But not in the way I wanted :(

The “Doomsday Clock” is totally goofy and should only exist in comic books, but it’s real. It’s wild that people take it seriously.

Ackbar is a big character within the fandom for meme reasons but most people have no idea who he is and he’s a weird looking puppet thing. It needed to be a human for audiences to relate to more. Honestly, I would have lol’ed if it was Ackbar and I don’t think I’d be alone there. That’s not what they were going for.…

No, it really shouldn’t have been.

Even believing that Ben was too far gone I don’t think she would have taken the risk of possibly hurting her son.

The Empire was never completely destroyed. They were just run into the “Unknown Regions” where they reorganized into the First Order with Empire loyalists from the new Senate that abandoned the New Republic. That’s explained the new canon material.

Honestly, I supplied something very close to this explanation myself…

Also, it’s a Mon Calamari ship, which are famously unbreakable and strong in the Star Wars universe.

Bryce Dallas Howard actually made a song called “I am Not Jessica Chastain.” It’s fun.

Oh, I’ve seen this. It’s hilarious. My point remains. I still don’t think it’s aesthetically pleasing and I don’t see how this style of fighting enhances or makes what is on screen more substantive or compelling.

Also, it’s not actually “Kendo” fighting in these movies, it’s the “base ingredient” stylized and…

YEP! And it looks exactly like that too.

This whole revisionist “the prequels actually aren’t that bad” line appearing around the internet needs to die.

Yes. Yes, they were that bad. They only get worse because every year the CGI looks more and more dated.

They were a fucking celluloid holocuast.

Yeah, that lightsaber fight where we have a villain who never speaks and we know nothing about so I have no idea what the motivation is or why I should care. Riveting stuff!

I fucking hate that lightsaber fight and I fucking hate how people bring it up as if it’s a positive. “But the lightsaber fight sure was kewl!!!”…

We’ve lost one of the greats, folks.

OMG please, please cry more about TLJ. Your tears give me power.

Yeah and that’s the problem. Kat’s “reviews” are just incoherent, unhinged ranting at this point. God forbid we want higher quality.

Have you seen its detractors?

“The Orville knows what it means to be REAL Star Trek!!!!!! I am going to cut myself in the shower because CBS ruined my life 4eva!!!##%$#%@#E&*!!!!!”

It’s not uncommon for production or creators to stright up lie about something. If I got angry enough over it, I would basically never, watch, read or listen to anything. Hell, even JK Rowling straight up lied about shit in Harry Potter.

This comes with the territory. It’s definitely not a good enough reason for me to…

If you’re talking about the ESB showdown on Bespin my read on that was always that Vader was purposefully holding back and probing Luke’s ability because he wanted to turn Luke. If he wanted Luke dead, I feel like he would be.

“were explained and given a purpose in the films they are introduced.”

Right so you were super pissed off after you saw Empire Strikes Back when they never followed up on the Clone Wars after it was introduced by several characters in A New Hope.

“is a major plot device”

So is the briefcase in Pulp Fiction, but I don’t need to know where it came from and couldn’t care less.

And they didn’t do anything or interact with the characters in any substantive way.
