      Definitely one of my least favorite aspects of them. Everyone must get a backstory, and they must all be interrelated. The galaxy’s a small place apparently.

        Story takes place in a whole-ass galaxy. Everyone winds up back on Tatooine for some stupid reason; the planet with barely one ecosystem, practically zero vegetation, no economy that matters, yet populated with two (?) cities. Other planets also have exactly one ecosystem, culture, and one optional urban center1. There’s also only 12 or so planets that matter, yet half of everyone you meet are from all the other ones. You may not like what you see, but this is peak sci-fi writing performance, right here. /s

        This story could take place in a diverse corner of a single Earth-like planet and it wouldn’t be all that different.


        1 - Meanwhile planet Coruscant is an urban center where the ecosystem can best be described as “traffic” and the culture is “city folk that inexplicably eat at 1950’s-style diners”.

      Not when, in a universe known to contain non-organic beings able to perform tasks like smuggling plans, a gunnery officer decided to save lasers (as though they were apparently a precious resource) and not fire on an escape pod with no life signs? I feel like that would be the most appropriate moment to stop taking Star Wars seriously.

      I don’t think he’s supposed to have designed it or anything. I think it’s an existing model, and he just scrounged for scrap to put him together. It’s basically the thing he’s known for as a child. His pod racer seems a little more unbelievable, right?

          it’s very synchronous rather than causal. i don’t think the rhetoric and messaging of the original star wars was for you. if you’re familiar with the concepts and ideas that went into star wars in the first place then, at least imo, it’s a very natural plot turn that threepio was himself built by vader. yes, the story revolves around anakin in this grandiose and cosmic way. that’s a feature, not a bug.

          Hence why star wars is a chosen one, hero’s quest, prophetised fantasy. Not a Sci fi.

          When you and your kin are all prophetised to do important shit, there is no coincidence. it’s all part of a bigger divine plan of fate. Or it’s the midi-chlorians or something I dunno, I slept through the prequels.

      “The 3PO-series protocol droid, also known as the 3PO-series protocol unit, was a model of protocol droid produced by Cybot Galactica sometime prior to the Invasion of Naboo. They were equipped with a TranLang III communication module, and as a result were fluent in over 6 million forms of communication. C-3PO was an example of this model, though he was rebuilt out of spare parts. TC-series protocol droids appeared similar to 3PO units.”

      Wookieepedia

      There are a ton of 3PO-series droids in the Star Wars universe.

      Vader would not look at a 3P0 droid and think “maybe that’s the droid I built as a child and left on a plant in the outer rim”

      Same with R2-D2

      It’s just for the movie sake that there aren’t 30 CP0s and 50 R2-D2 units running around in the background. “Wait did Biggs just get R2 in his x-wing?” No, it’s some completely different droid I’ve never seen. Some things have to be adapted for the movie.

      As for difficulty, no harder than building like a PC. If there are a ton of CP0 units, he simply takes working parts from a dozen broken ones and pieces them together. He’s a child, they fib and stretch the truth. He could have just attached new legs to the unit that needed only legs and then went through the setup process of “programing” him.

      He didn’t Tony Stark C3P0. He pieced together a robot from pre-made CP0 scrap parts.

      Considering they are sentient beings they are basically Skywalker family/property, is it really so far fetched they would accompany Leia? Like, they can’t think for themselves and as much as Vader loved the thrill of being right in the center of the action so did r2. 3p0 just wants to be loved.

      That’s what you’re supposed to do, though. They’re fun space cowboy movies. Anybody who gets upset about the prequels being cheesy or having plot holes is just remembering the originals through rose-colored lenses.

      Revolutionary for the time, sure, but the fact that some of it didn’t work in spite of the level of ambition is (for me, at least) part of the charm.

        Hold on hold on. You trying to argue that the prequels are the same quality as the originals, that’s just batshit crazy. The revisionism these last years about the prequels because all the kids who were born right around then and grew up watching them is wild. They are not good movies. Sure there’s stuff to like and anyone can find enjoyment in nostalgia, but to say the originals are just as bad and it’s only rose colored glasses is just wrong.

