This pretty much. Even in episode One Naboo blasters were just sporting air pistols.

If only they had a neighboring confederation of similarly minded states...

It's funnier to say Der Keir Sturmer because his title is Sir Keir Sturmer. Sir and Der rhyme etc.

I loved the helmet-less thumb headed wannabe operator ISB SWAT Storm Troopers.

Every time I watch it, I'm like this is way worse than I remember. Then that amazing final act swoops in like a MiB memory wipe telling me it's actually good.

I think Tony Gilroy worked a lot better without the constraints of the Disney movie police. Everything is very cartoony in Rogue One.

He didn't do most of the writing they brought him in at the end to fix it up and someone else directed (Gareth Edwards).

Parts that are good are probably Gilroy, he cut the romance between Jyn and Erso and pushed to have them all die.

Leftist prestige drama in the vein of Andor about the German peasants war, nobles are bastards, Martin Luther a piece of shit, Thomas Muentzer and Florian Geyer are cool AF.

In Rian Johnson's defence, supposedly he wanted Leia to do the hyperdrive ram and it was changed to Holdo later by executive meddling.

Which would excuse why it's never been done before, because only a powerful force sensitive could time it right. Like Luke hitting the exhaust port etc.

Too early you just hyperdrive away, too fast the shield/tractor beams/gravity well if taking planets prevents it.

Yeah she was named (in 1980) for the prickly pear, but there was a massacre at Sabra and Shatila in 1982 Lebanon of Palestinians and Shia-Lebanese by Christian militias aided by the IDF. Marvel never changed her name.

It was a sad kid being forced to draw the trans symbol on a whiteboard and she/her and he/him were crossed out with they/them beneath. Honestly it ruled how stupid it was.

"Face too manly, haircut too woke, looked too old, breasts too small" etc. I remember they hated this.

Look I thought it was weird when she said she was Jesus Christ's "little sister" but I liked it when she abolished foot binding.
