Because they’re Nazis (or, as the show made clear, people who don’t like the word “Nazi” but like everything Nazis believe).

The Abrams flicks based Kirk on what some comedians had said about him, not anything from TOS.

“KIRK DIDN’T NEED A COUNSELOR SITTING NEXT TO HIM!!!!!”

Yeah, it seems like Saul would’ve pissed off enough people in the interim that Lalo wouldn’t be the first one he jumped to.

Give it to Pamela Adlon so she can do Better Stranger Things.

Steve/Robin/Dustin in the Winnebago with a talking dog would be good.

Ah.  That’s what I get for posting after only watching the first 15 minutes of the episode.

Maybe they should rename the movie “The Reverse-Flash” and just CGI a scene in at the end where Grant Gustin runs in and punches them into jail.

When have they showed no-delay communications on this show? On the moon base? I don’t think there would be that big a lag, but I don’t want to do the math (also I don’t know how to).

I would love a Donald Glover Lando series, especially if they have Billy Dee acting as the narrator.

Probably gave all the ewoks in that village cancer, burning all that plastic and heavy metals.

No! He threw an old man down a hole to protect his own child, which retroactively undid 25 years of mass murder and genocide, making him good again.

I sure wish Clive Owen had gotten the chance to be Bond.

It seems like giant monsters fighting outside of Cairo could’ve easily attracted the attention of Dr. Strange or Thor. But, certainly not necessary.

Abrams also made hyperspace = teleportation.  See they “hyperspace skipping” in Rise.  (I mean, obviously don’t see that movie again).

Yes, exactly. I thought that they’d at least contrive some way for the duel to end inconclusively - giant chasm opening and separating them or whatever - but nope. Kenobi just goes “welp, bye.” He misses a second chance to kill Vader (after just leaving him to slowly burn to death on hot rocks in RotS) and then goes…

Awwww!  *kicks at imaginary stone*

“Your father’s lightsaber. An elegant weap . . .”

Hey, is this where all the sucking-off is happening?

Yes, it seems much more useful than the “nag the living as a ghost” trick.
