Respectfully disagree. I was so geeked with that ending. It was a rare look at full strength Vader slaughtering without mercy.
I grew up knowing the Empire twist, his redemption in Jedi and watching young Anakin in the theaters. A nearly sympathetic character. So for me, it worked.

Fair. I personally loved The Dark Lord Trilogy novels and would enjoy seeing something in that vein come to the screen.

Undeniably best, at least for adults. They need to follow the formula for newer content. A drama/intrigue story is so much more interesting than rehashed characters and cartoony scenes.
Unless it's Vader. Give me more Vader, but make it an anti-hero action horror.

Good morning, Bluesky. Today is another writing day. I'm on draft two of my latest novel, and I feel the ending approaching. Disassociating from current events to focus on creativity has done wonders for my mental health.
Have a lovely day!

Never forget: there is more good in the world than evil. But you'll rarely hear about that in the news. Find your joy and embrace it.

Undoubtedly. This has been a massive blunder that has shaken American hegemony.
Americans don't remember a time when we weren't the dominant country, and have been fed a narrative that dominance is God's will, inevitable. But it's slipping away before our eyes. No, it's being given away.

Trump does not seem to understand China at all. Not that I'm an expert, but they are never going to give a bow down and kiss the boot type of response, much less a policy.

The GOP will eventually turn, just like last time, to save their hides. Their ultimate allegiance is to money and they will turn like a ballerina to whichever daddy gives them the best credit card.
But it will be far too late. Trump will pull everything down with him in a hateful tantrum.

Pope Francis was antithetical to Trumpism. His faithful have jeered and crooned all day. I don't doubt he's excited for the photo op.

Hegseth is dead man walking. Musk's influence is dropping faster than Tesla's stock price. But things won't get better even when these disasterous men are gone.
Trump is an anchor pulling America's greatness to dangerous, dark depths.
We can not slow down. Resistance is more important than ever.

Active resistance is good, even if short-lived.
What we really need to know is how his abuses of the judicial system will be reigned in. He has now circumvented, ignored, and diminished the two branches of government that are supposed to be checks of executive power.

I'm always down for runny fried eggs with the hottest pepper sauce I can find on top of a pair of heavily toasted brown sugar PopTarts. Any sweet breakfast carb is good, but brown sugar PopTarts are supreme.

If democratic voters blindly, loyally, and consistently voted for their nominee, Trump would not have been elected in 16 or 24.
Republicans fall in line every single time.
Democratic messaging is outdated and flawed. And too many Americans are too narrow-minded to realistically consider a woman.
