Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

That's not an opinion, that's fact.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

So many people call it A New Hope.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 25 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Because that's the title of all subsequent altered versions of the movie.

Depends on when you watched it, I guess. Initially it was Star Wars, but he NEEDED us to know it was not the beginning of the story. I still call it Star Wars

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

I just want an adult Star Wars for adults. Like get Lars Von Trier to do a miniseries.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 15 points 4 weeks ago

Andor was like this. The Imperials in the series feel genuinely threatening because they're not delusional buffoons, they're competent and have distinct goals.

I doubt Disney will produce a lot more content like Andor - it's a bit dark, and frankly won't sell a lot of merch to families.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I felt like Andor approached that.

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Interesting, a couple of you are saying that - I'll give it a try.

[–] not_woody_shaw@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

I am also saying it. Andor is a gritty spy drama for the grownups the original star wars fans grew up to be.

I always thought Tarantino would have been great for Star Wars. He is such a movie nerd, I feel like he would get it.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Tarantino almost made a Star Trek movie. And it was supposedly going to be a remake of Yesterday's Enterprise. I still don't know what to think about that.

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

I'd totally be up for that too
