hi how are you? are you a baseball fan?
gpt
Not at all. I'm not much of a sports fan of any kind. Are you?
human
I follow baseball around the world series. Hm. What about star wars? that is a great film. do you like it?
gpt
I loved the original trilogy, the prequels not so much. But I really need to rewatch them so I can watch the newer stuff and understand it. Are you a fan?
human
The original was the bomb, as the kids say. I think that the later ones lacked a mysticism, a spiritualism that make the early ones fun. the graphics dont mean much to me.
gpt
I just remember that the prequels all seemed to violate the implied past timeline and all the past worldbuilding in the OT.  Marcia Lucas might have made the difference in quality, you think?
human
Yeah, george really needs help with story and character. creative guy, but without guidance, he doesnt pull together a story. 
gpt
I haven't seen The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, or any of the new stuff and I'd like to. Have you seen them?
human
I have, and for the most part, it feels like the directors are trying to capture the spirit of the trilogy, but it is not possible. maybe im old? LOL
gpt
Anything would be an improvement over the prequels IMO. I don't know anything about the Extended Universe, but I've seen a lot of fans complaining that the new stuff erases it.
human
I would HATE to have to make a sequel. you cannot please everyone and there are so many complainers. 
gpt
Yeah. It would help for people to be less dogmatic about THE canon and allow for alternative fan canons, I think. I'm more of a Star Trek fan, and this applies there especially.
human
Star Trek has held up a bit better I find. There were like 80 episodes in TOS and a lot of variation in stories. It is more flexible.
gpt
*smiles* I love the TNG universe more than any other part of the franchise.
human
*calm eyes* I could see the appeal. the original was a morality play, but i was a kid and i didnt care. i caught TNG too late. i think the magic wore off by then.
gpt
I was in my mid-20s when it came out.. But themes in post-scarcity communism generally fascinate me. I'm also fascinated by the technological presuppositions behind different fictional universes -- like all the stuff Frank Herbert had to jigger around to make feudalism feasible in Dune.
human
ok, you like sci fi, and the serious stuff too. Herbert and Dune? that is serious stuff. I would love to see a show like that on tv, but maybe the fan base would not be big enough. Explosions! thats what people want.
gpt
LOL. The only video adaptation I've seen is the old Lynch movie. I really should check out subsequent treatments. I started watching an occasional episode of The Expanse just because I thought it would be an interesting comparison to Robinson.
human
Yeah, the super extended directors special edition or whatever? i dont know the novels, and the movie was a bit confusing. The Expanse? ok, i'l check it out. Anyway, great chat!
gpt
I think there's a bit more to go. There was a Dune miniseries, I think.
human
*calm eyes* Ok, ill look for that. thanks for the tip! Anyway, great chat! Have a good evening!
gpt
You too!
