"Why the Empire Strikes Back Is Overrated"

[Twiggly the Gnome]

Nothing but love for the Ewoks.

Yub nub, mofo!

Nope. My favorite as a kid was Star Wars.

Fair enough. I never jumped on the Ewok hate bandwagon. I don't care if Jedi is someones favorite.

Hot take is AotC is best SW movie. Sure there's probably someone somewhere who thinks that but I've only encountered them online.

I never understood why everyone hates Ewoks, though I'm probably biased as I grew up as a kid with them, so I probably just liked that they were cute.
I agree that they aren't logical in their tactics, but then again, neither are the storm troopers. (Why would you design vehicles with legs?!?!)

First film (EP 4), the good guys won.

Second film (EP 5), the bad guys won.

Third film (EP 6), the good guys win.

That is the pattern of Star Wars.

This isn't just the pattern of Star Wars, it's the general pattern of trilogies.

Rough terrain. In one of the books they put spider legs on an AT-AT. AT-MT the M was for mountain.

The Jedi are Uber rare though in the star wars galaxy and somewhat secretive.

People knew they exist but they're rarer than US. Navy seals in the real world.


We see more onscreen than the average galactic citizen.

That's more of a prequel problem though.

I like how The Mandalorian reinforces this with its conversation between Mando and the Armorer about the Child's abilites.

Overall I think Filnoi actually cares about continuity and consistency.

Legs are never better than caterpillar tracks or wheels. They have hover vehicles to completely avoid the above options! They can be knocked over to kill everyone inside and destroy the vehicle.

It doesn't matter if terrain is rough if they can ignore the ground.

I suspect it's the rule of cool. In universe repulsor lift vehicles might cost more idk.

Speeder bikes not so good on Endor.

 

[Levistus's_Leviathan]

Speederbikes aren't good on Endor, but that's because they were stupidly speeding through the trees at full speed, crashing into trees a ton. If they slowed down, it would be a good option.

Not impressed by the article.

Empire is still my top SW movie after all these years. It gave the saga the dramatic weight and depth it need.
