honorthegods: Friendly reminder…. Question everything you read on tumblr. Even my posts.* I’ve seen opinion presented as fact, quotes misattributed to philosophers who said no such thing, passages from modern novels presented as authentic incidents from ancient mythology, mislabled photos, and inaccurate historical dates…not to mention fake news about current events. Ask (politely) for sources. …

bai-xue: bi-biochemist: bai-xue: I just read an interesting comment on one of my posts that I thought merited a full response. I won’t share the name of the commenter for their privacy but here’s the part that struck me: I think Rian Johnson straight up butchered Luke’s character when he had him try to kill …

What Luke said about the Jedi’s legacy is failure is disheartening. I am disappointed that this was the direction that Disney/Lucasfilm wanted to take. We should’ve had a successful and thriving New Jedi Order, but no. They had to go again. This js why I’m sticking with Legends.

gffa: gffa: thewillowbends replied: gffa: I understand the impulse, it’s hard not to get angry about some of these things! But, truly, people who perceive them that way were probably going to perceive them that way no matter what TLJ gave us, so I’ve done my best to make my peace with it. Especially when the whole …
Here is my question how could the New Republic have allowed the First Order to become such threat to have allowed it to wipe it out did they not learn from previous mistakes the common theme in Star Wars has always been the good always fail and Luke’s jedi order failed just like the jedi order before it?
gffa: There is the out-of-universe explanation that the First Order was needed because they needed a new enemy for their movies, but I will grant that I think the supplementary canon has done a good job of showing how that came about. For all that the politics of Bloodline are terrible in some ways (”Centralized …
eleveun: ~ Howard Zinn “To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only …
goforcechokeyourself: EA will be taking out the ability to buy crates with in game money. Obviously they are trying to make people (a large majority of them don’t even own the game) happy.
