The issue is that simply saying you don't like it is considered sexism and bigotry. Not just for Star Wars but for anything. If you didn't like barbie, you hate women. If you didn't like the latest season of True Detective, then you hate women.

I don't agree with the Right on many points but the Left is a party of mental illness.

The left is the party against normal. I’m not anyone’s personal assistant so a simple google search will find a deluge of crap calling all of these things right wing and fascist

-wanting a monogamous relationship and children
- enjoying the outdoors
- workin out or generally wanting to be healthy
- aversion of drugs alcohol or porn. This includes the position that only overindulging is bad
- collection of classic literature
- disdain for modernity and particularly post modern ideas proposed solutions and general creepy arse people who made it and support it
- appreciation of history, your nation, and your culture
- interest in your mental well being by means of spirituality rather than the therapist you’ve paid for 29 years bud never seems to solve anything

Explosions/implosions can happen in space, burning up the last of the O2 from inside the exploding body

But a lazily crackling campfire-style fire?

Come on, man. The shills on Twitter got roasted for trying that shite. You should fall back on the "b-but sound in space"

At least that has merit

I find it incredibly off putting anyone is white knighting for this given the corpo whose cum you’re swallowing, the creators chosen, it’s pure seemingly intended lack of quality. You don’t have to stick up for it. Have some kind of standards.

Not necessarily directed towards you. Just a thought that I had reading through this incredibly funny 20 page epic

The scene is a flashback she is having and she is visualizing the fire while she is working on some shite in space. Not that the show doesn't deserve to be mocked. It is fairly ridiculous that every single person in charge of anything in the high republic is a woman.

edit: ok, just watched the actual clip and this scene does deserve mockery as well, guess I wasn't really paying attention when I watched it the first time.

And she puts it out by smothering it lol. Blocking the space oxygen to stop the fire. It’s dumb but the usuals are going to defend it of course.

Came here to see how the usuals might be freaking out about a stupid star wars show. Got the fumbest list I've ever seen instead.

I have a family, a large collection of literature that includes a ton of history, go hiking in the mountains at least once a week, and love the idea of people finding mental well-being however they see fit. But you guys are always calling me a lefty.

It looks like you just made a list of things you like and care about and deciding those things are right wing. I find the idea of modernity as disdainful hilarious, but wanting to go back to "the good old days" has been a part of aging and writing since the adventures of writing, so you're certainly not alone. But it's definitely not a right wing though.

Anyway, carry on bitching about a TV show that probably isn't worth anyone's time as though it is the harbinger of the apocalypse.

Do I really need to embarrass you by posting 50 articles in one post proving these things have all been claimed as right wing and more often fascist many times? I am not doing anything I’ll gladly do it and hopefully frick you off this board. Seriously say something stupid again I’ll post 50 article then 50 more if you don’t leave

I don't call you a lefty.

I call you a shill for all things "woke"

I don't think you are being political, but contrarian and performative.

Ignorance is no longer an acceptable excuse. Only maliciousness.

This might be the dumbest thing I've ever read on this website, and I've read a lot of dumb shite.

So just to make sure everyone is clear and we have your answer before I spend far far too much time making you look insanely stupid, willfully dumb, or actively malicious.

You’re denying that progressive and leftist news media has pushed many many times these ideas as fascism? That’s the claim yes? If you admit this I’m about to go to town

These things have all been labeled as dangerously right wing or borderline fascist over the last few years by various groups. Are you saying he's making all this up?

Just so everyone knows, we obviously won. Both cucks got called out minutes after their posts and I gave them hours. They wept in the corner at our victory.

Things burn in space in Star Wars whenever they want them to. Examples: 4:36 in the following clip, a TIE is burning before it crashes and explodes. 6:48 of the same video shows the Executor’s bridge blow up, but that explosion is followed by a giant continuously burning fire.

I felt the crackling sound was definitely there to reinforce her little ptsd episode in her mind, where her village burned and sister presumably died.

Anyway,

My thoughts on the show so far: its fine.

Action is good. I like a few of the characters. Designs are decent.

One of the main questions is what really happened to the twins village. Who is the Sith and how does he factor into it? Im sure the flashbacks will be interesting.
