My lightsaber experience was that it was worth the wait to get to see and touch the sabers. Had to wait in the sun for an hour to get there but it was worth the wait and an incredibly tailored experience with a dedicated light saber salesperson answering all our questions and letting us really

Discussion Quorum posted:Somewhere on these forums (probably a previous incarnation of this thread) someone encouraged me to give Andor a try and honestly? It's good. Star Wars for grown-ups. Seemingly driven by relatable characters instead of merchandising tie-ins and fan nostalgia. Naturally Disney will do their best to never make that mistake again! It’s the best drama in the last few years (and I thought Better Call Saul was great) and if I Think You Should Leave didn’t exist might take the crown for top show.

Andor's Space Jacksonville/Brighton is the most real Star Wars has ever been.

Would it surprise anyone to learn that Clarence's yacht buddy has a signed copy of Mein Kampf? Yeah, me neither.quote:When Republican megadonor Harlan Crow isn’t lavishing Justice Clarence Thomas with free trips on his private plane and yacht (in possible violation of Supreme Court ethics rules), he lives a quiet life in Dallas among his historical collections. These collections include Hitler artifacts—two of his paintings of European cityscapes, a signed copy of Mein Kampf, and assorted Nazi memorabilia—plus a garden full of statues of the 20th century’s worst despots. Suuuuure.

I legit thought it was going to be a gimmick I rolled my eyes at throughout but nope, poo poo owned. My mom and I wandered Downtown Disney about 6-7 years ago while in Orlando and it was then I realized how screwed she and my dad would've been if they had all the Star Wars stuff when my brother and I were kids, because my sub-10 year old rear end totally would've had a custom lightsaber and probably some other pricy stuff. Hell, low 30s me wanted one and considered building a custom, plastic Droid to be named FU-69 for grins. (e- Oh, there's an entire lightsaber building EXPERIENCE now?

Lightsabers are larger and heavier then I expected but had a sold feel when holding them. Plus they had Count Dooku’s saber and he was played by enteral badass Christopher Lee!

Yeah the whole thing was awesome, but we spent a solid chunk of change for the one day we were there. We're DINKs though, so, worth it. Pretty sure if this place existed when I was a kid, my dad would have yelled that I was lucky to even go there and no, I may not get a lightsaber. One of the bigger reservations I had about going to begin with (before my wife surprised me), is I would read stories about all these neckbeard Star Wars fans getting pissy that kids and their families would be able to do the "fun" parts on the Millenium Falcon ride or ruin their immersion. gently caress that. I'll argue that half the damned excitement I got was seeing kids get as excited as I was. Millenium Falcon ride spoilered because someone might care We got grouped with some parents with two kids that were like ten, so the ride staff gave my wife and I the engineer roles which amounted to sitting in the two furthest seats back in the cockpit and smacking some buttons when prompted. Did not care, those kids got so damned into it, and when they prompted the "pilot" to finally hit the lightspeed lever after dog fight sequence, this ten year old kid is so loving jazzed and I'm in the back yelling "PUNCH IT!". All smiles while we walked away from that thing. The whole damned ride was just pure

All smiles while we walked away from that thing. The whole damned ride was just pure I got to throw the lever and absolutely yelled “punch it, chewie” before I did. For me, galaxy’s edge was cool but we didn’t really get to do it right, considering we had a 7yo and twin 5yos, but when grandma fronted the bill for a week at Disney, I’m not complaining. Only souvenir I brought back from the parks are the thermal detonator coke and sprites, since you can’t get that anywhere else.

His use of "man's inhumanity to man" is a direct quote of Ben Ferencz, who died a couple days ago. Netflix had a great documentary about him called Prosecuting Evil which appears to no longer be available. What a poo poo-rear end news combo that is.

This is equal parts shameful, appalling, and in a way utterly bewildering. https://www.washingtonpost.com/comics/2023/04/08/jerry-craft-new-kid-school-trip-book-ban/ Short version: guy writes and draws two books featuring a POC kid in a new school, they are wholesome and charming and very popular. Result: Welcome to all the book ban lists, bucko! Apparently for no reason other than 1) authoring while Black, and 2) multiple counts of Black protagonist in positive light

I have had Twitter installed for years and not used it, and in the last few weeks it’s been alerting me to tweets about Trumps many legal woes. I literally have never tweeted, retweeted, liked, blocked or followed anyone. I have it installed so I can click through on threads and read them easier than in the awfulapp browser. So with that said I don’t know if they’re legit, thus: if true.
