Honestly TFA had a lot going for it. JJ is great at setting up mysteries (except how Anakin’s lightsaber came back), but he is absolute trash at wrapping up those mysteries. Cinematography has never been a weak point in Star Wars.

TLJ I thought was awesome when I saw it in the theater. But every viewing since I have liked less and less. After at least 6 or 7 viewings I no longer think it’s a very good movie. The Kylo/Rey scenes being just about the only interesting thing happening onscreen. John Boyega and and Oscar Isaac were wasted completely, Admiral Holdo was a walking plot hole, the slow speed space chase, and the physics (which come on it’s star wars, it’s always fantastical) felt like they were cranked up in terms of ridiculousness.

How was it that Rose and Finn could leave the space chase at will but no one else could? They couldn’t shuttle people out? Or you know, BRING SOME FUEL BACK WITH YOU?

I never saw the third one as I heard they veered back too far in the opposite direction, while still somehow barreling ahead with eliminating all living Skywalkers? Blah. Now I just get sad when I see Luke onscreen in whatever TV show he’s guest starring in.

Why worry about Israel attacking a US ship while pretending they are Egyptian in order to draw the US in a wider war? It’s not like they’ve been shown to be spying on the US, or have any recent evidence that Netanyahu’s government funds enemies of Israel in order to bolster political support.

This is all a big nothing-burger of millions of lives at stake. 😬

Daemon Angron is not allowed free will, and wants nothing more than blood and skulls. If he could want to remove the nails he couldn’t as they aren’t really the nails anymore. The warp is made of souls, Angron’s soul is one with the nails forever.

John Carter stole The Odyssey, which stole from Gilgamesh, who stole from Enheduanna, who stole from the neolithic artists of Sayburç, who stole from the paleolithic cave artists of Cáceres, who were alive around 75,000 years ago, or about 240,000 years after modern humans first evolved. They probably stole from someone in those 240,000 years.

It gets tiring, but if it’s an interesting story it does not matter.

80% of the state is to the west of the Appalachian chain. We haven’t been midwestern since Ohio gained statehood in 1803. However, nearly 10% of my state has tied itself to an identity as a Midwesterner because for 20 years conservatives have been calling it “the real america”. It’s like Pennsylvanias flying the Confederate flag. It’s about identity, not history or reality.
