You seem to think people do basic research before buying something that costs $25,000+

The problem is in a basic storytelling principle that’s often referred to as “Chekhov’s Gun.” The basic idea is every scene, every prop, every comment should have a purpose in the narrative or symbolism. If it doesn’t, it’s a waste of time and a distraction and should not be in the film.

This has some terrifying implications for people living under authoritarian governments.

Considering that a lot of people anticipated getting far less than 100% back, it IS a win. Compare that to say, the Bernie Madoff case, where $17B was invested by customers, and less than $3B was recovered.

I mean, the Whistleblower was scheduled to give more testimony. He wasn’t done, he was scheduled to give testimony like 2 days later or something again in a deposition.

The Phantom Menace is full of thinly veiled racist tropes.

Yeah, like a second guy committing suicide, or dying in a sudden accident would have been pretty crazy. If a guy suddenly died of unexplainable and undiagnosed symptoms (that might indicate poisoning) that would also be pretty crazy.
