I do love that Thrawn knew where the Rebel base was because he once saw a painting that showed a planet there. That's classic Thrawn bullshit.

The Sith holocron blew up. There were pieces of it all through the last episode.

It wasn't blowing up the Interdictor that let Ezra get away, it was pulling it out of position.

Obi Wan didn't have time for the long version, and didn't want to disappoint a dying man. Don't read too much into it.

They realized all her room graffiti was done in that explosive paint and nobody wants to risk sleeping in there.

I'm hoping for the Alliance to get pasted in the finale. The Battle of Scariff was their first victory, after all, and that's still a few years off.

Why would the Ghost, alone of all the other ships in R1, be sticking around Yavin? Only the fighter squadrons are based there. The rest were only there for the meeting, Ghost included. They jumped back to Lothal or something after Scariff.

"None of this stuff damages the story - though it makes Yoda look extremely passive"

I dunno that either of them will die. I feel like they're just going to pull a Luke and say "We're endangering the mission" by being in the Rebellion and thus drawing Sith attention wherever they go. I think they'll renounce being Jedi entirely and possibly go off to study with Bendu or something, looking for a…

I'd say Obi Wan agreeing that Luke is the Chosen One had more to do with Maul not having enough time for the "Well…actually…" version of events. It's close enough to true for Ben "A Certain Point of View" Kenobi.

I love that the pro-wrestling parody Trump isn't convincing because his tan isn't fake enough and his hair is styled too well.

So…the answer to "What Happened to Gerard Butler's Career?" is apparently "Nothing, he's doing fine and making a lot of money."

Odysseus didn't run, though.

***lays down, goes to sleep***

Get out.

It would have actually made more sense for Saavik to be the traitor, because she was half-Romulan…though that detail was cut from Wrath of Khan and Search for Spock (still present in the novelizations as I recall). That way you don't have her resorting to spurious logic to justify the betrayal, she's just working…

Me. Grrrr.

"Try hard" doesn't mean someone is actually trying hard, it means someone is lazily stringing together things they think will get a reaction out of people instead of putting actual effort to make something good.

I don't even think it's that airheaded, it's more being intentionally misinterpreted. It seems pretty clear that he was just saying Garfield isn't even human, so isn't representing any human social considerations. Trying to read that statement as suggesting Garfield is literally genderless would also mean that…

If it's irradiated it will last until environmental factors erode it piece by piece, so for the entire life of the carbon atoms that comprise it if stored properly. Radiation kills the bacteria that rots things just as readily as it kills larger organisms. In an area truly covered in fallout everything will die but…
