the crimes of george lucas ('90s on)

Damn it, should have double-checked that gif

nah that gif seems v thread-appropriate tbh

That cup is where he keeps his whill

Not directly SW related but this is the most relevant thread I can find: The redlettermedia review of the latest Marvel movie calls Brie Larson a virtue-signalling, sexist, racist bitch for saying that most movie critics are white men. The critics of the Plinkett reviews were right -- they are awful people.

Not surprised.

Few phrases are as inadvertently self-descriptive as 'virtue-signalling' (see also: 'social justice warrior' as a pejorative). Like when you start to casually malign aspirational behavior I think you technically qualify for villain status.

I have zero reason to watch the narrative video version of clickbait that passes for commentary on youtube

a few years ago I watched a few short clips doing that sort of thing and it was entertaining as a one-off novelty but everything's gone down the path of "this movie is a failure because it has a political agenda" or "top ten plot holes!" where a plot hole is anything that has an implied offscreen action that wasn't spoon-fed to the viewers

I just saw a 'May the Fourth be With You' sign in the window of a funeral directors.

xp: it is the world's worst promotional tie-in product ever; a giant lollipop shaped like a tongue in a case shaped like Jar-Jar's head with a plunger on the back you have to push in to make it open, meaning that eating the lollipop requires french-kissing a Jar-Jar Binks toy

I have a still-unopened one of these buried somewhere in a pile of junk in my house, because when I saw that thing it was just too hilarious for me not to purchase it
