Are they actually mentioned Barriss anywhere since the new canon? Maybe some obsure quote from Pablo?

I find it funny how a well known, moderately powerful Jedi was given the perfect "Survive Order 66" excuse but hasn't been seen to have used it. Are they still figuring out what they're going to do with her, or have they just scrapped her entirely. Imo, she would've been excellent as the High Inquisitor, but that boat has long sailed.

Did you ever consider they're being spiteful factors who just want to use the Jedi name?

>>92353986
There's certain rules to being a Jedi. If your whole thing is that you don't obey any of the rules or actively go against them (such as using dark side abilities), you're not really a Jedi. It's a bit like saying you're a meat-eating vegetarian, it doesn't work that way.

>>92353986
For two reasons;

1) The "I'm a Jedi but I don't have to follow the rules and can even dabble in the dark side" is a contradiction of what it even means to be a Jedi. See pic related.

2) Applying the term to non-Jedi makes no sense. Just because someone is a force user, but isn't evil, doesn't mean they get to be called Jedi. It would be like calling any religious practicing person a "Gray Priest."

Groups can have their own names, such as the Dagoyans, or the Nightsisters.

If the force user is not in a group, then they will just be a "force wielder", or go by their own title. (I AM THE BENDU, THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE.)

The main point is that calling someone who does anti-Jedi things a Jedi is an oxymoron.

Also thematically, it doesn't really make sense. It's a sensitive position where a good person is using the dark side. The dark side is inherently bad, corruptible, metaphorical for greed, and hate.

This can't go down without consequences (See: Vos), or being truly in the middle morally, an asshole like Bendu.

This is why there can not be "Gray Jedi". It's an oxymoron, that contradicts the foundations of the lore of the franchise.

It basically stems from the Vidya where they needed an excuse to have characters who could use all aspects of the force we see in the movies, becuz vidya.

What Happened to Alien Mandalorians?

>>92353955
That's pretty much me until the third act of TFA. By which point I'm constantly making the 'whaaa?' face as my immersion and suspension of disbelief is shattered, in a FANTASY UNIVERSE of all things, and begin to question the entire movie.

>>92353986
The Force has a light side and a dark side, but no dork side for a third orientation.
There are neither White Jedi nor Black Jedi, so the phrase Gray Jedi has no foundation.

>>92354188
Non-canon.

Mandalorians (surprise, surprise) are from Mandalore. Which are all human.

In very, VERY rare cases, Mandalorians may welcome Clans from Mandalorian-conquered worlds into official Mandalorians houses. That's what happened with the Wren Clan, making them Honorary Mandalorians, despite not being of heritage. (TCW makes it clear that most pure Mandalorians are not okay with this, causing a civil war when Maul takes over)

There are no examples of any aliens (beyond Maul) being welcomed as official Mandalorians.

Basically, the dark side is addicting. It's very hard to pull back from once you start. It's not impossible, mind you, but it's the sort of thing where effectively nobody is going to be able to use the dark side more than a few times without it corrupting them.

This is because of the relationship between the Living and Cosmic Force. Your emotions, your energy, your anger and hatred, go out into the Living Force that you generate. The Living Force feeds into the Cosmic Force, though, so the corrupting influence you put out spreads and changes in nature before being fed back to you through the midichlorians, corrupting you further. It creates a feedback loop that eventually twists your body and mind into a monster like the Emperor. (Okay, this whole paragraph is actually my own theory, but I think it squares well with everything we learned in the season 6 TCW Yoda arc).

Now, there's another type of gray Jedi, which is a Jedi that doesn't use the dark side but has some kind of beef with the Jedi Order and doesn't follow the Council's rules. But if you're not part of the Order, you're not a Jedi at all; you're something else. If you ARE part of the Order, like Qui-Gon, you aren't really gray: you're still fully light, you're just a maverick when it comes to the internal politics of the Jedi.

So the idea of a "gray Jedi" is really just a result of fundamentally misunderstanding how the Force and its sides work.

>>92354314
Okay, I learned something today.

So there may be some honorary alien Mando clans, especially post-TCW

But right now, the vast majority are purebloods, if there are any alien ones, they are in the vast minority, as we have seen none of them yet.

