Most boomers aren’t voting for a candidate based on his position on weed. And the ones that do probably would have voted Democrat or third party anyway.

They are mostly focusing on the recreational states so...yeah, mostly democratic voters.

Getting older swing-state conservatives to come out on a culture issue is more important to them than the revenues.

Why?

I mean...that’s a very libertarian argument.

I’ve never been to a dispensary that takes anything but cash.

No national bank will touch the business side.

This is exactly true and precisely what I’ve been trying to say, but articulated more succinctly.

They do, though.

I get what you’re saying, but I think you’re missing the mark a bit.

Nope.

Ummm...so I meant Ben Solo, not Ben Sisko, but now all I can think about is Avery Brooks playing a Darth Vader ripoff and I love everything about it so much...

Plus, even if you buy that Luke just had a moment of weakness and wouldn’t have really killed Ben...that’s still a huge issue for Luke’s characterization.

100% agree with this.

I mean...go out fighting?

Did Luke go to the Death Star to kill his father? Because my read is he goes in there to save him.

I mean...that’s a reading. And certainly the one the Johnson went with. And as I’ve said, I respect that even if I didn’t ENJOY it (nor do I think it was a good choice—at least not without a drastic retooling of the marketing pre-launch).

I mean, he LEAVES sure. But withing TFA there is the possibility that he left for more than personal reasons. That his leaving was the painful but RIGHT thing to do in some way.

Maybe, but I would argue that if you get a decent oral storyteller to TELL you the story of the prequels (or have a decent writer zoom out to write it) they hold up well and the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker is pretty poignant.
