Lisse strolled into the Prancing Pony, glad for relief from the constant whining of her baby cousins. She'd stolen some coins from under Gran's nose, but she'd pay it back... eventually. Lisse ordered some ale and plopped down at a small table near a bubbly-looking girl her age standing with a freakishly tall fellow who looked like a Ranger, and I short blond man with a jaunty smile. Lisse stared so long the girl paused and gave Lisse an ominous grin that said: "You look like someone who's in need of some real fun!" "Oh, dear," Lisse muttered as the girl strolled over.

Blargh. Get. That. Image. Out of. My. Head.

I was so mad when it ended. I knew there wasn't a second one, and I would have tossed it across the room if it hadn't been from the library.

I don't feel like The Phantom Menace is worth re-watching.... ever. The conflict is based in a political battle no one understands or cares about, the acting is monotone, the scenes are tedious, and the dialogue is dull. Overall it's a boring, dry film that adds nothing to any of the trilogies (Dry, get it? Cause... Tatooine? Ha ha?) If I'm ever marathoning Star Wars, I'd start right of with Attack of the Clones, and go forward from there. A part of the movies I really do enjoy is Ewan McGregor's performance as Obi-Won. He and Anakin's relationship as sort of master-student but also as sibling rivals since they're closer in age than they should be makes for a nice break from sand, water, and Padme's ridiculous hairstyles.
-
That would be awesome on so many levels.
-
Ooh! Thank you!
-
Same with me. I understand a little more now how much effort goes into all movies, even really bad ones. It makes me appreciate good movies more, and all the little enjoyable bits in less-enjoyable films.

So... everyone's suddenly changed their names to Ookla. What... the 'frick is up with that? (If it contains spoilers for anything, someone just tell me what. Please. I'm so confused.)
-
I agree. As much as I love Star Wars, it has way too rabid a fanbase. The way they treated the poor actors of the prequels was disgusting. Jake Lloyd (the kid who played little Ani) is in a mental institution and the man who played Jar Jar nearly committed suicide. I don't love the prequels, but everyone has to understand that the actors were given so little dialogue and character to work with.
-
Phantom Menace was by far my least favorite, it honestly added nothing, and the scenes that should have been over in a heartbeat dragged... on. and. on. (I'm talking about the pod race. ) I think Attack of the Clones is worth watching, though only for a select few bits. I'm stopping myself right now from going into the fireplace scene, because I hate that with a passion as fiery as Anakin and Padme's love- oh, wait. Revenge of the Sith was my favorite. It has actual emotion, which is far more than I can say for any of the others. I just feel terrible for the actors, because apparently they were encouraged as much as possible to read straight from the script, and that dialogue... *visible shudder*
-
So, me and my brother just finished re-watching the Prequels in preparation for Rise of Skywalker, and I have a very different opinion than when I first watched them. Since the Star Wars fandom is sort of split down the middle right now, I'd like to know y'all's thoughts on them! (I can talk about these things for days.)

Sahar finally found the Nym, who waved her over. "Hey! You going to school?" Nym asked. "Eh... stupid math test." Sahar half smiled. " I personally think we should be learning how to, you know, do stuff useful, but I'm sure we'll use our extensive knowledge of the weather cycle often!" Nym laughed, maybe a little too hard. She sounded relieved Sahar wasn't giving her a death glare. "You have a cool accent, you know that?" Sahar lifted her chin a little. "Yes. Arabic. I was born in Egypt."
-
Sahar woke up to clatter coming from throughout the house. Ugh... why, school? she thought. She peeled herself off the couch she barely remembered collapsing onto... (she did the math) about four hours ago. She was going to kill Spool. Somehow. Where was that girl she'd pulled from the dust yesterday? Sahar thought she'd recognized her from school, in the younger grades.
-
Um... do I want to know... what? -
Sahar was utterly exhausted. She'd woken up at two in the morning last night because of a few over-boozed creeps across the street, and had been wandering around until Spool had led her into this mess. Sahar sighed, stood up, and nearly tipped over. "Fine. I'll crash somewhere tonight, and do... something... tomorrow." Sahar stumbled about for a bit, trying to avoid being seen, and collapsed onto a couch, dreaming about still being a kid in Egypt.

