[SOILERS] Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Thread

when I think about it, I have never cared for Star Wars that much, even the original 3. Obviously there have been a lot of decent Star Wars branded products like the N64 game, x wing tie fighter, and some of my old action figures, but if I'm being honest with myself I give zero fucks about the lore, could not give less of a fuck about any of the characters since the writers behind them are complete hacks (I kinda like yoda), and I consider the movies all pretty boring.

Possibly the only reason I even saw Star Wars as a kid in the first place was the theatrical re-release barrage in the 90s before Phantom Menace. And even then I'd say it made much less of an impact on my childhood than silly popcorn monster movie Jurassic Park, which somehow still manages to feel more like cerebral hard sci fi than the Force universe.

The whole franchise is a case study on how to use the power of Jewry to funnel all of childrens' interest in hard science, space travel, and scifi into an idiotic and hamfistedly political soap opera about race mixing where everything sciency might as well be powered by magic.

It's just not a very interesting setting. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of interesting things that happen but none of it really matters, planets and star systems blow up and then become forgotten. There's always an evil empire in one form or another and when it's defeated by heros another one replaces it in a few decades. That's 40,000 years of star wars history in a nutshell.
