I guess that’s why I didn’t say that; I said they saw a chance to add their first gay character and took it, in the spirit of all the diversity they’ve already had.

So they’ve shown a really great commitment to diversity but should draw the line here?

What’s with the helmet hose? Is this a hazardous environment trooper?

Because if it weren’t mentioned then he would just be another straight character, for all intents and purposes. Likely they had to find a reason he might not be accepted as a monk and decided they might as well create some more diversity.

Yes, but that material is all on the table to reincorporated as the new EU gets rebuilt. So there's no reason Thrawn can't show up again - and frankly I think it'd be silly not to hang on to the favorites in some form.

I was mad and then I wasn't mad.

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

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.

Sanitation work isn't necessarily terrible, shameful work...

Woof, these are going to be good...

Explain to me why Superman isn't just going to kill every single bad guy the Justice League ever faces.

Can this one be named Brooklyn Carter? He promised.

I don't think Robin Williams' problem was mere boredom.

I think the bigger issue is not that rich people are immune to boredom or loneliness, but that it doesn't really matter, because they have the resources to fix it, and other people have real problems. Problems bigger than boredom and loneliness.

Oh man. They're definitely going to do a Star Wars one, aren't they?

Still my favorite video game soundtrack of all time.
