Toxy said: I would like to clarify that I am not even 30 years old yet, let alone 25. I grew up with the prequel trilogy yet I can see its flaws without nostalgia googles. Another note to add to my dislike of the prequel trilogy was the terrible plot handling of Anakin's turn to the darkside. This could have been handled so much better. Say what you want about Attack of the Clones, at least Anakin slaughtering the Tusken Raiders due to his mother's death had some sort of insight into his turn into the darkside. The Revenge of the Sith on the other hand... oh was it bad. The action sequences were excellent. Anakin's turn was terrible. |
General psychology. Women are considered more in tune spiritually when we talk about most cultures, simple as that. It's a very basic explanation. If looked at in the scope of the OT, I'd argue it's even placed specifically to help put Luke's Dagobah hallucinations into perspective, but that's me reading too much into things as a writer. Either way, the explanation's legitimacy in canon is irrelevant because the hole's legitimacy in canon is irrelevant too. It's an anthill compared to other examples you could make if you really wanna get into plot holes. But if I could figure something like that out when I was like ten, safe bet is it's not too big an issue. I mean, shit, it's not like the plot was ever designed to work cohesively from movie to movie anyway, they were just made to sell and be enjoyed in the moment. Hence magical face turn for Vader in VI's final second despite any logical solution to the plot ending in some way that doesn't involve making your chosen hero look pathetic.
Mind you, again, I'm being extra harsh on the OT right now to make a point. I see them just as highly as I do the PT. I think the garbage I point out in the OT now is better than most of Anakin's shit in Ep III's second half, but only slightly (and mostly because they're isolated issues as opposed to a whole character). It's in the same way that I hate most games in the Sonic franchise because they're god awful but for some reason I keep playing them hoping the next is decent, except I actually enjoy Star Wars lol.
Lastly, Medichlorians was fine for me even if it's unnecessary. It feels cheap since it's never really used in any significant way, but the scientist in me likes some attempt at justifying it rather than leaving it a complete mystery. It could've been much worse; honestly I think Lucas created the Medichlorians to sell some sort of Magic 8 ball that would tell kids how much Force they had lol
You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt! I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading. After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!
