This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Dead horses beware!

Nothing disgruntles fans haven't said, but it's another thing to hear it from people who worked in the industry, especially the woman considered by many to be the person who "saved" Star Wars in the editing room.

The only people who think Marcia Lucas and the other editors "saved" Star Wars are those who are dumb enough to take a moronic YouTube channel posing as a film school (like PragerU, but  for film geeks) seriously. Nerdonymous debunks the bullshit pretty thoroughly (especially at the 1:40:58 mark):

Jesus Fucking Christ, is this guy honestly that goddamned stupid? He can't understand the plot of a Star Wars film? We're not talking about "Rashomon" here, for fuck's sake. The plot is as linear as they come. If anything, the film tries too hard to fill in all the gaps. This guy must be a flaming retard.  --Mike Wong on Red Letter Moron's review of The Phantom Menace
