Applewhite posted:The screaming in my household to see episode IX finally got to be too loud after my terrible sister-in-law added her voice to the choir. My gooniness couldn’t hold out and I took the whole fam to see it. Did you mean say Episode VII, or were people really clamoring to see the finale of a trilogy which they had not seen any part of thus far?

The Force Awakens. So they were like “what happened to Snoke? What did Kylo mean when he said he offered Rey his hand? etc etc...”

Did the Death Star wreckage magically shape itself to match the contours of the ancient dagger? Or did I misunderstand and it’s not an ancient dagger but a commemorative dagger made after the crash and they carved the secrets onto it? Also, you know what’s easier than programming a block into all droids not to translate the sith language? Never loading it into them in the first place.

Other things I hated: “hyper skipping” So like, all those planets they visited were within one second hyperdrive jump from each other? Or is the implication that hyperdrive travel is actually instantaneous like in Asimov’s Foundation series?

Roll the ship 90 degrees and watch them all fall off.

I do have to say it’s very progressive of the First Order to have so many women and People of Color in senior leadership positions. It’s nice to know that in the Star Wars Galaxy even a Black woman can rise to the rank of Oversturmbannfuhrer

I think that any droid capable of over 6 million forms of communication is going to be good enough at spotting linguistic patterns that they can learn a new language given very little input. Look how fast he deciphered Ewok.

I feel like we need to revisit the mofferance from Star Wars. How small is your faith in the force that you dont think it could make the death star resemble a dagger? How small is your faith in the force that you dont think a droid built by the chosen one, born of a virgin, wouldn't install failsafes?
