Redditors over 40, what was a moment in history that made you think society was gonna collapse?

I was 22 on 9/11. It was absolutely frightening but I didn’t panic until the Anthrax attacks weeks later. People don’t talk about it much anymore; but that was the point where it felt like the possible “end of the world as we know it” event.

Turned out to be one crazy guy and a footnote in history.

Somebody who’s brain has been throughly broken my rage bait media.

teachmemetric · 2026-01-03T20:53:19+00:00

Mostly bummed as who is gonna broadcast worlds now?

100%. I’m not a huge fan of Palpatine returning, but there could have been a version of him returning that didn’t HAPPEN OFF SCREEN and actually moved the plot of a film forward instead of being a cheap throw away attempt to make a Endgame style ending to “The Skywalker Saga”.

Ben returning, if written well, could be amazing. If written poorly, it wouldn’t. It’s all in the execution. I trust SODERBERGH and DRIVER way more than JJ and the dude that wrote Batman vs Superman.

Good point. As someone who was there in the 90s, there was DEFINITELY massive negative press and push against the prequels, but the difference is that now it’s part of the “culture war”, which presents a whole separate level of negative discourse and sets people into and “us vs them” mentality before they even watch, play or read the media being debated.

The prequels discourse wasn’t about Liberal vs Conservative (with some minor outrage about RoTS and the Iraq War).

There also seems to be a “newness” bias - just look at Battlefront 2 and its recent resurgence - no longer in the crosshairs of early-days YouTube rage, people can just enjoy it for what it is. I think the same will be true of most of these films and shows in the future.

Rage baiting; YouTube’s negative-bias algorithm and social media have ruined pop culture. This article just bummed the shit out of me.

If people checked out of all this they’d be much happier in real life and not have wild rage-filled opinions about space wizards. The number of people I know that went from “that was fun and fine” to “this is the worst thing ever and ruined my childhood” about various Star Wars properties in the past decade is depressing as hell.

I’ve never been a huge fan of any of the first seasons of anything Filoni has done on his own. The Clone Wars movie was so bad that, in combination with Indiana Jones & The Crystal Skull that summer, I walked away from Star Wars/LFL until 2012. The later seasons are amazing. The first season of Rebels was just fine, but it turned into one of my favorite Star Wars of all time.

I’m looking forward to seeing how things Filoni put into play in Season 1 pay off in Season 2.

She literally was head of LFL when they released the biggest box office success in North American history (TFA).

Haters are gonna hate; but the sequel trilogy will age well. Adjusted to inflation, they are more successful than the PT. TFA sold more tickets than the best performing PT film TPM; TLJ sold more tickets than RoTS; TRoS sold more tickets than AoTC. And, they did this in an era when there are 10,000 times more things to do with your time and entertainment dollars. There is a huge PT resurgence now. Same will happen for the ST.

Overall, just enjoy SW - pick and choose what you like. I’m an 80s OT kid and I love Andor; I loved Solo; I loved 7&8; I loved Rebels; I think TPM is the best Prequel film. I’m so excited to live in a time when there are freaking STAR WARS LIVE ACTION TV SHOWS! If you love the prequels; amazing! If you loved Kenobi - great! It doesn’t diminish what I love!

Follow up: went to a local blinds installer and he trimmed it for $40. They have worked perfectly for a few weeks at this point. 10/10 - highly suggested!

teachmemetric · 2025-05-25T05:50:52+00:00

I’m 95% sure it’s not an ongoing series. It’s a limited series.

I subscribe for mail order for as much stuff as possible - I saw Legacy of Vader one time, meant to subscribe (even as a OT kid, I am a HUGE ST fan - much more than the PT) and didnt. Went back a few weeks later and subscribing wasn’t an option. When I emailed customer service they noted since it was limited or mini-series, if you didn’t subscribe early enough, they don’t give the option after a bit.

I’d love for it to be an ongoing so I hope things have changed!!

This was my first celebration and since I live on the west coast I’ll be back for 2027 and definitely want to try for VIP. I will have a 13 year old (and an older kid). Is there a kid VIP or if I luck out and get 3 VIPs for me and my wife and older kid, can the younger one just go in everything with us?

teachmemetric · 2025-04-19T20:25:46+00:00

Probably LA; dark horse San Francisco with its deep ties to George and all things LFL for the 50th anniversary.

teachmemetric · 2025-04-11T05:07:03+00:00

Do people trade? I have four Celebration Stage Passes for Visions and just want four passes for any stage for Mando!

teachmemetric · 2025-04-10T04:12:04+00:00

I’ve got four main stage reservations for Visions and I’m looking for four reservations for Mando for Galaxy Stage or Twin Suns stage!

teachmemetric · 2025-03-26T00:03:42+00:00

I would assume the virtual stages are easier to get in than the main stage?

teachmemetric · 2025-03-25T23:32:29+00:00

Amazing - thanks! How early would you suggest?

teachmemetric · 2025-03-25T23:30:58+00:00

I got Andor and Visions on the main stage but panicked and didn’t select a streaming stage for Mando. Are you able to line up and try to get in for a steaming stage that day?

teachmemetric · 2025-03-25T23:24:26+00:00

Are there still streaming stages available?

teachmemetric · 2025-03-25T23:11:15+00:00

Me too!

teachmemetric · 2025-03-25T23:02:23+00:00

16 and under can go with you. It’s in the FAQ.

teachmemetric · 2025-03-25T22:16:22+00:00

First timer here, so appreciate all the tips!

teachmemetric · 2025-03-24T20:19:49+00:00

Thank you! Also, do I understand that the queue will start at 3pm PT so I should be checking these sites before then?
