"We've almost got some of their telecommunications cracked; the front end even runs on a laptop!" The Mac that sunk a thousand ships could have been merely clunky product placement, not a bafflingly stupid tech-on-film moment.

"Senator Amidala is in a coma. Even if she recovers, she will never be the same and may not live long." But no.... George had to have his god-damned funeral scene, even if it demanded Simone Biles levels of mental gymnastics to save Carrie Fisher's most emotionally resonant moment from ROTJ, as well as one of the more intriguing OT lore dumps.

Bonus points if a scene was scripted or filmed and got cut.

Did you just win the thread? I think you just won the thread.

Your comment's weird, but not downvote level weird? Certainly not more downvotes than upvotes level weird... are people reading this comment in different ways?

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Ha! How about that. I didn't even know my dumb joke was getting downvotes. Either we've got some people who really prefer other responses, or we found the last bastion of late-season GoT fans on the internet.

It's a bit Reddit-y, that's probably why.

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn’t think about it too much. People downvote for the strangest reasons. Also OP doesn’t care and didn’t even notice. Which is the best take on votes I think.

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

I was just pointing out an extra oddity tbh. I dont particularly care myself as well

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

It's probably just a "this comment could have been an upvote" situation.
