Can we talk about blowing up planets? (trigger warning for strat: I'm going to be critical)
Spoiler: show
When they blew up Alderaan, it wasn't hugely impactful considering it happens so early and we didn't really know the characters. But it was still a big deal. Like "OMG they just blew up a whole planet! Those monsters!"

But what is this? Like the eighth planet now? It wasn't even that hard to do. It's not even treated as a big deal in this one. The tech has advanced to the point where you can practically order a planet killer form Space Amazon for 20 space credits.

Does anyone else just get kinda sickened at this point? How does anyone function in this dystopic hellscape of a galaxy? This is no longer a fun world of high adventure. Its a horror movie.

I will give them credit for showing enough restraint to not reveal Finn as Lando's son. I know they were dying to pull that trigger.

I’d like an episode, if we got a show with various tales from the Star Wars universe.

Perhaps Jannah could be Finn’s long lost sister.

They are definitely gonna do that one. They don't have that much restraint.

Hey lads :wave:

Woooooh.

Wasn’t me for once :)


I’m happier my boys liked the films more than anything. It’s so much fun.
Out of my third watch. And it all gets softened on the edges the more you see. And you will see more :)

This all makes so much sense now as a trilogy. Honestly does.


‘Me too. Big secret.’ In tfa.
Mirror cave in tlj.

Yeah the plan is right there kids. Open up your eyes and let it in.

Also to your last point - uh probably when they burned Luke’s parents alive, slaughtered a geriatric man in front of others, blew up a planet, tortured a woman, slaughtered younglings?

I'll have to listen for Kanaan again. I really liked that character. Not to get off topic here but he always most embodied what I thought a Jedi should be.

But seriously, Disney Star Wars is committing so many genocides that it's getting closer to Warhammer 40k than Star Wars.

Mickey Mouse is bloodthirsty.
