Don’t stop banging that drum, please.

The alliteration is useless, and the substance is incorrect. No points.

Re: “they made us care even more...”, don’t be so loose with that “us”. Not everyone shares your reaction or opinion.

I very much disliked all the prequels. My first reaction on seeing TFA is, “I have newfound respect for the prequels.”

His comment was more thoughtful and nuanced than yours. The respect for his comment was for the introduction of those qualities (thoughtfulness and nuance) to an Internet discussion.

But that’s a useless expression. “The opinion that this dude has no pages” has no substantive difference to “the opinion that this dude has pages.” It is meaningless.

This is a stupid hot take.

Reddit is pretty much a cesspool of human misery. I’m sure y’all Millenials love it, but...ugh.

“Hoggoth” is a proper noun. He/it is one of the three Vishanti.

Keep up the fight! Actually, Greg Howard’s defense of his usage is acceptable—that he grew up with soccer writing that was written in British English, and so he developed his soccer writing style in the same way. Of course, he still uses spellings such as “program” and “favorite” and “color” instead of British…

Was waiting for this when I saw Mr. Graham’s announcement.

I see your point a little bit, but I don’t think it’s worse. At a certain point, it’s all “convenient to the plot.” My point, and I think others share it, is that technical and piloting abilities are available to more people in the Universe than the Skywalker family. Having those abilities outside of that family is…

I’m sure they’re tempted. I just hope they resist the temptation.

I’ve told people that this movie makes me give new respect to the prequels. Their failure was in meshing with the originals—there were so many parts that didn’t seem to fit. The failure of this movie was on its own merits. It doesn’t make sense as a movie on its own, even accounting for unanswered questions relating…

Re: Untrained force usage:

It’s grays forever, apparently. Sorry. I gave you a star in case it helps. Good luck!

Well, there’s no indication of an actual marriage between them. Until they answer the question, it’s no more likely to be Ben Solo than Ben Organa. The case could easily be made that preserving the last name that provided Leia with such political power in the first place would be a smart move. I highly doubt anyone…

I hope so. I mean, I hope we don’t find out. That would be so much better an answer than “Skywalker.”

I believe Harrison Ford’s son from his first marriage (even before Melissa Mathison) is named Benjamin. Maybe ol’ No-Fucks-Given Ford just shouted out his son’s name and nobody had the balls to say “Cut! Harrison, Han named his son ‘Kylo’, not ‘Ben,’ okay?”

That’s the only explanation that I could come up with as well to justify the existence of it. I get the sense, however, that the filmmakers didn’t put that much thought into it, unfortunately.
