I would have been SO MAD if this had happened back then, the YJK series is so bad they actually let it go out of print before Legends became Legends. (Actual attribution for this info in the comments.)

hey did you know that twitter was never "the global town square?" it was never one of the biggest or coolest social media sites, it was just where journos and other wordcels and some celebs hung out so it became fodder for lazy news sites writing up stories based on some guy tweeting something

If you’re an elected Democrat and you can’t point at what ICE is doing right now and say clearly “this is wrong,” then get out of politics immediately.

I’m gonna need the youths to move past this 2016 nostalgia train as soon as possible because that year was… Not it. The vibes were rancid.

Kathleen Kennedy is indeed stepping down from Lucasfilm, Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan are taking over and I remain at shrug. (Now I remember why I stopped doing this.) www.starwars.com/news/lucasfi...

it matters that this is what was said to a man immediately before he decided to murder her

The irate #StarWars blog goblin in my heart would like to remind folks that the “news” that Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down to be replaced by Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan originates in a “prediction” column. It could be true, but it could also just be nothing like the past thousand times.

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

Regardless of what the streets are saying, MTV has not shut down, though it still remains not so much about music. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

I keep seeing things from folks who are reading/rereading the late EU and I have happily forgotten… So much. I always knew that the sequel trilogy taking a faceplant did NOT make any of that mess any better, but it’s nice to know that newbies can see that too.

I don’t think there’s any reality where Episode IX turned out well. Evading this mess of a script got us the cowardly throw-it-at-the-wall of TROS, but if they’d delayed it (as they should) then COVID would have struck and… I don’t know. A cursed production.

How much could a Christmas bag of threats cost, Michael?

Working on accepting that I am not going to read 100 books this year.

Poe’s “Who talks first?” Is when I knew we were BACK and it was such a relief.

Fandom has this glaring blindspot that the General Audience dwarfs them by factors of magnitude. The GA is taking their kids to see "The Baby Yoda Movie". They don't care about lore. They're going to see it once, have fun, buy toys, and move on. And it's going to make so much money.

Sometimes I think about how as a college student I once drove to Milwaukee with no directions (a place I had been exactly once before) because I remembered what the exit looked like and now there is a screen in my car that is constantly telling me how to get home at all times.

The two major effects of my grandparents leaving Canada for the U.S. are that we basically don’t really do Thanksgiving and I call rain gutters “eavestroughs” and I find that very funny.

More Ron Moore AOL fan interactions from the 90s. The first one deals with fan entitlement - the delusion that every true fan believes as they do and that they have ownership over the show because they care so much.

If you ever see me ranking all the Star Wars movies please know I have done so against my will. (Not because I don’t think there’s a WIDE variety in quality but because I find it extremely tedious.)

My first thought when I saw this was Bell narrating the story as Mary Magdalene as Gossip Girl, which honestly would kinda slap.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Yeah I looked upon Cthulhu's dread visage and I was fine. Big octopus on a man's body. Not exactly "difficult to comprehend." Maybe you guys should go outside more idk

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

You know what weird insignificant Star Wars sequel trilogy detail I badly want to know? If Harrison Ford really did insist that Kylo Ren’s real name be Ben, what was it BEFORE that? Was it Bail? (Not Jacen, because that sucked in ‘93, sorry Tim.) Did they even have an original choice?

I hear it’s some sort of Black Cat Day so here is mine (and his void-adjacent sister.)

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I’m not a Trekkie but I’ve done enough basic research into the Star Trek fandom to know women basically invented it, and are why the show even continued to exist. This kind of writing is part of institutional sexism that denies women’s accomplishments and role in history and it infuriates me

again this is just how the concept of linear time works

The two biggest missed opportunities of the sequels are both ideas that could still work post-TROS with a bit of creativity: 1. Active and extended Ben Solo redemption. 2. A stormtrooper rebellion led and/or inspired by Finn. Disney execs need to get off YouTube and listen to actual creatives.

Adam Driver and Steven Soderbergh were going to team up to make a Kylo Ren/Ben Solo movie written by Scott Z Burns. Lucasfilm loved it. Disney executives killed it.

I don’t know if the library systems can even edit the descriptions but why am I seeing hardcover details for an eBook? It’s completely irrelevant and this is at least the second time I’ve seen it in Libby.

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

Seeing the bros flip out about a woman being prominent in a Star War for the 12 billionth time.

The sentient Halloween decorations want attention, but not too much attention. (Unless they do!) They are deeply intrigued when a single piece of furniture is moved. They have established a secret lair in the basement.

I maintain this is the greatest cultural achievement of my lifetime. First ones to it, funniest thing I’ve ever read. And that cake headline made me bawl. A thing I will never forget.

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

So while I’m not thrilled that the explosion of romantasy means I’m actually reading more male authors, I am quite pleased to discover Robert Jackson Bennett. (Loved the two Shadow of the Leviathan books; Now halfway through Foundryside.)

A reminder that "But what if people on YOUR side are on the Epstein list?" is a bullshit argument, EVERYONE who was raping children needs to get into the bin right now, that's the deal here and it ain't exactly complicated

I have just signed an Executive Order requiring that “Lapti Nek” be returned to the Jabba’s palace sequence in Return of the Jedi.

Them: “Cities are all rotting hellscapes!” Cities:

A #StarWars movie is actually happening? Like, for real and in production. Not rewarmed Disney+ nachos! And... Amy Adams is in it? Okay! www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

Can't even build death star anymore, because of ewok

The Rise of Skywalker really is the How I Met Your Mother (or GOT) finale of movies, isn’t it? Damn.

They forgot because the third movie absolutely failed to stick the landing, and when it comes to longevity, last impressions matter search.app/PU48s

"It's not MSNBC anymore, Lemon. It's MS NOW. We bought the name off of a defunct multiple sclerosis awareness organization. It wasn't cheap, but we were able to save some money by selling Brian Williams to a Saudi prince who wanted to expand his harem."

Slightly diminish a band: Florence and the Device

Is every male cast member of this film gonna be someone heavily rumored during the ST? Or am (was) I just too online during that era?
