I have fond memories of TFA, but it is really funny that he said this and a decade later Revenge of the Sith had an incredibly successful rerelease while there’s been nothing for The Force Awakens.
‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ will wipe away memories of prequels: Simon Pegg

Checked in on Star Wars Twitter and it’s become a hive for Bantam era nostalgia and revisionism.

Unexpected, but not the worst thing I guess

The fact that there has generally been more excitement and discourse surrounding a script that Disney refused to make than there has for the “major motion picture” coming next summer feels like an obvious lesson than the company probably won’t learn.

Can National Novel Writing Month still be a thing? I know the NaNoWriMo org imploded (serves them right) but I still want to write stuff with peers in November.

Since being married, I’ve seen a number of live shows I never thought I would.

Sugar Ray
The 1975
The Linda Linda’s
Smashing Pumpkins

Tolkien hated Dune and Herbert hated Star Wars. Has Lucas ever complained about the “next big thing?”

So after The Clone Wars theatrical film and The Mandalorian & Grogu, will we get a third film to round out the Rotta the Hutt trilogy?

It’s nice seeing an image teasing the actual characters of a Star Wars movie instead of all the usual mystery box stuff that has characterized this past decade

Felt like mentioning that George Floyd had five children and two grandchildren.

During that Busta Rhymes performance, I kept waiting for the camera to cut to Taylor Swift doing her best to dance on the beat.

The VMAs broadcasting on CBS feels like a culmination of how bland and sanitized the award show has become.

I think the climax of “Wrong Fucking Place, Wrong Fucking Time” by @crobertcargill.bsky.social is the first time I remember audibly cheering while reading a book, at least in recent memory

Okay, I’ll bite. Who’s Taylor Swift?

On the other site, there was a post for a pre-school Avengers show on Disney Jr.

The first comment was someone asking Grok if it would be MCU canon.

Of the three MCU movies released this year, I did not expect Thunderbolts to be the best of them. Not a complaint, just surprising.

Personally, I’d rather have an Outlaws sequel novel

Losing Ozzy completely took me out of commission today

Not even noon and I’ve already listened to all of Don’t Touch The Glass and Chromakopia

Remember how less than a month ago, the United States invaded Los Angeles

A lot of celebs who are usually hocking their tequila brands are unusually quiet right now

I feel like the whole “Darth Vader would NEVER” take was a watershed moment for the Star Wars fandom

Posts of people speculating how Cassian Andor would have killed Han and Chewie after Yavin are refusing to see the creative potential of a frat house comedy called Melshi’s Place
