Not if I steal it first!

My one complaint about Rogue One is that we didn’t get enough time with the characters to be properly devastated when they died (except K2SO, I felt his death). I’m on board for a show that shows me more of who Cassian Andor is.

It would have been good if he’d been in charge of it. The idea wasn’t inherently flawed, it just botched the execution with sub-par make-up and a rush to have the Inhumans almost inexplicably suddenly have human friends. Even now, nothing about it was so bad that it couldn’t be fixed in a second season, but the require…

It’d be extremely weird for Rey to not recognise Han, Leia and Kylo and for none of them to recognise her and also leave her out of the narrative entirely.

Lucas’s original plan for the sequels apparently revolved heavily around the midichlorians, or something. I can’t remember the specifics, but the gist was that everybody has things called Whills that live on a microscopic scale and control your actions, at least to an extent. It kinda sounded like the Scientologist…

Kylo Ren might get another chance to save himself, but he might not WANT to. “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink”, as they say. I think part of the reason Luke’s actions in TLJ differ so much from his actions in RotJ is that Luke knew (via the Force) that although he wanted to save Ben, Ben didn’…

I like how my belief in how serious you were dropped at a uniform rate for the entire duration of your comment. That’s extremely good pacing, well done

The narrative JJ was creating was a beat-for-beat retread of the OT. It’s fine when trilogies “rhyme” like Lucas said, but Lucas didn’t retread the OT beat-for-beat; that’s taking the rhyming too far.

Thank you, that was my immediate reaction too.

Allowing themselves to be made into an arm of the Senate. They were the FBI of the Republic long before Sheev showed up. Martin Luther King once pointed out that there was something called a negative peace. It arose from an absence of conflict rather than the presence of justice. If the Jedi were able to preside over…

I have to disagree with you somewhat strongly here, and if my tone comes across as dismissive or aggressive I apologize as I’m trying to avoid that, but TLJ actually continues the monomyth that Campbell described. Campbell said the next stages were the “Refusal of the Return”, where the Hero is either unable or…

Palpatine might have been the most devious Sith to ever live, but the Jedi were the ones who blindly walked into the trap.

This is why I hope WB keep Joss Whedon on after Justice League. His was the first DCEU movie to actually bother showing civilian relief efforts. When Superman shows up to the final battle, he actually leaves the rest of the team to deal with Steppenwulf on their own for a while, while he goes to help Flash evacuate…

Only if there’s a guild.

I’m here to tell you: not always. I know THAT for a fact.

Also witness JGL discuss the intellectual merits of Street Fighter II:

The unfortunate fact of the matter is that it doesn’t matter whether you, the consumer, want the devs and testers to avoid crunch. They’re not doing crunch to avoid online harassment. When I was working in games, I would’ve happily taken the brunt of an online bullying campaign or two over sleeping at my desk. It’s…

It’s a funny meme but fiverr are absolutely right to nip it in the bud.

I don’t want to be all Ten Commandments with you, telling you “THOU SHALT NOT” about your decisions, but - and this is just my own experience - it helps to not think about where dating and conversations with your preferred sex are *going*, but rather to focus on having a good time during the early parts and letting…
