A different setting, like perhaps Batman?

so i saw star wars for the first time (the first one from the original trilogy) and these are the main things I got out of it:
Luke is a dick, how is his family killed and right away my mans goes "k lets go, i got nothing to do here anymore". like he gave no fucks whatsoever. I liked that.
Why is there a robot that speaks english and another one that speaks bee bop boo? They need a robot to translate a robot... and then they fixed the bee bop boo robot to look brand new and no one thought "yo, this robot is dumb, lets give it a speaking module or something so we can understand it without the help of another robot". I hate the bee bop boo robot.
and lastly, the death star is dumb.
overall I thought it was alright, really slow start though. I'll watch the sequel tomorrow.

Empire Strikes back is a much slower burn than A New Hope, but really sets the dramatic and political stage for Return of the Jedi, which does a lot to resolve what Empire spends two hours setting up. It's often cited as the weakest of the three, but I liked it just fine!

All I know is Han Solo is like the greatest hero of the series. Even counting carbonite.

who thought that was a good idea? the intro for a new hope barely held my attention, i was on my phone a lot cause it was so boring.
i hope its at least interesting. Also I hope Luke continues to give as little fucks as humanly possible, thats my favorite thing about him. I really laughed so hard when he only gave 1 really tiny fuck about his family dying. what he basically said was 'oh okay, i don't got chores no more so i can go with you' lmfaooRIGHT!? i was like when the fuck does this movie end though? i was almost gonna stop watching it and just finish it tomorrow.
i like him too

Lucas conceived the trilogy as one giant mash of ideas in a single script at first, imagine how long that would have been!

It starts off with a battle sequence pretty early on, but from that point forward it mostly cuts between segments showing the different moves each set of characters makes in their respective parts of the galaxy. A New Hope was where we got to meet each of the characters and learn about their surface-level traits, Empire Strikes Back digs a bit deeper into the characters. Well, as deep as anything Lucas is involved with goes.
Wait, are you talking about Empire Strikes Back? Because it's my favorite and I thought it was considered as the best one? Or are you talking about Return Of The Jedi, which I thought was considered the worst of the old trilogy.

OH OH OH, I forgot, the weirdest thing about New Hope. So the bar that is like somewhere around the early middle, when we meet han solo. That place is straight up backwards. We're cool if you cut off someone's arm, also feel free to kill someone here too. BUT WE DON'T SERVE ROBOTS, THATS WHERE WE DRAW THE LINE!! what an odd thing not to allow when you literally allow murder in your bar. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't bother me (the bee bop boo robot does), its just a head scratcher is all.

Attitudes must have changed a bit since I last really bothered talking Star Wars, so that might be the case now, but I remember some years ago it was in vogue to prefer RotJ over Empire. I've spent many a year feeling as though I was in the minority there! ;-;

Bars are businesses. Robots don't drink. People who kill other people do.
That is all I've been listening to for the past two days. I have a problem.

Aren't most films in the two hour range?

but the robots were accompanied by people with $$. the bots could've been his servants for all he knew.
haven't seen ep 5 but ep 4 is so slow that shit felt like a solid 3 and a half hours.

A New Hope is 2:04
Empire Strikes Back is 2:07
My point was that lots of films are that long. How long is the average anime episode?
How much is Prinny paying you?

All this Fallout talk around is making thirsty so I'll do another Unarmed/Explosion build again. Punching the fuck out of everything close ranged and exploding everyone else is the best.
it's so you to like ep5 the best
yea it's mostly that i wish they were shorter, not really a fault of the movies

I agree that the movies were a little slow-paced, but I don't think they're too long. However, I think your opinion is the prevailing one, and can see the future already:
Jaden Smith stars as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars Episode IV Part 1, coming Christmas 2026
Episode IV part 2 coming Christmas 2027

Yeah I didn't mind Episode 4 and 5, but I felt they dragged as well watching them recently.
Not as bad as Episode 2 though. Episode 1 is a masterpiece compared to that thing.
Not even Jango Fett could save it.

you'll buy it and you're going to like it god dammit!!
I need money and interest and currently lacking on both.
i honestly wish most movies were shorter in general
i feel like there's rarely a reason to make movies longer than hour and a half
like i'm not saying apocalypse now should've been shorter or whatever, and i've watched a bunch of 4/5 hour movies and i'm ok with them, but at the same time i think 2hrs being the norm is longer than i think should be

You're gonna love it. It has prinnies.
wat? there are 5 hour movies? jesus christ, I'd never watch something that long in one sitting. It would take me like 3 days or more to finish something that long

I'm 22. I've tried to watch star wars before but i shit you not, i stop in that intro with all the reading. If i wanted to read I'd read a fucking book
I had to skip the intro that way it could hold onto my attention. Only reason I'm watching the original trilogy is cause that new movie looks pretty good so yea. I mean I already know all the major stuff of star wars but I'd still like to see the original trilogy before I (might) watch the new one.there's an argie propaganda movie that lasts 8 hours
it's interesting, tho yeah, gets long haha

For me Star Wars has always been more about it's universe than it's films for me.
I've enjoyed a lot of games set within it, even before seeing the films (still haven't seen 6).
If anything I think a big chunk is that us younger folk expect more jedi fights and action, which is not what 4 and 5 necessarily are. Episode 1 has more enjoyable action than those films. But thats just a case of the era and budget on those films.

Since we're talking about long movies, I just watched Apocalypse Now Redux for the first time. Wow thats a great movie but three hours made me split it in half between yesterday and today
