And why did they bring him back? Because Disney paid good money to George Lucas for the franchise and they are going to make money with ALL the classic characters you cherished and loved in your childhood. Or kill the franchise while trying.

/\ I think the decision was because Rian Johnson killed Snoke in the second movie and JJ didn't know what to do after his heavy was killed off a movie early.Kesper North posted:i'm deeply disappointed that he is never palpated at any point in canon Actually he's the one that does the palpitating. That's how he got his name. By using the force to Palpate his opponent's prostate. Something he was unable to do to Rey, which allowed her to defeat him. That's also why Vader was able to defeat him, because Vader lost his guy parts on Mustafar. When Palpatine can't force choke his opponent's prostate, he gets panicky and starts cumming force lightening even though it's not helping him.

I'm rewatching SNW with my parents and I realised that SNW is hiding a lot of the morality tales in the character drama. The episode where Uhura keeps seeing visions, is mainly about Uhura learning to deal with death, and there's some stuff in there about differences in interpreting communication. It's not as strong as SNW S1, or TNG or whatever, but it's still there and it's well delivered in a way that will hit the people it needs to

Fair, the worst thing you could ever say to a Star Wars fan is to tell them to practice personal responsibility. After The Last Jedi said "grow up, please", Duel of the Fates going "own your life choices, please" would inspire a manchild jihad that lasted a thousand years.

The consequences of my own actions! Is the JJ Trek dead? I saw most/all of them I think. They weren't terrible but not good Trek either. I like that Simon Pegg seems to have a rooting interest in them.

I mean yeah but Babylon 5 handled it better. Like season 2 of Babylon 5 had me, literally, on the edge of my seat going "oh poo poo they're going to go to war any second now oh poo poo ph holy loving poo poo" whereas with DS9 it feels all like it's in the background by comparison.

I like DS9 and B5 equally but they're really totally different shows. b5 Definitely did the overall one long story better but DS9 did you can drop into any episode and get what is going on without any problem and still lay down some good future plots or resolve different story lines.

looks like someone got their star trek vi figures, staged them in a modified 3d print of the observation lounge, then slapped on some ghost kid faces and fake aging decals to imitate an 80s print advertisement.
