    Just about to star andor s2 and therefore have no clue what this is about but I would agree that sexual assault shouldn’t be in star wars. I’m not sure what Vader would or would t tolerate but andor does a good enough job already of showing the empire bad and going sexual about it doesn’t seem necessary. I’m making a large snack and then watching soon. Whether it would be condoned under the empire doesn’t mean it needs to be part of the story. Star wars is a people kiss and fall in love and sometimes have children but the sex aspect is strongly implied at best and that was only in the OT

      The ironic parallel here is that the Jedi repression of love is what led to Anakin turning to the dark side and their collapse. I think there’s a pretty strong message that acting all stoic and never letting anyone show any emotions or love is actually quite unhealthy. Jedi should be able to fuck, but we shouldn’t need to see it.

        Oh yeah, that. Leia didn’t deserve that and neither did Carrie Fischer. Especially cause it was part if a plan that doesn’t make any sense. All of return of the jedi is crap and frankly I’m not as hot on empire as most. It has serious serious pacing issues. The first 3rd is waaaaaay too fast. Luke is getting wampa’d within the first 3 minutes and then after the both battle it meandera big time where Luke does Dakota stuff and the falcon pdcks around. There is character stuff there but the plot takes a break for a while to do side quests for those moments instead of things that tie together for the Han and Leia and the Luke stuff is mostly fine but that Vader cave scene should have been cut or done different. Swap the worm cave with something a little more intense cause there is a bit too much breathing room in the middle and maybe do more chill time on cloud city. It’s super fast at the start and then slows down and then hits medium speed for a minute before gradually slowing off with a decent climax, which spends good but thr slow parts are slowwwww and the faster bits are really fast

        I really only fully enjoy the first movie and andor.
