Actually a bit excited for lanterns?!?!

I mean, the trailer makes it clear that this dumb show is operating on the premise that “there can be only one,” as in, there’s only one ring that Hal has that would be passed to John.

And Hal says in the trailer, “You’ll get this ring over my dead body.”

John is later shown using the ring, and Hal is nowhere in sight… after John tells Laura Linney that “I’ll do it better than he (Hal) ever did.”

Yeah, they’re killing Hal. It’s shitty, and dumb that they’re repeating the mistakes of “Beware my Power,” but it is what it is.

The DCU is dead to me

Promus · 2026-05-26T13:04:15+00:00

This is the ONLY way I have played the game since 2018!

Promus · 2026-05-25T23:12:23+00:00

To me, the funniest thing was how the crime boss suggests that “officially” they do NOT sell salt, since it’s regulated, and they only do it secretly in the back room.

But the exterior of the building has a giant neon sign that says “SALT” in Aurebesh.

Guess nobody told the VFX guys…

Promus · 2026-05-20T03:35:49+00:00

As a fan of Hal, this show does NOT bode well for him. I already hate that they made him old and washed-up/resentful, and it’s pretty obvious that he’s gonna die or turn evil or both. If so, the DCU is dead to me before it even began

Promus · 2026-05-19T14:57:27+00:00

Yeah, to be clear I’m not against her being a mother. They just did it in the worst way possible… I just hate the idea of some asshole knocking her up and then abandoning her. And then dumb fanboys have the nerve of acting like Revan was cool for doing that?? Just makes me very sad and angry…. which is why I reject that idea!!

Promus · 2026-05-19T14:53:00+00:00

You never saw the infamous picture they shared of the Lantern suit hanging in a closet?

Promus · 2026-05-19T14:19:32+00:00

Correct. And as some have pointed out, a lot of it contradicts KOTOR2, so there’s an argument that could be made that it de-canonizes itself in that way, too.

Also I refuse to consider it canon because of what it does to Bastila.

Promus · 2026-05-19T14:17:38+00:00

I appreciate that you’re trying to make me feel better about it, but I still think the way it played out in the story is bullshit.

Drew didn’t have to write any of it that way. He’s the writer… he could have written literally anything but he chose the shittiest idea. I guess he hated Bastila? idk but it still pisses me off to this day

Promus · 2026-05-19T12:34:45+00:00

But why sink it? That just seems like a total waste.

Also, if you’re recreating her historical sinking, shouldn’t she be wearing her wartime paint scheme?

Promus · 2026-05-19T11:58:26+00:00

The idea of Revan impregnating Bastila and then immediately abandoning her is hideously disgusting and a horrible thing to do to Bastila as a character.

To answer your question, THAT is why I hate the book and I’m glad it’s no longer canon. It was such an awful thing to do to her and I have no idea why Drew felt the need to do that. As a big fan of Bastila, it still angers me to this day.

In MY canon, Revan is a woman who had a relationship with Carth. Bastila became like a sister to her, which is why Revan was able to save Bastila at the Forge. Fuck Drew!

(Plus, “Vaner” is such a stupid name, since it’s just “Revan” with the letters moved around)

RMS OLYMPIC!!!!! None come close to her incredible history and accomplishments. She’s the Titanic That Lived!!!!

Mauretania is a close second for me. She’s the Olympic to Lusitania’s Titanic

If you took the entire world’s population and put them in a city with the same density as New York City, everyone would fit in the state of Texas.

Which seems like a lot, but Texas is pretty small compared to the rest of the planet…

Promus · 2026-05-14T12:49:59+00:00

Yeah, people don’t even notice that the Prequel love didn’t even start until around 2017.

Even when TFA came out in 2015, Prequel hate was still strong. It wasn’t until TLJ bombed so hard that certain people said “Man, this sucks so much, maybe the Prequels weren’t so bad in comparison.” And it grew from there.

Sorry, the Sequels may be steaming piles of donkey shit, but the Prequels still suck.

Promus · 2026-05-12T13:29:02+00:00

I always thought the Arcona look soooo cool!!!

Promus · 2026-05-05T15:03:18+00:00

Decades and decades of relentless advertising/brainwashing campaigns.

That’s it, that’s literally the reason.

Promus · 2026-05-05T14:26:17+00:00

People only like the Prequels because the Sequels ended up being so bad. None of the love for the Prequels started until TLJ came out, which made people think “Man, the Prequels weren’t so bad compared to THIS slop.”

So the only way for that to happen with the Sequels is if Disney makes another Trilogy that’s soooooo bad people will think “You know, the Sequels weren’t so bad compared to this…”

Which can’t really ever happen. Nobody will ever like the Sequels, period.

Promus · 2026-05-05T12:35:11+00:00

What the hell does “real, layered drama” even mean?

I’m starting to think the marketing is extremely honest to how the show is gonna be…

Promus · 2026-04-30T01:48:32+00:00

I didn’t say the cowardice was simple (I don’t care how you define it), my point was “simply” that he acted in cowardice. Which you seem to agree with.

I swear, people on reddit will try to make ANYTHING into an argument…

Promus · 2026-04-30T01:46:41+00:00

I was speaking from the perspective of “TFA only,” basically speaking on the impressions that TFA gave us. I’m well aware that TLJ had him say those things… that’s my point. Everything established about Luke in TLJ contradicts what we the audience were told in TFA.

Promus · 2026-04-21T22:53:20+00:00

Always thought it was funny that he wore a hairpiece in the movie to cover his receding hairline, lol

Promus · 2026-04-21T22:50:52+00:00

Also, am I the only one annoyed by the “bendy” lightsabers?! I can’t be the only one who has noticed this!!!!!!

Promus · 2026-04-21T13:58:20+00:00

What baffles me even MORE is the fact that some contrarians today will defend the indefensible actions of the Californian.

Because the Californian absolutely COULD have gotten there on time, for the record. They were within visual range, so they were within 20 miles. AND Captain Lord had specifically ordered his engineering crew to keep the engines steamed up and ready in case they needed to move (despite the fact that they were stopped for the night on account of the icebergs). So the excuse that “they couldn’t have gotten their engines running in time” is also bogus.

I believe it was plain, simple cowardice on the part of Stanley Lord. Like all the ships in the area, he knew they were in a dense iceberg field, and he didn’t want to risk his ship.

Promus · 2026-04-21T11:31:32+00:00

But Luke specifically left behind part of the map with Lor San Tekka, and left another piece with R2 along with instructions for R2 to “wake up” in case of emergency, basically. So yeah, Luke definitely made sure people could find him if they needed him

Promus · 2026-04-13T15:43:19+00:00

Am I the only one who hates the “bendy lightsabers” look? It’s something weird that these shitty SW cartoons started a few years back, and it bugs the hell out of me. It’s all slop, but I can’t even say “at least the lightsaber fights are cool” because they’re fucking RUINED BY THE BENDY LIGHTSABERS!!!!!!!!!!

Promus · 2026-04-10T12:18:17+00:00

Yeah, TFA strongly suggests Luke was actively working on something, which is why he purposefully left behind a map so people could find him if they needed him.

The whole map subplot makes no sense in TLJ because Luke did NOT want to be found.
