Hard disagree on the character arcs. Luke's arc was terrible. He is completely different than he was at the end of return, and thats ok if you can show how it happened. But it wasn't really shown just told. The flash back scene with kylo just shows the culmination of this supposed change. We take the guy who would not kill the most evil man when everyone is telling him to because he thinks he can be redeemed, and then go to yeah I had a bad vision I thought we should kill this kid. That's a jarring change.

If they wanted to set kylo up as the bad guy, the character arc needed more work.

I think red letter put it best on the character arcs poes arc was to learn to blindly obey authority. Finns arc was that nothing he did matters at all and that you should not sacrifice yourself in war.

And I think there is an argument to make that the rRse of Skywalker is in part bad because TLJ was badly written as a middle film. It took payoffs that arguably should be in the final film for itself in an attempt to be different and new. It does not really continue the plot for a third film. The whole movie seemed to jump from moment to moment Rian thought would be cool and did not consider really how to get there. That's why there are all these consistency issues in lore/suspension of disbelief, theme, tone. If we are building a staircase and in the middle we take the parts for the end of the staircase to try and now make it a spiral staircase I don't care how pretty it looks or impressive the craftsman ship it does not get me to where I need to go.

I think Rian swung for the fences and I appreciate the attempt but he struck out.

They did not lose the law suit but they were going to. They settled instead. A defamation lawsuit is easy to defend against if you have not blatantly lied, but it was so clear they lied they knew they had no chance. I believe they settled for the biggest monetary settlement ever for defamation. I also believe that's why they let Tucker Carlson go.

If the post is in all it's in the public forum You don't get to have your safe space in the public forum. If you say something in public then be prepared. If you want to reach the public because of higher traffic does not mean you can tell people not to respond. I know that people will argue that it's not fair but it gives off sealioning, im not touching you vibes.

A lot of issues have become issues because companies and the government have made it impossible for good lawyers to work and make a living. Pardon the terrible but true pun A legal aids for legal aid.

My friend just became a locksmith. It has opened a lot of doors for him.

I assume they are going to be given the rank of commissar.

....That takes money from the tax payers in the forms of grants and contracts (that it has not fulfilled).

Don't think he did. It would be too much of a pain in the butt

Came here to say the same thing.

I wish soft launching a dictatorship was insane. He has soft launched all the atrocities before this. Always starts as a joke or suggestion... Until it's not. Now here we are. This soft launch will takes all the outrage of this move and diffuse it through time and the fire hose of all the other terrible things to happen before the the next presidental election... Assuming we will have one at all.

Would "since then"be a certain point on?
