Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

That's not an opinion, that's fact.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

So many people call it A New Hope.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 18 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Because that's the title of all subsequent altered versions of the movie.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -3 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

And in my unpopular opinion, that's not the title.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 7 points 16 hours ago

As someone who watched it as a kid when it first came out, you're correct that the title of the first movie was "Star Wars". Also neither of the next two movie had "Episode" in their titles originally. However adding the extra in later helps when discussing the timeline with someone who hasn't grown up with the franchise. Title changes are the least of the remastered problems with these movies, and I think came from the same era of Lucas thinking he could CGI everything and make it better.

Seems like I'm in the right community in that case.

unpopular opinions are too easy

if people agree they upvote, if not that means that it's an unpopular opinion and they upvote (generally)

Unpopular Opinion: Murder is the coolest!

I don't understand why you're in c/unpopularopinion.

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 5 points 17 hours ago

Depends on when you watched it, I guess. Initially it was Star Wars, but he NEEDED us to know it was not the beginning of the story. I still call it Star Wars

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

I just want an adult Star Wars for adults. Like get Lars Von Trier to do a miniseries.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 13 points 16 hours ago

Andor was like this. The Imperials in the series feel genuinely threatening because they're not delusional buffoons, they're competent and have distinct goals.

I doubt Disney will produce a lot more content like Andor - it's a bit dark, and frankly won't sell a lot of merch to families.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I felt like Andor approached that.

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Interesting, a couple of you are saying that - I'll give it a try.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

I always thought Tarantino would have been great for Star Wars. He is such a movie nerd, I feel like he would get it.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Tarantino almost made a Star Trek movie. And it was supposedly going to be a remake of Yesterday's Enterprise. I still don't know what to think about that.

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

I'd totally be up for that too
