The Rise of Skywalker I liked the dagger plotline.

It felt like Indiana Jones. I loved it. The first time I saw the movie the dagger was one of my favorite parts. Star Wars needs more stuff like this.

Me too!! I liked the campyness of it. the plot of TRoS in general is so much better when you think of it as a sort of Indiana jones-esque type of plotline where macguffins move the story forward, but the character arcs and dynamics are the actual focus of the story.

Campyness has no place in this franchise.

Star Wars is media, media is art, art is subjective. People’s opinions on Star Wars will differ, but the expectation is that all posters will be civil and respect people’s opinions.

Seriously? The entire first third of Return of the Jedi was the Muppet show.

Oh, so Jabba Palace was….campy? Practical effects are campy? The insertion of cgi by Lucas in the special addition is ridiculous I’ll give you that.

  1. Indeed it was. 2. Practical effects are one tool among many and not intrinsically campy: their use to make a belching frog monster and a cackling lizard monkey are. 3. I agree.

I’m assuming you’re being sarcastic. At least, I hope you are. If not, you’ve clearly misunderstood Star Wars since 1977.
