I agree with you to an extent. It seems cool to bad mouth the prequels. However, some things were outright stupid. I was cool with Jar Jar and Anakin being the one who built C3PO, and other head scratchers cuz i love the prequels. But, Dooku was still a stupid move. How much more climatic would've it been if Anakin sliced off Mauls head? Dooku didnt even look Sith or bad enough. Dude looked like a elementary school librarian. I know his was was to be incognito, but if they had Palpatine already playing that card too, so it was dumb.

Jar jar did not help build c-3po. He was already built before he got there. I had no problem with prequels except most of attack of the clones

Im cool with Jar Jar binks as a character, and I'm cool with Anakin building c3po.

Missed a comma

I bought one to check him out. I think the Disney Elite Series are really nice figures and I like that they are die cast. I really wanted to mix some of them in with my Black Series collection but I decided against it after opening one First Order Stormtrooper.

My issues:
-Height/size: Why didn't they just scale these figures to 6 inches? The small height/scale difference was a deal breaker for me. My Stormtrooper shouldn't look bigger next to my Kylo Ren (Black Series).
-Pose-ability: The articulation is not as good as the Black Series. Figures don't stand up on their own very well (although it is nice they come with a stand). Especially on the Stormtroopers, the chest plate does not rotate at all. The entire body swivels. Really limits the cool poses you can do with the Stormtrooper's.
-Screws in back of figures: Not visually appealing. I gave this as my reason for returning the two First Order Stormtrooper's and Darth Maul.

With that said, these seem to be doing very well. When I made my return in the Disney Store two weeks ago they only had 3 Rey's. The employee that handled my return was hyped to see a Darth Maul and said that the Elite Series figures have been selling out as soon as they get them in.

The only reason I'm trying the Grievous is because he's like 7 feet tall in the movies any way so he may look to scale next to my Black Series. Also I think the die cast translates well with his character since he is a cyborg. And finally, his cape will hide the screws in the back. Still slightly worried about pose-ability but he looks dope.

Side note: Start checking your Target for these...

Maul getting killed off didn't bother me. It's funny because he did more in the little screen time he had, than Boba Fett did in all his appearances combined. Boba didn't do **** yet people love him just for looking cool.



Another example of people just finding reasons to complain about the prequels because they were brainwashed to think it's cool to hate those movies.

the difference is that maul was the main villain and by far the coolest villain in the prequels. so it's fair to say they wasted him


Boba was never anything more than a minor side character, but people love him because of how great the OG movies were. 



Boba is like a role player that becomes a fan favorite while Maul is d rose getting hurt and missing the rest of the season after the second month of the season

Maul wasn't the main villian in Ep. 1, that title goes to Sidious. I mean, depending on how literal you take the title, he IS the Phantom Menace.

sidious was also the "main villain" in the OG movies

except vader was the face of evil and he was what got in the way of the protagonist 

You can't compare Vader with Maul. Although Sidious IS the main Villain of the OT it's the Skywalker story. It's HIS family's story. He IS the chosen one. You can't even begin to compare the significance of Vader with Maul.

We aren't rehashing anything, it's fine you like the prequels, I'm only pointing out the 3 items you specifically bring up, and 2 of them happened at the end of the final film, as opposed to everything spread out over the course of 3 full films.

At minimum, you should be able to acknowledge that, doesn't mean you don't like them as is or anything.

The fall of the Jedi, and Anakin's turn should have covered more than a 20-30 minute montage of hundreds of Jedi being eliminated in one fell swoop. I don't see why anyone would be upset about that.

Those two points do happen slowly. You're taking the event of Order 66, and literally pointing to that as the fall of the Jedi. You can't be that literal man. The fall of the Jedi starts in the beginning failing to recognize they were being played like a fiddle by Sidious. Not only were they ignorant to the machinations of the Dark Side, they were arrogant as hell in the process. Dooku himself tells Obi STRAIGHT UP in Episode II they were being controlled by a Sith Lord and he literally brushes it off. Not only that, they literally went from being the peace keepers of the galaxy, to generals in a galactic war, abandoning everything they Jedi stood for. This proccess slowly unravels throughout the three movies. Order 66 wasn't the fall of the Jedi, that was the point of no return for them. Their fall isn't one event, it's a slow process that Sidious plays out in the three films. Sidious plays it so well, he even gets the Galactiv Senate to turn on the Jedi as well.

