a thing i don’t like” though. if we’re not presuming why people think some films are good (and unintentionally placing our opinion of art over others), we definitely want to avoid that turn of phrase.

dear god, i hate ‘overrated’ so damn much. sorry, completely irrational pet peeve :joy:

we’ve been talking about ‘people’ but i don’t know who specifically says all this. it’s a little strawmanny. i’m sure the sw fandom have a wealth of opinions, as evidenced by our own positions.

yeah, and you have every right to think and say that, man. you ain’t wrong in any real sense, and neither is anyone who disagrees.

fair point. :+1:t4:

could you order 66 this part of the thread, mods…?
