Wow, you get really upset about those movies huh?

That’s an interesting take, why don’t you want the excitement or adventure in an adventure movie?

I guess if you liked rise of Skywalker, it makes sense that you don’t like excitement or adventure in your adventure movies.

You’re projecting about this knife thing. You keep making assumptions instead of asking questions and then criticizing your own assumptions.

A few minor flaws? That movie was a train wreck.

Train wreck.

See, you’re making assumptions again about what others and then criticizing yourself instead of asking questions.

I’m not upset by neither Raiders of the Lost Ark nor RoS. They have pretty much the same flaws. But whatever, they’re action adventure movies.

“A wizard did it” rules apply in both of these movies since magic is real in both of these worlds. And when we’re talking about a knife that’s canonically made by someone with magic powers… yeah, a wizard did it.

The same flaws? No way.

Raiders defined the successes of its series and genre, nine highlighted and showcased the failures of its own.

That’s like comparing a glass of wine to moldy kool-aid, or some verdant garden to a deer tick.

Raiders inspires a zest for adventure and life, nine sucked the vitality right out of both.

Both had a magical artifact that told the hero where to go. The functionality and even the reason for the existence of the artifacts in both don’t make a lot of sense. But for some you’re fixated on this minor flaw in RoS while imagining it’s not a flaw at all in Raiders. It’s the same minor flaw, and in neither they aren’t worth worrying about.

It’s mostly that movies like Raiders doesn’t get the same level of scrutiny because nostalgia protects it from the negative internet culture of nitpicking new movies to prove they’re bad. When you play that game the prize you win is that you can’t enjoy new movies.

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It’s not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

==========

Other universes to visit:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!tenforward@lemmy.world

Separatist systems:

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

IMPORTANT

Please do not post the “good friend” or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you’re looking here for rules, you’re probably someone who doesn’t need to have them spelled out. You’re fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that’s meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart… Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it’s a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn’t concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it’s about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
