With 15-20 years worth of time, and another shitty trilogy of films in the books I must ask...

No they were fine. Star wars fans are just the most fickle nerds on the planet. If they would have just shut the hell up then we could have gotten sith lord jar jar

He did not follow to tone of Star wars. C-3PO wasn't slapstick at all. He was hysterical because it was intelligent and representive of the science fiction genre. Having a nigger alien is a waste of compelling screen time, and is there for kids to laugh at.

All star wars is and ever was was a pot of fanservice.
Han solo - Space cowboy/Bad boy
Obi Wan - Old mentor/Persecuted Knight
Yoda - That weird pedo wizard
Leia - Stronk princess obviously
Luke - The farm boy who finds the knight saves the princess and has secret powers that are op.
Darth vader - Evil wizard turns out to be good in the end
Palpatine - the real bad guy behind the curtain because darth vadar grows on you

I actually like them more now, but I like the overly detailed political stuff of the republic and the senate, so your mileage may vary.

Conn iggulden does a decent book series on rome.

the first two were aids, the third one is passable enough to be the fourth best star wars "episode" but that's not saying much.

Yeah that's metal as fuck. Fuck non-epic epic space operas

Noted. though I'm an ADHD spaz and have a hard time reading for long periods of time. hell I can't even binge watch TV my attention span is so bad. but if I get my shit together that's on the list now.

Can't tell if joking or not.
There's quite a few that would've been good for the screen but nothing will hit a demograph like star wars.
Plus the TOYS they can sell. That's why there's so much shit in star wars now. It's literally like ptcg or yugioh.

the opening is solid to the middle is a beat weak yea
