At least in the first one they weren’t incompetent, at worst some of them were overconfident. What did them in was Nedry’s deliberate sabotage. Muldoon was competent, but the raptors were just better. The park was fundamentally flawed, but Hammond didn’t want to believe that, and was overriding his staff of experts…

Re: the Franklin, I do think it’s a plot hole. They definitely show that the alien tech is messing with Elba’s physiology, and it seems like it’s messing with his psychology, so I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to say that it’s messing with his memory too, but there’s nothing to explicitly support it in the…

It turns out that trying to force someone to help you when that someone knows her way around morphine is actually really hard.

Beyond’s tech weirdness seemed to me to be another “shipwrecked mariner turns to the remnants of forgotten, ancient civilization to survive” plots; they sorta explained it in a couple throwaway handwaves. I read it as something like the Iconians, but nowhere near explained well enough, just because they didn’t have…

It’s impossible to be be sure, but the way he says he’s done with eSports makes me hope that this (completely justified) firestorm has made him realize that participating in it was causing him to engage in unhealthy and unacceptable behavior. If he was truly unrepentant, I’d sorta expect him to fight it more. It…

I think there was probably a point, early on, when voice chat was hard enough that most people had more positive experiences than negative ones. There were always assholes and trolls, but as it steadily got easy to get on voice chat, it also became quicker and easier to indulge in vile behavior. The upside of being…

To be fair, if you cut out the Anakin/Padme scenes from AotC, it’s also much, much better. Cut out C-3PO as well and the movie’s not bad at all, just a bit to heavy on didn’t-age-well CGI.

I think it has been implied that Dantooine was where Dodonna’s cell was operating before, like how Phoenix Squadron was operating out of Atollon. We didn’t really skip over it so much as see a different, concurrent story. Remember, this is only ~3 years before Yavin now, and it’s supposed to have been abandoned for…

Well, now that the Rebellion has had its first victory, there’s room for him to be exiled to Wild Space for a failure.

He took off from inside his freighter after the Rathtar incident.

Yeah, I feel like they could maybe get away with just one of them surviving but leaving in exile for some reason (like, say, the deaths of the other two) but even that’s a stretch. Their days have to be numbered.

How bold does one have to be to stack books on top of Bendu?

That game seemed ridiculously hard. I don’t remember ever seeing someone actually catch her, unlike in Where in the World.

I suspect they’d freak out if they ever got to Season 2 and he screws with them.

That’s one more Equis than his father’s!

Sure, but there’s a lot of war left before Endor.

I really hope the same happens to Hera and Sabine.

“If there’s a bright center to the universe you’re on the planet that it’s farthest from.”

Now, certainly moody-teenager-Luke isn’t a great source of stellar cartography, but Tatooine is definitely supposed to be fairly remote and barely notable in the grand scheme of things.

I mean, if you’ve got one of the most prolific voice actors on your cast sheet, why not use him everywhere?

My bet is they were indeed added on purpose, but I suspect that purpose is because the old design was very goofy, and never made any sense.
