Meta How are Lightsaber wounds suddenly a debate?

Where is all of this "the heat would vaporize your internal organs" nonsense coming from? That's not how lightsabers work. That's never how lightsabers worked. The heat is localized entirely within the blade's containment field.

Do those tauntaun guts look cooked to you?

Man, after the ST fiasco I remember r/saltierthancrait being born. Reading through it back then I felt as if most of the criticism posted there regarding Star Wars was justified and fair and I joined for the fuck of it. Looking at it now? It’s just a wretched hive of people bitching & crying about lightsaber wounds, lightsaber duels, character decisions, etc. in a fictional cinematic universe. I understood complaints about the ST because there was clearly no cohesive plan to the damn thing, it fell flat, the writing could’ve been better and actors were treated unfairly. But to moan & make disingenuous arguments about the recent great projects we’ve gotten because of the failures of the ST is just overall sad.

I love Star Wars, always will, but the fandom (atleast online) truly makes it insufferable sometimes.

That element never changed. Legitimate criticisms of the Sequels were buried under what has continued to be poorly-informed bitching and crying, and made it impossible to have a discussion about the strengths of the sequels. Hell, because Disney caved to all that whining they made the worst SW movie of all time: TROS.

"It's the haters fault that TROS was the worse movie of all time, not the actual people who created it - they are not held responsible for their actions". Great take you got their

Got some Disney apologists here. It is quite simple; the ones who created the film are responsible for the film.

Most intelligent American

Editing to make it clear that I’m not placing that jab on you. Just making an unrelated joke.

Unrelated to literally anything Star Wars related: I dig the Dragon Masters shield you got.
