I wonder if the same would be true for someone from the UK if you were to refer to, say Pasties or Yorkshire Pudding as being “British”. 

... slip a bantha under the tree, for me. 

They’re about as intelligent as a Disney sidekick animal. Smarter than banthas but not as civilized as Ewoks. 

Yeah, I fully expected that to happen, but I guess they had plans for Leia in Episod IX. It would have meant no reunion with Luke, but they could have done something while she was in a coma. 

Wasn’t it a union dispute? Made me wonder which side Maz was on...

Is it considered canon that Anakin’s mother was magically Force-inseminated by Palpatine?

We’re also living at the start of the new Star Wars canon. In 5-10 years there’ll be more canonical lore and backstory than anyone can keep straight.

I also imagine that the Jedi order trained far more Force-sensitive students than ever graduated to full Jedi master. Those who failed out, or who chose to leave, wouldn’t be held to the celibacy rules. 

The way Leia, Han and Luke talk about Snoke, it seems like they know more about him than is ever revealed to the viewer. I am curious how he initially made contact with Ben, but I don’t mind waiting for a comic or tv show to find out. 

In the Wheel of Time series, there is a small percentage of the population that can learn to use magic with training, and a tiny percentage of that group that will start to use magic, training or no. The ability to learn is not uncommon in the general population, but is rarely found except among the wealthy.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Snoke (and, maybe, the Knights of Ren) gets a comic book or cameos in a future TV series. I don’t mind them relegating backstory to supplemental materials.

A thousand voices just groaned, and were silent. 

Leia sensed Han’s death from across the galaxy, and she’s canonically force sensitive in Empire and ROTJ. We’ve never seen her move something with the Force, but I have to imagine pushing yourself through a weightless vacuum is one of the easier tricks, especially if your life depends on it.

I half expected a montage of oppressed people around the galaxy discovering their force powers at that moment. Maybe that would have been too obvious (and it’s not really how the force works...) but it would have been a powerful moment. 

I figured it was something like that.

IMO the Jedi order we saw in the prequels had severely lost its way, by becoming a political body as well as a religious order. The Jedi should be servants of the people, not enforcers of the government’s will.

I loved this reveal. Of all the gripes people have about The Last Jedi, this is the one I most disagree with. Honestly, how could anything else have been satisfying?

What’s the history behind washing eggs? Was there a salmonella outbreak at some point, or is it a just-in-case kind of thing?

I think there was a Lifehacker article about poaching eggs the other day, too. 

On ANY planet, as far as we know...
