there's a common belief that artists know how to make art. this is untrue. i've yet to meet a single artist who has any idea what they're doing

Why do the lightsaber fights suck so much now?

Three reasons.

For one, in the prequels they used bamboo sticks for the fight choreography, which were lighter and easier to wield. The blades could also detach meaning it was easy to make it look like a lightsaber was going through someone. Disney switched to using heavy LED props so that the sabers would glow, which are harder to swing and don't detach without ruining the light effect.

For two, the Prequels hired Nick Gillard for stunt choreography. The man knows his stuff. Disney didn't bring him back because he would have demanded actually decent pay.

For three, 20 years of discourse about the Prequels is filled with whinging assholes and "sword experts" whining that the lightsaber fights were too flashy.

I keep seeing content about indie cartoon tropes and stuff (“realistic dialogue” is a weirdly common phrase) and am I crazy or is there just … not enough indie cartoons to constitute tropes for the medium? Like I feel like it’s just dressed down TADC criticism

I take the majority of indie animation criticism with a grain of salt, because so much of it is so VERY parasocial.

Get one of these people talking long enough and it's clear they have some specific and petty beef with the creator. It's like how if you get one of my "critics" talking long enough, they will always circle back to the Steven Universe video.

The question always ends up being "What are you really upset about?"

As a people-pleaser myself, in our defense - since I know your main problem with people like us is our lack of willingness to honestly communicate problems - you are quite literally the only person I've ever known who hears someone say "Please stop doing this thing that hurts me" and says "Understood, it won't happen again." Like I always try to be upfront about my feelings with people the first couple of times that problems come up between us, but then I'm always met with either dismissal or one of those "well I guess I'm just the worst then, huh?!" speeches, so I end up just keeping things to myself because I know that it won't fix anything. I honestly wish more people were as willing to hear and respect boundaries as you are, so thank you for being someone who does :)

"well I guess I'm just the worst then, huh?!"

You need to stop caving to that kind of emotional blackmail. The proper response is "Yeah. Maybe try working on that."

Y'all have been asking me for advice for various things for years and the common problem is y'all roll over way too easily. People walk all over you because you let them.

Apparently when Hayden Christensen returned for Ahsoka, his Lightsaber training was so ingrained in him that he immediately resumed fighting like it was the Prequels. Only to be told to slow down.

Which fucking sucks because it would've been such a cool visual of Ahsoka being unable to match her Master's sheer tenacity.

And it would've pissed off a lot of sad people by showing how much better Anakin is then Vader.

Strangely enough it actually made the duels look worse, because Hayden is flourishing and moving like a fucking ninja, and then has to come to a jarring stop to let Rosario react.

And the fact of the matter is that everyone in Prequels had months of training under a very skilled stunt coordinator, and Disney doesn't want to spend the money to do the same thing. Especially when a lot of Star Wars fans still think lightsabers being battle axes where all the weight is at the tip is "better"

That's the fundamental problem: Disney has been leaning on all the bitchy, incorrect people who said the Prequel fights were "over-choreographed" which is to say they were choreographed at all.
