That’s a nice little promotion you have there. Be a shame if something happened o it.

We’re paying his salary, he’s part of an elected official’s advisory team,why is it doxxing for us to know where to reach him to discuss his work? I don’t think you know what that word means.

I’m gonna go the opposite.  TLJ is Star Wars for people who don’t need every little detail explained and can figure some stuff out on their own.

I mean we all liked Ewan in Trainspotting and other stuff. Natalie Portman has proven herself with Black Swan and Jackie. Seems like Lucas as writer/director really is the common denominator.

TLJ was the best Star Wars film since Empire.

I’m with Clayton on this one.

I like Rogue One and The Force Awakens just fine. But The Last Jedi is something else. It’s the best Star Wars movie in decades.

The Last Jedi was great and fuck all y’all that hated it.

Lootboxes specifically, but there will still be microtransactions. Until those are gone completely, there is no reason to let up the pressure on EA. I understand people talking about cosmetic stuff being okay but not too long ago, we got cosmetic stuff FREE, as unlocks! The whole speech about how they need them to…

The evolution of video games from buy-em-once products to play-em-forever services is not going to stop.

There’s a difference between normal microtransactions and lootboxes. The random element in the latter taps into the same impulses that gambling does, making it an unethically exploitative practise.

The market at work. The best way to show ones displeasure to a corporation is with your money. When Battlefront 2 sold a million copies less then expected it showed this controversy was real. That is the difference between online anger and actual anger, when people don’t buy the damn thing.

As a Tom Brady lover, I have to say, this article was phenomenal. Great writing, fun read—-keep it up.

As with so much of the prequels, lots of good ideas, poorly executed.

Leia as a mentor to Poe in TLJ is pretty cool, though. That’s a dynamic movies don’t often use—an older female mentor to a younger man (especially if you subtract characters who are actually teenagers or children). I thought she did plenty in TLJ but it is really disappointing that she won’t have her spotlight entry…

I think a lot of those ideas are fine, but (unsurprisingly) incredibly undercooked.

Right? She’s spending all her time with a dude who hates democracy, just murdered a bunch of creatures in a rage, and within days, confesses her love to him by saying “I’ve been dying a little everyday since you came back into my life.” That’s not a good sign!!

The biggest problem with Padme’s characterization is that she falls in love with Anakin.

I think she’s a great character that’s forced into a bad relationship for plot reasons.

I don’t understand how Padme can fall for a guy who is a) creepy, b) fascist leaning, and c) a murderer.

Eh, it depends, I think, on what you’re looking for in a Star Wars movie. If you’re looking for careful plotting, sharp dialogue, and coherent characters, then you ought to despise the original Star Wars, because it is haphazardly plotted, features often excruciatingly bad dialogue, and as for characters that behave…

The movie didn’t do that at all, no matter how badly aggrieved obsessives want to claim that it did.

This is weird, but: I kind of think that, by shutting down the possibility that The Force Awakens’s plotlines would lead to a trilogy-long rehashing of the entire original trilogy, and spinning off in surprising and new directions with the characters and their adventures, The Last Jedi retroactively made The Force…
