@gyozilla: Regret is not something common to Dan unless it's somehow tied to Taco Bell, or rather the lack thereof.

"DARE was on one of my favorite subjects" ...subtly Dan strikes gold again.

hot take: Rogue One was a neat movie, I liked how it was a side story but still out things together in a fun/engaging way. It had problems, but not really more than Episode 7 (though different ones) I don't really remember CGI humans besides Leia which I guess did look odd but it didn't make me...angry. Maybe because it lasted like 11 seconds.

Oh and they were both way better than the prequels, which were not only bad but excessively boring.

I find this fascinating. My friend also didn't notice any of the CGI characters besides Leia for obvious reasons. But for the same reason it should be obvious, how anyone could think Grand Moff Tarkin was real and not the stuff of CG nightmares amazes me.

Good job, Alex!

So this obviously means that you can now begin the Shenmue 2 ER, right?

fake jedi guy is in Rogue One because og Star Wars starts off in a setting where jedi are wiped out and supposed to be this weird mythical magic thing / han not believing in the force / vader being shut down for being a weird kooky magic man.

but then the star wars writers or whatever it is you wanna call the Executive Round Table writers or whoever all decide and agree that you can't have a star wars movie without the force!

so you how do you have a movie set just before og Star Wars where jedis are all but wiped out, but still have a jedi? answer = fake jedi guy !

This is exactly why I have zero interest in any new Star Wars films. Disney and their board of overseers have no faith in the audience being ok with a movie in the same universe that doesn't feel comfortable.

I'd say this started well before Disney.

The Prequels and Expanded Universe, with a few exceptions, were all "HEY, REMEMBER WHEN!?"

From little kids with baby light sabers using the laser drone that Obi-Wan used to teach Luke on the Falcon to that story that takes place 125 years in the future that literally just has "WHAT IF EMPIRE WAS REBELS AND REBELS WERE EMPIRE?!" it's ALWAYS been incredibly derivative and, with the exception of something like X-Wing/TIE Fighter had zero experience in the audience to stay interested without The Force.

@hollitz: Agreed! The prequels actually seem a bit better when you look at what Disney is doing. At least the prequels were new, and added a lot of awesome stuff to the star wars universe. Not sure these new films tread any new ground. They simply repeat old ideas. The prequels were much, much different from the OT. Despite if people liked them or not, Lucas added a lot of great stuff to the world/ lore.

I am really sorry you guys were teased. I was kind of a bully as a kid. I feel horrible about it now. Grew out of it by high school (developed part of brain that contains empathy). If I think back I could probably work myself into tears over some of the things I said to my peers. I am thankful you guys managed to become the people you are today, in spite of the horrible shit dumb kids do. Thanks for all the great work.

@alex@vinny Just a heads up, this video is tagged as Mega Man V (Gameboy) instead of the 1992 NES game (linked below)

One year later and this video is still tagged as Mega Man V (Gameboy) instead of the 1992 NES game.
