<strong>STAR WARS: REBELS</strong> (animated tv series) - a general discussion thread
Time

Another good episode this week (yesterday). really good story line going on. I do wonder if it bothers anyone to see two non-force users doing decent dueling with lightsabers. It didn’t really bother me, as i think it helps the show, in that it helps to develop the essence of being a Jedi beyond just being good with a lightsaber.

Fox news had a special on immigrants causing trouble in Sweden that apparently aired on Friday. Don’t you all just love how Trump keeps being pathetic?

A fascinating read about why some people thought it’d be a great idea to elect a meme as a president:

Interesting, but I am not sure if the characterization of basement dwellers is true or helpful. But certainly interesting, it’s the first time I have heard reference to the Trump voter who knows they are losing and wants to “turn into the skid” as the author kept stating. I haven’t seen these types of people in my experience, so I can’t help but doubt they exist.

I enjoyed La La Land. Found it quite charming but I don’t think it quite deserves all of the lavish praise it’s been getting.

This is probably because I went on a Fred Astaire binge a couple years back, but I found La La Land’s execution quite clumsy a lot of the time.

It was a decent effort and I hope it leads to at least a small revival of the genre. Though hopefully they’ll strive to match the artistry and skill of the past in the future.

Just saw it last night with my wife, and I would say we both thought it was really great and fun, but not as good as everyone seemed to make it sound. I felt like the singing and overall choreography for the first few scenes felt clumsy and not very professional, but the movie picked up and had some really great moments.

Ignore this is Cosmo for some reason:

http://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a8878322/trum-racism-question-electoral-college/

Reporter: Since your election campaign, and even after your victory, we’ve seen a sharp rise in anti-semitic incidents across the United States. And I wonder what do you say to those among the Jewish community in the States and in Israel, and maybe around the world, who believe and feel that your administration is playing with xenophobia and maybe racist tones?

Trump: I just want to say that we are very honored by the victory that we had. 306 electoral college votes. We were not supposed to crack 220. [to Netanyahu] You know that, right? There was no way to 221. But then they said there’s no way to 270. And there’s tremendous enthusiasm out there. I will say that we are going to have peace in this country.

He then goes on to babble about how all violence is bad and he knows Jewish people.

I listened to that whole thing live on the radio. babble is a great way to describe anything that comes out of Trump’s mouth.

It just dawned on me that Vader’s confrontation with Ahsoka is only 7 years before RotJ. He ages a ton in those 7 years.

I think having the young, unscarred face behind the mask was an artistic license so that we get the emotional response we want from Ashoka.

probably. however that makes me wonder if we will get an ‘event’ that ages Vader at some point in this or another series. (unless there already is a cannon explanation that i don’t know or can’t think of right now)

Immigration laws are there for a reason, yes, and I agree with the reason. But breaking them is not so heinous a crime as murder or rape, or even assault or theft. Saying it’s their fault for being stigmatized is just blaming the victim. These people have lived a tough life. Do you think it was easy for them to leave their country and come here? Just because they broke the law doesn’t mean we should treat them like criminals. I would say that yes you are falling into a trap of rigidity of thought and making blanket judgements. I break the law nearly every day by jaywalking but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be allowed to cross the street. And so why deportation can be such an overly harsh punishment. When I say these people are citizens of the land they call home, I mean just because they don’t have papers doesn’t mean they don’t live here. That woman who was deported has lived in America longer than I have. But she wasn’t as fortunate as I.

Yes

Justice and mercy. Nothing else to say really.

^I’d love to see you try your hand at his job and see how much better you would do. Knowing how you are here all I can see you doing is calling everyone “p#$%y grabbers” from behind the podium while wearing a crappy version of that wig in your avatar and tossing out copies of your fan-edits.

LOL

LOL

silly americans, expecting a top level goverment person to be better than random person on the internet.

LOL

double standards

😉

JEDIT: sorry if that came off a bit jerkish, i was blowing off some steam, and probably should have held back. but i am a bit sick of being told that one can’t complain about our leaders and their (public) servant.

I can’t believe this is even a discussion.

Hey I’m just trying to prove that I am having a discussion and not just ignoring crazy comments.

You can’t have a discussion with crazy comments. I mean, I guess you can, but not a rational discussion…so what’s the point?

I don’t know I’m just trying to figure out where fo is coming from
