Oh fer sure. But I do think that had Ren been at full functioning levels he would have been out in the first few seconds.

Yup yup. Already got the schoolage. That’s what I get for making comments off the cuff about books I read a decade ago.

Honestly, it would be entertaining as hell if JarJar showed up at the very end, alive and well. I would laugh my ass off.

Oh man, did I just stick my nerd foot in my nerd mouth? It’s been a while since I read everything. Maybe all three? They did have an abundant number of young men with dark hair fucking off for a dark side vacation in the EU. I mix ‘em up sometimes.

Oh man I missed that! I’ll just have to go again and keep an eye out... ohs nos.

They’ll make it happen. I feel like he’s too important of a character to just throw away in the first movie.

Right? I was very pleasantly surprised. Plus, on a shallower note, I do not remember him being that hot. I’ve seen a couple Girls episodes and been like ‘meh, that guys kind of skeezy’ but he took off that helmet the first time and, not gonna lie, I audibly gasped. His hair is glorious.

Oh for sure. Sort of a mix of the two. Mostly I got a Zekk vibe because of the angsty stuff. Caedus was never really that angsty, just a bit cray.

Zekk was Jaina’s (Han and Leia’s daughter) love interest in the EU for a while. He lost his shit, became a sith who did not finish his training, and actually used a ship called the StarCrusher to... crush stars. Also similar physically, so I kind of figured they used him as a model for Ben. And yeah, I totally caught…

He is both, I’m pretty sure. I think that’s how he was able to slip his ‘training/mind control’ stuff. Obvs not as powerful as Rey, but still will probs end up a pretty serviceable Jedi.

I really hope they don’t kill off Ren at the end. I hope he pulls a Zekk and ends a redeemed but super sad loner who gets to fly off in his dad’s ship and be sad for the rest of his life. Or he’ll get redeemed (ish) before the third movie and spend the third movie fighting Snoak and taking down the First Order. Oooo,…

He was hurt and is not fully trained so I think Finn was just lucky, and he did get taken down to the point of coma for it. With Rey, 100 percent seemed to be holding back. He actually seemed really desperate for her to be his friend or whatevs. Like I said, I got vibes from those two, which probably means they’re…

Yeah, there were a couple points in the movie where the ‘we’re staring at each other and not saying anything’ dragged on a bit too long. Like, ya don’t have to talk but for fracks sake, cut away already.

She remembered the ocean and the island that she found Luke on at the end, though that could just be because ‘force vibes.’ Also she saw those flashes when she touched Luke’s lightsaber. And my personal favorite, Kylo Ren seemed kind of into her. Cause, ya know, Skywalkers diggin’ on their relations and stuff.

It seems pretty obvious that she is Luke’s daughter, but I think it would be really cool if she was just a random person with force power. The way they talked about Luke training a new generation seemed to be in the plural sense, so perhaps she was just a force sensitive youngling who he was training and had to hide…

The miserly Scot vs. the Miserly Jew stereotypes are quite similar. The Scotch thing has fallen out of prominence now, but at the time when Dicken’s was writing would have been very much in the fore of the social conscience. Here is a short article with actual ads that were run. Pretty interesting.

This is a hilarious comment, I would love for this to happen in real life. But I’m very sorry, the shitty pedantic in me has burst forth.... Technically Shkreli is not a Scrooge, because Scrooge was very much defined by hoarding and not spending money. He did not live in a huge house or enjoy the fame of being stupid…

She is not, in fact, the most beautiful woman on earth. Everyone is attracted to her because it is one of her superpowers. Therefore, she could be ugo as all get out, but everyone would still be attracted to her. And she is supposed to be built. Even the earliest depictions of her have very defined muscles. No, she is…

Uuuuuggggh. I don’t have AMC and can only watch the first two episodes free! My life is a shambles!

This. Especially since exposure to porn and porn like things at a young age has been proven to seriously effect people as adults. I’m all about sex positive, scientifically accurate, open teaching of children about things. But that is a huge nooooooope. I started this article thinking I was going to get real pissed…
