Yoda taught the younglings before they were assigned to a master.

And Qui-Gon is dead. Yoda is not.

I understand all of that but can't a dead Jedi still get some credit?

You're loving Star Wars wrong. But it's ok. That's how you love it it's ok.


I'm not loving anything wrong. Just presenting facts and not drinking the Kool Aid.



You're dragging George's sketches of ideas into canon. That's a whole different thing. They aren't canon.


I never said they were. Old Ben Kenobi did. Then Vader turned him into a liar.

I'm not disputing what's canon and what's not. Vader is Luke's father. No denial here. But to suggest them being separate beings as a "sketch of an idea" is ludicrous and incredibly naive. Especially, when Ben's line from the first movie is taken into consideration.

You really need to read the books I've recommended before arguing that it was all some divine plan he adhered to from start to finish.

Who cares, it made for a better movie/trilogy/franchise.

"you really need to read the books," in any context, is the dumbest argument ever when we're talking about movies

Maybe. I just like to read about what happens behind the scenes. Dime seems like a dude that would like that, too. Thought he might like to read them. What's wrong with that?

After Rogue One i decided to watch a new hope to see how they mashed together..and yesterday i felt like going for this one.

Man, such a beautiful movie. Every frame is gorgeous. The designs are amazing, every main character has an interesting arc, Vader is such a badass figure here..Luke, Han....this is a masterpiece in its own right.

Fanboism aside, it is consistently counted amongst the greatest films ever made for very good reasons. Those you mentioned and a great many more.

It's got absolutely everything.