I'm curious about Bo-Katan and the upcoming Mandalore arc in Rebels s4

But thats not true. The whole point of the Je'daii order was balance between dark and light. Gray jedi may be a bad label for this, but the concept of handling dark and light in a functional way exists.

>>92354197
>The Force has a light side and a dark side
No it doesn't. That's the point.

Just because there is a Dark side does not mean there has to be a Light.

There is only the Force. As the Dark Side is a corruption, and nothing more. That is why there is no 'Gray' as it denies the reality of the Force, and you will fall because of it.

>>92354418

At this point it's based on coming from either the planet Mandalore or coming from the Mandalore sector. I think Martin meant to say "sector", not "system".

Satine, as Duchess of Mandalore, didn't just rule Mandalore itself: she ruled nearly 1000 systems in the sector. She's not even from Mandalore proper; she's from Kalevala, another influential system in the sector, represented in the Senate by Tal Merrik.

>>92354549
Yeah, it's called a Jedi.

The Jedi are all about keeping the force in balance.

This does NOT mean embracing the dark side and getting cool McLightning powers.

The fault of the Jedi is that they were arrogant and started ignoring the dark side rather than keeping shit in check, to the point that they neutered their own emotions.

Oddly enough that didn't bother me.

Doesn't the other Jedi with him say, "Any closer and we'd be flying down corridors."

>>92354262
>That's what happened with the Wren Clan, making them Honorary Mandalorians, despite not being of heritage.

Considering the autistic nature of Mandalorians, I doubt they actually 'welcome' people in fully until they've mixed some of their own into them so that they have some blood ties to Mandalore. Otherwise I doubt they'd tolerate folks like the Wrens calling themselves Mandalorian without at least ONE ancestor having been from Mandalore proper. And it would fit in with some Mandalorians like, House Vizsla, who see themselves as more Mandalorian than others, because folks like the Wrens are effectively halbreeds/mongrels in their eyes.

As much as I like where that's going, Sabine's probably got a Mandalorian ancestor already. Otherwise I don't think clan Wren would exist at this point.

I liked TFA until they got off Jakku.

The rathtars are just awful. That whole sequence felt Abrams was trying to do Firefly wrong without even doing Star Wars at all.

Takodana is mediocre. Maz's cantina is hopelessly derivative, as is Maz herself. The battle is disappointingly tiny, and I'm still annoyed about Starkiller Base's ability to just instantly shoot across the galaxy; even if the lasers are supposed to be entering hyperspace, it should still take hours.

The destruction of the Hosnian system had zero weight because it had never been mentioned before it was destroyed, while Alderaan's destruction happened after Alderaan had been mentioned something like 50 times and turned into the goddamned Emerald City of Oz.

And then we get to the Battle of Starkiller Base itself. Honestly, I'm willing to grant Rey all of her abilities, except the mind trick. The mind trick is just bullshit. Her appearance of hypercompetence is not due to her abilities actually being unreasonably powerful; it's due to the fact that every single situation she's been in all movie has played directly to her strengths and nobody else's, so nobody else has gotten a chance to save the day unless she's absent from the party. But the mind trick is just strictly bullshit.

And then of course we have the whole "lightspeed through the shield" thing. I hate how the new canon has decided that you can both enter(R1) and exit(TFA) lightspeed in an atmosphere AND gravity well yet ALSO still has interdictors that function by producing gravity wells (Tarkin and Rebels). That's just wrong. There's a miscommunication somewhere between the movie writers and everybody else, and I can't believe the story group didn't step in on this shit and stop it.

Kylo punching his wound is just kind of confusing. Like, I know the theories (drawing power from pain), and I actually think they're right, but in the moment it's kind of bizarre because we've never seen anything like it in canon.

>>92357194
>I can't believe the story group didn't step in on this shit and stop it
Probably because they didn't. Remember, JJ did a lot of things without their knowledge or consent.

The one that really got me, apart from that damn helicopter shot(really should have ended it with the Falcon going into Hyperspace), was the attack on Starkiller. A hand full of X-wings shouldn't have been able to inflict that much damage to something that big. They're not bombers. The entire time I was going, why aren't they using B-wings? or Y-wings for that matter.

