We live in a more interconnected world than our parents did, and yet we still manage to think of what we encountered at an impressionable age as the “correct” version of things. The power of the nostalgia goggles cannot be underestimated.

Despite the fact that you may never have heard the word slicer in a Star Wars movie, they have a long and important history in that universe.

Or sixty years of administration from both parties kicking this particular can down the road.

Are story subjects assigned, or is it all assembled from what individual contributors decide to write about?

If we don’t use it, then the 12-year-olds have won.

The Lucas quote has that familiar ring of “didn’t think it through, figured no one would notice, hurried retcon” that got us the explanation of the Kessel Run.

I’d settle for just having a Terminator movie where there’s no hero terminator. T2 laid that albatross around the franchise’s neeck, and, as the fan favorite, all attempts since have striven to replicate it, and it’s just terrible.

For consideration in the winners category: Steven Universe’s “Lars of the Stars” teaser.

During the panel, Sonequa Martin-Green revealed that her character, First Officer Michael Burnham, is actually the adoptive daughter of Sarek and Amanda—that’s right, Spock’s parents.

I don’t think “pulling punches” means what you think it means.

Given the fragility of starfighter hulls to incoming fire we’ve seen, maybe just make the whole thing transparent.

Missing from this list: the photos of Shelby Rabara (Peridot) doing the dance work for Pearl in “Mr. Greg.”

SO SAY WE ALL

it’s not too late for us to stand up as a nation and stop giving money to people making live-action remakes of animated properties.

I’d like to see the stories move forward, not back. Additionally, my favorite parts of the Star Wars franchise have been the non-lightsaber parts.

If they’re standing in the same room, they’ve basically matched the chemistry of Bruce and Milla.

What this is telling me is that we’re getting Fifth Element II: Electric Boogaloo, and I’m super okay with that.
