e: lol what the gently caress Leia. this is dumb even by kid character standards

Disney keeping up their star wars tradition of just absolutely bottling what should be the easiest win in franchise history.

I mean who doesn't want 66% of the story to be reliant on a lovely child actor and internal empire struggles instead of you know... Obi Wan. the character everyone wanted to see a series about.

When i think "Obi Wan" I think Obi Wan shooting back and forth with some bounty hunter with both missing wildly while Leia stares at the ledge of a building for five minutes with occasional cuts to Reva doing parkour for no reason

Isn't Obi Wan supposed to hate blasters?

Yeah its a great idea to have an unathletic person awkwardly run along a rooftop and do a backflip for no reason jumping a 2 ft gap.

That’s because they happen in zip codes that don’t matter.

Also mass shooting is defined by four or more injured I think. That stuff happens in big cities every weekend pretty much.

I mean that should be the case because wtf is going on there but you've hosed up real bad when a police union wants you investigated and I honestly didn't expect this. Even this where it's so obvious that it needs to happen I thought they'd do the usual thing and just have their backs.

e: also the Texas police union being named CLEAT is on brand.

Yeah, if the police union is throwing your police department under the bus, you're turbo hosed. I wouldn't bet on it, but it makes me slightly hopeful someone will lose their job over this at the very least.

Police orgs likely see this as a potential turning point for people. They need to show that this was just Uvalde loving up, and try to put trust back into police. It’s the one bad apple applied to a whole department. Although this is school shooting #2 where police were on the scene and did nothing.

Started my new job today and lol I can already tell I'm going to be grinding my teeth over poo poo I can't control but since it's about deadlines the court sets and I am good at documenting, it should be okay. Still not looking forward to my first "sorry but court will reject this since you got it to me at 4:30, deadline is 4:00 and I don't control poo poo" email. The supervisor is great and the person who does what I do for the court in Kent is also great.

Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

I think people are forgetting how really loving bad the prequels were. Just absolutely dog poo poo movies largely carried on the charisma of the actors.

That’s damning with faint praise if I’ve ever heard it.

I really would have thought that they’d learned their lesson about storylines involving precocious children but they’re gonna keep going to that well.
