Such as it is. Fair, but he spends far more time on 261.

I still don't like these topics. It's almost like all we have to do here anymore is watch for people to lose accounts or get punished.

I said it in another topic. Not only are these topics toxic, but making alerts for people who don't even visit this board moreso.

I can only speak for myself, but for me, feeling content in the fact that I'm beholden to no one and can do whatever I want was trumping the risk that would come from opening myself up to people and the potential pain that could feasibly come. Yes, I could end up actually "happy" with my life, with someone to share everything with, but I could just as easily be more miserable if the compatibility wasn't there.

Also there's the self-loathing that makes you worry you're the person who would make others miserable. Having friends who support you can get you out of that (and got me out of that), but if you don't have that, it's a never-ending cycle of doubt in your own ability to contribute to a relationship.

Plus there's a fair amount of luck to it, which you counter by constantly putting yourself out there and never stopping, which can get exhausting and discouraging.

There's so much to do with droids and the moral and ethical conundrums surrounding them, but I think the issue there is that so many other writers have done things better.

Also to re-examine how the Star Wars galaxy views droids would ultimately change it forever, and fly in the face of how marketable the cute ones are.

Johnson's film suggested he would probably have taken the more "expanded universe" route by introducing moral ambiguity (IE, the Jedi are too dogmatic, the Sith too self-destructive, etc). You could tell he was trying to set up Rey to be less "good" and Kylo to be less "evil" without either having to suddenly reject the light/dark in some weird epiphany. Knights of the Old Republic II's Kreia was a perfect example of a character that would make this sort of thing work.

I'm with you all the way up to Kreia, but only because Kreia kinda dropped the ball at the last second, but the ideas she was representing up until the third act fit right into that.

It's why I'm excited for where High Republic is going to go, because the kicker about it is there there are no Sith in this era, or even dark side Force users. The Jedi are big, powerful, loved, and still quite dogmatic, and the Republic is at peace and the on the verge of expansion into the Outer Rim. The enemy force is a jumped-up pirate band that's just really good at fucking things up and hiding, and the very visible and confident Jedi just don't have a great response to that.

Y'know, looking at how hardcore Disney is going in order to integrate Star Wars experiences into the theme parks, I get the feeling that an actual mature extraction of the "good guys vs bad guys" simplicity of the story would ultimately steer away from the commoditization of stormtrooper helmets, lightsabers, starfighters, and thus would be less marketable.

Feeds into the concept of forever war being good for business, but in a fantasy aspect instead of the reality aspect of having little boys buy plastic toy soldiers.
