I’m gonna suggest that the events of all the sequels (but especially Ep IX) didn’t work great as movies but would have been a profoundly enjoyable TTRPG campaign, something the players would tell stories about for years.
WHY does the First Order use not just speeders but also rocket pack dudes who launch off them other than it looks badass? Lando’s at Burning Man and saves the day with people who didn’t show up last movie? AWESOME. How about dodging stormtrooper occupation forces on a dangerous mission to access Threepio’s memory? Let’s do it.
Again reminded that Rise of Skywalker was not so much a BAD film as a completely baffling one. They got everything superficial 100% right about Star Wars and nothing more substantive. It’s (almost) like a SW movie made for or possibly by 10 year old me. How do you even have ANY Death Star ruins intact to climb around? Who cares, dungeon crawl! Does it make sense that old Sheve P’s back? No but extensible robot arm in a Sith temple looks awesome!
Weirdly a silver lining to such a shitty childhood is I can’t look back from the dark of another Covid winter with looming fascism, more Disney content, and unaddressed climate change, and wish I were 10 or 16 or 25 again when life was great, BECAUSE IT WASN’T. I was lucky enough to get free and start hacking (so the hardest part of the process) on my personal bullshit in the 90s when everything wasn’t falling apart the same way.
Imagine if you had two countries filled with people about as even tempered as I am, who wanted to be dragged into someone else’s vital bullshit about as much as I do, and then one of them invaded the other. That would be a completely murderous shitshow, wouldn’t it?
This courtesy of the customer who went off on me, this morning. I’m very glad not to be around her when she’s actually angry.

Re last boost @erin_kitsune hi doggy!
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
