Yeah I read a few Goosebumps books recently as well, they suck. Every single plotpoint is so cringeworthy and the stories are way too predictable. I never found them to be scary as a kid either. But that’s just my opinion, the books still sell like crazy so good on Stine for milking so much money out of it

Smithers' Prequel Fanedits (a Work In Progress)

I don’t think I’ve mentioned this before so I thought I’d post an update.

TPM will also contain a few scenes from AOTC to introduce the clones way earlier. The clone wars will start at the end as a response to the Federation’s attacks. You will see one or two more politics scenes but they will be interesting and contribute to the story, you will also see the clone army being prepared for war twice. Hopefully it’ll blend well with the rest of the film

Jar Jar is meant to be laughable so I don’t know why you hold that against him.

Maybe his existence is laughable. He doesn’t succeed in making the audience like him and laugh at his “comedy”

Jake Lloyd does an excellent job. If you dislike kid Anakin I suspect it’s because you dislike kids in general, rather than anything about his performance or dialogue.

I don’t think you’ve ever heard a kid speak before

Ahmed Best does not himself consider Jar Jar racist so why should you? Lame, below the belt jab.

I agree, I don’t see what’s racist about Jar Jar, although he is still the worst

Midichlorians were introduced in 1978 as part of the guidelines for EU novel authors.

Yes, and the first EU novel also had Luke and Vader both trying to find a crystal, some concepts don’t work well in the SW universe even if they’re old ideas

I don’t understand how anyone would believe that vaccines would cause autism. Autism is something you’re born with, just like any other disorder. The idea that completely normal kids are “catching”/“getting” autism by getting vaccinations that the government has been using for years is ridiculous. Today’s parents are refusing to give their children vaccinations because of these stupid statements and now kids are getting sicknesses that we haven’t seen in years such as measles and polio. The whole thing is stupid, stupider than documentaries such as Fahrenheit 9/11 because this is actually getting children hurt and sick.

The music ending later would make the death less predictable, thus invoking a surprise, thus invoking emotion

I didn’t think you were talking about the music in this post:

Could you also make the reveal of Kylo Ren being Han’s son a reveal? I think it would give the Han/Kylo scene more emotion.

my apologies

Oh oops, I thought you were referring to my earlier post, but the same applies to the reveal that Kylo is Han’s son
