It does seem pretty clear they are never apart for more than a couple months at a stretch, even if their reunions are brief, and that their many partings (before the fallout after Ben turns, which we still know very little about) are largely fond. I doubt they’d ever reveal that Han wasn’t faithful, now that he’s…

Anakin is still the Chosen One, that’s undisputed in canon. He fulfilled his destiny & brought balance to the Force in vanquishing the Sith. If Rey is another Chosen One, then it isn’t “Neo” at all, it’s Avatar with the same roles as I noted before. “Immaculate conception” doesn’t mean “a kid born from a mother with…

No; according to the novel Bloodline from last year, Han & Leia were still quite happily married 6 years before TFA.

We know more about Han & Leia’s life over those 30 years than we do Luke’s... Han & Leia remained happily married up until sometime after “Bloodline” 6 years before TFA. Leia let Han have his space, to go racing & managing racing teams & whatnot rather than be cooped up in the capital while she did Senate stuff, but…

Rey was left on Jakku YEARS before the novel, and based on Leia’s thoughts in the novel, there’d been no massacre or betrayal among Luke’s students, and Ben Solo was still traveling the galaxy with his Uncle…

who is Leah?

Visually, it’s identical to Oshii’s film. Like, identical. Same exact shots. Not sure if that’s a good thing (to evoke the same atmosphere) or a bad thing (unoriginal, derivative cinematography).

I love this. This is pretty much how conversations with my kiddo go too. Lots of talking about superheroes and robots and stuff. And then it clicks! And then the next topic...

Also:

“WEAPON-HOLE”? Don’t be getting all technical on me ffs!

Just as long as you know you’re part of the problem.

I’m still mad that we never got the Ripper spin-off from Buffy.

They’re really pushing the envelope.

Looks like a PG-13 Witchblade costume.

Thanks for letting us combine the Star Wars salt pinches. My blood pressure hasn’t been awesome lately, and all the salt these posts add on a daily basis can’t be helping that.
