Feeling really out of it and kinda had a sudden craving to play Smash for the first time in a while, so booted up the game and started sparring against Lv 5 NPCs. And as is usually the case when I'm physically feeling like a mess and play anyway, I am doing TERRIBLY.

A Lv 5 Jigglypuff NPC landed -three- Rests on me. I'm pretty sure I couldn't even do that on purpose normally!

Jigglypuff is trying to give you a message.

The Last Jedi is actually my favorite Star Wars movie. I have some issues with the whole Casino Land sideplot due to it being ultimately a waste of time but it's kind of the point.
I like that Luke recognizes and calls out the Jedi Order's problems.
I like that it does away with the "royal bloodline" concept the original trilogy had.
I like that it has moments where things simply don't go well for the heroes.
I like that it subverts and deconstructs the traditional tropes of the badass rebel hero, the mysterious and unbeatable mastermind and the redeemed villain.

And I like that characters are allowed to make mistakes. Because that was the whole theme of the movie: "mistakes".
Everyone in the movie commits a mistake and they're allowed to learn from them.
Luke almost did a heinous act and in turn created a monster.
Rey insists on Kylo's good nature but eventually finds out he's actually just evil and hateful.
Poe believes he's always in the right and his antics end up costing many of the Resistance fighters.
Finn misunderstands how the galaxy's morality works and ends up betrayed and to end with his quest being meaningless.

But they're allowed to make those mistakes, they cost them all something but they work on correcting them.
The only one who doesn't is Kylo himself. He was given the chance to change, he was given the chance to be redeemed, to fix his own mistakes. And what did he do? He just became more hateful and continued the same path because he couldn't acknowledge his own faults and blamed everyone else for them.


TLJ is a good *** movie that isn't really your typical space opera adventure, it's really more like Empire where it is the low point for basically every character and the goal is to rise up from that to higher heights than before.
And it's still hype as ****, the Phasma battle may have been short but it was really good, Snoke's death was a great twist and it only gave me me more hope for Kylo, the subsequent fight is easily my favorite in the entire saga, and the final confrontation of Luke vs Kylo was a beautiful culmination of Luke's character and a perfect showcase of how twisted Kylo Ren is.


Tl;dr TLJ is good as ****. Give it some years and this will be as highly regarded as Empire Strikes Back

I definitely disagree with this. The Last Jedi’s rep is getting worse with age from what I’ve seen. Don’t think it’s impact is even close to empire’s.

Watching NIS America stream...

Cold Steel III coming to NA at Fall 2019, only PS4... alright, guess they're gonna miss those potential Switch audience then... maybe next time Nihon Falcom.

Princess Guide looks awesome, it's similar to Octopath Traveler, but you have four Princesses with multiple endings.

Lapris X Labyrinth, the artstyle reminds of Odin Sphere a bit.

I only know about a few movies when it comes to Star Wars.

I own some LEGO sets and games, played a few non-LEGO titles and adore the soundtrack; but outside of that the series never got into me so much.
From the new movies I only saw The Force Awakens, which I found fine. For some reason I don’t really want to check the other ones after it, and I can’t put my finger on why.

A few of the new Star Wars comics by Marvel are neat doh, but I only own three issues.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

I've only seen one Star Wars movie, and I didn't even watch it willingly. It was one of the movies in my film class.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Star Wars talk huh...where’s Episode 9’s Title tho?

 

[---]

Star Wars I find to be massively overrated as a whole. I appreciate it at the minimalist level of light vs. dark and what it did for cinema, beyond that I think it tries to be more than what it is for the sake of $. That's not to say sequels or further world building can't happen, it just has to be done with precision (is that even possible given the fanbase expectations/expanded universe media?) and the MCU is an outlier in Hollywood history.

TLJ for me I think was best summed up by Nostalgia Critic's Disneycember review. The characters and set pieces are amazing, but the risks it took with the formula didn't exactly have any payoffs or take us down a more interesting path than what was charted in Episode 7. I'm personally of the opinion that you could skip TLJ and go from Episode 7 right into Episode 9 given how little the plot moved forward.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I liked The Last Jedi. It wasn't a perfect film but I liked a lot of what it did.

It feels like a wildly different film from Force Awakens, whether the reasons for it are good or bad depends on the viewer. But I personally liked it quite a bit.

Semi-related note, General Grievous' portrayal in the 2008 Clone Wars show should've been more like his portrayal in the 2003 Clone Wars show.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

All I know is that lots of people who hate Star Wars for being too political would be very upset to learn that the original trilogy's baddies are literally a nazi allegory

 

[Mythra]

Im still upset with Star Wars for never having a Spock cameo

 

[Opossum]

All I know is that lots of people who hate Star Wars for being too political would be very upset to learn that the original trilogy's baddies are literally a nazi allegory

I mean there are still people who refuse to believe Zootopia's story is a racism allegory despite it being clear as day. Is that really a surprise?

 

[Deleted member]

I think women deserve more rights in this society.

 

[Aurane]

Tried out Smite.

