Elegant solution to prequels and sequels


Rey and Ren don’t exist.
Qui-Gon Jinn doesn’t exist, he never has. The prequels don’t exist. They are a passing figment of your imagination like clouds scudding past the sun.
The sequels also don’t exist.
if this is confusing for you then you need to investigate Orwellian Doublethink.
it will teach you to eradicate your own memories.
once you master this skill you can rid your mind of the following:

1. the travesty of Jar Jar binks and an appalling film.
2. The creation of Jango Fett and the subsequent destruction of Boba Fett’s character. This perpetrated by Lucas who cashed in on Fett’s cult status with fans.
3. You don’t have to watch Vader’s mystique ruined by three terrible films. And you don’t have to watch Vader as a stupid petulant child.
4. you don’t have to acknowledge the existence of any of the unspeakable sequels.
5. There are three SW movies - the original 3. Not 9.

Now I realise this may be hard for you. But with determination you could achieve this nirvana

Wise words.

You speak of a golden age, a glorious time.

Before the Fett voice dub, before the extra song at Jabba’s palace.

This is all well and good.
Now, how do I get rid of those darned Ewoks???
Is there some sort of delete button?

reply

Sadly I’m stumped for Ewoks.

Threads like yours don't exactly help me to forget.😑

Way ahead of you.

I like the Star Wars sequels and prequels and I like Rey and Jar Jar Binks.

But I bet your no older than 27

reply

Incorrect. I am older than 27.

Usually prequel fans are from younger generations.

But apparently not always.

reply

Um....quit making them. That's an elegant solution.

You go right ahead, see if you can convince the hardcore fans who spend their spare time sending bomb threats to Disney to do the same.

The hardcore fans finally shut their traps, and those of us who can find something to enjoy in the prequels and sequels are free to enjoy the good parts of those films, such as they are! Everybody wins!

I suppose it’s actually kind of amusing. First you had the ones who liked the prequels. Those that didn’t shook their heads.

Then you had the first of the sequels, many liked it, but interestingly you had different groups shaking their heads.

Now it’s a mess, there’s groups all over the place and no one agrees, the whole pack of cards came down on their heads.

It’s beautiful.

The ones I pity the most ate the ones who thought the first sequel was anything but a weak remake then pulled their hair out at the 2nd offering.

"there’s groups all over the place and no one agrees"

You'd think that would lead to spirited debate and a fun fandom, but it hasn't worked out that way. No, there's a minority of assholes in the fandom who have ruined things for everyone else, it's impossible to have a civil or interesting discussion as long as they're around.

It's a pity, I really would like to talk about Star Wars, in terms that don't involve death threats against Lucas or the suits at Disney.
