Then you saw a person with a really nice butt. Who wasn't doing anything.

Before I begin - lightsabers are an awesome fantasy weapon and I would love to have one.

Lightsabers are a big reason that Star Wars is garbage.

Hardly any lightsaber fights in the OT, used by all of three people (4 if you count Han, which I don't). Once the prequel trilogy was made and special effects were cheaper and easier, lightsabers everywhere, and instead of a lightsaber fight being an old fashioned samurai duel where the story and the fight are enhancing each other, now it's just a spectacle. Has it been more than fifteen minutes since we saw a lightsaber? FSSH, vwoom.

Andor is regarded as one of the better pieces of Star Wars media - no lightsabers, no Jedi, just people versus the machine of the Empire.

Mandalorian S1 was straight fire. Then they introduced the Darksaber. Now nobody likes Mando anymore.

I'm not out to yuck anyone's yum. You can like bad movies, or movies that are big tentpole spectacles but aren't ever going to engage with you mentally. I went and saw Episode IX in theaters opening night and it was as entertaining as Hobbs and Shaw. My brain didn't get anything out of it and it was good to see Palpatine again because he was the only one in the movie that felt like a real person with, you know, motivation and stuff. But I left the theater and I don't really think about it (except for times like now) because it didn't engage with me mentally. There was nothing there.

Just lightsabers.

Endless lightsabers.

I'm not crazy about all the callbacks and remember-mes either (looking at you Rogue One, Boba Fett, Solo, etc), but that's a different rant.

Honestly, I know you're probably just joking, but there are several times in recent memory where I've wished that you guys won that one.

Yes, well.. That's what she looks like when someone with rizz draws her. Or so I was told, anyway.

Here's a story I read once about something like this. It'd be amazing if it were true!

You'd think, but she is terrified of touching you until she can do it without burning you.

THAT WAS AN HEROIC EFFORT!

At this point, I'm choosing to believe that people are being willfully ignorant. The idea that these Nazis are going to hand power back willingly is a sick joke.

You and you and mostly me and you!

I'll bet you anything that that user hasn't posted anything in almost a week. Just a hunch.

This is the play for sure. I've seen a lot of discussion in the past few days about "what we need to do next time".

There IS no more "next time". There won't BE any more elections, there is no more turning this around. Millions of people stayed home crying about how the Democrats didn't do enough and even if they fucked up (they did), the people who stayed home and let the Nazis win fucked up worse.

Welcome to the Fourth Reich. We are well and truly fucked.

Block him, Squid. He's doing this in every thread and you need to put this energy towards more important things.
