Oh f*ck the prophecy, it's a retarded PT element and deserves to be tossed in the dumpster.
The Prophecy of The Chosen One was an important aspect of the backstory, to explain in a concrete way why the Jedi Order decided to train Anakin, despite having premonitions on the matter.
It effectively foreshadowed the destruction of the Jedi and explained the necessity of destroying the Sith in the OT.
An ancient esoteric religious Order being involved with an ancient prophecy? That's retarded!
🙄 Yeah, no. It's not.
It foreshadowed and tied everything together nicely.

Give me the flaws of the Sequel Trilogy any day over absolute and complete retardation of the PT's script and story.
The Sequel Trilogy IS the very essence of mental-retardation.
The PT has flaws - but it's still a story.
The ST is literally written by people who have Down Syndrome - and it shows.
Did you hit your head, Lucien?

Rose tinted glasses never go out of fashion it seems.No toward Lucas though, just his filmmaking abilities. He seems like a genuinely decent guy.
He plagiarized several Authors and playwrights, and has lied to people pathologically.
I don't know if I'd call him decent.
But he's somehow less retarded than the people making the Sequel Trilogy - so there's that.

I really don't give a shit that he lifted from Dune. Odd that you would defend the PT that was written and directed solely by a man who plagiarizes and pathologically lies, though.
Odd that you would find it odd that a mystical esoteric religious Order relies on an ancient prophecy. That's what religious Orders do. 🙄
What a stretch to use that in a backstory, involving the backstory of a religious Order. 😆
There, I saved time on making multiple posts. 😎

that's because you seem to be nuance-impaired. understanding what something is intended to mean, and taking a dislike to it's grammatical/rhetorical ambiguity are 2 different things.
anyway, i know you're going to post something else which will make you feel like you've won a victory, in your mind; so let's have it. this conversation has gotten too silly

More like: if you're arguing with someone you are obviously in disagreement and you both know it, so why would you need agreement on that point.
If you understood the expression well enough, you wouldn't be asking questions about it, etc.
Just saying. 🙂
It's not really ambiguous, it's just an expression.

I won several posts ago.
Also your post appears to originally be a response to Lucien, not me.

You're projecting your own triggeredness, homie. 😎
You're triggered because I proved it wasn't for little kids and your triggeredness is highly transparent in your post.
Time travel shenanigans again? ...I would say I don't think Disney/Abrams is dumb enough to do that, but then I'd be lying. That would be worse than DE Palps, at least with that it seemed logical based on the while Sith trying to cheat death thing.
Time travel is just....I don't see why it was introduced in SW, it doesn't fit honestly(barring the outliers with hyperdrive shenanigans I mean). I mean sure before there was Flow-walking, but that wasn't really time travel in the sense of being able to affect the past or the future.
If they go with this time travel thing and use the world between worlds..../sigh. But I'm ranting now, we don't know what's gonna go down but that would be really disappointing, I already hate that Filoni pulled the time travel thing to save Ahsoka.
