You’re probably right, but nobody wants them to win another Super Bowl.

I alternate just so I’m angering a different group of people every time I mention it.

I used to like italics a lot more than I do now.

Didn’t know there was a pteridologist here.

Here’s what Rian Johnson has to say about “Mary Poppins Leia”:

Rian, it was just very odd. She should be able to use the force, but my perception would’ve been that it would’ve been in a very limited capacity due to her focus on politics and not training with the force. That wasn’t some simple force jump she did.

Interesting. I guess the fact that she’s in zero G and that space offers no resistance meant (to me) that it wasn’t a big feat at all - kinda minimal, in fact.

Thanks for your response. I thought about that, but then I also thought about the what kind of physical torment that being in the cold vacuum of space would do when you’re trying to channel the force? How could she focus to do that much with little to no training?

Cause she’s a badass muthafucka.

Works fine for me.

Warb, it’s Friday.

There was stuff going in that three years.

Trump’s approval rating is the highest it’s been since October. For a brief amount of time yesterday, it reached above 40%.

A college professor with a messy desk might look to not have any organization, but there may be a rhyme and a rhythm to them that you can’t see.

That person looks to have an organization scheme.

I honestly am not getting what’s so gross here. There’s really no “clutter.”

I really should have them organized in more than two windows.

I currently have 49 browser tabs open.

Frink doesn’t like memes, Mr. kittykittyX.

So… government shutdown, anybody?

Rey and Kylo are seen (almost) touching hands via Force projection earlier in the movie, so obviously physical things can be transmitted via it too.

I actually didn’t think they could really touch when I saw that scene. It’s possible, but they were in each others minds.

I’m sure some convoluted fan explanation can be created. Maybe Luke is projecting sensations into people’s minds, and he can project fake images easily but fake sensations of touch are more difficult and have to be limited. There I fixed it.

I just feel that while the movie drops some hints that Luke isn’t really there, it drops others that he is so it’s not just a matter us not noticing the hints that are there.

You don’t have to creat a convoluted fan explanation. You just need to accept that very realistic Force projections can be created, and that it’s very difficult to do so (this one is obvious because Luke dies). Your convoluted fan theory already doesn’t work because C-3PO can see him and he’s not connected to the Force at all.

Just another fun thing, no one seems to talk about how Luke destroyed an entire hut with the wave of a hand (when Kylo and Rey were almost touching hands). That was also one of my favorite scenes. And I loves how he outclassed Rey with the stick too.

Yes, I agree with you on the hut scene. You think Luke outclassed Rey with the staff? I thought Luke eventually got cornered by Rey there. Interesting.

Unfortunately Rey just annoys me so much and that makes me so sad, because I’d be loving the new movies I think…

Really? Why? Rey’s supposed to be the protagonist there, the one you sympathize with. Luke is not supposed to be a sympathetic characer, at least in the first part of the movie.

Well I wasn’t fooled by fake Luke not even for a second, but didn’t know how he was doing what he was doing until revealed. Not only the footprints, but the haircut, hair color and lightsaber totally gave it away for me. That took tension away, which made it all a bit disappointing.

What tension? That he wouldn’t die? Wouldn’t the tension of that be cut anyway when the walkers don’t leave a scratch?

Not to mention, of course, that he does die.

Presumably tension would remain in the showdown with Kylo.

But I imagine most people were fooled, as I was, although confused about Luke’s different look.

I wasn’t fooled at all, but I was on the edge of my seat wondering what is Luke doing? and what is going to happen?.

The movie isn’t trying to fool anyone. All the evidence that something is up with Luke is on the screen. You either notice it or not. All I caught on to first time was the hair color.

Exactly. (The only person being “fooled” is Kylo, even though the truth is right in front of him and he’s to angry to see it.) Whether you notice or not doesn’t impact the scene’s power at all, which is basically my point.

It does change the surprise factor though. I was pretty surprised when I figured it out. I wouldn’t have liked that to have been taken away.
