This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah. I didn't get the hate for the movies. It's Anakin when he was an angsty teenager. The neckbeards saw their own reflection and couldn't handle it. They reacted in the same way too.

You dont get the hate for the movies?

Poorly acted main character - yes child version and adult version, shit ass villian in 2 and partially 3, racist caricature of bojangles in 1 and 2, padme dies of "sadness", the "objectively good" jedi gamble a childs life, fucking star wipes for every damn scene change, poorly fleshed out bad guys in 1, stupid-ass midichlorians and these are just off the top of my head.

And lets not forget george lucas forgoing practical effects for cg that did not age well at all.

There are plenty of good reasons to not like the prequel trilogy and it isnt just "cUz InCeLS" lame ass shit.

You forgot Jarjar was actually a sith and Lucas pussied out due to fan backlash

Would have been a great reveal too.

I don't think Jarjar has a canon death. He could come back as an older, darker, more serious villain in Mandalorian or something. Grogu vs. Jarjar.

He should've been snoke or at least the one puppeting him, not the bullshit they pulled.