>>92357194
>I hate how the new canon has decided that you can both enter(R1) and exit(TFA) lightspeed in an atmosphere AND gravity well yet ALSO still has interdictors that function by producing gravity wells (Tarkin and Rebels).
There's either a threshold for how strong the local gravitational field can be while still allowing hyperspace transitions or travel or there's a limit on the gravity gradient one can transition or travel through. Let Interdictors produce highly localized intense fields, while planets produce more diffuse yet far more intense fields, and it all works.

They could have ended it on the shot just before the helicopter shot, with Luke looking intently at the lightsaber and Rey. Would have been fine.

Starkiller Base is just a tire fire. Everything about it. Word is that when Arndt and Lucas were working on the original 7 script, back when Lucas was still thinking about making it himself before the sale, they did all the Jakku stuff but after that they just went to find Luke, and once they found him he took over the movie from that point forward. They couldn't figure out a good way for him to not overshadow the rest of the party.

They kept working on it, until finally Lucas threw up his hands and said "my name's on it, everybody's going to hate it anyway just for that, fuck it" and sold to Disney. Arndt said he needed 18 months to keep working and get a workable script. Disney execs gave him 6. He quit, Abrams and Kasdan said "we can figure SOMETHING out in 6 months".

My theory is that Starkiller Base was borne of the need to figure something out in 6 months. It's just filler. It's a way to put off finding Luke until the very end of the movie, so that the problem of "Luke takes over the movie" can be passed off to whoever's next in line. The Force Awakens actually ends with Han Solo boarding the Falcon, and everything after that is a holding pattern until the story finally progresses at the very very end.

>>92360629
Jedi are changing.

They responsible for the Sith and the fall of the Old Republic due to their doctrine against the Jedi, this is why Luke is upset and disgruntled with them in The Last Jedi. He's realized it all the responsibility of the Jedi, it is literally 100% their fault due to religious zealotry and dogma. Jedi failed from the get go and need to die in order to actually achieve their goal as peacekeepers...by extinguishing them Luke is saving the galaxy.

"First comes the day
Then comes the night.
After the darkness
Shines through the light.
The difference, they say,
Is only made right
By the resolving of gray
Through refined Jedi sight."

It'll be successors that uphold the Jedi intent as peacekeepers without being ignorant of half of the Force that makes up them and the galaxy.

You're wrong as Lucas revised what it was a loooong time ago.

There's a light and a dark.

Jedi and Sith are both wrong about following the Force. You're supposed to be equal and become at peace.

Jedi beliefs
-Can't use the Force for personal gain
-Gift you give others and only others
-You aren't better than anyone else because of it
Sith
-Serve yourself
-It's yours do what you want with it
-You are better than everyone else because of it

The real answer is in the middle and accepting both parts of it.

>>92361350
Any of the times Lucas talked about the selfish and the selfless. Or the time where he said the dark side was originally supposed to be erased but then changed his mind and said it was part of nature and had to stay.

The galaxy can't ever have too many of either and they have to have a balance. This solved by the grey.

Just finished reading this a few minutes ago. I don't know why I put it off so long, so many anons have been vouching for it, and I thought Bloodlines was the great too. Ended a lot different than I thought it would. I was sure Thane and Ciena were going to die at Jakku, I was pleasantly surprised that they both survived. Are there any hints in canon as to what happened to them afterwards, or am I free to assume that Ciena got out of prison and she and Thane had a whole bunch of kids and lived happily ever after?

Also, I loved how this book continued the old EU tradition of having the main characters play some important role in every important SW moment possible. It's ridiculous but lot's of fun

>>92361637

Heh, they probably would be like Bendu but I think the "through refined Jedi sight" part is what will give them their path. They'll be ordinary people more or less but follow the Jedi code of helping people.

They'll own ships though, have houses...take breaks from work...get in romances openly and etc.

Jedi will be like real law-men like Lucas wanted, but without living a life of civil-slavery. They won't be as monkish as before, but we have a ton of stuff of that with them by now and we can always revisit that in various was...but I'm sure there will still a few here and there that act like monks and some that act like Han.

>>92361721
They've not been mentioned again yet, no

Also yeah, a lot of EU-style "She was just off-screen the whole time!", which is silly fun, as long as they don't start overdoing it like the EU did.

