What was the audience reaction to Yoda entering a lightsaber duel for the first time in 2008?
Disgust
>>215196826Laughter mixed with disgust
i feel like i see this thread a lot.
>>215196826Sorry, meant to say 2002.
>>215196826Everybody laughed when he started to bounce around like a methhead.
>>215196826Giddy excitement in my theater.
People, including my retarded younger self, in the theater were hyped. Then we went home and actually thought about what we had watched and realized it was shit.
>>215196856>2008>2002Same thing
>>215196887Why is it shit? Did you think Yoda came out of the womb as a hobbled old man?
>>215196887I wouldnt go that far in negativity but the reaction was about the same. Everyone I knew who was a fan was hyped to finally see him fight. I thought it was a bad look that he slinked away like a bitch after the fight even if it made sense story wise.
>>215196950he's 900 years old, I didn't think he was middle aged 20 years earlier
It was a stupid fight that made very little sense given that Dooku still manages to escape, they should've have just had him roundly defeat Anakin and Obi-Wan and saved Yoda fighting for Episode III when there'd have been buildup for it.
Fun in the moment but later you thought it was stupid like the rest of the movie.
>>215196826i love his little scream when hes pissed "NNYYYAAAAHHH"
it's a fucking crime that people put the prequels in front of children before the movies and ruin shit like Yoda revealing himself as a little Buddha after pretending to be a monkey man
>is that a...Jedi??? Using a fucking lightsaber??! WTF?!?
>>215196826It could easily have gone horribly wrong but due to his masterful direction George managed to depict the sequence with grace and gravitas.
>>215197028RENT FREE
>>215197038Praise be to George!
>>215196826It was the only part of AOTC I liked when I was a kid. I disliked the rest of (romance was icky and Obi-Wan detective went over my head).I loved Phantom Menace though and would end up loving Revenge of the Sith as well. AOTC was the only one I disliked as a kid.
>>2151968871: you weren't born yet2: the people whoes opinions you're aping didn't feel that way until years later3: star wars was always gay
It was cool for like 2 seconds. Then he started flipping around and bouncing off walls
*Empire* was that last and best Star Wars movie. The fact that they can't let it go shows it makes money which further proves the world is full of children and children are retards.
>>215196826Combination of laughter, cheers, and groans.
They should have reduced it to like 2 really cool acrobatic moves and the rest of Yoda's attacks being augmented by his 2nd hand doing force type attacks like pushes and throwing items dooku. Yoda's great strength should have been his supreme command of force, like he's a wizard, counter to what we saw from sidious in return of the jedi, not some acrobatic little gremlin.
>>215196826mostly giggling and laughing
>implying this isn't kino
>>215196835Shrieks of joy and yells
>>215197809Its cinematic poetry.
>>215196826They set off fireworks during this scene at my local cinemaI'm from India, btw
>>215197833It waa awesome
>>215196826I was like 10 years old so I thought it was sick but my older brother said it was dumb, years later I realized it was in fact retarded.
>>215196826>effortlessly moves distant big rocks:l>moves his own 25kg body around the roomNOOOO HE CAN'T DO THAT!!
side point but it occurred to me recently that the whole super well choreographed lighstaber fights in the prequels where they're basically dancing sort of makes sense if you had force users who can predict each others' movements
>>215196826didn't watch that movie back thenYoda and Sidious fighting with lightsabers somewhat lessens their whole aesthetic from the OT. They should've been wizards fighting only with the force. But it's far from the worst thing from those movies.
>>215196826I wasn't there but I think they all clapped!
>>215196887This. This was how it went with all the prequels. You showed up and watched the bright, colorful spectacle. You were caught up in it initially.But later you realized there was no substance, nothing you really cared about, no memorable new characters, and a bunch of stupid stories.
>>215196826I felt like him and Sheev should've used more of the Force in their duel. They're two of the most skilled to ever exist, the building should've been coming down around them as they tried to force push one another.
Did the OT boomers want them to do a force kamehameha beam struggle battle instead or what?
>>215199509Most OT boomers like the prequels, prequel hate is almost exclusively an online phenomenon.
>>215196826I don’t know because I decided the prequels were dog shit when I saw phantom menace, so I didn’t see the other ones
>>215196826Cringeworthy, it looked absolutely stupid
What was the audience reaction to the Emperor entering a galactic dance off for the first time in 2012?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84YXPw4htnQ
>>215196826My theater thought it was awesome. As did all the other kids I talked to.
>>215199361I WAS THERE AND I CLAPPED! I STILL DO!
>>215196979This makes the prequeldrone suffer an error and shut down
>>215196826My theater was hyped and when I talked to my friends about it later, they thought it was cool at first. Then a few months passed and how dumb it was started sinking in, not to mention just how generally bad AotC was.
>>215199509No you dumbfuck we wanted him not to fight because it's not his role in the film.
It was cool and there was nothing wrong with it. He was obviously using the force to jump around.
>A small child late millennial: I LOVE JEDIS AND MAGIC POWERS AND FROG GUY JUMPING AROUND AND ROBOTS AND ALIENS AND PODRACING>jaded, alcoholic early millennial: No you stupid kid, how dare you enjoy dumb fantasy in this dumb fantasy franchise that's a shameless rip-off of old samurai movies made by a literal retard?
It was a mixture of laughter. Some laughter was out of disbelief and disgust at how fucking bad the movie was, and others laughed and clapped their hands like seals because their low iq brains were amused and pleased by the images in front of them.The prequels were a genuine landmark moment in western culture. It created a gigantic fissure which continues to snake its way through society today. Some people thought the movies were fucking retarded, while others enjoyed them. This led to a huge uptake of people viewing their fellow citizens as livestock and NPC cattle, which in turn shook their entire viewpoint of society itself. This shift in social outlook fueled the conspiracy theory community which began to view history as a series of events which were conducted by stupid peasants being puppeteered by soulless elites.At this point today the conspiracy theory vein in culture factors heavily into federal politics, with conspiracies like Epstein and ZOG dominating the entire political discourse at times. A massive shift in western politics is mounting, a prolonged period of schizophrenic reclusiveness is destined for the west, amidst the ascendancy of the far east. This is how western civilization more or less dies. Cradling its knees and rocking back and forth, muttering in the dark, unable to trust its own shadow.And that moment traces its lineage to Yoda crackin a lightsaber.
>>215196826Hype.
>>215196826An awful scene.
>>215196826Laughter and applause. It subverted expectations. No one ever expected to Yoda wield a lightsaber let alone be a tweaked out ultra lightsaber god. It also showed us why Yoda is so respected in universe. He's a true force master. >2008It was 2002 and you know it.
