That can only mean one thing…the inundating of the radio airwaves with God awful Christmas songs. I love the Christmas season, but I loathe Christmas music.

I loath Christmas music out of season(and every other Christmas thing out of season). In season, I love it, most of it anyway.

You’re unwilling to Christmas?

It’s not Christmastime right now, though. Christmastime starts the day after Thanksgiving.

Ok.

No.

What kills me the most about Christmas music is the constant non-stop air play of the same 10 songs…argh!

There are way more than 10 Christmas songs, especially if you add in the religious Christmas music.

My wife dislikes most non-religious Christmas music. Especially ones that celebrate the winter season in general or the buying of gifts.

Dokay.

I’ve been playing Stardew Valley on Switch lately.

“So much for”?

Donald J. Trump never takes personal responsibility for anything unless it can make him money or make him feel even more self-important.

I’m so tired of Christmas music that I’m now tired of complaining about Christmas music.

I like Christmas music, but feel they should start AFTER THANKSGIVING…

But I loooathe those stop-animation Christmas cartoons that run every year on TV.

Ugh. No. Stop it.

No offense was intended. I just don’t really adhere to the “For Brutus is an honorable man” argument that Lee, by the honor we bestow on him, must have had some rock-and-a-hard-place motive.

When is Kashyyyk mentioned in the OT?!?

It’s not. Chewie’s home planet is not mentioned once.

I generally try not to read pots with more than five images in them.

Silly yhwx, you are supposed to put food in pots, not images.

Instructions unclear. Put raw chicken in a small flower pot.

How do we know that he actually felt this way at all?

…That’s a serious question, not a rhetorical one.

okay after several failed
and 1 partially successful 10 hour download I managed to get the HARMY DEEDVI V2.5 AVCHD MANUAL rar on my PC.
I then used 7-Zip to decompress it.

i got "headers Error: Wrong password?
and
Wamings:
There are some data after the end of the payload data
CRC failed : Wrong Password? : ROTJ v 2.5 AVCHH\ROTJ-DEAPECALIZER_V2.0_AVCHD.ISO

I wanted to see if it would work at all before I tryed to burn a disc

so I tryed to play the file with VLC
because that can play almost anything.

I can’t play it at all. What gives?

User error.

Well it is what I’m saying.

It’s the first I’m hearing about it but I’m quite out to lunch.

What I initially read.

That’s what I’m saying.

It baffles me why people hang around a Star Wars forum to then crap all over Star Wars. Yes, people have differing opinions and preferences toward different films/trilogies and toward the franchise as a whole, but there’s no need to steal other peoples’ enjoyment by picking apart how ludicrous (by real world standards) the story elements are of fantasy fiction.

Is there a version of these I can download rather than stream?

I prefer to put it on my Plex Server.

Then why can’t all the times Kylo isn’t being unquestionably evil just be thrown under “Ben Solo?” Why couldn’t someone say; “it wasn’t Kylo feeling the call of the light side, that was Ben Solo momentarily showing through. Kylo is 100% evil.”

Why do we need to stick to this silly idea of dichotomous personalities anyway? Clearly the films are looking to do something more interesting.

I loved when Kylo said “Your son is gone,” and you could tell he was putting on, saying it to prove it to himself as well as Han. He’s trying to play into that classic Vader dichotomy but clearly doesn’t fit. I’d much rather have this than the split personality.

Plot similarities don’t matter to me, the other stuff is far more important. When it comes to character, I prefer going for something new.

Actually, having this discussion has warmed me to this film. I need to watch it again.

Neither the OT nor the EU were butchered to conform to the Holiday Special or include “holidayisms”, so your argument is invalid.

Actually, your argument that their argument is invalid is invalid. Your bitterness does not objectively invalidate other peoples’ opinions.

You assume a lot of someone who doesn’t exist. You have no idea how they would respond to Star Wars or if they’d even ever like it at all. Such things can be influenced by you but you’re not the first nor last voice in the matter. My 2yo has her likes and dislikes, and they’re not all necessarily informed by me or my wife or American culture. She is who was born to be and I’m still figuring out who that is.

There is no indication that the First Order knows who Ren really is. Conversation about Han is left between Ren and Snoke.

Outside of the movie, I mean. Why couldn’t someone watching the movie say the above?

Because we don’t know their inner thoughts. The Sith, themselves, divorce themselves from their former lives. The indication that Vader and Anakin, or Ren and Ben, are two separate people is a trope that the characters in-universe use. They had to actually tell us they’re doing that. In fact, Obi-Wan also had to tell Luke this. One could say Obi-Wan was just straight up bullshitting Luke, but his one conversation with Luke in ROTJ isn’t the only evidence of people doing this or that more than just Obi-Wan felt this way about someone who became a Sith.

Personally, I think if anything the “there is no good or evil; everyone is flawed” trope that has been popular lately (The Walking Dead, Battlestar Galactica, ST:Discovery, Game of Thrones) has been overused.

There’s your problem. TV sucks.

No. I just don’t watch those shows. There are plenty of other shows I do watch that don’t run away with doing this all the time.

JEDIT: Oh, and Star Wars has had more than 4 evil dark side characters (eg. Asajj Ventress), if you include The Clone Wars or Rebels.

The same Ventress that went on to help Ahsoka?

Ventress has her own plans. Dooku and Palpatine left her out in the cold, so she did what she did to her own ends, not because it was the right thing to do.

my understanding of the Dark Side is that to become a master of the dark side of the Force—not just able to use it, but to control it and to bend it to your own will—becoming unquestionably evil is pretty much a requirement.

Does Vader fall under that?

Are you seriously asking if Vader is unquestionably evil?

Vader wasn’t unquestionably evil. He was pretty evil, but “there was still good in him.”

Star Wars seems to divorce students of the Dark Side from their former selves, from the perspectives of both Ben Kenobi and Vader himself (and Luke, now that I remember “It’s the name of your true self, you’ve only forgotten.”) That is, Vader was unquestionably evil—evil enough to hold Captain Raymus Antilles in the air by his head until his neck snapped under his own body weight, among other things—but the good that is Anakin is still buried in there somewhere. Once Anakin was redeemed, Vader was defeated.

If what you were asking was if Vader is able to control the Force itself and to manipulate it to his own designs, such a topic moves out of the films and into books. I haven’t read Vader-centric books like Lords of the Sith, for example, but Sith-centric books I have read (like the Darth Bane trilogy and Darth Plagueis) seem to suggest that to be lukewarm with the Dark Side is to be limited in one’s force abilities or their effectiveness. This is in part why Kylo Ren was only mediocre in his saber battle against Finn and Rey, for example. According to Darth Bane’s take on the Dark Side, Kylo Ren should have fueled his use of the Dark Side by focusing on the pain in his side from the blaster wound. The physical pain should have aided him, not hindered him, were he proficient enough with the dark side of the Force.

This right here is why ROTJ is puerile, simplistic crap and only a harbinger of the things to come with the prequels.

No. This is why Return of the Jedi is a classic adventure film.