          IDK, I kind of agree with them. As a 90s kid, the originals didn’t really impress 12-year-old me. The acting was amateurish and cheesy, the “special effects” were cheesy, the story was extremely cliche by that point, the writing was 18-month aged Parmesan cheesy. To 12-year-old-me, the prequels had slightly better acting, better special effects, a much more compelling and interesting story, and the writing was still pretty cheesy. Maybe the dark, brooding main character really did it for my 12-year-old emo self, I dunno. But yeah, I don’t think it’s that crazy to prefer the prequels to the original trilogy. Like, looking back, neither trilogies really hold up, but the originals are very much propped up pretty much just because they were “revolutionary” nearly fifty years ago.

            As another 90s kid that watched the prequels in theatres as they came out: I enjoyed the originals, even though I was only about half your age at the time. Probably worth noting that my mum made sure that I watched the original trilogy before Phantom Menace. And I’m sorry but the acting in the PT is supposed to be better than in the OT? What? No. Nothing against the actors because a lot of it was due to writing (especially for Anakin and Padmé’s shared scenes, especially especially in II where Anakin is such a fucking creep) and direction, but no.

              If absolutely nothing else, none of the prequels are just a blatant, shittier retread of Episode IV. They all at least have their own identities, even if the identities of Episodes I and II are shit. When not taking Episode IV into account, Episode III is still absolutely better than FA even though it’s just like a 7/10.

              Even though Episode I and II are actually agonizing for me to sit through, I would still put them above FA because they’re not just shallowly copying someone else’s homework to make a nostalgia-addicted fanbase collectively shit their pants.

            Pointing out that the prequels have the slightest hint of an interesting story does not change that they are garbage movies. All you’ve done is summarize the plot in vague terms that are only slightly more vague than the movies themselves. They do not “explore how an opportunistic politician can subvert democracy to create a fascist dictatorship”, they barely even dip their toes in the attempt.

            The prequels do not do an adequate job of establishing why the republic is vulnerable to being hijacked by a fascist dictator. They do not adequately establish how Palpatine is able to seize power. Germany was reeling from WW2 and was thus vulnerable to a charismatic dictator like Hitler. Hitler successfully used the hate and anger of german citiziens, caused by the very real suffering they were experiencing post WW1.

            What the fuck happened in the prequels? There was a trade dispute, whatever that means, (it’s never explained in the slightest), and so Palpatine gets appointed supreme leader or something? No suffering of average people is asserted, no populist rhetoric that gains momentum because of real suffering. Just, there’s a war so we need a supreme leader and it has to be Palpatine.

            The plot is completely nonsensical and I challenge you to outline Palpatines rise to power in detail. Every single character acts like a complete idiot and does nothing as Palpatine blatantly seizes power.

            Not to mention the dog shit dialogue, stiff delivery, boring characters, racist caricatures, and blatant and obnoxious pandering to children.

            The prequels are absolute awful movies in basically every way imaginable. Pretending they are some sort of intellectual piece of work just exposes you as an idiot or someone who hasn’t watched the movies since they were 8 years old.

            Sorry to be a dick but those movies are seriously fucking bad and I have issues.

              The Republic’s democracy is not functioning. The senators are corrupt and only care about laws that benefit the 1%. We see the streets of Coruscant outside of the Senate and Temple, and it’s a shithole. There’s rampant poverty and drug use.

              The Trade Federation are a symbol of bourgeois corruption in the minds of the people. The Trade Federation impose unreasonable tariffs and fines on the people, contributing to poverty. That’s what they’re doing to Naboo. The people sympathise with Naboo because Naboo is being oppressed the same way they are. And when Naboo stands up to the bullies, they get blockaded and subject to an illegal invasion.

              The Republic does not have an army, a command structure, or a political mechanism for dealing with war. This is silly, but bear with drag. The Senate has to vote to go to war with the Trade Federation. But the Senators can’t agree on how, and they’d much rather be voting on corrupt issues like giving themselves raises or giving tax breaks to trillionaires.

              Palpatine offers to take over all the messy business of controlling the political wartime strategy. The Senators support this idea because they don’t give a shit and just want the problem to go away. The people support this idea because they’re tired of the Senators never getting anything important done, and the see Naboo as a symbol of their own problems. Palpatine promises to bring the Trade Federation down a few notches and make life easier for everyone.

              Palpatine gains complete control over the Republic’s military policy, and then proceeds to keep the Republic in a forever war that increases poverty and destruction, while promising everyone that the answer to the problem is to just give him more power. Like George Bush.

