One of my biggest complaints about TLJ was how poor the plot was. It's surprising because Rian Johnson has some of the best thought out plots in his other movies.
The slow speed chase didn't make sense, the ~~empire~~ first order could see they were heading to a planet. Finn and Rose had time to leave, go to another planet and come back without issue, why weren't they scattering parts of the fleet and people the whole time?
Worst, the entirety of the movie didn't move the plot forward. At the end of TFA Rey is a nascent Jedi searching for a place to fit in, Kylo is struggling with his path trying, Finn is trying to fit in and Poe is a hotshot pilot. At the end of TLJ no character advanced, they are all in the same spot.
I would have preferred if they did some really weird stuff, like Rey becomes Kylo's student to save everyone else. Will she redeem him or be corrupted? Will she be a double agent? What exactly are the goals of the first order? Can they be subverted into something good?
After TLJ I didn't care what was going to happen to anyone, and still don't.
I let me officers commit acts of terrorism once in a while, as a treat!
Star wars fans hate TFA for reasons that elude me.
I'm with you, TFA was cool. I wanted to know more about the knights of Ren. Kylo was interesting, here is a villain who is struggling with using the dark side, but is trying to commit to it. That's something we don't see ever. Finn was a neat character, and another new perspective.
I think the Rey hatred is actually misogyny. People don't lose their minds that Luke is best fighter pilot in the rebellion, but Rey uses the force in the "wrong" way and she's an unredeemable Mary Sue. I'm not one to cry discrimination, but the amount of venom targeted at the character implies something deeper.
I too gave up after TLJ, it seemed designed to make me stop caring about star wars.
Stargate is one of the strangest and best sci-fi TV series.
It starts with humans just losing all of the time and a tone that is too serious for its content. As the show goes on there are episodes where everyone where there is a fake TV show of SG-1 and the villains are actively afraid of the US military.
May I suggest a 3D printer and set of speed paints?
There is something awesome about being able to print up and paint the exact monster before the session.
It's a whole new world of terrain and tiles you don't bother using half the time.
I know I should be hyped about space, but I read better train control and don't have the capacity to care about space.
I always wonder if Iggy Pop asked to be on Star Trek or if someone called in a favor.
Jeffrey Combs is the result of those aliens from "the Chase".
No. That is simply untrue.
First, if you feel Bernie and Trump are both populists then that term means absolutely nothing.
Second, people don't go "I like this guy because he wants to tax the rich, have universal healthcare and wants to go regulations to help stop climate change," and then when that guy loses think "this other guy who acts nothing like the candidate I supported and has literally the opposite policies might hear me so I'm all in on him!"
This is a fiction made up to push to narrative that it isn't foreign propaganda.
Delta green is great.
I love how TTRPGs are the model for having a quality product means people will buy it. It's not difficult to pirate everything, and many systems are just flat out free. And yet I buy most of it.
