If you had to pick, which continuity would you choose?

Honestly my primary interaction with Star Wars now is probably debating, so Legends might be more important to me. But I like the new trilogy.

Nope, just laughing at all the people dumb enough to enjoy the new canon while continuously denying it's a rehash of the OT.

Ah yes, anything on this forum resembling criticism equates to crying. 👆

Seeing as how these movies' entertainment value is subjective, and said entertainment seems to be the primary benefit you attain from them, it's actually a more optimal outcome to be entertained by the new films than not to be; from a utilitarian standpoint you get more happiness and pleasure and don't actually lose anything beyond some fantastical Kantian obligation to follow mswarehouse's criteria or something.

But complaining about those damn kids more fits Beefy's intellectual level. 🙂

EDIT: on second thought, I guess you could say that films can also shape your worldview and create a more meaningful universe and that the new films might not do that if you accept the premise that they're less original. Eh, I guess.

There's no premise to accept. The fact that tfa is unoriginal at best, a pathetic rehash at worse is just that, a fact.

So? Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network was much smarter than Kane in Citizen Kane; where's the line?

Wait a minute, you legit don't think Rey is a Mary Sue? Cause you are retarded then.

She's totally a Mary sue.

She's good at lots of things. You know those people exist in real life right? I mean, Abraham Lincoln was a Mary Sue by those standards, and he's the second most written about person in all of history.

As long as Rey is challenged in the story, and has an interesting character arc, that's fine. The latter is debatable and we'd probably have to wait for a while, but the former is clearly the case - she gets captured, has to run away from forces too big for her to handle, is clearly losing to Kylo for most of their duel, etc.

I excelled at all of my academic studies. I'm obviously a Mary Sue. 🙂

No, you are obviously

That would explain your genetic deficiencies. mmm

Excelling at academics means precisely dick. But rey is a mary sue.

Legends. It has a lot of shit. And I do mean a lot. But it also has higher points than canon: YDR, ROTS novel, Shatterpoint, Cloak of Deception, TUF, Traitor, etc. KOTOR, Republic Commando, Jedi Outcast & Academy. The Republic comic series, etc.

This is opinion based so please don't ever act as if your opinion is a fact. It isn't. Yw.

You must be that one person who thought tfa was good, hence the butthurt.

Nitpick: the RotS novelization is still canon.