As far as Anakin, his turn to the dark side starts in Episode II. The constant anger, rage, fear, and obsession he shows throughout that movie foreshadows what's to come. He slaughters Sand People, including the woman and kids in Ep. II. How is that not the beginning of his turn to the dark side. Again, you take the event with Sidious/Mace/ and Anakin as the moment he turns to the dark side but yet again it's more complicated than that. Sidious feeds on his fear, plays him like he did the Jedi, and slowly but surely lures him in. The moment you point out, is again, the point of no return.

But like I said, we've had this debate, and we'll never agree.

Ehhhhhhhhhh it's not a terrible stretch, but it's a bit of one. I hear ya on the slow play, but that doesn't make it the right play.

He did have his momentary lapse in II, but he's still a Jedi hero thru Sith til the final scenes. Hell, he turned Sidious in to the Jedi. If Mace wasn't so stupid, they defeat him and Anakin never comes close to turning.
He literally showed up with 3 worthless Jedi killed in 4 seconds.

You have a Sith Lord, runnin your whole government, you get the info, Mace shoulda brought the whole Temple with him.

Thing is, we knew the end game. We had known for 20 years that Anakin falls, why slow play it? Why have one scene thru two films? Why still be a beloved Jedi hero for an hour and a half thru the third? He tells Ben he loves him, he's sorry, etc, and 14 minutes later he "hates" him and tries to kill him.

We knew the ending, so slow playin it was the wrong move. Nothin we could do now, but i wish GL went with late teen Anakin with anger in I, mid 20's Jedi starting to turn in II, and then full on Vader destroying the Jedi order in III.

That was the story we deserved to see George tell. Had he been younger, maybe he would have. I get the whole kid thing, and merchandise, and all that, just wish he gave us the story truer to what Ben said in IV.

I think he had to cut Vader destroying the Jedi because that in itself would be at least one whole movie. You are right about mace showing up with two worthless Jedi, dumb *** move.

Also, early concepts for Anakin in TPM were him as a teen, he decided to go real young though.

QGJ > Yoda.

Yoda was too spiritual with the Force, QGJ kept it real. Could have changed everything if the council listened.

You're buggin', Yoda would have demolished Maul. While I liked QGJ, his character was poorly written.

all this Maul talk is making me upset with how he was handled. so much potential wasted

As a huge fan of The Force Unleashed games, it sucks his solo game was cancelled too I hope these guys are able to revive it.

They're actually trying to get it into a good enough state for next gen and re-pitch it to Disney/EA

Fingers crossed for them. With my disappointment of what happened to 1313, this would be great news for me.

 

[robinvandamn]

new theory going around that Luke is actually the one searching for Daisy throughout the film and is always a step behind.

it's based pretty much solely on that pic and how it relates to similar looking scenes in the trailer

the Mystery Box is killing folks

 

[Fozz]

^Interesting.

I just hope that everyone has a plenty of screen time.

 

[sw33nskill]

In my opinion, that scene with Luke's hand on R2 is him kneeling next to the pyre of someone that has died, just like he did with Vader. He is sad and is consoling R2.

 

[rfx45]

 

[jaypesoz]

^Sheev sounds like he has a cold narrating that

^Interesting.

I just hope that everyone has a plenty of screen time.

I know I've mentioned in other forums but never on here. But I hope people don't get a bad taste in their mouths because they expected this to be another Luke movie. I could see it happening and I hope that's not the case.

 

[Fozz]

^I agree. I'm simply excited in seeing the OG characters get some shine on the screen, for nostalgic reasons. But knowing the film will focus on the new three characters, it's all good with me.

(But I hope they show Wicket, atleast)

 

[octobersveryown]

Beta almost made me cancel my preorder. This makes me want to keep it.

 

[GL Rayner]

What was wrong with the Beta? I only played it for like a day or two, but didn't see much to complain about.

 

[9th Wonder]

Did I read that you have to pay a monthly subscription to play battlefront online? Or am I losing it lol..

 

[Fozz]

Did I read that you have to pay a monthly subscription to play battlefront online? Or am I losing it lol..

I believe its a $50 subscription to the DLC content that will be released.

 

[noblekane]

What???? Thats bull so we paying 110 for multiplayer game? Dirty

 

[9th Wonder]

I believe its a $50 subscription to the DLC content that will be released.

So you can buy the game, play online, and just avoid buying the DLC if you want like every other FPS?

That seems a lot more reasonable. Thanks boss!

the problem with that is companies selling an imcomplete game and forcing fans to pay double for the complete game

in this case battlefront has no story mode so your paying double for half a game anyways

 

[hennessy]

Glad I waited for this bundle to buy a PS4.