Yeah, that was one of the things that killed the last act of the Plagueis novel for me. There were times when Luceno was going out of his way just to have a "remember that scene from TPM? Well here's where Plagueis was, literally fifteen feet from the camera frame!" moment.

Not him but I never got this idea that the Plagueis novel made sense of Episode 1. I don't remember it really adding anything to it.

>>92362221
It doesn't. The closest it does to "explaining" TPM is shedding more light on how Sidious got control of Gunray, but even that wasn't something that really shed any light on it, since the explanation had been around for years and all Luceno did was depict their initial meeting.

>>92362168

>>92362123
Not really

I don't see how it redeemed anything, it just expanded the fable Sheev told in ROTS, which was already stellar storytelling that sufficed for the PT.

And by "not really", I don't mean that TPM or PT are un-redeemed either. If anything did that, it was TCW, but I honestly think the PT stands on its own just fine anyways.

>>92362482
But at least the Force will be in balance™

But in all seriousness in order to combat that scenario the only thing I think you can do is introduce some sort of pure dark side entities born from shadows that are monstrous beings that become the Sauron/orcs of Star Wars and cause trouble. Make that the new foe.

Well also how Sifo got the idea for the clone army, Plaguies being the brains behind the Naboo invasion, confirming that he and Sdious played a part in Anakin's bith

>>92362977
Oh yeah and also expanded on the lore of the midichlorians

>>92362977
>Plaguies being the brains behind the Naboo invasion
Yeah, but that doesn't really change much other than "well instead of this character planning it, this other character did."

>>92363163
It's a moot point anyway since it's an example of Sidious having the idea but letting Plagueis think it's his. A lot of what Plagueis influences, particularly in the TPM timeframe, is just Sidious tricking him into thinking he's still the brains of the operation.

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. The claim about being ignorant of half the Force was something used by Sheev to send Anakin teetering over the edge. It's when you start compromising your principles that you begin to fall. The problem with the PT Jedi was that they went to far in their attempt to serve the Light that they wound up either ignoring or suppressing their own darkness instead of accepting its existence.

There is no middle ground between the ideal (what Qui Gon, Yoda, and Obi Wan came to learn) and the Sith. It's ideal not to go for personal gain and to serve others, as well as not to hold yourself above others. Being selfish and arrogant is a dick move, and being "in the middle" is basically the average person, who should be striving for the ideal to the best of their ability, as per every single religious system that inspired Star Wars.

Where, pray tell, is the so-called balance there? The whole grey thing comes off as an idiot's attempt at moral philosophy. The middle ground is the Average Joe, who should be striving toward the ideal. Otherwise you're just jogging in place being mediocre or a selfish asshole like the Bendu.

Continuing from the above, this just comes off as wish fulfillment.

"Oh, I'm so edgy and being a goody two shoes like Luke did at the end of ROTJ is like, so unrealistic. Let's go saving the day while shooting lightning from our fingertips."

The whole point of that movie's ending was that Luke had to reject the lure of the Dark Side, which promises solutions by taking the easy way out and compromising on your principles. It's even exemplified in how the Dark Side goes against any concept of balance by warping nature (e.g. creating life, immortality, shooting lightning from your hands).

The whole Grey thing is basically a Redditor's attempt at being deep, but I'd like to think that the average anon possesses enough brain matter to see through that sort of sophistry, and that you're just baiting.

It should probably be something that requires the user to enter a deep trance, and have very extensive training, not just in the force, but in military tactics, just to be able to do it at all. I imagine by the time of the movies it would pretty much be a dead technique given the lack of need.

I found quite a decent completed novel length Star Wars fanfiction with Thrawn and Pellaeon and all the other characters (except for Karrde if I remember):

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3490145/1/Galaxies-Apart

Pros:
It's novel length, lots of plot twists, quite in character in my opinion with realistic happenings and a strong conclusion
No random romance, in character, dynamic plot (etcetera)

Cons:
Beige prose (beiger than Zahn's and beiger than Brandon Sanderson). I thought that the prose could have been a bit more stylised and used some more detail.
Character screentime is essentially proportioned the same as in every other Zahn's book.
Doesn't utilise enough hard science fiction concepts which I think suits space operas
Some overreliance on already extant plot and time travel and some amateurisms that I believe would have been helped by some editing.
Could have pushed the plot envelope harder.

