      Not gonna tag anyone, but I'm seeing the Vader hallway fight going around as the most "badass" moment in star wars history again and its like... Sure! Because the message of Star Wars is to be cool murderous badass and indulge your base, posturing desires for mayhem.

      Look if that's what you want from this series, own it. But what I really have trouble with is the portion of the fandom that looks at that scene and is like "yes! yes!" while talking out the other side of their mouth about the wouldve / should've story compass of these films.

      Because it speaks to the obvious: they likely just see these films as personal power fantasy, not by the core moral ethos that drives their narrative. And so every moment of the storytelling is often judged solely through that indulgent lens.

      And it's the not realizing it that makes conversation so hard. It all gets mixed up so easy. But to use a metaphor we'll hopefully grok, I'm so tired of those with the sith wants acting like they're the jedi of this fandom. But of course, this is all bigger than star wars.

      Also sorry, I gotta mute this thread and go do work stay sane. I'm just trying to make a salient point about storytelling and how I think it best works and reveals our human intentions. Luv all ur buttz <3

          The most badass scene in Star Wars is Yoda lifting Luke’s X-wing out of the water in the swamp. It’s what the entire series is about.pic.twitter.com/QCjJY0jOsj

          I like this. My first idea was Luke turning of his lightsaber in front of the Emperor, but maybe there's a bunch of "badass" scenes that transport the moral core of SW. R1 is one of my least like SW films, and the Vader murder spree is one of the reasons..

          All war and no stars. I want to start asking such people (and hope to one day ask Abrams) what they think the moral of the original star wars trilogy is

          five very well-explained tweets and still so many responses entirely missing the point 😕

          This is why people think Rogue One is the “Best” modern Star Wars film. It’s not based on the story. It’s all about the spectacle and the power fantasy aspect.

          Frankly it should’ve been him chasing the main characters. The way I would’ve written that film would have most of them survive intact until the last stretch when Vader shows up and begins slaughtering. Plot and power fantasy and horror all at once.
