Luke's lightsaber was green because it wouldn't have looked good against the blue sky in Return of the Jedi. That's it. That's the reason.

Not even the filmmakers get their panties in a twist over "the lore" like that.

Have you ever visited the Chinatown section in a major city?

Maybe it's because I didn't read the books but Inaro was underwhelming in general. Like I was supposed to care about how big of a threat he is but his character was so cartoonish.

Haven't watched the show yet but that's some Harry Potter looking shit.

As someone who grew up playing the games, I'd love for them to be remade. Trying to get younger kids to play Starcraft, Runescape, Halo is hard. They are so used to the products of today they can't get immersed and say it feels dated. I'd love for the current generation to experience these stories with the same investment that I had when I was a kid. And I get to play a different version if I want to. When some companies straight up remove the older version from the internet though, I can see why people get riled up.

I would like to see a "dear leader" type of Sith someday even though it goes against that philosophy. I'm a sucker for sci-fi dystopias so I'd like to see more stories like Andor; only a step further, where it feels like most of the galaxy is in support of the Empire(or whatever faction is in power) and you have a "evil corpo" kind of Sith in control. Thrawn is probably the closest you can get but I'd like a character who can tap into the Sith/force lore as well.

Uh what? Historian? The history of...where no man has gone before? Why would a biologist/chemist be on the bridge? They would be in a lab where they could actually employ their skills. Not saying Counselor is the best, but it's pretty obvious it's because of her abilities, not her title.

I'm all for some bullwork but it's bulwark.

You're gonna die some day. Just watch the shows you want, you're not taking food out of a director's mouth.

Nah that's a legitimately crazy stupid conclusion. The kind that your grandma makes and thinks computers are taking over the world. America is rotten to it's core. TikTok just holds up a mirror and shines a floodlight at it so you can consume more of that chaotic American juice.

I don't need a Chinese surveillance application to show me how fucked society is. I live and see it weekly. It'd be daily if I left the house more.
