I disagree - he didn’t leave because he believe his nephew is beyond reemption - he left because he believe he himself was. Luke did hope that his nephew would be redeemed, but he also firmly believed that such redemption would never happen if he was around. What Luke lost was cobfidence in himself - and since that…

I really wish the Birds of Prey movie wasn’t about Harley Quinn. I respect all the points being made here about using Harley’s POV as a license to go way out with everything, and it certainly seems like a labor of love for the writers and director. Other than Harley though, it doesn’t seem like they’ve honored the…
Ya’ll forgot one...
At least we’ve got the return of Clone Wars to look forward to.
I’m trying very hard to forget about Star Wars Resistance.
I haven’t had a chance to watch the essay yet, but I’ll offer the unpopular (for io9) take that Rogue One is the best of the Disney Star Wars films and quite possibly the second best Star Wars film overall. (TESB being number 1.)
The difference is Abrams has proven he understands what makes Star Wars special. Johnson labored under the incorrect and arrogant delusion that there was something about Star Wars that needed fixing. Star Wars doesn’t need to be ‘fixed’ because it was fucking great to begin with. Johnson could have done TLJ in a more…
You literally just made me tear up.
It’s more like it’s unkillable...
Especially if he has two Death Stars painted on his X-Wing.
Whenever this subject comes up, I will always post this succinct breakdown of the problem with Luke’s arc, which was posted on this very site by another user when TLJ came out.
The issues I take is of redefining the heroes journey to lead Luke to where he was. But I blame that on Rian Johnson’s hero deconstruction bent. The Luke at the end of Return of the Jedi was not the kind of Luke that could toss one of his father’s lightsabers over his shoulder like a piece of junk. They didn’t *earn*…
You can beat Minecraft? Had no idea.
Yub yub, Commander.
I loved the Nog character from the start of DS9. The first scene with him and Jake together held so much foreshadowing of boyhood adventures and mischief to come. Eisenberg brought so much to Nog, consistent body language and mannerisms along with the ability to express glee in a way that made you feel it. Nog was so…
Not petty at all. They’ve replaced the team’s founder with the longtime girlfriend of one of her biggest foes—the man who paralyzed her. Frak, if the MCU Fantastic Four was lead by Doctor Doom’s girlfriend Valeria instead of Reed Richards, fans would riot in the streets.

Yes, it was dumb. She should have ordered Poe to do the kamikaze run.
