And apparently it should read “Sean Cameron Michael” as that’s what comes up when Googling Sean Cameron Mitchell anyway

Before you can say, “Worst game of charades ever,” the culprit appears: Mr. Peterson (Sean Cameron Michael), the group’s former high school science teacher, who somehow holds them responsible for the overdose death of his son, Caleb, a half-decade earlier.

Fortunately, we’re working hard to achieve a world where newer generations don’t outlive their parents.

This is one of the actual cases where elements on both sides of the fence have cheapened a term with an actual, specific, literally clinical meaning. First it was THE YOOTS using it to mean “saw/heard/read something I didn’t like” and the wingnuts took it from there and turned it into a generalized insult to throw…

Because of the dependent clause.

Anakin’s immediate ancestor is a slave woman. All your example does is make Biggs the Space Jesus instead of Luke.

Oh the part about Anakin’s actions leading to the thing he was trying to prevent--Padme’s death--makes perfect sense, because that is exactly how it goes. The part about Anakin attempting to master childbirth is . . . what does mastering childbirth even mean?

We’re going to glue so much, you’re going to be so sick and tired of gluing.

Eh, the idea of the hero taking on a singular imposing monster has been around for a very long time. Although modern games have for some time now presented boss fights that consist of both the big bad and squads/swarms of minions, so there’s most likely something to your comment on the hardware aspect.

But then that just makes Biggs Darklighter the chosen one. The narrative problem with any sort of inborn special quality like Force powers is that you can’t have it both ways. You can have a character who discovers they have some power that others don’t (or is at least rare, or they have it to a unique degree), thus…

Anakin attempted to master childbirth

Good point; it’s laying out several paths and then going down none of them.

Because he had nightmares about Padme dying and Palpatine told him that he had figured out Darth Plagueis’s secret to overcoming death.

In material terms the expansion includes a big new HQ office that sounds effectively like a mini-college campus, an international office in Amsterdam focused on publishing and marketing, and new people brought on board at the executive and board of directors level

Yeah, clearly a ton of commenters here aren’t even aware of what they’re talking about when they throw around terms like “Christ child.” You mean the son of a carpenter from a backwater village in northern Palestine, born in a stable? Humble beginnings are part and parcel of the literal Christ story, it’s a feature,…

So the problem here is that people are misusing terms like “royalty” and “aristocracy.” One of the more consistent tropes of divinely chosen figures is humble beginnings: it’s a key aspect of the literal Christ narrative, for Christ’s sake.

What do the prequels have to do with the Empire reveal? You don’t have to go and invent headcanon to believe it; while it’s true thatthere’s no substantial breadcrumbs leading up to it, it’s also true that neither does it in any way contradict anything previous.

Yes, not sure where that’s confusing or how it relates to the fact that all of the negative experiences you listed, that might have set up a turn to the dark side, happened after he had already committed himself to Palpatine.