As little as I'll enjoy it, one of the bridgemen is probably going to die. I'm betting on either Rock or Sigzil.

@Aragorn Sahar didn't particularly want to get sucked into the Radiant's messes, but when you haven't eaten in 12 hours, you kind of have to accept any food that comes your way. "I... don't like this one." Spool hummed. "The spren... Honor..." "Spool, shut up." "Shut... up? I have nothing to shut." "It means be quiet." "Ah... your idioms are so... delightful!"
-
"So, uh... is there anything to eat around here?" Sahar asked. The last thing she'd eaten was a bit of old sushi she'd found in the depths of the mini fridge in the poor college guy's apartment she'd ransacked this morning. @Aragorn
-
"Uh... yeah. Cryptic. Her name's Spool." Sahar mumbled to Nym. "Um, I don't really need a place to stay..." "Mmm... Sahar. Friends!" Spool buzzed. "Though... not this friend. Mmm... Honorspren..." Sahar stared at Spool. "You know? Uh... sure." Sahar said, trying to smile. If Spool doesn't like Nym's spren, I'd like to find out why. She thought. @Aragorn
-
@Aragorn Sahar tried to smile at the girl, Nym, but it was mostly pained. Nym was the kind of girl who was too... quirky. "Yeah... hi. Uh... you might need a wash." Nym looked at Sahar strangely. "Um... yeah, 'k." Ugh, that was awkward. Sahar thought. "Spool, let's go." "Mmmm... perhaps... help?" "No, Spool."
-
Sahar had never been more overwhelmed in her life. Spool had been leading her into a voidbringer battle? And then she'd gone and rescued some random kid who'd gotten herself in too deep into all this, and from what Sahar had seen, was back to fighting a bunch of monsters. Now she and Spool were behind some rocks, watching as Radiants who cared enough to have said the Third Ideal stabbed and killed and screamed. Weren't Radiants supposed to be majestic? Quick-thinking and noble? Ingrid said once that anyone who announces their righteousness for the world to hear is hiding worse doings than much of what you can imagine. She'd been right, of course. But what could it hurt to stop some idiot girl who didn't know what she was doing from flying up into the sky and dying? Sahar ran out from the rock and yelled at the girl, "OI! You're gonna get yourself killed, you fool!" The girl turned around and stared at Sahar.

Welcome! What Sanderson have you read?

Hey all! I'm a Lightweaver of the who's only spoken the first Ideal, my name's Sahar, and my spren's is Spool. "Spool, why are we doing this?" Sahar asked. "Because... I feeeell..." Spool buzzed. Sahar huffed a little. From what she'd seen of the other's spren, they were supposed to actually get more intelligent, though perhaps she'd misjudged. It wasn't like she was going to intentionally talk to those goody-two-shoes fools. Sahar rounded a corner and stared. She saw several bleeding people, as well as ones bleeding... stormlight. They were all hiding from some huge dust clouds, from which screams were coming out of. "Spool..." She warned, "I'm going to turn around and walk away. Right now.". "Noo..." Spool made a groaning sound. "At least... you can... help. Yes, help. That's the word!" She sounded satisfied. Sahar huffed again, marched across the wounded, and into the dust cloud. Immediately, a girl Sahar's age stumbled up to her with both a gut wound, and a gash down one leg. She fell unconscious onto Sahar's feet. "Delightful." Sahar groaned, and pulled the girl back through the dust.

For Syl, I'd do Evanna Lynch (Purely because of looks), for Odium, Donald Sutherland might be good, mostly because he played a somewhat similar character in Hunger Games, and, come to think of it, Zac Efron could be a pretty good Moash.
-
I'm a little confused, though. Teft swore the Third Ideal, right? So does that make him on the same level as Kaladin?