Yup.

That's a game alright. ._.

 

[Chrono.]

Tried out Smite.

Yup.

That's a game alright. ._.

Doesn't sound like you were too smitten by it.

 

[Aurane]

Doesn't sound like you were too smitten by it.

I had no idea what I was doing and I lack the patience to learn.

Also it booted me for desertion when I wasnt even in a game, so...

 

[Wario Bros.]

Whatever you think about The Last Jedi, just be thankful it's not like the Holiday Special.

 

[MSmariosonic]

I enjoyed TLJ for what it was.

Good point actually, however, Cameron doesn't just make two movies, he direct/producer plenty of movies... not saying he's a bad director, what he's known for is the outstanding special effects he did for those films. And I think that's one of the reason why movies like Titanic and Avatar have a super high grossing.

He also went to the bottom of Mariana Trech via a submarine before , and that's awesome.

And I believe the chance of Alita: Battle Angel getting a sequel getting a sequel is high, since the movie's plot only involves in 4 volumes of the manga.

Oh yeah, I remember I have seen some news article where Cameron gave harsh criticism on Avengers: Infinity War, I think..., so that's another interesting thing to mention when it comes to Alita vs Captain Marvel LOL.

Oh believe me when I say I know my Jim Cameron trivia

I kind of agree with Cameron regarding superhero movies but he did contradict himself with the announcement of the Avatar sequels

Or Phantom Menace/Attack of the Clones.

Have you seen the Holiday Special?

*I've actually seen people unironically say both of the following satirical replies I'm about make*

All I know is that lots of people who hate Star Wars for being too political would be very upset to learn that the original trilogy's baddies are literally a nazi allegory

No, Gwen, it's a Cold War allegory. The Empire are communists and Palpatine is Stalin.
Why do you think the lightsabers are Blue vs. Red?

I mean there are still people who refuse to believe Zootopia's story is a racism allegory despite it being clear as day. Is that really a surprise?

Zootopia is actually an allegory about reverse racism since the once-oppressed group(Preys) becomes the oppressers against the Predators.

I remember someone, I think it was RedLetterMedia, saying that Star Wars, by it's very nature, has a very small universe (ironically). We know next to nothing about the world and how it works, which is part of the reason why Force Awakens rehashed everything (beyond just playing things super safe).

Even the World Building in the prequel trilogy means next to nothing because a) the politics of the galaxy are rewritten at the end and b) only one of the shown planets is ever revisited.

This isn't helped by Disney scrapping all the extended universe stuff in favour of their own stuff.

Essentially all we know about Star Wars is "Rebels against Big Military", we know diddly squat about how the rest of the verse works.

 

[Deleted member]

Goodbye for a while.
I am fine, do not worry.

 

[Aurane]

Alright. Arena of Valor is okay so far.

 

[Louise]

hello again everyone is there someplace on here were I can look for other people who play other switch games as well

 

[Chrono.]

Alright. Arena of Valor is okay so far.

Is that another moba?

Have you seen the Holiday Special?

Nah but it's just a holiday special.

Its kinda like the worst Mario game being Hotel Mario. Its awful but, like, who cares.

 

[Aurane]

Is that another moba?

Yeah. It's a simple one too.

 

[Chrono.]

Yeah. It's a simple one too.

Damn... may try it out then, but I'm still just looking for card games lol.

 

[Aurane]

Damn... may try it out then, but I'm still just looking for card games lol.

Try Lightseekers. You have to go handheld but it's a card game.

 

[Fire Emblemier]

Or Phantom Menace/Attack of the Clones.

I like Attack of the Clones, honestly

 

[Chrono.]

Try Lightseekers. You have to go handheld but it's a card game.

I never dock my switch so it's all good.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Hi peeps, I'm back.

 

[praline]

Honestly none of the Star Wars movies really interested me

 

[Aurane]

Honestly wish I could get some of you to play Paladins with me so I can gain boosted exp and coins from battles play with my friends.

 

[Chrono.]

Honestly none of the Star Wars movies really interested me

Just play Final Fantasy 4 and 12 and it's basically the same thing.

 

[praline]

Just play Final Fantasy 4 and 12 and it's basically the same thing.

I love Final Fantasy 4 so sure!

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Last jedi is aight. Has its monents where im like...not a fan, but it is still an enjoyable watch for me.

 

[Deleted member]

Just play Final Fantasy 4 and 12 and it's basically the same thing.

FFIV is my favorite Star Wars game tbh

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I can at least remember Attack of The Clones fondly for that awesome lengthy battle sequence that starts with the geonosian arena.

 

[Deleted member]

Nah but it's just a holiday special.

Its kinda like the worst Mario game being Hotel Mario. Its awful but, like, who cares.

The sad thing is the holiday special is much more relevant to the history of star wars than hotel mario. And you're talking about a franchise with a fandom that obsesses over every little thing to come out of star wars....

Also, the holiday special is one of those pieces of media that's so bad it only aired once. Like rapsittie street kids.(Both of which Mark Hamill was apart of.)
