Episode IX: The Rise Of Skywalker - Discussion * <strong><em>SPOILER THREAD</em></strong> *
Time

I don’t think protocol droids are programmed for that sort of thing. And even if you count Episode III, Threepio’s piloting skills probabaly got flushed along with all his other memories.
I think in the end Threepio and even Artoo are the witnesses to history who pass these stories on. Daniels can teach a replacement to wear the suit, (as has been done with Chewie) and do the voice a bit longer.

Episode IX: The Rise Of Skywalker - Discussion * <strong><em>SPOILER THREAD</em></strong> *
Time

Porgs are revealed to merely be the protrusion into our dimension of hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings who are actually bent on controlling the galaxy. The First Order and the Resistance reluctantly join forces to defeat them.

Rey and Kylo battle a giant Porg in the finale. Phasma returns only to be eaten by the giant Porg, who spits out her armor. Just when it seems they will lose to the giant Porg, Broom Boy™ saves the day.

Lando finally shows up at the very end, with a plausible explanation as to where the heck he’s been the past two movies.

Luke wakes up in a cold sweat safe and sound at his Jedi Knight school. The entire sequel trilogy revealed to be a bad dream. Millions of Star Wars fans take up hard drinking.

I think the flat Earth movement is secretly brilliant. Reading through the stuff on Twitter, for example, reads like a debate on any political matter. I have to think that the leaders(?) of the movement are in on the joke and it’s intended to be a proxy/parody of other debates of controversial matters. The real-life results (as shown in the poll) flow from that.

Given that one of those FE guys

How…dare you?

LOL! Sorry! Jedited

Given that one of those Flat Earther guys launched himself in a homemade rocket recently, I think risking life and limb is taking the joke a bit far.

I was surprised to see TFA airing on TNT this evening. I would think they would have promoted the heck out of it. I’m old enough to recall when it took a feature film three years to reach network tv.

Post date: 2018
TFA release: 2015

Again, I’m old and remember a time when big ass movies took three years minimum to reach “free” tv. It’s been two years three months since TFA came out.

The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg said Thursday the magazine was “parting ways” with newly hired conservative writer Kevin Williamson after fresh evidence emerged that he had endorsed hanging women who get abortions.

Goldberg had initially defended hiring Williamson from National Review despite complaints about his previous writing, some of which critics said was racially insensitive or offensive to transgender people. Much of the criticism involved a 2014 tweet that suggested women who had abortions “should face capital punishment, namely hanging.”

On Wednesday, the liberal research group Media Matters unearthed a podcast in which Williamson expressed the same position.

“The language he used in this podcast — and in my conversations with [Williamson] in recent days — made it clear that the original tweet did, in fact, represent his carefully considered view,” Goldberg told staff in a Thursday memo.

“The tweet was not merely an impulsive, decontextualized, heat-of-the-moment post, as Kevin had explained it,” Goldberg continued. “Furthermore, the language used in the podcast was callous and violent. This runs contrary to The Atlantic’s tradition of respectful, well-reasoned debate, and to the values of our workplace.”

Goldberg described Williamson — who joined last month after a decade at National Review — as “a gifted writer.” But Goldberg said he came to the conclusion “that The Atlantic is not the best fit for his talents, and so we are parting ways.”

Hahahaha, “not the best fit.” What a joke.

Hey, who hasn’t wished death on people that they disagree with? I have, and I do it on a much grander scale:

I hate everybody at the women’s march and I hate everybody at the march for life and I hope the ground splits open and all of them fall into the Earth. Sounds fair and unbiased to me.

In all seriousness, though, Kevin Williamson needs to stick to screenwriting. How he could he go from writing Scream to writing this nonsense?

Just when I was wondering if it was that Kevin Williamson…
