The ST is pretty shit, not gonna lie.

I don't think so. The acting was spot on, the art was beautiful and overall, I had fun with all of the movies. I liked Rise of Skywalker the best out of all three, but I love all of them. Well, Force awakens and Rise of Skywalker fully, Last Jedi half of. I'm one of very few people who loved the Finn Rose half and didn't realy like the ray skywalker part.

Any comment section on the st will have a bunch of whiners saying the sequels have been 'decanoned' etc.

To be clear, I didn't like 2/3rds of The Last Jedi and found Rise of Skywalker confounding but rather enjoyed The Force Awakens. But I'm not a fan of how self important fandom can get. Not liking something doesn't make you a crusader.


The self important fandom comes atleast partly from anti sjw echo chambers who fire up the more annoying parts of the fan base.

If you don't like the ST, thats fine but I'd say watch it first and don't just get your opinion told to you from youtube videos ranting about everything the ST does.

I think its more everyone stopped really caring about debating over it. The whole three years of debate ever since TLJ was just super tiring and all.

So I have been thinking about some of the force powers displayed in the book. Like how Avar and Elzar used the force to cause it to rain to cool down the power array or Avars ability to link Jedis mind together. I really hope we get to see more of that in the following books. Maybe something like pryokensis. That would be pretty cool.

Ugh, the anti-sjw folks are the worst. Just...the worst. Also, what the fuck sci fi (including Star Wars) have you been reading/watching that you don't think social issues are largely at the core of sci fi? Just...ugh.

You're entitled to your own opinion of course. Point was thought, its not just reach who dislikes them. i vehemently disagree with just about everything you wrote here.

I’m sorry but bottled craft sodas are infinitely superior to any of the above.

And in no way is more expensive soda a way of forcing myself to drink less

I didn't know. Looking into it, Dr Pepper and 7 up in the US are the manufacturer, but in other regions (Canada/ outside US) Dr Peper is manufactured by PepsiCo.

Also, Keurig is the owner of Dr pepper.

Dr Pepper is its own thing. It was created in 1885 out of Waco, Texas. Coca-Cola tried to purchase it in the past, but was blocked by the FTC on the grounds that it would have created a monopoly. The international branding rights to Dr Pepper are held by Coca-Cola however, while Pepsi holds those rights for 7 UP.

There are some pretty interesting theories on why Bo Katan didn't accept the darksaber. I think in one theory it is said that under her rule Mandalore fell making her an ineffective leader and thus she needs to prove herself in combat in order to be worthy to rule Mandalore again. Instead of it being given to her.
