If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place

My partner and I just bought a moka pot, some espresso powder and cups. I usually don’t drink coffee, except for an occasional espresso, and we don’t have too much space in the kitchen, so we never bought a coffee machine, but she got tired of that instant coffe stuff, that she was using for the past years, that’s why we got the moka pot. So far, the first attempt was a failure, we had no idea what exactly to do and the result was very bitter, I guess we have to figure it out and try it a few more times. The only good thing coming out of it was that we found this tutorial.

Second attempt today. The coffe was less bitter, but now the damn pot is stuck and I can’t disassemble it anymore.

EDIT: Now my hand hurts from desperatrly trying to unscrew the pot.

Perhaps so, but you’re still a Star Wars fan of some kind. My point is you don’t have to like everything, or even most things, with the Star Wars name on it to be a Star Wars fan. Just like I don’t have to agree with everything America does to call myself an American.

Besides, I don’t think that applies to most members of this site. We call it Original Trilogy, not Original Movie, you know.

Frink didn’t say he was not a Star Wars fan he said he wasn’t a fan of it as a franchise.

Oh come on, no one on this site is not a Star Wars fan, whether you call yourself one or not. If you weren’t a fan you wouldn’t even care about practically anything discussed here. You might not be a fanboy, but you’re a fan.

You can be a fan of the movie Star Wars, that would make you a Star Wars fan, but it doesn’t mean you care about the whole franchise.

Yoda and Palpatine NEVER should have been given lightsabers.
Time

I like to think of lightsabers not as highly specialized Jedi weapons, but simply as being outdated, like real swords. They were once used by every army, but when blasters and other ranged weapons emerged, they stopped being used and were more like ceremonial weapons. Jedi Knights kept using them out of tradition and because their enhanced reaction made them still effective against modern blasters.
I think Palpatine should rely entirely on the Force to fight his opponents. I also don’t see how Maul necessarily needs to be trained in lightsaber combat by Palpatine, that’s a skill he could have picked up anywhere else. Neither Obi-Wan nor Yoda are shown to teach Luke about lightsaber duel techniques.
