I told my partner, there should be mandatory alerts either tv or phone with The Clone Wars beginning quotes or mantras/morals...whatever they are with how relatable they are. Star Wars scripture if you will lol
Yup!

It's not a high bar. The fact that Trump was elected president once, shows that American democracy was fundamentally broken. To elect him again, after Jan 6th, after the Muller report and 2 impeachments... My brain simply cannot understand it
I was thinking exactly the same thing this morning. Just like The Phantom Menace. An idiot (Trump/The Seperatists) being played by a sinister manipulator (Putin/Darth Sideous).
Not Jar Jar. Jar Jar is a goofy doofus and a naïve but goodhearted individual who only did what he thought was best. Who we have in the Oval Office is Nute Gunray.
Two days ago I had the thought in the shower: Damn it! The other one wants to be the Anakin to his Palpatine! (too many Padmés, tho, but the guy's already unhinged, so it doesn't matter)
At least having so many Padmés gave Keira Knightley the chance to make industry connections, leading to her later getting the role in Pirates of the Caribbean. 😄
As someone who worked through all the Mad Max movies this week and is currently reading @kylebuchanan.bsky.social’s Blood Sweat & Chrome, I feel validated.
i heard once that the uber wealthy capitalists without a conscience love recession. its like a giant sale to them. properties for pennies on the dollar, super cheap stocks, prices raised that will never be lowered, and people willing to work harder for less .... so very sad ....
Of all the movies I didn't expect to age like wine, the Star Wars Prequels have to be up near the top. But here we are, living out their warnings in real-time.
I think the main complaints was, a movie primarily made for kids between 7 and 12 spending almost an hour discussing pseudo politics. Also the space goofy character, obviously.
It’s nowhere near an hour. I counted last time I watched and it was something like every 8 minutes of the first hour there is an action sequence. The movie is not slow. Also, if you know it’s made for 7-12 year olds then surely the space goofy character doesn’t need an explanation?
The fact that you need to count how many minutes they raw dog politics in a kids movie is a problem. The prequels is what you get when one person polishes a script for 20 years, without any input. Not anywhere as bad as those Zach Snyder Clone Wars movies, but still littered with nonsense.
You can have dense dialogue and story-wrecking dense characters in the same movie, Joe! The is no law against more than one major blunder in a movie, is there? Just funny how you can't accept people disliking a movie that was not up to snuff with its predecessors.
The real problem is that the pacing is dogshit, the tone is everywhere, the plot isn't constructed well at all, the motivations make no sense, and none of the characters give you a reason to like them or care about their outcomes
We're simultaneously in that one and my other least favourite Star Wars movie The Rise of Skywalker, the one where the biggest villain of the franchise makes a sudden, poorly-explaned return because a bunch of insufferable anti-woke pillocks demanded to be pandered to.
And that was not even the worst Star Wars movie. The follow up, The Attack of the Clones, was even worse. Musk's army of AI robots could be those clones.
I am having similar thoughts!🤦🏼♀️💦my kid serves & she wants me in a straitjacket for my rude/crude honesty!Florida is the next state I’m going to 🤦🏼♀️💦MoronsCentral!It’s a strategic move stalking seas for illegals🤦🏼♀️💦I need a hitman!🤦🏼♀️💦
Never doubt the power of a good old fashioned trade dispute. When you need to build anger quick to aim at a desired agenda, accept *no* substitutes. You can kill their loved ones; but their bank accounts? They will have blood over those, and they don't really care whose. Or even if it's correct.
I’ve been saying this for weeks 😂 funny how my family’s biggest complain and reason they hated that movie is “it’s just about the trade federation” well bestie, that’s because Star Wars is a political series
Ive also been saying that with Musk’s failure in Wisconsin, Trump is like “hmm maybe he should go” and how Musk is going to become the Count Dooku of this story now that he’s no longer useful lol
Keep in mind that the so-called "Tariffs charged to the U.S.A." aren't actually tariffs. Instead, they represent the U.S. trade deficit divided by the value of U.S. imports from that particular country. Tariffs are a tax. This is so stupid.
I think neither Trump has the charm of Palpatine (and the extent of his manipulation abilities starts and ends with very weak minds) nor Musk has *anything* that made Vader who he was.
So we will not watch the rise of the Empire, but the self-destruction of the central core (USA) while the outer 🧵

One of the things I admired about the prequels is that it begins with a molehill to the eventual mountain of the OT. Because most major conflicts begin as something perceived as innocuous and irrelevant only to be seen as the spark to a powder keg later on. I think we're at that moment now.
I told everyone this is how it was all going to play out. Nobody listened to me. i’m predicting the 🍊💩 will stage another assassination attempt to justify dismantling Democracy even more & tightening his grip probably around 2028 if he hasn’t started a war to postpone the election.

Gen X bitched and moaned about how he "raped their childhood" in response.
They can suck a fat one. This is all on those born prior to 1982.
(for the US Fanta anyway, because only that has that nice toxic deep orange)
Well we are the laughing stock of the planet 🤷🏽
It’s all there.
Cass R. Sunstein for the win today.

Thank you for pointing that out. I appreciate it.