Conclusion: The working of a talented, if not amateur author who has good ideas and can write endings.

>David Hume is a female
I subscribe to Hume's notion that all 'new' ideas are all derived from compounded impressions of the real world for example a golden mountain is gold and a mountain and an unicorn is a horn and a horse. Successful authors must simply be particularly good or well read or draw ideas from a lot of sources to the point that they are able to compound, transpose, augment, diminish and espouse ideas in such a maner that the readers are no longer able to recognise the work as unoriginal.

You can read more about Hume's concept of ideas from here http://comp.uark.edu/~rlee/cgi-bin/ref.cgi?8#8
You will notice that his arguments differ from the rationalist approach that ideas are innate.

No book is original for example Le Morte d'Arthur is still steals ideas from biblical routes and some of the more modern authors like Dan Simmons shamelessly inserts real people in addition to their ideas like his Keats simulacra.

All in all, it's quite interesting to see where characters come from. Thrawn, for example, invokes quite a few Machiavellian traits (regardless of whether The Prince is a clever parody or not).

It's the generation clash, combined with the series' direction swerwing wildly, always leaving the old fans feeling like they're not catered to. It happened with the OT purists and now it's happening to the prequel fans.

But it's still not an utter disaster, like /swco/ would like me to believe.
Every SW film is a deeply flawed but ultimately highly enjoyable film. TFA is pretty much on par with the rest.

I don't think anyone's arguing that TFA was technically poorly made, they just think that JJ and co made very poor decisions with story, aesthetics and character that made the overall experience unenjoyable and not feel like a SW movie

>>92370535
Wait, really? TFA felt very Star Wars to me.

>>92370462
None of Star Wars movies are, but they were certainly better made than TFA. TFA felt no different than a Transformers movie.

>>92370453
That and TFA is just designed for a different audience than us. I would say a casual audience and I don't mean the Bayformers audience here. Just casual, in terms of people who aren't massive SW fans who autisically tear through all the media there is to consume, people who just wanted an entertaining space adventure movie with likable characters. There's nothing wrong with that and TFA certainly succeeds on that front.

That's the core of the TFA vs. Rogue One argument after all. Each sides would have you believe that the other is a complete dumpster fire, when both movies are more like two sides of the same coin.

>>92370592

Prequels are shit movies with god tier setting, but TFA era is bad and disappointing like the rest of the movie, so there is nothing redeemable about it.

>>92370635
>TFA era is bad and disappointing
Its not we saw much of the sequel era so far. Take the first movie of each trilogy on theor own and this critique can be applied to all of them. Taken separately, ANH is rather boring and TPM is plain silly. If you read, SW material published before the second movie of each trilogy was released, it can be very jarring in the way it clashes with overall feel of the time period in question. It's just part of the growing pains, I guess.

>>92370535
If anything, TFA felt too Star Wars. That's a general problem with anything Star Wars nowadays though -- it tries so hard to be itself that it forgets to be more. Here's hoping TLJ throws a wrench into everything by drawing more from his ideas rather than making some contemporary Star Wars.

>>92370575

We'll have to agree to disagree, TFA's dialogue, camerawork, comedy, and visuals such as the design of the new stormtroopers and Maz Kanata felt like a strange imitation of SW and not real SW to me.

The prequels are flawed, yes - but at the very least they attempted new things and created designs that have stayed with me all these years, without simply modifying something that existed beforehand: Maul, Naboo, Geonosis, Coruscant, Grevious, Battle Droids, the various Jedi designs, etc

TFA had good design that I liked, such as Kylo Ren, and that red background character, but everything else was simply a recoloured or tweaked (in a way that makes it uglier) version of something from the OT.

The dialogue in the PT was weak in places, and some of the romance stuff made me cringe, but it at least felt like something from the SW universe. The OT had a great blend of comedic, serious, dark, and light dialogue and moments that made it really flow and feel like a great adventure movie.

