99.9~% of anything creative is shit, man... that’s the nature of having people learn by throwing stuff out there. They get better with time and practice and good feedback. You don’t get the .1% of awesome, free of the rest that serves as a testbed, open distribution platform and support community. You need the rest of…

Fanfiction is written by a range of people with a range of abilities. And I’m not sure I understand how “riding a fandom bandwagon” is different than, “I always dreamed about writing Batman.”

It was really hard to watch him admitting that he sold her and the Falcon for booze on one of his trips with Maz Kanata. He was so ashamed that he never told Han the truth about it.

It’s my guess that Colbert is relying heavily on his improv training in that interview, as Adam, understandable though it may be, is just not giving him anything to latch onto. His answers are accurate, yeah, but they’re all really short and don’t expand on the point.

I’ve always liked Adam Driver, dude seems pretty sincere.

I will wait for the next “episode” when Kylo chases Lone Star then turns around and shrieks:

Anakin was creepy as shit.

I think it was, actually. It’s clear that Lucas came in with a fantastic idea for episode 3 and had to figure out how to lead up to it, rather than the other way around, and the public thirst for new Star Wars movies was so intense that he couldn’t just do episode 3 as a one-off. The first two episodes weren’t really…

I only ever saw the prequels in the theater when they came out (several weeks after the premier weekend to avoid crowds), so I haven’t seen any of them in years; all I remember is that they were all bad and I’ve never had any desire to watch any of them a second time.

AotC bugs me mainly for four reasons:

Also, what’s exactly is the problem so many seem to have with Attack of the Clonesthese days?
