I choose to watch the movies with a collegiate/adult mentality and a) draw parallels b) make inferences c) analyze characters d) look for political undertones.
You must be real fun at parties.
This is my last post on the matter, because honestly I'm just getting sick of reading your bullshit and we're clearly never going to agree.
Yes, I have a third-grade mentality because I don't view every movie with laser swords and spaceships and wise little green aliens through an analytical lens.
In fact, I don't know why anyone would view a film through an analytical lens unless it pertained to some form of academic project, or to reverse engineer a film for some kind of Hollywood production job.
Normal human beings, apparently you're not included in this, watch films to escape. To forget, pretend, fantasize, imagine - to get a break from reality. To leave their body and find immersion in a world where different things are possible, choices can be made because they are the right choices and not the logical ones, and where the constraints -
all constraints be they scientific, societal, what have you - do not apply. Where we can watch a story about good and evil in a galaxy far, far away unfold.
So, sure, if watching a movie for its intended purpose makes me a third grader. Fine. I'm a third grader. Congratulations, dude. You win. I'd rather be a third grader who enjoyed the movie with laser swords than stuck in a world where I have to have my brain set to "analyze" 24/7. That's what I do all day at college and it's tiring as shit. I just want to watch my movie with laser swords.
I'm sure you really blew everybody's nips off with your big brains in this topic, maybe you can figure out how to install custom maps now.
Edit: Also, not you or Onasi ever responded to the plain and simple fact that the first line in the movie straight up tells us, the audience, that the Empire is an "evil Galactic Empire" lol.
Also, pro-tip: don't tell people to not yews ad hominems in the same post where you begin by using an ad hominem.
