/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

Jar jar's clumsiness could have been explained by a Jedi equivalent to drunk kung fu. His clumsiness always worked out in the end.
Yeah, he was a highly competent kind of clumsy, other than that scene I mentioned above. Which calls into question why he was kicked out of his hometown for clumsiness (assuming he was honest with that answer).
A lightsaber duel between Jar Jar and Yoda would have been pretty cool to watch, likely much better than the brief one with Dooku. It would have been more like the fights in Clone Wars, just with a more realistic style. The duel that made it into that movie was just disappointing, Yoda just shows that he can be a lot more nimble and mobile than he seems and then Dooku decides to do something else and Yoda just allows it instead of keeping the attack pressed so he didn't have a chance to drop the ceiling on the unconscious Jedi. They should have at least had him do that more suddenly rather than stop to announce he's decided the duel was a draw. But I digress.
Whatever the original plan was for Jar Jar, I resent the "fans" that had such a strongly negative emotional reaction to the character, as well as the ones that bullied the kid who played Anakin. Same with the ones who reacted like that to the actor that played Rose. Sure, I didn't like her character very much either but it's not the actor's fault, it's the writing and directing. Plus it's just a story, you can critique the art but making it personal with those who created it is just insane.
