TLJ haters don’t understand the movie. They wanted to see Luke Skywalker, galactic bad ass, restarting the Jedi order like it was and then everything would be awesome.

Do you want me to give you the usual answer about nobody giving a shit about Iron Man, Thor or Captain America but then gave them a chance, or are you just hear to bitch about the MCU without giving the show a chance?

She didn’t show up in the movies because she was created after the fact. Which really causes a head-scratcher because in Revenge of the Sith, “the way the Jedi treated my apprentice after she was framed for a terrorist attack caused her to leave the Order” would seem to be more important than “they aren’t letting me

There’s a few simple answers to the Jacen thing.

1. Ahsoka doesn’t want to train him. She refused to train Grogu because he had connections and she knows what connections can do, and this was to a man she met once and would maybe never have to see again. Now try telling your friend and war buddy that you’re taking her

“Until recent times, it was believed the Force originated from little things called Midichlorians.  But we now know that far from being the source of the force, they in fact are quite dangerous, and those who are Force sensitive, and have a high Midichlorian level, are far more likely to become evil and genocidal. A

I didn’t get far into this before I realized I just stopped caring about the details of a lot of this years ago. Tell good stories and I don’t give a single fuck how close you stick to the established rules of space magic.

Why do we keep trying to explain the force when Yoda did so perfectly in Empire?

I agree with you, although I find Clone Wars much harder to recommend to fellow Star Wars fans. It has so much going for it, including fleshing out the character of Skywalker in much needed ways and the creation of Ahsoka. But the tonal shifts on that show can be pretty whiplash inducing. You will get a three episode

Grogu normally only makes monosyllabic noises, but at the end of this episode someone talks to him and he says what sounds like 3 or 4 words in a row - it wasn’t English (sorry, Basic) but still. Was it just me or was this the first time he ever said a full sentence like that?

Yeah, I thought this season made it very clear he could understand what people were saying, and in fact use speech when given a (crude) speech device.  So it feels to me like a physical limitation, or at least mostly.

It can be argued that 1981’s The Evil Dead, made on a shoestring budget when director Sam Raimi was barely 21, kicked off the 1980s boom in horror comedy [...] the 2013 Evil Dead remake was a more or less humorless repeat of Raimi’s first feature, and it failed to measure up to its predecessors

Yaddle’s speaking role in Tales of the Jedi confirmed that the species is perfectly capable of speaking normally, and Yoda’s apparently just a weird hipster who thinks he sounds cool.

This describes it succinctly:

If Die Hard were set during July instead of Christmas, the following elements would be deleted from the film:

It’s the Jersey City PD, asserting their jurisdiction once they realized the feds from DoDC fucked up.

Some of you indeed may swoon over Fawad Khan. Others of us are googling “Mehwish Hayat” very frantically...

“The show seemed to be trying to manufacture chemistry between Kamala and Kareem that wasn’t working.”

I actually really liked the touch of Tyesha’s Black parents participating in the dance!

Nani is for sure wearing the other bangle, right?

It’s impossible to separate the “religious” from the secular in SA weddings. Nowadays it’s extremely common for people to just include whatever they want in their weddings alongside any traditional ceremonies. So South Indian weddings now have sangeet and mehndi, which did not used to be a thing, and I have attended
