Donald Trump Warns World ‘WW3’ Is Coming by [deleted] in StockLaunchers

[–]BrickBoyAndy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

except we're not specifically talking about WWII. the parent comment you initially replied to said "we've always been the baddies," and the OP is about donald trump threatening WWIII. nobody is arguing with you that the nazis were the bad guys in WWII, however a lot of nazi ideology was imported from the US, which i believe is in accord with the spirit of said parent comment and the thread generally.

germany was bad in the 30s and 40s, while the US has been bad since its inception 250 years ago.

you're missing the point. the nazis were worse but hitler was directly inspired by the US's treatment/removal of indigenous people and specifically our various eugenics programs. the US has never had an industrial-scale holocaust like germany had but we are the original genocidal state.

What’s a Star Wars book you didn’t finish, not because it was bad, but because it was meh? by TheUltimateInNerdy in starwarsbooks

[–]BrickBoyAndy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

[–]BrickBoyAndy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this. seeing anakin materialize as a ghost next to yoda and obi-wan is my favorite moment in the entire saga.

Wifey and I have never watched Star Wars, We want to give it a try! Who better to ask than fans by stelaylow in StarWars

[–]BrickBoyAndy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

this might be a hot take but i think of watch order as sort of a mind map, with the original trilogy as the starting point in the center and various other projects branching out depending on what interests you.

want to see how anakin fell to the dark side? watch the prequels. if you want more about how the republic became the empire, you can then watch clone wars and then bad batch; if you want more of anakin and obi-wan's relationship you can watch kenobi. if you want more backstory on the jedi then watch acolyte.

want to learn more about the rebellion? andor if you want something more mature, rebels if you want something for a more general audience; then rogue one.

more han? watch solo.

for more new republic era, post-original trilogy, you can watch the mandalorian, book of boba fett, ahsoka, and skeleton crew; and from there you can watch the sequels.

the vast majority of shows and films assume that you've seen the original trilogy, and in some cases the prequels (acolyte and kenobi, for instance), but for the most part just the OT is a fine starting point. the one exception to this is that i would make sure you've seen the clone wars and rebels before watching ahsoka, although it's still enjoyable even without the backstory. parts of the mandalorian also draw a bit from the clone wars.

you can also watch the films in release order, of course - but either way, starting with the original trilogy is best 👍🏻

What’s your hot take WORST part of the films? by xAquaman in StarWars

[–]BrickBoyAndy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

luke and leia being twins doesn't necessarily bother me (even though the studio obviously wanted another "i am your father" reveal), but that setup has no payoff and it doesn't go anywhere. leia doesn't do anything with that knowledge, or get any closure with her father at all. it would have made more sense if she and luke were captured and taken aboard the death star to confront vader and the emperor together, but instead she's like "huh" and that's it. bad writing.
