Counterpoint: if your son is a mass-murdering psychopath, then maybe the right thing to do is acknowledge that they’ve crossed a line. Leia is not a piece of shit, but she’s also intensely moral and strong. It would break her heart, but I think she would realise that Kylo was not the Ben she used to know.
Agreed.
Why is it that no writer at any point was ever willing to just commit to Kylo being a villain? He’s a wretched little rat bastard, he doesn’t need redemption just because his grandad did. Just let him be evil!
He. Murdered. His. Dad.
Yes, that’s the most glaring issue with this purported version. But I think there are other issues with Rise of Skywalker that this version doesn’t have that still make it an improvement.
That’s... not awful? It’s thematically close to my dream list changes would be needed to fix TRoS without doing to much to change the overall structure. Rey and Kylo really needed to be on parallel journeys.
god forbid we actually accept people’s heartfelt apologies about things they did half a lifetime ago...
And I love that 4 years later, people’s biggest criticism of Bernie Sanders is STILL “too many men like him and I don’t like men”

Now there’s a book series. I don’t think you’ll have any problems finding a publisher. You can probably get a Netflix deal too
Kotaku has previously reported on self-appointed boob police who trawl through Twitch’s directories searching for and reporting women they believe are violating Twitch’s terms of service.
What absolutely miserable human beings these people reporting her must be

I remember an Onion article at the time along the lines of “Nation’s Landfills Struggling to Deal With Jar-Jar Binks Merchandise”
Thing is, in 1999 audiences left theaters satisfied, almost giddy, with Episode 1. Darth Maul was the character with the biggest impact and the climatic battle ended a 16 year light saber battle drought. It was in the years that followed that the nerd echo chamber exploded and public derision for the film came to the…
Yes and no. The intent of the policy (and it's policy, not law) was to prevent frivolous lawsuits against the president that would distract or prevent him from fulfilling his duties. I believe some of the thought was, if the president was committing crimes, he'd be impeached, then could be charged. I don't know that…
It’s not even a law! It’s a standing DOJ opinion!
It would be so damn gratifying to see Trump arrested when he leaves office. It’s also a little terrifying to think that, should Trump be reelected, he might not face criminal charges for another 4 years. This whole “we can’t indict a sitting president” law needs to be dropped. It’s made our democracy an absolute joke.
I could not possibly care less about his whiny little feelings in that scene. He’s a grown ass man. If he can’t handle mild teasing from a rude 13 year old without flying into a rage, he shouldn’t be raising one.
