For real. If being anywhere sci-fi adjacent on the internet means listening to everybody's super special and important take on why a Star Wars movie was bad and also Nazis are there, I'm just... I'm so tired. And I've gone from being a RedLetterMedia fan to wishing they'd never have popularized making GBS threads on Star Wars as being a whole personality people can have.

“It’s doesn’t do what I’m used to” is the most childish criticism. Every Star Wars movie does something the previous one didn’t (except the JJ ones).

Crossposting wholesomeness from the FFG RPG thread because Baby Yoda has gotten my own babies into The Star Wars in a way none of the films ever did:

Ran my kids through a truncated version of the EotE beginner module. Highlight was definitely an inspired use of the droid's meager deception pool by my 9-year-old.

"I tell the docking control officer I need her to release the clamps on the ship in docking bay? What was it... Auresh?"
"That's right. She says "And why should I do that?'"
"'I'm docking control droid 374. The ship has to leave in precisely 4.5 minutes.'"
"'But you look like a medical droid?'"
"'There's a very bad sickness on the ship, it needs to be quarantined.'"
"'I didn't get any Imperial Commerce Commision notification of quarantine-- but I don't want any sickness spreading here under my watch. What about the firefight we heard outside?'"
"'One of your security droids malfunctioned.'"

I gave her two advantage dice on the deceit roll because you gotta reward ad-libbing with the lie that well.

"Okay, I better shut the other one down remotely and do a full diagnostic."

The whole sound thing actually has an cannon explanation:

Your sensors'll give you an audio simulation for a rough idea of where those fighters are when they're not on your screen. It'll sound like they're right there in the turret with you.

Just pretend that scene isn't giving you the fighter pilot/gunner POV.

That scene was 100% anime.

Like, that's stuff I swear I remember from the old Macross. The moment of silence before a big explosion it's meant to make the whole thing extremely dramatic. And it was loving awesome. I was surprised of seeing something like that in Hollywood movie.

I do not wear this mask to protect me. I wear it to protect you from me.

TLJ was an episode of the 70's Battlestar Galactic in Star Wars drag. The sequels have been just awful and are almost an attack on the original movies. The Mandelorian is cool and good. The show plays in the Star Wars sandbox without being saddled with bad fan service or with the authors attempting to rewrite the rules of the SW universe.

It's not that everybody who doesn't like it are CHUDs. It's that CHUDs don't like it and have gone apoplectic over the inclusion of women and black people in Star Wars and have harassed its fans and actors and actresses off of the internet, so if you don't want to be associated with them, you kinda' have to say more than "that movie sucked," or you're gonna' get the side-eye.

Then there's the fact that troll farms, many Russian, were making GBS threads on the flick and siding with MRA douchebags and Nazis to sow division in America.

https://www.wired.com/story/star-wars-russian-trolls-study/

You can love Mad Men and Rick and Morty and Scarface and Boondock Saints and Joker and Wolf of Wall Street and Catcher in the Rye and Fight Club and all of the other things regressive douchebags love, but it's also up to you to make sure people know you're not one of the fans who love them for those reasons.
