1) I can forgive switching up the main villain of the sequel trilogy when the middle movie kills off what is intended to be the main villain without bothering to figure out where to go next.

Yup, the Trevorrow Ep IX is gonna be just like the Edgar Wright Ant-Man.

I think Tor Valium does just as much damage to Vader’s arc as bringing back Palps does. Now, Vader’s sacrifice is not that he turned against the ultimate evil to save the life of his son - he just killed middle management and then never bothered telling his son that there’s a real deal Sith Lord probably coming to…

In a way, the Arrowverse just rebuilt the Trinity - GA is Batman, Flash is Superman (esp. Silver Age-era Supes with new powers every week), and Supergirl is WW.

I think our disagreement boils down to how we felt the puzzle itself affected the story. For me, the reveal that the show was not happening simultaneously and consecutively was when Calanthe shows up again in Ep 4, after having died in Ep 1 (I grant that there might have been clues earlier, but I missed them).

Yup. I totally didn’t drop a youtube clip in another comment, lol.  100% guilty of being that nerd.

We know about his teacher.

Rule of Two was bullshit from the start - see Asajj Ventress. Yeah, yeah, she’s technically not a Sith because it was just Dooku/Tyrannis and Palps, but that’s just semantic bullshit.

I’m firmly of the opinion that while TLJ is a pretty good movie with some things I hate, I would have preferred a pure JJ Abrams trilogy rather than, as someone else posted in response to this story, two movies shouting at another one.

I think introducing a new primary villain in the ninth movie is slightly different than introducing a new mentor character in the second movie, but *shrug*

they were being juxtaposed for thematic purpose, not plot purpose

“It’s dumb that they just brought back Palps after not mentioning him in either of the previous movies. Like we’re supposed to believe that he was like just off-screen the entire time.”

Much more excited about this than another generic Hans Zimmer computer-generated score.

I, for one, would love for the future of the Democratic Party to be resolved by a minor tiff between two septuagenarians, one of whom was a Republican during the Clinton years and the other who is only a Democrat when he wants to run for President.

That bit is utterly flawless.  Easily one of Stewart’s best.

In all fairness, Megyn Santa-is-canonically-white Kelly is worse than Charlize made her seem, so it seems like it was pretty fair all around.

Oh, so the astronomers want to have some pristine area not taken over by someone else’s scientific pursuits?

He’s 39 years old! It’s long past time for him to change his last name!

Just got this card in October, and this might force me to cancel it (or at least downgrade).  Bummer.

And that same source states that speeding killed 9,378 in that same year.
