Well this is interesting

That will be a difficult story to tell without Luke.

mindysan33 · April 13, 2019, 3:11pm

He’s going to be all over the film as a force ghost…

nimelennar · April 13, 2019, 4:11pm

Yeah, I don’t think that would work with the whole Luke being tempted to the Dark Side by the Emperor and getting redeemed by Leia character arc.

How do you get a blank post?

Put something between triangle brackets so it thinks your using html.

In this case, I just spoiler blurred it… but there is some sort of thing you can put that will give you a blank post, but I don’t know what the code is…

mindysan33 · April 13, 2019, 5:11pm

I don’t know why I can never remember that… I know I’ve been told what it is several times…

MarjaE · April 13, 2019, 5:14pm

For whatever reason, I can’t unblur it.

mindysan33 · April 13, 2019, 5:16pm

That’s weird. I guess no real reason to blur it since it’s a plot point from a movie that came out last year and a trailer that’s just been released. I just noted that Luke’s going to be in the film as a force ghost…

MarjaE · April 13, 2019, 5:36pm

Yeah, the original Dark Empire wouldn’t work without Leia trying to rescue Luke. But the most outlandish parts can still be salvaged.

I just don’t have the excitement I used to have.

Sure the TIE fighter scream tightened my chest, but I’m Star Weary.

I loved Rogue One and Solo.

TFA and TLJ were okay.

Sure, I will go to this. Probably not opening week, but I’ll go to the theater.

But, Billy Dee is in it. So I guess I have to go now. Maybe smuggle a Colt45 in to honor him.

I have zero faith in JJ Abrams to deliver a satisfying conclusion to so much as a knock-knock joke.

The title isn’t helping.

Wisconsin_Platt · April 13, 2019, 11:38pm

Oh. JJ has this one again?

See. That’s how far my apathy is. Didn’t even know who was directing.

JJ Abrams: Knock knock!
nimelennar: Who’s there?
JJ: That’s the question, isn’t it? Who would be knocking at this hour?
nimelennar: …
JJ: Nobody is there when you open the door, but there are hints that someone was there and left in a hurry. A dropped scrap of paper, and footprints in the direction of the woods…

nimelennar · April 14, 2019, 12:27am

That’s a complete mischaracterization.

I would totally reply “That’s-the-question-isn’t-it-who-would-be-knocking-at-this-hour who?”

chenille · April 14, 2019, 12:32am

Fair enough. It occurred to me that you might, but I was imagining he’d interrupt before you got that far anyway.

nimelennar · April 14, 2019, 12:34am

Ah, okay. That makes more sense.
