I like Macklemore (although I prefer Lamar and Eminem obviously). I don’t get the author’s point. Macklemore should just walk away from a successful career and something that he loves because he’s white and you don’t like his music?

That’s an unbelievably funny mash up.

“Just shut it, I’ll watch 20 movies the quality of Into Darkness rather than watch a single one the quality of ANY of the TNG movies!”

“So much of what is magical about Han Solo is due to Harrison’s work, which was largely informed by his contempt for Lucas’ script. Lucas didn’t expect the performance he got from Ford, but it worked brilliantly. Should Lucas get credit for Ford’s work?”

“The fact that she looks hot in her sex slave costume and that’s what people choose to focus on says more about us than it does about Leia.”

“She did live alone but she also: knew her neighbours (cf. the small fellow who tried to net BB-8)“

“The only possible way an extended version could be any better is if it somehow expand the role of Phasma,”

“If she lives and works at (or in the vicinity of) an outpost with a dozen or more other species, and does so for 14 years with no family, then I beg to differ.”

“still be the only instance of Deus Ex and not multiple as originally implied”

Touche.

“Remember, this story is a trilogy. Before assuming she has no training, we’ll have to wait to see what the new movies will reveal.”

“Watch the movie again. You’ll see many different alien species.”

“but I fail to see the multiple Deus Ex instances you seem to have a problem with.”

“Wouldn’t the time, money and energy be better expended on Rogue One and the rest of Trilogy 3.0?”

“So much of what’s wrong with him is the performance by Ahmed Best, who was a percussionist with Stomp. He went big and broad, when the character would’ve been better served by something a lot more restrained.”

“I think that characterizing what happens in ROTJ as a “rescue of Leia” is really a stretch. Luke is about to be thrown into the pit of Sarlacc, then Han, then Chewie. They are saving their own skin. Leia uses their skirmish as a distraction to effect her own escape. The only way to read that scene as Luke rescuing…

“Wait, the bullshit way Rey escapes, or Leia? Having a little trouble following.”

Well in fairness of the what 5 female characters in the OT 3 are dancers, Leia spends time as a dancer and Mon Mothma has like 2 lines. Leia also goes to get Han when she should probably be saving the galaxy as a Rebel General. She doesn’t kill Jabba until Luke comes to save her. It’s like Rey they establish that she…

“Interesting theory but I’ve never ever heard anyone say he used telekinetic ability to guide the torpedoes. And I’ve been nerding up Star Wars for 20+ years on the interwebs, in addition to them old analog days”

“Han is good at all of those regular skills.”