            I remember being so bored watching Ep 2 that I started to notice that every time a scene changes, Padmé has a different outfit on her. The most suspenseful part was when a scene ended with her tied to a pole in an arena. Surely she won’t be able to change now, right? Well, turns out that right as the action switched back to her, she got slashed across her back by a monster and took the opportunity to tear up her long white dress into a different set of clothes.

              I thought the one was gone forever, but my sister wasn’t going to let that happen. She said when I posted it to MySpace she knew I’d be embarrassed one day and delete it so she printed it off. Haha. What a dick.

      Why would he look at security footage? He’s not a cop from the 80s, he just commands his army to find those. He’s not evil enought to micromanage.

        Levels of Evil

        Level I - burn kittens and watch them suffer
        Level II - build a space weapon so massive it blows up planets
        Level III - micromanage your minions and review security footage

          Imagine standing around during guard duty and Darth Vader calls up saying if you have time to lean you have time to clean.

            Let’s touch base on this at a later date and see if we can really drill down and get our ducks in a row. I don’t have the bandwidth right now, so we’ll circle back now that it’s on my radar.

      There are plenty of 3P and R2 series robots running around. There’s no reason to believe he thought he knew them.

      Further, there’s a comic where he sees C-3PO’s blasted body and has a flashback. So even though they didn’t share the screen, Vader did share a moment.

      My actual biggest issue is that Vader stood in front of Leia and didn’t seem to have any idea that she could use the force or that she was his daughter.

        that she could use the force

        Except she couldn’t. She was Force sensitive, but had no training and couldn’t “use” the Force. And he had no idea he had children until after ANH. If he felt any connection at all to Leia he could have easily dismissed it as knowing Bail during the Clone Wars and that her family connection to Bail.

        My actual biggest issue is that Mara Jade isn’t canon

      I don’t think they have security cameras. You see characters just walking through the halls and you see them running away from soldiers easily hiding behind corners. They don’t even have security near their power sources or jails.

      I know they can record videos and holograms. Maybe it’s against culture. Maybe they are just idiots. Maybe the story could not move forward if security was competent.

        It’s 70’s technology. They have a couple cameras in prime spots, but no one reviews them unless there’s a reason to. No one is watching them live.

            We’ve seen droids are valuable, worth reprogramming, and last an incredibly long time. I guess they are better used elsewhere? Yet uncle Owen, a simple moisture farmer, can afford multiple of them seemingly on a whim.

            Also the main place we are talking about there not being enough cameras is warships which lack space. I don’t think battleships have anything like that today. Why doesn’t the fully constructed Death Star in A New Hope have a fully monitored camera system? No idea. Perhaps Galen Erso managed to include that major oversight in his design. Along with the many other problems with the first Death Star like the vent shaft that destroys the whole thing.

              One thing about Star Wars that is similar to westerns the film genre, but almost reversed, is that the universe is always in constant decline. Things are always worse than the generation before. So holding onto last generation’s tech is a benefit.

              Where in a typical western it’s about the new generation replacing the old, the new tech replacing the old. A new railroad is replacing the horse. Star Wars exists in a place where weapons and armor can last generations.

      It took me a bit to recognise that as describing “effete”. I don’t think you found the best definition - the main way it’s used today is affected, overrefined, and effeminate.

      Considering he was a standard protocol droid (E chu ta!), he probably built him from the scrap of previously deactivated ones. Still impressive, but certainly not “from scratch.”

          I like this analogy in particular because it also explains how Vader might not have connected the dots that this was the same protocol and astrometric droids from his childhood.

          When I was a kid I had an old apple IIe computer. An IT guy I knew gave me some parts for it that his company was discarding and I added them to my computer.

          But if I were to see another apple II computer today, I would never assume that it was my exact computer from my childhood.

            Well, computers don’t have distinct numbers/names they’re called by, either. There’s only one C-3P0 and Anakin called him that when he built him.

              I don’t think Vader and the Imperials knew that the protocol droid’s name was C-3PO, though.

                True, true, he wouldn’t know him on sight. He’s probably seen lots of golden protocol droids.

          I think it would be harder because not only are droids more complex, but he had to source all his parts from a junkyard.

            Maybe the galaxy has an excellent standards committee so all these components are compatible. Like if you just connect red wires to red wires everything just works? So he just went around the junkyard looking for compatible wires and stuff?

        Seems like it would vary based on how close to Naboo you were. The protocol droids like C3PO seem to be common everywhere, while R2D2 seems to be the rarer of the two, especially after the end of the Clone Wars.
