Many Bothans Died To Bring You THE STAR WARS THREAD

[The first Galactic Republic]

Yo dawg I heard you like TIE fighters.

I reckon that's just an assembly line error.

"No, no, no! I said two wings and one cockpit!"

"No, no, no! I said two wings and one cockpit!"

"B-but more guns are in the second cockpit!"

[Anywhere Else But Here]

"No, no, no! I said two wings and one cockpit!"

"Ah, fuck it. Let's just pretend it's an experimental model. If anyone asks, the emperor commissioned four thousand of these things for testing."

[Zanera]

"Ah, fuck it. Let's just pretend it's an experimental model. If anyone asks, the emperor commissioned four thousand of these things for testing."

"Or two hundred, because he knew it was stupid already but he just wanted to see if they had any potential at all for the sake of experimental usefulness."

The village doesn't really matter. The only thing of value in that village escaped their grasp. They didn't achieve their objective (the datastick), thus it was actually a loss. They won the fight, but lost the battle.

They didn't get the intell from Poe, thus it's another failure. Because they captured him for said intell.

They destroyed Maz's temple and actually achieved to get the intell, by capturing Rey. But they couldn't extract it from her. Making the interrogation a failure.

They managed to destroy 5 planets and part of the fleet, but since the Republic should be able to replace it's leaders and fleet relatively quickly. This gains the First Order a short and medium-term advantage, but if they can't bring the Republic to it's knees before they replace the lost fleet, they will lose in the long term.

They might have had the advantage in the air battle, but Starkiller base still got blown up. Another fight they won, but battle they lost.

Fair points. But I'm not convinced that despite all of the above, simply not getting a hold of the plans ruins their credibility as a threat. I suppose it'll really pan out in the next movie.

It simply seems that failure is the only option for the First order.
They kill Solo, but the rest of their actions seem futile.

Seeing something doesn't make you able to do it.
You might find out how to do it, sure, but the skill needed to perform it isn't attached.

The skill is kind of innate in force users, more so in Star Wars protagonists, it's harnessing it that requires learning.

Ok, I believe there is too much harnessing and too little learning.
That sums up my opinion.

Well, I would expected more cynicism from someone raised in a dystopia where you are underpaid in "portions" for your hard-scavenged scrap, but what you say does make sense.

Perhaps. Though I suppose holding onto her dream of her parents returning would require that she maintain a high level of optimism. Maybe this bled over into her other outlooks on life.

Perhaps.

I don't think that there's anything intrinsically wrong with the First Order's performance in TFA. It's a little better than the Empire's in ANH. I do think it was a poor decision to have them lose at the end, though, as it locks them into the same pattern as the OT (lose, win, lose completely in the end), assuming that the First Order is going to be the main opposing force for the whole trilogy.

Planet-sized superduper lazer? Get some fighters!

[The first Galactic Republic]

The list is actually missing one. The TIE Mauler tank from Empire At War considering that the list had other TIE ground vehicles.

[The Grene Knyght]

So I was looking through this thread and I see we haven't ranked the Star Wars movies in awhile. What is everyone's ranking?

I would have to say:

Return of the Jedi
Attack of the Clones
Revenge of the Sith
A New Hope
Rogue One
The Force Awakens
Phantom Menace
2008 CGI Clone Wars
Empire Strikes Back

Best to worst:
A New Hope
Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Rogue One
The Force Awakens
Attack of the Clones
Revenge of the Sith
Phantom Menace

[New haven america]

What's the max number of posts for A&F?
12000?

We need to think of a title.

Threads don't have post limits, they have page limits.

It's the same throughout the entire site: 500 pages.

I still have yet to decide about Rouge One as I've only seen it twice.

[The first Galactic Republic]

Do you think the Empire is careful not to mix Stormtrooper clothes with Royal Guard clothes when doing laundry on the Death Star? If they did all the Stormtroopers would turn pink.

so they can explode planets but not keep the colors from bleeding into each other........typical

[Nirvash Type TheEND]

ESB
RotS
TFA
Rogue One
Return
ANH
Phantom Menace
AotC

Fight me.

[Uinted Communist of Africa]

ESB
RotS
TFA
Rogue One
Return
ANH
Phantom Menace
AotC

Fight me.

that is the strangest order ive ever heard.......I think that's heresy

[Nirvash Type TheEND]

It's not that strange.

ESB is 'generally' agreed to be the best Star Wars movie.
RotS is generally regarded as the best prequel.
Phantom Menace and AotC are generally regarded to be the worst SW movies, with more people erring on the side of AotC being the worst one.

[The Flutterlands]

ESB
RotS
TFA
Rogue One
Return
ANH
Phantom Menace
AotC

Looks like an average list to me....

[The first Galactic Republic]

What is everyone's issues with Attack of the Clones?

Other than Anakin's dialogue if it needs to be said. I'll give you that one.

It's just not as good as the others, I guess. I still like it though.

Probably because Anakin gave terrible dating advice for loners. Supposedly talking about how much you hate sand gets the girl to start loving you. Then, if you start talking about how she's in your soul tormenting you, that supposedly turns her on. Good job, Anakin, good job.