TFA had 'you got a boyfriend a cute boyfriend' and other wierd instances of dialogue that almost seemed improvised in how weak it was, such as the interaction between Fin, Han, and Phasma when they throw her down the trash shaft thing, and Hux's terrible speech. It was cringeworthy, and didn't fit in with the established eb and flow of SW performances.

>>92370518
Huh, that worked a lot better than I thought it would have
Disney doing a Star Wars themed musical when?

>>92370623
Not really personal opinion. I don't like Episode 1 or 2, and haven't watched them in over a decade but I remember the story pretty well even if they weren't great. TFA's story was just all over the place and the pacing was horrendous. It was more of the film shoving references and copied scenes from the OT all stitched together than an actual film.

>>92370689
I dunno, ANH already introduced some awesome designs like stormtoopers, vader, ships, death star and fun setting with evil dictatorship empire vs small rebels. TPM showed on big screen Coruscant and Naboo, introduced B1 and droideka which i love, and origin of Republic vs CIS war. Sequels just expanded on it.
But TFA didn't show anything fun. Everything was just worse version of Civil War. I dislike First Order Apple design, and it seems that it will be just Civil War II with powerfull empire and weak rebels. I hoped for at least some sexy new armor for new republic

>>92370689

>>92370739
The first half of your post is, I would say, the direct result of JJ sticking so close to the OT's template. Of course TFA would feel off to you when it draws from the source material so much. TFA has to essentially face the adaptation issue, while the PT was so removed from the original films that, for better or for worse, you had to accept them as their own thing.

From a purely technical, filmmaking perspective, TFA is a solid piece of blockbuster cinema. The comparisons to Transformers or even the MCU are way off target. TFA isn't an art movie and it's not ambitious, but it's a satisfactory work of entertainment craft. The dialogue is very up to date compared to previous SW films with their love of stage dialogue and delivery, but I suppose that's a matter of personal preference rather than objective quality. You'd find just as many people who prefer the more modern fast snappy dialogue of TFA as people who like RotS's theatricality.

>>92370815
Well, I make a point of marathoning Star Wars every May, so I have an opportunity to compare the films back to back. Episodes I and II are definatly worse.
Episode I had problems with pacing, as it started ff too quickly with Naboo invasion and then stopped for a while to fuck around on Tattoine. The pod race scene has always been a good opportunity to take a pee break and refill my coffee. The pace didnt pick up untill the main cast returned to Naboo.
Episode II was all over the place al well in the middle, constatly jumping between Anakin and Obi-Wan storylines.

I still love the fuck out of them, but I'll never believe, that they were better then TFA.

>>92370866
>From a purely technical, filmmaking perspective, TFA is a solid piece of blockbuster cinema.

>>92370846
Let's be fair. ANH's success is partially owed to the timing of release. If it would have been released five years later or earlier, nobody would remember it.

That's not "pacing" and there's literally nothing wrong with this. It's common to have more than one, sometimes several story lines happening at the same time and then come together in the end. It sounds like there's a problem with you, rather than the film.

>>92375783

>>92375783

I find it upsetting that you have that permanently on your skin

>>92375547
It's technically very good but not the best because the soundtrack can only really be appreciated within context of the scene itself.
Music highlights and enhances the emotions of a scene

RotS failed horribly on the emotional side of things. The only scene that worked emotionally is the Order 66 scene and that's entirely due to the music.

The best music in Star Wars is in ANH because it worked with the things to the best effect.
E.g. Twin sunset.

What's the deal with yellow lightsabers?

I love Star Wars to an autistic extent but I want to let you know I would never even consider getting a Star Wars tattoo. It's like holding a sign that says "I'm an underdeveloped manchild" wherever you go, but you can't even put the sign down because its etched into your skin forever.

it this what /swco/ like these days?

>>92376205

Not ashamed in the slightest, being a fan of something doesn't mean I have to get it permanently tattooed into my skin - that's just sad, and shows an unnecessary amount of devotion to a fictional universe designed for children.
Again, I reiterate, I love Star Wars - but getting a Star Wars tattoo is about as lame as it gets. No one will think it's cool outside of the SW community, and within the community it will only be a minority who think you've made a good decision. Find another way to show how much you love Star Wars. Choose something else to get inked onto your body permanently.

