Now you really make me wanna watch this movie, guys. I just can't adjudicate its merits and mediate peace between y'all without actually seeing it! I'm still not sure if Rey is a Mary Sue. You may dislike her and say she's overpowered, but it's not really sufficient for the venerable archetype! Maybe... Star Wars just sucks? Maybe it always sucked Story wise, pretty much yes. I think the difference was that Lucas cared about worldbuilding, even too much, while the current creators just don't. Also, Lucas had less material to autoplagiarize, even though he did get on it in Ep 6. I believe these two points helped the Lucas trilogies not to break suspension of disbelief for so many people.

I find the fact that you're all still going on about this silly. Its been 18 pages and is basically a circlejerk right now. This forum desperately needs a mute function for its notifications.
The only thing that has more replies in this section is the Age of Sigmar review (a game which has just gotten better with time and, frankly, is probably better than the original game itself by now). That is 299 replies to the 256ish of this.

CanuoveaWhat kind of notifications are you receiving that are so disruptive? Maybe I can lend technical help? I mean, these forums have a lot of topics that are of no interest to me, but I never had this problem. Besides having to dismiss entries for things like Weapons and Armor Discussions in the RSS feed. But maybe I should instead post there to tell them to shut up about their stupid knives and rifles. I dunno.

I participated in the thread so whenever I come here I get a notification in that "Participated" thingy.

Oh, right. I never found that widget before. I don't think threads can be removed from this list. But you can disable notifications for participated, and use bookmarks to receive notifications only for threads you care about. It's what I do. This way, if Hark writes a post in the RPG and attacks my character, I get an email and can get up and defend myself. Even if it's 3 in the morning. It usually is.

I blame wordweaver, he started it again! I'd stopped talking about it and he came on and talked some more!
In fairness, we were bashing Terminator Genisys again lately.
Not everything on the forum will appeal to everyone (the guns section being a good example from StyxD.)
I dont get notifications unless someone quotes me. I just go looking for what topics have had new things posted like the old fossil dinosaur I am.

I'd talk about Solo instead but no one saw it.
I mean globally, no one went to see that piece of shit. It lost over 80 million dollars!

The one good thing that came from Solo was it gave me enthusiasm to continue writing my spacefaring pansexual novel.

I've heard of lot of stories of people laughing out loud in the cinemas when that robot gets killed.
