Starfleet Academy with a slam dunk season finale. 😭 Loved it.

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

Literally you:

For me, it’s the interpretation that makes things the most beautiful, fun, and rewarding. What Shmi gave the world in Anakin was not some cheat code — it was the beginning of a thing. The foundational building block of a lowercase F force that spent those decades earning balance AND maintaining it.

Exaaaactly. I agree completely. As a “Chosen Lineage” person, I am sending you a most vigorous high five.

Look, you don’t have a point here, and that’s fine. You’re mad, you’re bitter, etc. Whatever. I don’t give a fuck. But what you said was absurd, and you know it was absurd, and that’s why you’re picking on normal phrasing that we all use when we don’t actually know a person.

Be well, peace & love.

Nobody is saying that was good. I’m sure JJ regrets it. You can see how he tries to do good for various communities in his work with Geena Davis, where Bad Robot donates money, etc. I’m sure he’s had an arc with Jar Jar.

Still doesn’t change what you tried to push though. Outlandish and unhelpful.

In good faith, people know the difference. You can have wonderful, inclusive, and *correct* sociopolitical views, but still be in the wrong. Our side can still be immature, still throw tantrums, and still be unreasonable!

Anyone can be on the right side and still be a whiny clown. Sorry to say!

I made this point to someone once (after they went at me in DMs for my Kylo opinions), and their response was “oh so you’re comparing me to fandom menace types?”

A very convenient shield was accidentally created for people to act however they wanted, even if it resembled 1999-2005 behavior. 🤷🏻‍♂️

No, it wasn’t. Be serious for a second. Be a grown up. The entire world made jokes about that character, and some people grew up and learned, while others didn’t. He made a simple, tame, non-graphic joke about bones before *most* people knew any of the dark IRL details. Has he said it again? No.

Fuck yeah more anti A.I. lawsuits baby

Oh I didn’t realize JJ Abrams [checks notes, rereads post] endorsed calls for violence against George Lucas.

Do you have a source for that? Or are you just continuing to make shit up?

Also, you didn’t ask a clarifying question based on one detail — you tried to play “gotcha,” and it didn’t work.

Ummm don’t you think you’re just reading too much into it? lol

You are entitled to your opinions on the art — but you are not entitled to an environment in which we all just go along with things that are demonstrably not true. The fandom itself is not a fan fiction — it’s a conversation with things that exist! That we see! Like my homie Threepio making choices!

He’s being Threepio about it. It’s illegal! It’s related to scary things! And the “let’s do that” is clearly comedy.

But he is still a team member. The whole point of the scene is honoring him. Hence “you know the odds better than anyone,” and giving him a little speech. Still 100% his choice.

I’m sorry but I’m just not gonna do the whole “I made up a different movie/show in my mind” stuff anymore.

No, she didn’t stay on Tatooine at the end of the film.

No, Boba wasn’t “soft” in his show just because he used his brain.

No, Osha & Mae do not “undermine” Anakin.

Watch the material.

No, because when they introduce Threepio to the plan, it’s a memory bypass for translation purposes. When they know for sure that he’s gonna get wiped, he’s well aware of the risks of what Babu is gonna do, and he makes the choice to volunteer so that they can find the data, save Chewie, and win:

Remember how a 10-year-old Leia was able to process the fact that leadership in her time, and in her own family, was going to HAVE to do things differently, get their hands dirty, etc. because she was forced to witness the horrors that were going on beyond the confines of her everyday environment?

Remember when D-O warms up to Rey, specifically, because not only were they abused/traumatized by the same exact forces (Ochi, the Sith), but because she makes an active choice to respect his personal needs, boundaries, & identity? And in doing so, he opens up and becomes essential to their victory?

Remember when Bode said that the Imps “take something you love, and make it something you can't stand the sight of anymore?” And how the truth is that he, a survivor himself, turned against his own class, under the “for my family” illusion, and was left a hostage, with a cell masquerading as a home?

These two kids did okay. 😭❤️

Remember when Obi-Wan explained that because we all form a symbiont circle, what happens to one of us WILL affect the others? And remember how the ruling class had to embrace this idea, humble themselves, and cease its hostility toward the indigenous groups in order to defeat an armed corporation?

Remember how the citizens of At Attin were revealed to be governed by a computer that refused to inform them of the actual state of the galaxy? And remember how that computer crafted a worker bee society in which children got assessed for job stuff in elementary school, and nobody had actual dreams?

Remember when the original sin of The Acolyte stemmed from adults thinking they know what’s best for children, interventionist ideas, and the increased blending of church & state? Remember when nobody was listening to anyone, it got violent, and then an “I want freedom” weirdo showed up to benefit?

Remember when Kazuda Xiono went from “normal dude doing a job” to “refugee survivor of a genocide” in like 2 seconds, all because the government (including his own father) ignored the signs? BUT, do you also remember that he survived his experiences because of his neighbors and community action?

Remember when The Book of Boba Fett showed a hardened man learning empathy from indigenous peoples, and then later extending that same empathy to the local youth after they’d been taken advantage of by a resource-hoarding capitalist? And then they all resisted occupation together, in the streets?

Remember how Dooku made some legitimate points about the sad state of the government, and then a fascist got in his ear, twisted everything, and turned him into a puppet for the most dominant and overreaching regime of all? And the Separatists who claimed to want “freedom” were actually just this:

Remember how literally every single villain plot from 200+ years before the Skywalkers to the very final days of the First Order war ALL hinged on making people feel like they were alone and without allies? From the Stormwall, to isolating Anakin as a child, to hitting Hosnian, etc. All of them.
