Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.

This was about five pages back, but when Obi-Wan said he had the high ground, he was talking about the moral high ground. This noticeably runs counter to another quote by evil general Dark Helmet: "Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb."

Yes, Ron has Asperger's. It's just never mentioned in the books.

That's even dumber!

Also wanted point out that Bush's “Little Things” from their classic alt rock album 16 stone nails the “little a” rhetorical framing of the cats salami meme some 30 years before the meme's genesis.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Rose having her character almost completely abandoned in this one was because of all the hatred she got for daring to not be a white man.

As someone who participated it in during his dipshit phase, I do regret it... but at least I got out before the loving Nazis came in and took over.

Rise of the Skywalker loving owns. It's so precision-engineered to avoid offending anyone that you have to be actively trying to hate it or to love it. I'm reminded of a quote I don't know the source for-- "The Gods' cruellest punishment was when they would give man exactly what he wanted." And that's what Rise of the Skywalker is-- everything Star Wars fans thought they wanted, and now that they've got it I'm visibly watching many of them force themselves to grow the gently caress up and it's great.

It 100% was the same way they dialed back Jar Jar for Episode II.

This comic also loving owns because it came out over a year ago:

The Mandalorian is great and TFA, Rebels, Clone Wars and Rogue One all were great. Disney is doing a great job imo despite some stinkers.

Disney well on track at turning Star Wars into an okay but not tragic to watch series like Marvel movies, as a decline from its original Fury Road level of quality.

Honestly, this is the reason I hated Rise of Skywalker. I'm one of the ones that loved Last Jedi, and was very much there for something different. So to have this loud, barely coherent roller coaster ride of checking boxes finish everything off was disappointing as hell.
