Seeing some real touristy takes that A New Hope is just “filler”.

I mean, putting aside the fact that it literally spawned the ENTIRE story, the movie introduces key characters and plot points, features the first defeat and beginning of the end of the Empire.

But sure Jan.

These days, if a troll starts that shit with TLJ, a flood of defenders will immediately come to its aid. With TROS, it just becomes a merciless pile on until everyone’s exhausted from the endless orgy of seeth.

The action figures are still way more interesting.

Notice how the more Grok learns, the more “woke” its offerings become?

That is until Elon gives it a digital lobotomy and it begins referring to itself as Mecha Hitler.

For those of us who actually adore all three of these films, it’s frustrating.

But, like The Acolyte and Solo, Lucasfilm seems more intent to forget about the ST and move on, rather than build on the many cool characters and expansive ideas that came out of it.

These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share.

I’m shocked they’ve been able to find 2 minutes of his life still undocumented.

Is this where we learn what laundry detergent he prefers?

Wait! Didn’t we just get an entire series exploring the 5 years leading directly into Rogue One?

I’m pretty sure it got a bit of press.

Perfect!

The new Soderbergh interview keeps THFBS in the media, which is a good thing. He’s reiterating sentiments previously shared on Bsky; now they’re presented to a larger audience for consumption by way of this publication. This should encourage us to keep going. #TheHuntForBenSolo

I think it’s very slowly being thawed.

But then we have to go through the hibernation sickness stage.

Day 14 of me just wishing for The Acolyte to be renewed.

With the excitement for new Star Wars, the chuds will be out in greater numbers trying to ruin it all.

Don’t let them.

We live in an age where hate has become the default, but people ARE starting to push back against it all.

Over the next few months it will get even more ferocious in Star Wars fandom as the chuds desperately try to bring it all down. Don’t let them.

TROS hate is literally the coldest take available on the internet.

It’s nothing more than lazy clout farming.

Block liberally.

After a decade of being lambasted for being a sequel fan, more than half a decade now of the planet hunting TROS fans purely for existing…

And topping it all off with a drought of sequel trilogy material that’s at its worst now…

As horrible as it is, sometimes I find it better staying cut off.

Yes. That is the true message of Star Wars.

Also, murdering younglings.

When the most prominent Star Wars YouTuber idolises Anakin Skywalker, this is not shocking to me.

It feels gatekeepe-y to say, but a lot of people seem to misunderstand the underlying text of Star Wars.

Always remember: there’s more of us.

Some toxic fan tagged me here to try to change my mind about TROS.

1. You’re gonna call TROS a crime? That’s an asinine label for a movie that ties back to the others with a big finale.

2. Also as a TROS fan who actually understands the movie, to you and the rest of the planet, GO FUCK YOURSELVES.

The biggest and only downside to The Mandalorian and Grogu is that Carl Weathers isn't gonna be in it. I miss him a lot and I'm gonna miss Greef Karga so much.

He was probably my favorite character from The Mandalorian fr.

Dennis nedry jurrasic park "see nobody cares" meme reads Hey everybody, this guy still posts on X! See? Everyone is horrified and disappointed. They feel it speaks directly to your values.

People who are too embarrassed to watch animation are confidentially and loudly calling Zeb a "glup shitto."

Zeb Orellios, a major protagonist of an animated series that ran for 4 seasons, an animated series was the first canon project of the Kennedy era, is not a glup shitto. You're just lazy.

Increasingly, I find that the *hottest* Star Wars takes tend to come from people who have no fucking idea about Star Wars.

Noted.

But what about technology that widens the social divide, reduces culture to a kind of digital sludge, and empowers the super wealthy to lean heavily into an increasingly fascistic and truly frightening world view?

What he meant was that it was THE company goal.

I think we are all underestimating the buzz that will happen when Star Wars Episode 10 is one day announced.

I wish they would.

I hate that Star Wars is owned by Disney. I hate that my iPhone is created by Apple, I hate that my preferred soft drink is bottled by Coca-Cola, and I hate that McMuffins are made at McDonalds.

Because I love all those things.
