god that felt like it lasted hours
I wish there was one that lasted hours
if you want something that feels like star wars but with a lot of camp acting and racist undertones, Episode 1 is a peach
Is that opening minute the only time the Stormtroopers precisely shoot anything in the OT? Hoth was all ATATs and Ewoks donāt countā¦
Are AT-AT drivers (is this the correct term?) Stormtroopers?
God damn thatās cold man.
Actually, maybe they should count double for Stormtroopers as theyāre a smaller target.
Plenty of exclusion going on.
The OT shows space is wonderfully diverse, unless youāre human.
think the metaphor of OT felt like evil white guys vs good white guys
so the only implicit racism is that thereās mainly just white guys except for lando
Iām happy for you that you can enjoy a tooled up monolithic empire slaughtering an indigenous population defending their home.
In the OT Lando is the only main character who isnāt white, and in Empire he screw the heroes over. Thereās another xwing pilot of colour in Rotj maybe but itās not like the Rebels were depicted as multicultural.
Mind you thereās only 2 women with speaking lines in the OT but sensibly the rebels knew to listen to them both and put them in charge.
I will say this:
In terms of the OT and esp ANH.
I could relate to the rebels inherently as having an empire invading, crushing populations it had no right to and being overseen by old white British lads wasnāt just star wars, it was happening on the streets of my town.
So thereās that aspect I guess.
this is something iād never considered before. thank you dude
3 women with speaking parts. Leia, Mon Mothma and Aunt Beru. But I guess your point still stands
Yknow. I donāt think Iāve ever watched RotJ all the way through.
Iāve seen bits. I know thereās Boba Fett and a Sarlak pit and a gold bikini and some ewoks and stormtroopers driving bikes into trees and Vader throwing the emperor down a hole or somethingā¦ butā¦ errā¦ got no idea what actually happens.
so basically, thereās Boba Fett and a Sarlak pit and a gold bikini and some ewoks and stormtroopers driving bikes into trees and Vader throwing the emperor down a hole and some ewoks dancing
Tried to debate there whole āno trainingā aspect with others on Twitter - jeez, the amount of hate and vitriol suffered in return was laughable/disturbing.
No - youāre a Stormtrooper if wearing the armour. Thatās not to say maybe one week youāre on patrol as a Stormtrooper but then get redeployed as a driver if you have your AT-ST license.
Do you āfeel a disturbance in the @theorist, as if a boardful of sci-fi fans suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silencedā?
Seriously, whatās going on with the 2 x suddenly (seriously)?
