  • I have a friend that grew up reading the Wheel of Time series. He talked it up a lot. I got through the first two books and couldn’t keep going. He said, “It gets really good at the end of book three. Book four is amazing. Books five, six, and seven are only okay. There’s a couple more that are really good, but the last book falls flat.”

    And I realized that’s probably how people that never watched Star Wars experience it after we recommend the movies to them. “This one specific movie is amazing, and those two are pretty okay. That one was good in its time and I like it for nostalgia. We didn’t talk about how the movie series ended. Want to watch the cartoons?”








  • Mine was Padme dressing in BDSM gear around the incel monk with an obvious crush on her, and then saying he made her uncomfortable when he started creeping on her

    Generally I think women should be able to wear what makes them feel pretty/empowered/safe without getting creeped on, but goddamn, read the room chica!

    Also, “I hate sand”. Kenobi H Christ, it’s awkward


  • that she could use the force

    Except she couldn’t. She was Force sensitive, but had no training and couldn’t “use” the Force. And he had no idea he had children until after ANH. If he felt any connection at all to Leia he could have easily dismissed it as knowing Bail during the Clone Wars and that her family connection to Bail.

    My actual biggest issue is that Mara Jade isn’t canon
