/sw/ - Star Wars

Doesn't even know what I don't like sand even means. In few words it means that, Anakin hated his childhood and when he says "and it gets everywhere" means that he can't let it go and that his past follows him, read the fucking book instead of burning it you nu-fan

>>4874

Yeah, I never understood what was supposed to be so bad about that line. People always say it's bet, but they never explain why. Back when I saw the movie, this is exactly what I got from it; that Anakin is still haunted by his childhood as a slave on a desert planet, and that being around Padmé makes him forget all the terrible things about his past.

I don't know. I mean, maybe it's clunky, but it's not meaningless drivel.

>>4881

As far as the movie by itself is concerned, it seems like a vapid line, although it's spoken soon after Padme's equally vapid "I love the water" which isn't criticized as often.

Why the "sand" line is singled out is probably a combination of Christensen's somewhat wooden delivery, its blandness, and the line's awkwardness in what's supposed to be a romantic exchange. After listening to a story she tells about her childhood, he focuses only on the mention of "sand" and makes a generic comment about why he doesn't like it, with no reference to his own past (something which may have saved the line to some extent).

I think if someone else had been helping lucas that challenged him help him write it. didnt just say yes SIR. They would have been very amazing.

>>4891

They *were* amazing

>>4902

And yet they could have been better.

>>4914

Women… not even once, embrace wizardry

>>4936

Teenagers. Also, prey noises are entertaining.

That's because Anakin is a sort of Awkward cute that women enjoy and love. One moment he's flinging himself into action to defend somebody he loves, and the next he's awkwardly flirting with her because he's not really sure how this goes but he clearly loves her. It even fits with his character too, as he grew up in his younger years with a single mother and some flying yiddish motherfucker that could have invented copper wire if he was cloned and a penny as thrown between him and his clone. He then spent the next ten years being raised by a literal cult that forbid him from seeing his mother and from forming attachments. He has no idea how to flirt or really respond in social situations all that much so he's awkward and stumbles about utterly confident in himself but being insecure on how to flirt.

Women gobble that shit up when it's done right and Anakin pulls it off perfectly without even realizing. Add in the lure of the forbidden as well as his heroics and there's very few women out there who wouldn't fall for Anakin.

>>4929

As could every film

I like that girl's reaction but the "That's racist!" remark is even better.

> How did the girls react when Anakin turned to the Dark Side?

They knew about Anakin's fate.

> Normie girl knows Star Wars exist but hasn't really seen anything.

> Force her to see Episode IV.

> Next time we meet is time for Episode V. When Vader says "I'm your father" girl pauses the film and asks me with a serious face: "Is it true? Is he really his father?" No she wasn't trolling.

> We couldn't see Return of the Jedi right after this because the fan girl arrived in town and organized a marathon.

> We rented Episode 1 & 2 and then went to see Episode 3 in the big screen.

> Fan girl started crying during the Order 66.

> Padme is about to give birth: "She's carrying twins". Normie is all like "What?! Luke has a twin brother?"

> When we left the theater, fan girl has her face completely covered in tears. Normie is asking if we knew Luke and Leia were siblings.

> With the fan girl I see again episodes 4 & 5. They feel totally different now. When Obi-Wan tells Luke to be wary of the dark side we now know what he's talking about.

> We finally made it to episode 6, DVD version. Normie girl doesn't care about the Tattoine segment. We then get to see the Emperor.

> "What? Is that the same actor from the prequels? How is he in a 1983 movie? How?"

> Leia & Luke sitting in a tree. Normie realizes we already knew about they were siblings.

> I envy her: learning about it through the events in ep3 is better. Much later I learned about the Machete order for watching the movies.

> Movie ends and Hayden Christensen is shown at the end as a jedi ghost. Normie's jaw hits the ground.

This. They totally bought the prequels as a romantic tragedy and all Anakin's awkwardness fitted perfectly in his pure clean image.

>5030

This. Just look at the amount of women going after men in prison.

I'd say 5 decent-to-good movies. I'm not prepared to call the prequels "amazing," but they're not bad. More like good ideas with so-so execution.

>only 3 good movies

2 good movies

>>8803

Disney wars made me feel a deep hollowness, like seeing a childhood idol overweight and drunken.

ONE GOOD MOVIE

And all the other shit attached to it.

>only 3 good movies

there is only 2

>>4914

I should have recorded my cousin when Order 66 started he was a huge clone fanboy and couldn't handle it.

>>8844

You know, doubledubsman, autoflagellation is getting kinda out of fashion.

Still, how many of you were the picture of shock when the Order came down the first time watching?

>>4881

>Yeah, I never understood what was supposed to be so bad about that line.

I always assumed it was because his acting was on par with a cardboard box.

>>8858

completly unsurprised since i am paranoid fuck

>>8877

That young, dubsman? That sounds healthy.
