Star Wars will lose it's relevancy in our lifetime

actually thats nothing even remotely related to cgi cartoons

Except that it is closely related, of course.

Maybe with the prequel trilogy.

What do you mean, here?

he means you dont know wtf you are talking about

Yeah where in the OT did they use CGI for stormtroopers?......and i don't mean the updated versions.

He does mean the updated versions. ANH's Special Edition multiplied the number of Stormtroopers than Han ran in to, and added to the "Look sir, droids!" troopers. One of the additions I actually liked.

Then you didn't know what he was talking about.

I figured that's what you meant and it doesn't make senses in context with my post.

So you're focusing on the irrelevant word "cgi". That is not what my comment was about. I was commenting on the bug-dudes, regardless of their CGI-ness, being just like storm troopers because, "nobody really cares whether the locust-men were good or evil. thats what happens when a story lacks compelling villains and replaces them with [indistinguishable, feelingless, bad-guys]."

I edited that quote because you are obviously hung up on "cgi." Now there is no red-herring for you to get hung-up on.

And so there is no way you can get further confused, here is that same quote rewritten for stormtroopers:

"nobody really cares whether the storm troopers were good or evil. thats what happens when a story lacks compelling villains and replaces them with [indistinguishable, feelingless, bad-guys]."

since it was directly comparative to my comment on all-cgi battles, thats exactly what your comment was about.

Since I said it wasn't and made it impossible to force that meaning with a lengthy post, that is exactly what it wasn't about.

Also, your comment wasn't about "all-cgi battles": you made another point (the actual main point) in your post that I quoted and used for my point. 🙂

You try to hard to make things to argue about.

The PT is better than the OT. 😐

im not interested in continuing to entertain your nonsensical diversion trolling.

Odd: I thought that was what you were doing.

I hope that in the afterlife, which you don't believe in, I can understand why you hate the PT so. Maybe then...then....our hearts can understand each other.

Is this a "bites knuckle" moment?

The stormtroopers were supposed to be the massive, conformist face of the empire. They were never treated as the main villains, though, more an aspect of it; or backup for Vader.

I think Lucas tried to recapture that with the battle droids and the clones, it just sort of fell flat.

No idea what that has to do with Star Wars' relevancy, though.

you summed it up in one word. "flat".

eps 1 and 2 defined "flat".

generations down the road, new audiences will take the logical route and start at ep1. then halfway through attack of the clones, coincidentally during anakin's "i hate sand" speech, they will likely conclude that its just all so downright god awful.

hence they will miss out on the OT and star wars dies.

That's why If I ever have kids, they'll be watching the OT first.

Don't forget to show them the Holiday Special. They have learn what not to do.

That's what the PT is for. But sure, Holiday Special too.

I agree: same with the insect men.

I don't think he tried to do that with the droids or clones. He made the clones have more "humanness" and even gave them faces. Probably the insect men are the closest thing to the stormtroopers in the OT.

The OP was worried about the PT ruining Star Wars and thinks that the OT was massively better. I was pointing out how there are similar elements to each trilogy and that he hate is, again, pretty much unfounded.

My kids watched the PT, first. We haven't gotten around to the OT, yet. I look forward to watching it with them.

I don't think the clones were that humanised at all. Sure, we saw their faces, but they were still just cardboard cut-out soldiers that died en-masse during the battle scenes.

Now, the show did a good job of showing more of them. I don't feel like the movies did.