>>92376205
>getting a tattoo about a dead family member who greatly affected your life
Ok.
>getting a tattoo about your religion that has gotten you through some of the toughest moments of your life and led you to meeting your wife or best friend
Ok.
>getting a tattoo of a billion dollar movie franchise explicitly designed for children and teenagers, basically equal to getting a tattoo of Chester the Cheetos Cheetah or Mickey Mouse
Not ok.

>>92354556
I appreciate your Dr. Who reference.

>>92376498
This is how I feel about tattoos. I would only ever get a tattoo to commemorate someone that affected my life profoundly. I would never get a tattoo of a media franchise because there's always the chance I will stop liking that franchise in the future and be stuck with it engraved in my skin for the rest of my life.

>>92376410

I'm not saying it's for someone's approval, I'm saying consider the consequences. Everything you do in public life is subject to criticism from others, wether you like it or not - that's literally the way humans have evolved. Do what you want to do, get a very poorly thought out tattoo, but just consider that people are going to think you're a fucking loser if you do.
I really don't understand this 'don't care what other people think' ideology because it completely ignores how we form personalities, through criticism, understanding social norms, and the push and pull of cultural standards. If everyone just did what they wanted and didn't consider what people thought about it the world would be a completely different, and far worse, place.

Long story short don't get a shitty star wars tattoo

>>92376435
sex is overrated

>>92376498
youre saying, you never used your understanding of the Force as a guideline for decisions you make in life? Jesus Christ, are you even SW?

This anon speaks the truth

>>92376534
Yeah. Like imagine Star Wars turns into a bunch of extremely shitty video games made by EA and some equally shitty Agents of SHIELD type show and it's also revealed that George Lucas goes around orphanages stealing newborn babies to anally rape to death with lightsaber toys in his basement. Would you want a tattoo of that on your body?

>>92376534
I've been into SW for more then a decade. There's no chance I won be by this point, its a part of who I am. And SW did affcted my life profoundly. You say, it didnt for you?

>>92376588

If the TV show friends taught you how to be in a relationship better would you get a friends tattoo?

If captain crunch taught gave you the moral guideline to eat better cereal would you get a captain crunch tattoo?

Are you comparing, actual, real-life, religion to Star Wars?

Are you literally autistic?

>>92376646

His shitty tattoo had poisoned ink and it's impaired his ability to formulate coherent sentences

>>92376569
I didnt make a tattoo on my face, did I? And I dont walk around with my chest exposed, so no confrontation with societal rules here.
Those who know me enought, will understand the tattoo. And those who judge me havent been my friends to begin with.

Pleb.

>>92376640
I've been throught 2000's SW shaming and it didnt stop me being open about loving SW. Why should it change?

>>92376646
I've been into Star Wars my whole life. It has taught me very little about morality and philosophy because it's literally a bunch of video games and comic books. It also helps that I'm an adult so I read actual holy books and philosophy books to get that sort of insight instead of resorting to a children's media franchise. To a child Star Wars is their philosophy. To an adult things like the Holy Bible, Tao Te Ching, and the works of Aristotle are their philosophy. Not saying they don't occasionally overlap because Lucas was inspired by these works but you gain a lot more actual knowledge and insight if you study real philosophy and religion and you lose value in things like children's movies as you read more and more real world texts.

>>92376724

If your tattoo wasn't as shit you wouldn't have to justify it so much. Did you discuss this decision with anyone? Anyone at all? I find it hard to believe no one tried to talk you out of such a poor decision

>>92376724

His shitty tattoo induced AIDS is getting worse, words and sentences are becoming almost impossible to type

>>92376820
I'm not saying you shouldn't love Star Wars. It's a great franchise. But if it's one of the works that is at the very core of your belief system and morality then you're a complete pleb at life who needs to grow past 13 years old.

>>92376811

I would unironically prefer that tattoo than to have that other shitty Star Wars tattoo plastered on my body

>>92376820

So, hypothetically - if Lucas admitted he created SW for the specific purpose of molesting vulnerable children, and took no care in the story or world of SW - would you not distance yourself from the franchise?

they both start with a 'kor' sound and George knew that's enough to confuse low spark normies
