French revolution...see also Napoleon...

These are all bog standard fiction tropes. Honestly, read any novel. Even HP basically doesn’t care about others.

I’ll be the judge of my geekery and fandom. Not you.

Lol wat?!

Not be nitpicky but, “Coulson shot (and stopped) Hive multiple times, and even KILLED IT WITH FIRE.” — pretty sure that was Fitz. Coulson was too busy killing Ward.

Really? I could swear the facism was only alive in well in the upper tiers of Russian government and the antiquated Italian court system. Crumbling power structures usually devolve into multiple warlord states.

Say what you will but Lucas never introduced things like red matter and magic blood. There is a method to Lucas’s madness. Even if you don’t like the asinine antics of some characters and crumby ‘40s era space fantasy dialogue - he did have a plan.

“‘Chewie, we’re Home,’ is about something else,” Ford told io9 when we asked if this line was referring to the Millennium Falcon. “It’s about [director] JJ [Abrams]’ genius—because it’s preceded with new characters and new stuff, all of which is really intriguing. It’s like walking up to a new house and then you get…

That logic doesn’t actually work...

Everyone’s passive aggressive. All the actual aggressive people are in jail.

Honestly someone already did this in the ‘80s with Molly Ringwald and Peter Strauss. It was called Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone. Not a bad C-grade scific.

Actually pretty sure he just said that the show is it’s own thing and that’s okay.

I’m expecting that the Last Order’s new superweapon is Khan’s blood.

You are weirdly sexist. Why is Han necessary for getting the “stick out of her ass”. She a rebel, which in today’s world translates to terrorist. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t have a stick up her ass but is trying to accomplish a revolution, preferably without dying.

Meh. Who gives a shit? He’s as much right to be bitter and salty as the so-called fans. Honestly, the pissants of this world are so high on their double standards.

Some fans didn’t want them. I merely wanted them to be better. But all in all, I rewatch the PT much more than the OT these days because it’s aging better than the OT.

That’s because you don’t actually like SW. Eveyone knows ANH (aka Star Wars) is the best one.

To be fair ANH (and the other OT films) is more tepid than people realize. It was simply the right kind of novelty at the right time (science fiction just when the video game industry was launching). Ford’s performance wasn’t great but with the odd exception of TESB, Solo was always meant to be a second string…

I don’t think anybody believes that. A great concept person and editor, yeah. Not brilliant director and a fairly wretched writer. I’d still rather have his vision rather than Abrams and more to the point, hipster trash Rian Johnson’s... :/

Not gonna lie, good or bad, I’m more interested in the latter than the fanfiction of the former.
