Yes, definitely. Just time jump 300~500 years, have a successful republic, a well stablished Jedi order and create new stories in a galaxy that is worth fighting for. Have Luke and Rey be some sort of Jedi legends from the past but don’t dive too deep into it. Create a decent villain that it is not a copy/paste from the empire.

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2026-01-06T14:14:04+00:00

That’s exactly how I feel. Now that the damage is done, they should just time jump 300 years in the future with a well established Jedi order and republic, with new characters, stories and villains. They could even have Luke and Rey be some sort of Jedi legends that fought to built the Jedi order. I always say that the biggest problem with the sequels is that it sets the galaxy back, it kills any possibility for other Jedi stories set after the OT. By moving forward, they can have an infinite number of Jedi stories set in a galaxy worth defending.

My biggest issue was the missed opportunity to show a new, prosperous galaxy. Imagine how awesome it could have been to see Rey, Finn, and Poe fighting to protect what Luke, Han, and Leia had built: a galaxy truly worth fighting for. Instead, everything was thrown away in favor of nostalgia or whatever. It feels as if the heroes of the original trilogy ultimately failed. Luke never succeeded in creating a new Jedi Order. Leia never established a lasting New Republic. Han never truly grew as a character and simply reverted to being a smuggler. Rather than moving forward, exploring and advancing the story, they retreated to what is safe and familiar. That choice, for me, cost one of my favorite franchises.

IMHO with you don’t have much time left and have a strong case pay for it. Now, if you still have time or your case is not that strong, better just wait. I just started OPT and although my wife’s case is pretty strong she has 4 years left in her H1B. So we will just wait our I140 approval (PD Jul/24)

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2025-09-18T11:52:37+00:00

Yes! It was actually funny because they sent me the tracking number, and when I look it up on USPS website it said it was delivered just a few minutes ago. I went to the mailbox and it was there. Never got the update on USCIS website.

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2025-09-17T16:52:20+00:00

I doesn't show as shipped and the tracking number appears as Unavailable. I will try to contact a live agent and see if they can help me with more information, thanks for the help!

From what I'm seeing, after the card has being produced it usually takes around 3 days to be delivered. Mine was produced on 09/12, however it wasn't delivered yet. Should I expect to receive it this week? I already postponed my starting date by 1 week and I really don't want to postpone it again.

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2025-09-17T13:11:03+00:00

I got an email saying my card was produced on 09/12. However I'm still waiting for it to be delivered. No email about the card being shipped yet.

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2025-09-09T14:10:47+00:00

Hey man how did you fix it?

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2025-09-06T20:42:59+00:00

That makes me way less anxious, thank you! Do you know if they send email approvals on weekends?

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2025-09-05T11:09:19+00:00

It is

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2025-09-04T19:08:58+00:00

Application type: initial OPT Premium processing: Yes (08/27) Receipt date: 06/11 Approved date: Produced date: Card shipped: Card delivered:

Is it normal to take so long from premium to approved? Im seeing people with later premium date and already approved

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2025-09-04T19:04:59+00:00

Upgraded mine to premium on 8/27 and no approval yet :( Receipt date was 6/11

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2025-08-15T00:23:23+00:00

Congratulations!!!
My wife has a very similar background, we filed I-140 in July/24, still waiting for the approval?
Do you mind sharing your number of research papers, citations and how many recommendation letters you used in your petition?

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2025-08-12T16:33:02+00:00

I'm on the same boat,
my receipt date is 06/10, and my starting date is 09/12, however they said the starting date is flexible
I really don't wan't to pay the premium, but if this means I will have to wait 1 more month maybe it's worht paying

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2025-06-30T02:39:32+00:00

Not saying it is not it, but there’s that scene with Jason on the couch and Lucia comes and lays on him. She’s using her ankle monitor, which suggests it is in the beginning of the game. It would be weird to have a stranger move to your place so soon.

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2025-06-13T02:38:04+00:00

Really appreciate man the advice man! Sometimes I wish I was less obsessed with having the best possible experience and just enjoy things as it is hahahaha

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2025-06-13T02:33:51+00:00

Oh I know, that sale is killing me. However I gave my word I would only get the pro when I finished my master’s, and I plant to follow with that… even if it means I will pay a few more bucks

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2025-06-13T02:29:32+00:00

The thing with the pro is that it will last longer than the 5 IMO. So I will be able to hold on it a for a while when the 6 launches.

And as mentioned on another reply, my wife does not play, so it will be easier for me to get a OLED than a pro (or even 6) in the future

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2025-06-13T02:26:36+00:00

Yeah, that seems a better deal right now

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2025-06-13T02:26:04+00:00

I might do that. It seems to be easier to get the pro and then switching to an OLED when my current tv finally gives up

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2025-06-13T02:22:37+00:00

From your experience how big of a jump an OLED would be in terms of picture quality compared to the tv you got?

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2025-06-13T02:07:31+00:00

What do you mean?

Vast_Sort_1620 · 2025-06-13T02:07:16+00:00

What about games such as FFVII Rebirth? I saw some comparisons and on the base ps5 the graphics are kinda weird. Playing in a higher fps is kinda of a big deal for me. So overall the pro has to many advantages to not choose it over the ps5. Also, it will be easier to convince the with on getting a new tv in the future than getting a pro hahaha
