“Knock the crap out of ‘em” - Il Trumpe, how many times during the campaign?

Dude, just stop. You clearly want to dislike TLJ no matter what. What was the difference between those two already-destroyed ships and the Raddus? The film shows that Holdo’s maneuver occurred while the First Order leadership was focused on the escape pods, and thought that whatever the Raddus was doing was a

Are you saying that this theft won’t have a Deep Impact on the museum’s finances? That it isn’t exactly Armageddon for them?

Yeah, that whole thing went way over your head.

Buck up, Bronco. You’ll have your chance.

The easiest answer to this “plot hole” is simple: hubris. The First Order, like the Empire before it, will always be its own worst enemy. It’s clearly articulated in the script that Hux & Snoke (1) understood that the Resistance fleet would lose fuel in the near future; and (2) believed they could just maintain a safe

The best link I can come up with is extremely attenuated: if salaries are dictated by league revenue, and if league revenue includes what teams charge for tickets (I do mean “if,” I have no idea if it does), and if the ever-increasing luxury of new (often taxpayer-funded) stadiums contributes to higher ticket

The problem with Heineken isn’t so much the taste (which isn’t great) as it is that you’re paying a premium for the brand.

You can’t possibly be this dumb, can you? The Star Wars films, like any sci-fi films based on planets other than Earth, have to create settings for the stories. That includes imagining those worlds’ flora and fauna. In other words, elements of world-building aren’t supposed to “drive the story forward.” They’re there

I guess you’ve never lived in those smaller cities and rural areas where the “regular licensed, vetted taxi service” = calling the dispatcher and waiting 30-45 minutes for a cab and/or being gouged because the public transportation options are virtually non-existent (especially late at night) and there’s only one or

Makes sense. I’m surprised that Disney was originally fine with giving Infinity War only three weekends of release before Solo.

The Maginot Line was an example of belatedly fighting the last war; calling for improving our space superiority abilities is an example of preparing to fight the next war. I’d say the latter is more sound.

You clearly think you’re winning this argument. You are not.

Amen. I’ve shit on Abrams’ Trek a whole bunch, but Beyond actually felt like a Trek movie to me. I know that plenty disagree with that, but those people seem to judge it against the shows which, to me, is a flawed comparison.

Btw - the 1701-A wasn’t a “refit.” It was a brand new ship from the keel up. The remains of 1701 were destroyed on Genesis/when Genesis went all to hell.

Now this is podracing.

I’m not doubting this photo’s authenticity but Pryce’s face looks photoshopped, somehow.

This joke is adrift, but salvageable.
