    LOL, it was your phrase dude. Also, there are two versions of the scene; Ben’s retelling, where Luke swung at him, and Luke’s retelling, where he didn’t. I think Luke’s version is probably more accurate, but even then he pulled out his weapon, ignited it, and nearly swung before hesitating. So let’s say, “Luke almost trying to kill Ben,” if you wanna be pedantic about your own words.

        This is regarding the post rather than this specific comment.

        You’ve constructed a thread nearly guaranteed to have uncivil arguments in the comments. Right or wrong in the details of your argument, you’ve invited yet another moshpit of negativity about Star Wars.

        If you don’t like the sequels, it seems obtuse to make a thread arguing with other people who also don’t like them, but are doing it “wrong”. If you do like the sequels, posting positively about them and letting your enjoyment change peoples’ minds is more constructive than trying to debate people into enjoying them.

        You are a very prolific poster on lemmy. Your posts get a lot of visibility, and therefore do contribute to setting a tone. If you like Star Wars, why make that tone negative?

        Food for thought.

          Ah yes. The meme that specifically is calling out false complaints and negativity within the community that is directed towards nothing is checks notes is actually negative itself.

          Like I said. Thanks for reminding me why I love Star Wars and avoid the fanbase of it like the absolute fucking plague.

            Like I said you’ve constructed a thread at people and designed to cause arguments. If you like the sequels, make a post about what you like and convince people by showing them what good you see, rather than telling them what they see is wrong.

            This isn’t a comment in the debate style where I’m going to go back and forth with you and snip out tidbits of your post to get the worst reading on them. I’m trying to talk, not debate. I’m not trying to “win” but cutting you down. I’m trying to convince you to contribute to making Star Wars threads about Star Wars rather than about fandom infighting.

            Chew on it a bit.
