It looks like NoogieNoogie has left the building, lol.

It’s literally one of the best Star Wars stories out there. You should avail yourself of it. Not knowing about it also hurts your credibility here given how monolithic it is in the fandom. Also, Disney borrows heavily from the old EU when it suits them all the time. Luke has a Jedi Crusader pendant in his hut in TLJ…

Literally, everyone from Tatooine wears those robes.Uncle Owen is wearing them in ANH.

You’re joking, right? The split in Trekkie opinion about Discovery has been just as ridiculous, if not more so.

Sometimes I feel like I’ve just somehow accidentally watched a different film when I hear people talk about what they saw in TLJ. Oh well. I understand, different strokes for different folks, but damn, some of this stuff seems lightyears removed from what actually happened.

You: He blows up the death-star only after Obi-wan coaches him.

Also you: Contrast that with Rey, who spends a few days with a man who doesn’t even train her, aside from a couple of verbal lessons.

So the “verbal lessons” are good enough in one instance and not good enough in another.

For like...five seconds, but that counts as extensive Jedi training in the minds of a lot of people for some reason.

Not the point, though. The point is that SW fans loved him even though he was a huge “Mary Sue”. But with Rey it’s some sort of huge issue.

It just hit no. 12 on the all-time worldwide chart, surpassing films like The Dark Knight (a notorious flop, lol) and Rogue One (the fanboy darling film). But please, by all means, keep trying to spin the narrative the TLJ is not a massively successful film.

Except it IS a Star Wars film. That’s its context. It’s the 8th film in a multi-generational franchise. You can’t watch it as a “standalone” film and it’s stupid to try.

It wanted to show you that it was important to her and a big part of her character. That doesn’t necessarily mean it was some grand mystery.

No, the antagonist says that. The protagonist comes to understand that you learn from the past.

“Resolved” is the word you’re looking for. Rey’s parents being nobody was the most satisfying option for her character. And Snoke was just some asshole in the same way the Emperor was just some asshole in the original.

Fans bought the idea that these things were some grand mysteries into the theater with them.

I am wondering how they are going to do this since Betty and Veronica play a fairly large-ish role in the comic. Are they just going to ignore Riverdale and do their own version of those characters or give the role that they play in the story to new characters?

This reminds me of that musical Zombie Prom...that RuPaul was in......anybody????? Accept this doesn’t look like fun.

I think it’s actually a bandage from being shot with Chewie’s Bowcaster, but I like to think it’s just his pants for the sake of the meme culture.

Doing backflips to excuse Putin’s regime and accusing someone else of being a “shill”. Priceless.

Boring.

Well, Lorde has no problem playing in Moscow after they blew up a bunch of Syrians, terrorized Ukraine, and shit all over LGBTQ folk so I can’t really see the principle here. This is why country boycotts are ridiculous.

If Julian Assange bounced off Putin’s cock any harder the condom would pop out of his mouth. That’s where it comes from.
