  • Well the prequels were supposed to be more of a condemnation of the original Jedi order. The Jedi were supposed to be these hypocritical religious zealots and Anakin was supposed to be drawn to the darkside because of that hypocrisy. It’s why he was “too old” to train because they wanted tiny minds to indoctrinate.

    All of this culminates into that penultimate line by Obi-Wan. It’s illustrating that hypocrisy.

    However Lucas has the directing chops and subtlety of cocaine bear and this all went flat. You see this more watching deleted scenes and reading some of the side content.











  • It’s a hard balance I agree. If advertisements weren’t so unusable on pages I’d be inclined to leave my ad block off.

    I pay for news before because I support having a well written journalism. But not everyone has that luxury.

    Journalism is expensive. But I don’t know if parasitic ads are the answer. I don’t want to compromise my privacy to read news.

    If someone can Crack that nut and come up with a 3rd option they’ll laugh their way to the bank.






  • Curious how old you are.

    For someone that’s been around the block a bit there hasn’t been a candidate that’s been so openly authoritarian about bypassing our democracy for his whims and punishing his political opponents in decades.

    2008 with Obama v McCain? Maybe you could make that argument. McCain was a patriot that loved his country even if we didn’t share the same views. Not Trump though. Trump has to be stopped.

    This is also just as a white guy.

    If you’re a women you’ve gone back in rights from 50 years ago.

    If you’re a minority Trump actively hates and oppresses you.

    If you’re gay Republicans actively works to disenfranchise and deny who you are.

    If you’re trans the meds you need are actively at risk.
