No. No no no no. This has no scientific basis whatsoever, at all, ever.

It’s impossible to catch the flu from the modern flu shot. Unless your last flu shot was decades ago you either a) caught the flu anyway from a source other than the shot (it’s not 100% effective but that’s no reason to not still get the shot) or b) caught something else and thought it was the flu.

Yeah, try to be more inspirational like Ken here. Ken comments on famous people out of his own feelings of inequity. Be like Ken, Musk.

Presumably he did save a lot on the ticket price by booking long in advance.

Look, I’m just going to say this: we NEED to get into space. Elon Musk is... problematic... but at this point he’s pushing things forwards when nobody else is. I’m not saying I would support a baby-eating monster if it meant we got to Mars, but it would certainly be cause for consideration...

I bet you are a true Adonis billionaire from success in multiple cutting edge industries yourself.

Word is the producers did it all for the glory of love... of the original films.

Its going to be a cruel summer.

Trivia addendum - that theme was composed by one Johnny Williams shortly after his discharge from the Air Force (where he played piano and composed for a couple of bands.)

...it’s cute that you think that Abrams had a plan for anything.

Pixar director Emma Coats once compiled a list of her 22 most important rules for storytelling. I’m pretty sure Johnson was paying attention to #6:

The silliest one was, ‘Is she a robot?’

Amen, it’s nice to see a story where a hero isn’t predestined. There’s ironically nothing special about a chosen one. The hero who works hard and has a good heart and does what’s right is far more interesting to me.

It would be great if there are several deleted scenes with the actors trying out different parental possibilities...

Yeah...but the fact that apparently a ton of Jedi were active at the time makes it confusing when Han Solo doesn’t believe they were real.  I mean, he’s a few years older than Luke and Leia.  He’s friends with Chewbacca, who literally served in the wars and fought with a Jedi...and Han still thinks they were frauds. …

Honestly Luke and Leia being Vader’s kids fucked up the timeline completely. I mean Yoda was some ancient space wizard who lived to be 900. Totally plausible Obi-Wan was crazy old too, and Darth Vader as well by extension.

This is literally the most plausible space scene in TLJ. You can survive in the vacuum of space for up to a minute and a half with only minor injury and a simple push would have propelled her in the opposite direction. The only thing not rooted in physics here is using the force to initiate the push. Literally the…

I’d accept that argument before believing that she just fell for the dude.
