So how about letting the audience know about that? They don’t even hint at it after the fact. No one on the ship is like, “uh, what happened?”. If we have to deduce it from a few throw away lines of dialogue from 40 year old movie then it’s bad storytelling.

That’s kinda of a shitty non-answer for someone filling a thread with insults calling people idiots.

Where? All I can recall is where someone trained in the force is reaching out to her. Further, again, being sensitive is far from being able to manipulate it. Having heightened intuition is totally believable as something that just “is”. Moving an object should require some training.

That kinda contradicts the whole “instinct” angle.

So rather than give the viewer anything that suggests that that may have occurred, we get to see Chewbacca roasting a porg on a campfire. Definitely a more crucial scene.

That line speaks more about potential than reality. No one is skeptical of Leia being able to be trained in the force. It’s the fact that that training is hidden from the viewer, or never even occurred, as insinuated by the “instinct” comments.

When have we seen her act on and manipulate the force?

We’ve seen time and time again in the movies that Leia has used the Force

I mean she’s obviously strong in the Force

No, the problem is that he did not write a character that meshed with the character that had been written prior to that point in time.

The biggest problem I have with the scene is that they don’t set it up as a possibility. Like, at all. They leap from her being “force sensitive” because of a few throw away lines, to being actually trained in the force with no real explanation. I could maybe even follow that reasoning if any of those lines took place…

Yes, good job at tucking it into the last line of the post after the headline and entire text preceding it told a different story. Clearly I have no right to contest the bulk and spirit of this article because of it.

Totally the same

A lot of presumptions in your response there. First, kudos to you for leaving vacation time on the table. I’m sure your employer loves you throwing away your time for their benefit. Second, where do you see anger? You can have an issue with something that someone says without being angry. Are you angry with me? Last,…

Honest question, how likely is it that our friend effectively negotiated their salary? Is it possible that women are more likely to take the opening offer instead of negotiating when faced with a rare opportunity of working for such a prestigious tech company?

Honest question, but are salary negotiations taken into account? Maybe men tend to ask for more and get it. You have to expect a company, to a degree, to try to pay as little as possible for the talent they need.

On the mobile side, per Reuters, it’s unclear whether Apple needs to patch the OS running on iPhones and iPads

Oh good, because with that attitude about criticism you never make it very far as a writer. OR, you can take another look at your work and ask yourself if I have a point.

You spent 4 bullet points basically saying “tip more” each time. Do you get paid by the word?

Sure, it burns an extra vacation day, but were you really going to use them all anyway?
