I wonder how GL feels about this??
I guess it doesn't really matter; he sold the rights away.
Besides, he COULD HAVE, at any point after ROTJ, done something with SW but chose NOT to...

What then when there a people who don't like the film after release and want to talk about it, should it be locked again?
We shouldn't be allowed to mention how much we dislike TLJ even though this film is a sequel to it. Now people who think it looks like ROTJ can't mention that either. I guess unless you are going to jerk off over everything Star Wars you should just stay out of the threads.

As much as I’ve been disappointed by this trilogy thus far, I would never wish that George still had control.

I wish Lucas was in control but with someone keeping him in check. Thing is too that likely would have been the case had he not sold the rights as I doubt he’d have directed any of the sequels. As much as I bash him Lucas is a good idea guy and I’d have rather seen his story told to close out the saga instead of the retreaded, half baked trilogy we’ve gotten.

This feels like Revisionist History. Nobody here was all that upset about TFA when it came out, except that it felt a little note-for-note remake of ANH. In fact in the Sci Fi Sheep game, TFA was the run away winner of Best Sci Fi Movie of the past 25 years Now the new trilogy is a huge disappointment with the third movie not even been seen or reviewed? I don't buy it

The idea was freaking terrible. And I'm not so sure George is such a great idea man at this point. Not to rehash this yet again, but a lot of his ideas for the prequels were awful. He took the Jedi, the coolest things around, and turned them into celibate space priests who didn't have the guts to free slaves on Tatooine (they left Shmi Skywalker and the others behind to rot) and had the Emperor hiding under their noses for decades.

At least he tried having some new ideas whether or not they were successful. The new films haven’t brought anything different to the table aside from characters, while shitting on legacy characters.

Here's a theory on "evil" C-3PO red eyes scene. Seems legit.

This Wild 'Star Wars' Fan Theory Says 'Dark Threepio' Signals a Big Return in 'Rise of Skywalker'
https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/wild...183100773.html
The Reddit user is predicting that Anakin Skywalker placed a message inside C-3PO in the same way that Leia did with R2-D2—and there might be something to this. J.J. Abrams has made it clear that he wants to pay homage to the original trilogy (and prequel trilogy) in his big finale for the series. Having the final film relay a message via a droid–but from the Dark Side of the force this time–would certainly mirror nicely with the beginning of the franchise. The theory continues:I even believe when Vader said “it is too late for ME, my son” he was speaking a very deeper meaning...Warning Kylo and Rey of the Emperors lies. Not to make the same mistake. Then circling right back to where Kylo was talking to Vader’s helmet. About “finishing what he started”. Which was to bring balance/be the chosen one. 3PO - the message is the melt your mind scene!What if this theory is true? Considering the context here it's really not too far of a leap. C-3PO could carry extremely important information from Anakin Skywalker. And something could activate the message, turning his eyes red, allowing Vader's voice to speak through the droid—like telling Rey or Kylo how to defeat Emperor Palpatine. Who knows, "Dark Threepio" could be the key to finally killing off the Sith and bringing balance to the force once and for all.

While kind of a cool idea in theory not really sure when Anakin/Vader would have had the chance to implant a message in 3PO. Yeah, he built him, but as a child long before he knew his fate. Not sure when else it would have happened other than perhaps on Bespin (the only time they really come close with each other outside of the prequels).

Sheep answers are not necessarily 'correct' answers. Without looking I'd wager good money that TFA isn't even the best scifi movie of the year it was released.

If it wasn't for the Mrs., I would have walked out of the theater.
A cynical money-grab if ever there was one.

I dunno, that would have been when he was pretty much fully manipulated under Palpatine’s control. Seems a bit weird if that would be the case. By Bespin that was more when he was thinking he and Luke could team up to overthrow Palpatine.

This... Vader had a lot on his plate and planting a message in 3PO at Bespin or before Mustafar seems like a stretch (not downplaying the idea because they are literally the only options we're aware of). So given how difficult it would be to fathom this happening, I'm sure it will.

It’s a moot point to bitch about until this movie comes out.
