i think the old trilogy owns the new SWs just because the old ones are classics

most people i talk to don't get the point of the new SWs, if you think just a little bit, you'll realize these movies are just showing how the empire comes into power, and i didn't realize this until the 4th time i watched episode 1. it was harder to catch in that one, but all he did was wanted to overthrough the one aliens and become senator (right there he gained power) then 2nd one he gets his army and everyone knows now what those shitty fighting stormtroopers look like and what boba fet looks like, unless this is something everyone knew, well just my insight, and i just like the part where he gets sniped, and it's not farfetched at all, specialy the scope shot, do you know how common it is? theres guys that just shot into a glare and turned out they hit someone right through scope (vietnam) and in WW2 the whole battle between russian sniper and german sniper (forgot russian name but everyone knows the german, Konig also seen in the movie enemy at the gate) well the russian just shot into a steel plate, which was something the germans hid behind alot during ww1 and ww2 i believe, i'm a fan of snipers, i'm a good marksman myself.

Tell me why you think that scene was farfetched too.

Jeeze, man, use the period key a little more! That whole thing is one HUGE sentence!

I'm sure shots like that were made in the war, but I can't see it being very commonplace. I would've liked the scene a lot more if he capped the german sniper in the neck or the forehead. It was just a little too "hollywood" to get him in the scope, through driving rain.

Its far fetched. In real life Vasili put a glove on a stick, Koenig shot it and gave away his position. Vasili then sighted up that position and fired killing Koenig. He did not simply shoot a steel plate for the chance that "he might be there". Thats the most assanine sniper tactic i've ever heard suggested. "1 shot 1 kill, well, maybe if someones there." Comical thinking.

The movie was way off base.

my fav is the greeen beraiyes
