Current Jenny Nicholson's four hour takedown of the failed Star Wars hotel is the most entertaining thing Disney Star Wars has provided in seven years

Train isn't a real band, it exists just to be played softly in clothing stores or the few malls that still exist in America. You can't convince me otherwise. RIP to the bassist though.

Discord really did ruin everything, now people can't even air their grievances publicly like the good lord intended

Look, I got lost on the way to getting some jajangmyeon and it'd be foolish to leave now.

But what books do they discuss, the conversation must be quite stimulating


Why does this chocobo look like he's got five minutes to defeat Frieza before Namek explodes

I have zero issues with the lightspeed ram (she didn't enter hyperspace! Let's call it a lightspeed ram!) and even fewer issues with magnetized bombs. I think it's weird for people to think there's a 'right' and a 'wrong' way for Star Wars battles when the rules of the universe change on a whim anyway.

Like, just saying, if you think a lightspeed ram is too far just you wait until you find out about hyperspace skimming!
I'm really trying not to buy the Animal Crossing Switch console but it's really hard.
The sequels are essentially, Disney's Fan Fiction written by two different authors that hated each others' writing.


Except it's more like one author collabed with an actual author who was super familiar with Star Wars, then an author who had a singular vision that, love it or hate it, was at least a unique voice, so then the original author decided to collab again only this time with an author who wrote one decent thing and considerably more bad things and together they blamed literally everyone else when their project was roundly jeered up to and including Carrie Fisher.

JJ Abrams is the guy you get to direct the pilot episode of a television show. He only has one storytelling style and that's introducing mysteries but never concluding them. His Star Trek reboot was flashy and loud but his sequel was a mess. Super 8 wanted to be an 80s Spielberg movie but it lacked the heart, and Mission: Impossible 3 is remembered only because of Phillip Seymour Hoffman because the movie doesn't even bother explaining the thing Tom Cruise and Pals are out to protect because mysteries are cooler when you don't have to think about them.

Given how nonsensical TROS turned out it's probably no secret that the reason TFA wasn't more bonkers was because of Lawrence Kasdan (and the more cynical but probably somewhat true thought that the movie had to play it 'safe' given that Star Wars still had the 'stink' of the prequels at the time) being a co-writer.

It's pretty telling that the sequel movie that people still talk about is also the only one where it was clear the director had a vision. It's also no coincidence that the one that uses the most of what Lucas originally intended for a potential sequel was also that same movie.

What I'm saying is the one time the sequels let a director stick to his vision we got the most interesting one.

And also the best Star Wars movie they've ever made
It's funny because Palpatine's plan in ROS was basically also Emperor Vitiate/Valkorion's plan in Knights of the Fallen Empire, like damn near to the letter. Except Valkorion actually pulled it off. Mostly.
