Amazing game, I have about 500 hours on it (very roughly). SO much fun, and a real test of gamer ability. But, because it was released on the Saturn, not many people got to play it. And yet, part of me feels, that even if it was released on the PS1, or 360, the strange, hard to classify gameplay, would've still made it somewhat unpopular.

I did enjoy it, and certainly some parts were really good fun / cool, but...by SW standards, it wasn't particularly great. I would rank it near the bottom of the 9 films. Well, these were my problems.

Rey is the granddaughter of Palpatine? Is EVERYONE in these films related, or rather, secretly related to each other? Also, what the fuck had we never heard about Palpatine having a daughter before? Why doesn't she have amazing Sith powers?

The massive fleet, that Palpatine had secretly constructed. There must've been dozens of full-size destroyers.

The way the massive fleet each have a Death Star-level weapon, despite the fact they're regular ships, not the Death Star.

How pretty much every romantic subplot established so far was dropped, or seriously scaled back. Rey-Finn, not addressed at all. Rose-Finn, not addressed at all. Kylo-Rose, barely dealt with. Wtf.

Remind me- how did Palpatine survive? I know he was basically Zombie Palpatine now, but...this wasn't even talked about.

Why did Palpatine, and other cool characters, get so little screentime?

Why did we need to have SO many locations crammed into the film? Why was that even neccesary?

So, in Episode 8, the call for help from the Resistance was COMPLETELY ignored, but when the Resistance does another, very similar call for help, every guy and girl who owns a starship turns up? The fuck?

Why was Lando even in this film? He wasn't neccesary, and barely even did anything!

A bunch of dead Snokes were stashed in some glass container, with little to no explanation.

Too many boring, or unnecesary (or both) scenes.

Well.

Don't get me wrong. I basically enjoyed it. It was better than some films. It was still (slightly) better than The Phantom Menace, but...so many bits that made no sense, such OTT storytelling.

It was will be called...Milkdromeda.

Dubious naming schemes aside, this is kinda crazy. It won't happen for billions of years, but...entire galaxies colliding. I'm not sure exactly what this will mean for the galaxies, though, however it's unlikely that many actual stars will collide. It could be fine, assuming human life still exists billions of years into the future.

Earlier today, I watched most of his speech in Michigan, and it was pretty impressive.

He got the crowd fired up; he made himself look good and Obama look bad; he alternated between agressive and calm, as needed; he pushed the whole American first agenda that right-wing politicians often do; he knew exactly what to say to his audience.

People say he's a moron, and while that may be true, good speeches to large crowds and TV audiences usually win elections for candidates.

Is Sunhawk the closest thing CE has to a polymath?

- graduated with a degree in econ/comp sci

- yet at the same time he's also the most well-versed when it comes to arts + culture

- has a great mind for mathematics yet is also probably the only person here who can expound on feminist critical theory or the semiotics of cinema

- conversant in most matters literary, cinematic, music, artistic, etc

- he's one of the few, if not the only, people here who read interesting magazines like the Paris Review

- he hosts his own college radio show where he plays avant garde/ outsider / left field music

- a genuine depth of understanding and original insight on most matters he speaks about

- excellent writer with a genuine appreciation for great prose style

meanwhile most of ce doesn't really care to know much about anything but engineering, video games, blockbuster films, etc

Well, well, well.
