I wish you wouldn't bring up TLJ at random intervals in order to poke the bear. We don't always get what we want unfortunately.

Pretty sure it's a power only light side users can possess.

Or do they have their own thing that they can do, because in Clone wars yoda saw a ghost esque thing of a long dead sith lord who talked to him at one point im near certain.

That was an illusion IIRC. Wasn't actually Bane.

I'll take that as a "No, I didn't really want to have a substantive discussion; I've just been having a go at you for a couple of pages to no real end."

Alright you know what, why dont you? Why dont you all throw each other on ignore, because this constant petty bickering every other page is fucking tiresome. Its the same stupid shit every time. I get that this is a discussion form but seriously come on.

Oh no no no, this is no where near as bad as all that stupid shit.

Just a frustrated (not solely due to this, some other stuff as well at the moment) comment from my part, didnt mean to sound hostile.

Yeah, ya know what's just as irritating? The constant unnecessary comments from other posters about how annoying the bickering is. We get it, you're irritated. Why don't you just, ya know, ignore it? You aren't a thread moderator.

Okay? But so far as I can tell (maybe I'm wrong, haven't been here that long) this happens every time some bickering starts. If the bickering was ignored the thread probably wouldn't burn down as much.

"Hey, that Ryloth trilogy we did was pretty good, wasn't it?"

"Yeah. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Are you thinking we should do a prequel with Jar Jar?"

"Hell, yeah! People love it when you do a prequel with Jar Jar!"

One bright spot was the line, "Gentlemen and, uh, gentlemen!" Was that a jab at Star Wars' gender balance? I think that was a jab at Star Wars' gender balance.

So now not only are we bickering, but in response to the bickering, we're now bickering about the proper response to bickering.

I feel like TCW looked at Jar-Jar, saw how much he annoyed people, and then brainstormed up ways to go even further over the top, to really dial his annoying nature up to 11/10.

Honestly, I really can't find it in me to be eager about a title, but that's about all we have to look forward to from this new movie tbh.

Unless you're talking about the newer Battlefront 2, in which case I have no comment.
