What a waste

Just came out of an argument matching your description of a dismissal 💀 drained

Instead of getting bogged down in bullshit, technicalities, intricacies, “did Han shoot first”.

I’ve found that trying to understand why someone liked something you hate is a far more rewarding task

I agree, I love phantom menace. It’s just so draining to see so many terrible takes out there.

Wouldn’t it be far more interesting to talk about the things we observed, the interesting things we picked up on, compare and contrast etc? Engage with the art on its own terms?

Boring is a “boring” criticism lol.

Fr tho idk why people get so angry at movies not interesting them. The normal thing to do is move on with your life bc… you’re not interested lol

I suppose the fact that Sidious wiped the floor with him, and the additional fact that Maul was an assassin (like Ventress), never an apprentice (like Dooku), has no bearing on the matter then.

This conversation no longer serves any purpose. Have a good life, and I mean that genuinely :)

I’d go one further and argue that there’s no such thing as an objectively bad movie, but I’m just a radical extremist like that 😉

Thematic parallels. This is literally the entire point I’ve been making this whole time. It’s why I made the video.

It’s like poetry. It rhymes.

If you can’t be bothered to engage with my thesis, then you are arguing in bad faith.

Tell me then why did Luke succeed where all the other Jedi failed? How did he get through to his father when the other Jedi had given up on him? And how do you explain the parallels between Luke and Qui Gon?

Included darksiders, not “The Sith” (TM).

Once again, nuance. Evil isn’t eradicated forever just because one ideology of evil is gone. Doesn’t mean balance isn’t resorted when one particularly evil ideology (the Sith, of which there are only ever two) is destroyed for good.

Literally not what he says, he says “you are a much wiser man than I am” which he is, in some ways.

I think the thing you are failing to grasp is nuance. Qui Gon is flawed, yes, but so are Obi Wan and Yoda and Luke. This does not mean that Qui Gon and Luke do not possess a quality they lack.

Just because he was right about the will of the force in a general sense doesn’t mean he was omniscient.

I feel like you are wilfully misinterpreting what I am saying.
November 11, 2025 at 12:53 AM
(Also what if the sequels are not what Lucas envisioned lol)
November 11, 2025 at 12:52 AM
What about the fact that qui Gon died bf he could master it (unlike Yoda who had 20 years)?

What about the fact that Luke literally rejects Yoda and Obi WAN’s advice and believes in Anakin (just like qui Gon did all those years ago) and this is the action that causes the destruction of the Sith?
November 11, 2025 at 12:52 AM
This scene sets up a conflict with only two possible scenarios. Either the Jedi Council are right or Qui Gon is right.

Given that Lucas has stated several times that Anakin IS the chosen one, and he DOES destroy the Sith, it ain’t looking good for the Jedi council, chief

On the screen, there are SEVERAL parallels between Luke in ROTJ and Qui Gon. Is this a coincidence?

What about the fact that qui Gon is the one who discovered the force ghost technique and had to teach it to Yoda AFTER HIS DEATH?

What about the fact that he is right that Anakin is the chosen one?
November 11, 2025 at 12:45 AM
He’s not an authority. He’s a primary source. In this video he is explaining what Lucas told him about his intentions with the Phantom Menace.
November 11, 2025 at 12:43 AM
I’m not saying the force can designate a person as an instrument of its will.

All force sensitive people, both Jedi and Sith, have the ability to listen to the force. This does not mean they all interpret it correctly. I am arguing that Qui Gon is the only one in TPM who interpreted correctly.
