Ooooooo! I want one! My cats are big, though, and that thing would probably be destroyed in 5 seconds.

The Empire always worried about snub fighters and never focused on giant space cats like they should have.

Because they knew they would automatically lose.

The Dream of the Giant Fractal Woodlouse.
Time

Finally — a dream I call recall enough details from to describe in detail. Haven’t had one of those in a long while.

I was sitting in my 7th grade classroom, watching an episode from a new season of Friends. The episode was strange in that it wasn’t comedic at all; the tone was dead-serious, and the plot very bizarre; Monica was experiencing some weird Twilight Zone scenario where the world around her was transforming into one straight from a soap opera; even the look changed halfway through from a modern HD digital look to a worn-out, hazy, shot-on-video look. And David Arquette was the guest star.

Taking a break from the episode, I stepped out of the classroom, and found myself outside in my front yard. I wandered under a tree or into a field (or both at different times), where these tiny, mite-sized black widow spiders began swarming over me. They began feeding off of me, which started leaving me giddy and light-headed. After a minute or two, I returned back inside the classroom to continue watching Friends. I repeated this scenario several times, taking a break from the TV to go outside, allowing evermore spiders to feed off me. And art was imitating life; on Friends, Monica & co. were going outdoors, where they, too, were serving as smorgasbord to tiny mite-sized black widows.

In the end, everyone — myself included — were left desiccated husks drained dry of all fluids. I think I remained alive in this state.

‘Even as the cast felt overjoyed after the triumphant premiere of #TheLastJedi, the guy in the upper-left corner was already silently composing a mean-tweet about how he thought the movie SHOULD have been.’

No comment on Gwendoline Christie’s ghost peaking her head through the back wall?

Well, that’s it. Mueller can go home now. There’s no basis to any of it. Cue the pardons!

I have to subscribe to read the full article? Fuck off, WSJ.

WSJ? Who is that? btw, I could not read the whole article, it said something about have to sign in or sign up and I am not going to do that.

Warriors of Social Justice.

I think I saw that movie. Didn’t it have anthropomorphized kangaroos in it?

While I’ve washed my hands of the ST and all future SW films for the forseeable future, it’s hard for me to sympathize with these people. I’ll bet a sizable portion of them were the same smug, self-satisfied Lucas fanboys who mocked and heckled OOT purists just for wanting a proper restoration of the theatrical cuts. To that faction, I can only say: “Can you feel that, buddy‽”

Well one of these people is me and I want a OOT release, I liked the PT as a kid and still do with the right fan edit and I even liked TFA but I hate TLJ. So try categorising that 😉

“Non-standard non-purist”? 😛

I don’t doubt some of the signatories are the type of people you described but you can’t tar the entire group with the same brush as demonstrated above.

True. Still, I find the whole notion of creating a petition to strike a movie one doesn’t like from canon hopelessly immature and petulant. Now, I’m not a fan of official canon, and that’s been true since 2007; I don’t like most of the EU, I don’t like the SE or PT, and I don’t even like ROTJ. Yet never once did I entertain the notion of starting or signing a petition to get any of that decanonized; I’ve chucked out what I despise, replaced it with headcanon, and haven’t looked back since. If I can do it, they can do it.

tl;dr: These people have to get over themselves and stop treating official canon as something which actually matters.
