Exactly. There so many odd assumptions and accusations here for such a straight forward thing that many people would have done. Why not confine the anger towards all of the ACTUAL bad things he’s done? It’s not like there aren’t enough of them. 

I think that’s 100% true, but one problem is that even if those of us who think what he’s doing is gross and potentially very harmful, he still has a legion of followers who are so devoted to him that they deny he’s doing anything wrong. There’s no arguing with stans because they just don’t care. 

Grogu is still emblematic of what’s wrong with modern Star Wars, it’s all rooted in nostalgia.

I think the opposite: it was conceived of as it’s own thing, but half way through they decided it was too new and needed to get back to the successful formula of The Mandalorian.

But that is why you’ll see “no jake brake” signs now and then.

I was 14 when I visited my grandfathers farm in East Texas and he asked if I had driven yet. I said no, so he told me to hop into an old Jeep Cherokee he kept. Immediately upon seeing the gear shift I asked if maybe he had an automatic I should learn on instead.

The thing is, it almost doesn’t matter if they’re real. Since he makes all of his money off of just being “him”, the whole story is just more content for his brand. 

I liked Black Widow, but the timing absolutely kills it for me. If they had somehow managed to film and release it BETWEEN Infinity War and Endgame, it would have served Widow so, so much better. As it is, it really felt like a perfunctory coda to a character who was out of the story.

That’s interesting. Of all the shows actors I thought Steven Straight was the closest to the books. All of the actors were good, but the show’s Amos was simply NOT the book Amos. Alex actually nailed that character, but was young and pretty like the other actors. Naomi was likewise good, but I never once thought she…

This. So much fucking this.

^^^^^^ This. Shuri was never a primary character in BP.

Wright has been slated as THE protagonist of BP going forward

Is Newsweek right wing? I stopped following them because they pump out MASSIVE amounts of bullshit these days, but most of it seemed to be left leaning?

I mean there’s been a *playable* build for years now, but it’s a bunch of random pieces and play models kind of thrown together. 

Yep. I bought a Constellation(?) because it was the sort of Millenium Falcon type ship. I’ve “owned” it for like 7 years and still never gotten to fly it anywhere. It’s been a long time since I bothered to reinstall. 

Unfortunately he was only convicted of ATTEMPTED rape, which means that any media outlet that doesn’t qualify the rape as “alleged” is basically giving the asshole free money when he sues them. 

I fully support her wearing that costume at all times. The world would be a better place not having to see her anymore.

I understand that the Raptor brand has recognition, but they’re essentially calling this the Ford Horse Bird. 

I loathe Rise, but I will actively avoid Attack of the Clones. It is absolutely worse. At the very least there is no acting in Rise that comes close to being as bad as Anakin is in AotC.
