Well, the ultrasound showed that the baby was leaning Republican, so ...

This does not make sense. Are you saying that the ideas (or lack of ideas) of the prequels are what contributed to the problems of modern Star Wars?

The prequels had flaws, but ideas and worldbuilding were the least of them. Say what you will about the bad dialogue and directing choices, the prequels at least attempted to tell a fresh story that expanded the universe, and didn't just rely on nostalgia.

George Lucas could have just made another OT-style adventure, but he deliberately chose not to. He could have used more practical sets and effects, but he wanted to push the medium. He made a lot of mistakes, but he also laid the foundation for future stories to take place in the universe he built.

If anything, one of the big problems with modern Star Wars is when they ignore that foundation. Writers and directors are concerned with putting their creative stamp on things, which leads to incoherence.

Schwing!

You didn't have to interview? I had to go to through three interviews!

I'd love to get an interview. All I get are rejection emails.

You guys are getting responses?

2020 in a nutshell

I can't even begin to imagine the life experience and mental gymnastics it would take to still be undecided at this point.

His base supporters, I get. They want a dictator. They don't care how we get there. No amount of criminal convictions are going to change their mind.

But for the rest of the people, how is it even possible to still be undecided. The wannabe dictator has made it crystal clear his intentions to become a dictator.

36! But last year I had 37!

They have passed, like music on MySpace

I just think they're neat

In an odd coincidence, the real killer reportedly died at the exact same time.

Owen is the son of Cliegg Lars and another woman who died before Cliegg married Anakin's mom. So he is Luke's step-uncle.

What 20 years of moisture farming does to a MF:

It transitions more easily into the ol' seig heil which they’re all just waiting until it's more acceptable to do in public.

The man then reportedly made a motion like he was throwing a ball, which resulted in Mike Johnson excitedly running in the direction where the ball was apparently thrown. However, the man kept the ball hidden in his hand the whole time, a fact which did not dampen Mike Johnson's excitement when the man eventually revealed the ball.

I only eat wheat discs with geometric reservoir dimples.

I have 200 hours in Civ 6, and have yet to win a game on anything except points. The latter eras are such a slog.
