I have been working out! My modem is broken and my phone eats half the posts I try to make, including all the posts I've tried to make here. I'll try this one more time.
I have no idea what a poboy is (well, I do know that I've looked it up) and I have no idea where to even find one here. We got hella great poutine, shawarma, and pho tho, so I'm p okay.

Do all the star wars nerds realise that Princess Leah is a completely different entity from Carrie Fisher, and that the character Princess Leah can, in accordance with all laws of thermodynamics, be played by a different actor than Carrie Fisher and still be the same character within their stupid universe?

Why all the handwringing about CGI reconstruction and scene cutting and all that poo poo?

1) Leia, not Leah

2) I highly doubt they'd recast an iconic character like Leia for the next entry in the numerical episodes. Generally the only major Star Wars recasts are for time jumps, like Ewan McGregor or Alden Ehrenreich

2) Trap sprung. Seriously, the actor is dead. It's OK to find a new one. It won't flip the character's switch to Evil or anything.

So I was on Facebook and this trending article popped up: White woman calls police on black family during barbecuing for “trespassing”

I read the article and watched a little bit of this 24 minute long video and at the very end there's a lone comment

JScott62 posted:

Hey Travis, why did you make this about race when I see nothing in the story that indicates anything racial in nature. I see a miserable fat bitch who just wants to be a miserable fat bitch because she was always the kind who "told" on everyone else. I have had this type of thing happen to me way more than once and I'm white. But you made it racial Travis and you along with the rest of your buddies at Salon are all going to hell for the hatred and chaos you create.

Edit: You can click his name and see other comments he's made:

It's hard, hard, hard to believe that people could be so simply swayed by ads on Facebook. Every day I'm bombarded by cute cat pictures, various religious articles, anti and pro Trump information and cannot say i ever pay any attention to it. If you people really think you lost because of a bunch of godless heathens in a third world country if you took away their military were able to sway the election then you may as well give up.

Their political commentary is to call anyone who disagrees with them a racist.

Idris Elba is suggested for every other iconic role. Why not Princess Leia.

Recasting only works with relatively minor characters or unknown actors. Leia is a huge character that’s been played by the same actor since 1977 by a beloved actress who died relatively early. A recast would be viewed as kinda terrible.

Everyone wanted to see the prequels since Star Wars had its title changed to Episode IV: A New Hope, it just turned out we were wrong. That's why The Last Jedi will go down in history as the best Star Wars, because it was something no one was looking for.

No worries. To be fair there seem to be people who believe something very similar. And on the contrary, people who think the prequels are beyond reproach because they made mad money. :shrug:

I saw the first prequel in theatres the same day as some oil refinery blew up nearby. I just have this memory of a series of massive fireballs with the blackest smoke billowing into the sky being visible from the theatre parking lot as we walked in.

I think it was some kind of omen.
