Live a little

I think this will happen tonight heh heh 😏 all you have to get is an instant Friday thread

I am debating opening up 312 tabs and flooding the forum all at once.

What do you mean? 2,999,683

2,999,669...

Exactly... this has been part of the stories, comics, Clone Wars TV show, and overall Star Wars world for as long as I can remember.

Maybe to you. Don't push your moral compass on me please.

You are arguing semantics of a fictional universe. If we are going to do that then I will do you one better. There are no death stars. In Star Wars they contracted out. That has been established since the RPGs in the mid 80's.

Allow Kevin Smith to explain it for you...

Government bought weapons from the Stark Corporation... what was Tony prior to being Iron Man? An arms dealer.

Um... geek time... https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Arms_manufacturing_companies That's something that has been discussed in Star Wars since Return of the Jedi extensively in the Expanded Universe. (From computer games to novels throughout the inbetween years of ROTJ until TPM)

I really do read enough in regards to work. I don’t mind the bee-essing of the boards - but to sit down and “read” anything currently feels like a chore rather than enjoyment as of late. I am not even reading any comics as of late for similar reasons.

If I’m going to pick between the two I will take the movies on this one...

I’m in a meeting this morning where the person across from me is blatantly reading the newspaper. (Yeah really - print media - wtf) I should start watching the HP movies now.

It’s more a matter of investment of time than snobbery.

I’ve never seen nor read a Harry Potter installment. one day...

Very easy answer to that. Disney is pandering. Look at TFA. That was pandering and a revisit of “greatest hits.” Disney has no vision here and is pandering to what they think people want. I agree with comments that suggested that Kennedy should have emulated the Marvel way and said here is the playbook. You have to get from point A to B As we have outlined. Whether you take a train or a bus or a plane is up to you.

That was your experience and I do not doubt that. When the usuals were getting tickets like we do for most Marvel and SW movies the guys in my group echoed what I stated.

"You're" @ComicConnoisseur

On a side note they are talking about empathy in regards to human tragedy. I reminded her that we are sitting here in Brooklyn, New York, If someone kills themselves by jumping in front of the L train everyone is not going to feel compassion but anger that the person has made everyone late to work. For human bingo it would have been more entertaining to see who was involved in various crimes, or unscrupulous acts. We are having a good laugh at least.

I am in a meeting right now for team building playing 'human bingo.' If I do not respond it is because I slit my wrists to make a point.

There are MANY people that spoke out at Boyega being featured as a main character. Comments ranged from disappointing to sickening at how disgusting people can still be. Their posts are STILL available to see on the internet.

Iger's recent book revealed that he turned down Lucas' scripts and ideas. Disney wanted control according to Disney. Iger has admitted that the situation was not handled as well as it could have been.

Never addressed this. Sorry. "You think people didn't see Solo because Ford didn't star in it? I haven't heard that from a single person before right now." I think after we realized that there is a 14 year age difference between the two of us that you might see that there is a lot of truth to my statement... but... in my age group. To my generation, Ford is Solo. So I heard it from quite a few people that they had no interest in seeing anyone else play Han Solo other than Harrison Ford. It might be a generational thing though. "I think expecting escapism from the SJW/PC concepts of the real world is fair from moviegoers." Groan. Your Anti SJW/PC crusade has always been laughable at best but mind numbing at worst. Most of that is Hollywood finally recognizing that certain groups of people have not been included in the storymaking process and perhaps it is time to rectify that. Remember there was a time that people were screaming out about being forced to see African Americans on the silver screen because they didn't want that forced down their throat. Remember that people said that they did not want to see LGBTQ representation on screen because they didn't want forced down their throat. Well, these people exist and perhaps they should be a part of the story, especially in the Star Wars universe. You mean to tell me that in the entirety of the Star Wars universe there were only three POC in the original trilogy with them only in the last two movies but not the first? That is laughable. I am glad that things are changing. One of the greatest things I ever heard was an African American boy being excited by Miles Morales because it meant that he too could feel like he could be under the mask. Things are changing... and mostly for the better.

Go to my registry if you want to curse the hoard. Somehow I wound up with doubles of Superman 3, 15, and 32.
