^ This. I'm pretty sure Chris Pratt's character is a veterinarian, so they're probably pretty used to him, and it's his entire job to understand them.

We'll find out that Chris Pratt is actually their pet.

Seriously! How are people not on board with this! Not only is it awesome, but it's the logical extension of how the film's have been treating the raptors. The first movie establishes how smart and deadly they are, and the third one ends with a tense negotiation between a pack of raptors and a human who has learned…

I was mad and then I wasn't mad.

Look! It's...a theropod.

...you may want to sit down for this.

I'm not supergiiiiiirl...not yet a superwooooooman...all I neeeeeeed is time...

No.

Yeah, but hey, the good keepers of the holocron made it all work somehow. (And I suspect that, with the comics license reverting back to Marvel, we'll be seeing a lot of that stuff again.)

It's a hand in the card game Sabacc, kind of like a Royal Flush in poker.

I think they can probably keep the pre-RotJ EU largely intact without doing any real damage to themselves...

Well yes, they left it open to writers to do, but it's great when writers do do it, especially this early in Disney's game, and Dave Filoni is a major proponent of this.

I'm so happy about the episode title. Every time Dave Filoni saves a piece of the EU, an angel gets its wings. (I heard the deep space pilots talk about them. They live on the moons of Iego, I think...)

Darth Myope.

The economy would be up, and there would be no war and we wouldn't have to worry about climate change. So you never know.

SCOBY!

Yeah, and the phrasing in the article seems to suggest that wolves were not independently domesticated in the Americas, but rather domestic dogs were brought over from elsewhere.

Sure, but "better" or "good different" aren't really my point. It seems that almost every suggestion for why changing a character's ethnicity would be "good different" is because that characters' status as a minority would enhance a theme of outsider-ness or oppression, and that's unfortunate.

There's another thread…

It wouldn't have been his name, though. It would have been a descriptor appended to his name by later writers. Like "Simon Zealotes," or, for that matter, "Jesus Christ."

Yeah but it's also statistically unlikely for Bruce Wayne to be in the 1%. It's statistically unlikely for him to be a superhero. Statistically speaking, it's more likely for us to follow a character for seven books who died from Voldemort's killing curse, or never encountered him at all. I get where you're coming…
