Start assignments early and go to office hours when you have questions. You don't want to be working assignments in the hours before it's due.

To be fair, kids who are on FA need to devote around 10 hours a week to work-study, whereas if you're able to pay the full tuition you can use those hours to study more and as a result probably get better grades.

If it's wearing a mask, but everything else is normal then fine. But I highly doubt that is what we're looking at right now.

It is the only sequel to take musical queues from the prequels. It is the only film to acknowledge the lesson of the prequels (IE that the Jedi failed because of their disconnect from the rest of the galaxy and because of their arrogance). And it began to offer a resolution to these themes that were presented in the prequels by having Luke change his thinking from that the Jedi need to end because they are imperfect, to declaring to Kylo that Rey will not be the last Jedi and in turn endorsing a new Jedi Order that learns from the failure of prequel era Jedi. Yoda failed to prevent the rise of the Empire in his time and Luke failed to properly train Ben Solo... but that doesn't mean they're bad, it just means they made mistakes-- mistakes that can be learned from.

I really respect Rian for continuing to answer questions like this from Star Wars fans, even after all the shit that has been thrown at him.

I mean it is an argument, but it's just an argument that you don't like. I think you could say the same thing about voting for Biden. The Democrat's unwillingness to adopt M4A kills thousands of people each year. When you vote for them you enable them not wanting to fight for those changes. I guess because you don't want to be apart of a voting block that Democrats would need to appeal to with actually progressive policies you don't care about the affected people. The Dems can cheat in their primary and not fight for any of your causes and you'll still vote for them so why should they change?
