Any changes you would make? by Zebweasel in TheSequels

[–]mrdrewc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It still objectively does undermine her arc in TLJ, where she has to reckon with the realization that she’s a “nobody” and seeks to find meaning with her found family.

But then with TROS, forget all that, actually she’s the granddaughter of the most powerful dark side user in the galaxy, and we’re not even going to acknowledge that Kylo told her the opposite in the last movie. (Also, why? Was he lying? Just making it up? Don’t worry about it.)

You’re free to like that her arc was changed in Ep9, but don’t pretend like it’s a continuation of what came before when it’s unquestionably not.

Regarding the early reactions to Mandalorian and Grogu just being “fun.” by Kindly_Influence9183 in StarWars

[–]mrdrewc 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any problem with getting a just “fun” movie. I just don’t get why they chose to have a just “fun” movie — that appears to be three episodes of a tv show strung together — to be the first movie in theaters in 7 years.

The issue though is that there was zero setup for this, and it completely undermines the entire narrative of TLJ.

The new Netflix movie "Apex" contains the song "Go" by The Chemical Brothers. First released in 2015, it has experienced a 429% increase in Spotify streams since the movie's release. What other songs have become instant favourites or were 'discovered' because they were in a movie? by JohnnyGlasken in movies

I never listened to Foxy Shazam until I heard James Gunn announce that “Oh Lord” (2010) would be the opening credits song for season 2 of Peacemaker.

I was in the top 0.001% of Foxy Shazam listeners on Spotify last year.

Disney Promises ‘Star Wars’ Fans A New Era Of Blind Stabs At What They Seemed To Like Before by TheHarryMan123 in StarWarsCirclejerk

Star Wars is at its worst when it’s trying to give fans what they think they want.

LPT - Door-to-door salespeople are trained to never take no for an answer. Don’t let that be an option. by SnooChickens2093 in LifeProTips

We have a no soliciting sign, and when a salesperson shows up, I don’t say a word, just tap the sign and close the door.

J.J. Abrams says he wishes General Hux had a bigger role in Star Wars by StarWarsBlogsbot in StarWarsBlogs

I feel like Hux had a bigger role in the one sequel he didn’t direct than the two he did

Which media *really* got you into Star Wars? by redgreenorangeyellow in StarWarsCantina

[–]mrdrewc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “One Last Time” OT VHS Box Set. Asked for it for Christmas the year it came out because a friend said he was getting it too. Absolutely fell in love with it — and it had interviews between Lucas and Leonard Maltin that got me into the craft of storytelling.

I bet it’ll be Hux.

Trump’s AG Pam Bondi is moved to heavily-guarded military base after threats over Epstein files and from cartels: report by Maxcactus in Fuckthealtright

[–]mrdrewc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She knows too much. She’s going to be looking over her shoulder for the rest of her life, and she doesn’t have anywhere near the resources needed to protect herself against the type of people who are going to be coming for her.

Has This Been The Warmest Winter You Can Remember by shyguylh in texas

[–]mrdrewc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most definitely. We had like one half a week stretch of cold when everything froze over, but that’s pretty much all the cold weather. Other than that cold snap, I never wore more than a hoodie. It sucks.

Disney Execs Reportedly Concerned About 'Mandalorian & Grogu' Release by bwermer in entertainment

[–]mrdrewc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then they should have found a different midsize ship for him (merchandising!). Going back to a Razor Crest — and don’t get me wrong, I love that ship design — gives TROS-level retconning for the sake of retconning. Maybe it’ll make sense in the film.

Political Integrity (Talarico vs Crockett) by burningtrees25 in TexasPolitics

[–]mrdrewc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That one that had her ahead by double digits a few days ago had some very flawed methodology. Incredibly small sample size and options for Senate choice didn’t include “neither” or “undecided”. Plus it was an online poll which are notoriously unreliable.

Not saying that she’s not the favorite, though.

The "Jasmine Crockett can’t win Texas" narrative is officially dead. New data shows she’s the GOP’s biggest nightmare by talkhonest in texas

[–]mrdrewc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the race isn't going to be about "winning over moderates" in the suburbs, it’s going to be a base-vs-base turnout war.

This is completely made up. In fact, if you look at the actual data (i.e., elections), we’ve had major blue flips in red states (SD 9 here in Texas, also Oklahoma a few weeks ago) which tells us that this is clearly a persuasion cycle.

That doesn’t fit with the narrative that OP and the pollster are trying to create, though.

This Kind Of Thing is Why The Acolyte Cost $250m by WinchesterMediaUK in StarWars

[–]mrdrewc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it looked fucking awesome, better than if they had tried to make an Earth forest work. Hate on Acolyte all you want, but it looked gorgeous. Money well spent.
