My little Star Wars heart is so happy!

My daughter especially insists how good Guardians is and that I should try it again - Iāve always been a SciFi, guy, but when watching GotG I thought they just packed too much extraneous stuff in scenes and I had to bail out too.
I like individual aspects of the movie and the humor, but it was just too overloaded for me.
Guess one day Iāll give it another shot too.

Does this meme make sense yet @OBNurseNH? 
I do love this meme. It makes me laugh.
I appreciated the scene at the end of Mando season 1 with the nasty grogu punching stormtroopers on the outskirts of town.

That part I know.
I have no idea what it means, but DH has a shirt with Han on it that says that.
I āknowā a lot of stuff that I have no idea what it means.

Probably the most controversial 90s revision was altering the scene with Greedo so that Han no longer shoots first.
My āI shoot firstā T has Malcolm Reynolds on it.

Controversial for multiple reasons, including:
- It changes the fact that Han shot first originally, which reveals his character to have a bit of ruthlessness to it, but also willing to protect himself, regardless.
- Even if you donāt accept the fact that Han WOULD shoot first, to have Greedo shoot and miss is entirely NOT in character with a bounty hunter. A bounty hunter wouldnāt miss, particularly at point blank range.
- Even if you accept that Han wouldnāt shoot first, and that Greedo would miss (likely intentionally so), in a way it makes Han more ruthless, because it means that KNOWING Greedo is merely firing a āwarning shotā, Han kills him anyway.
All of this is avoided if Lucas had kept it as it should have been, where Han shot first!

I like how it set-up the difference between Han and Luke.
After all, weāve just seen Luke totally misread the cantinaās customers and underappreciate the salutary value of impromptu amputation.

Oh wait.
I do know what this means! I just watched that part
(note: add Greedo to list of characters).
Took me a minute.
I donāt think Greedo shot at all in what I watched last night. He was a gonner before he knew what hit him.
Should I back up a little? Re watch that?

This thread is amazing. I havenāt seen any of the movies either. All of my knowledge of SW comes from the books that Iāve read my kids. I could still appreciate GE with that limited knowledge. I still knew who the characters were etc.
Well if weāre getting into detailsā¦
My least favourite alteration is ghost Hayden Christensen.
I know there are many opinions on watch order, but my personal preference with any franchise is to watch them in cinematic release order.
The changes are very annoying if you watch them in that order because suddenly from out of nowhere young Vader appears. Why does his ghost go young, but Obi Wan doesnāt?? If we get ghost Hayden Christensen then we should get ghost Ewen McGregor. If we still have ghost Alec Guinness then we should get ghost dying Vader actor whose name I donāt know.

Yes. Totally agree. This change was definitely an odd decision to make, just from a logic perspective.

Good for you to finally join the rest of the civilized Star Wars loving world! 
Iāll add a little detail Iāve mentioned before on this forum. When youāre watching Return of the Jedi, realize that the Ewoks have killed and probably eaten people before (which is what they were planning to do again). This is why they had clothes for Leia to wear. Cute and cuddly? I think not!

I donāt think you need to re watch it.
Sounds like you saw the original sequence.
I am totally with everyone on the Han shot first thing, but devils advocate for a moment on the force ghost issueā¦
Obi Wan said in RotJ that from a certain perspective what he told Luke about his father was true (that Vader killed Anikan), so using that same logic, the Jedi Knight Anikan Skywalker would come back as a force ghost and look the same as when he ādiedā.
I hope I didnāt need to put a spoiler alert on there for @OBNurseNH

Iāve watched all the movies and I have no idea what most of you are taking about.
@ryan1 I 
MCU but GOTG are harder for me to watch. The DLR ride is the best though.

Trouble with this logic is that there was still good in him. And Luke was able to save Anakin. Meaning, Anakin had never died, as Obi-Wan had presumedā¦

The ghost could be the last time he was a Jedi though regardless of dying or not dying though I think.

Keeping this in spoiler modeā¦
In the prequels, Qui-Gon Jin was taught how to live beyond the grave from his master (who presumably taught Obi-Wan), and Palpatine also was teaching Anakin the same thing as a Sith. Which means the ability to live on was not something related to Jedis specifically, but something related to the use of the Force. In either case, in the final moments that Darth was alive, he was presumably back to being Anakin. Not sure how he would have not been a Jedi at that point again?

Yes, this really bothered me and didnāt make any sense.
David Prowse is his name and he just died last year.
