    Yeah... Gross coward is just a wrong way to put it. And you're confusing cowardice and disillusionment. The latter is a thing. He's only human, not some Gary Stu who stays positive all the time and always does the legendary heroic thing. People get disillusioned, they get broken, they get...

    Yeah. That seems right. But the sort of twists and subverting we've seen in TLJ isn't anything new. The side trip to Canto Bight seemed somehow necessary to make Finn go from reluctant ally to fully fledged rebel scum (though they could have certainly handled it in another and better manner)...

    Movies Star Wars - The Thread

    The scrutiny around Anakin to me mostly seemed centred around badly written dialogue and bland acting. There was nothing along the lines of him breaking the franchise. Criticizing a character is one thing. Putting a negative label on them and accusing them of breaking the franchise is another...

    Rey is flawed though. She had a terribly unhealthy attachment to her traumatic and pathetic past throhghout most of TFA and even TLJ, bet everything on being able to turn Ben back (in her hubris) and failed miserably, couldn't actually bring Luke back with her (which would have been truly...

    Yes. Luke failed. And he was broken. He's only a man, not some Gary Stu who always stays positive and saves the day. And him learning about the hypocrisy and failures of the previous Jedi Order didn't help. Of course he was disillusioned with the flawed Jedi Order and thought it'd be best for...

    After re-watching TLJ a few times, I actually take back everything I said about the film. And I also feel like an idiot for jumping onto the bandwagon of hatred for TLJ. I also disagree with the notion that Luke was ruined. In fact, now that I sit down and think about it with a clear head, the...

    Watch TCW first. And don't watch in release order. I will give you a list which presents the series in proper chronological order. Everything makes more sense that way.

    I recommend seeing The Clone Wars before Rebels. Otherwise, you won't recognize some characters at all and will not understand some shit (such as the importance of the Ones of Mortis, who Death Watch and the Mandalorian Protectors are, why the hell Maul is alive, Nightsister Magic, etc).

    @Raven There weren't bad mods. The primary problem was toxic members who needed to be dealt with sooner and not allowed to become so bold as to become a gang that everyone was afraid of speaking about. The leniency of the mods was a secondary problem.

    Star Wars Rebels ended a year ago. Next month there is going to be a special screening at Star Wars Celebration for the one year anniversary of its ending. Also, The second half of Season 4 was phenomenal. It had some of the best writing and direction from Dave Filoni.

    I don't know what's going on, but this has me hyped. I shall provide the asked-for treats once I have viewed the episodes myself.

    Funny thing is that I haven't yet watched the last season of RWBY Chibi and haven't started the new one yet. I've been so fucking busy lately.
