"That Boy Is Our Last Hope."

"That boy is our last hope."

"No there is another."

Funniest fucking exchange between these two. seriously, i rewatched ESB and these two were fucking killing me. Absolutely hilarious. i'm dying. first of all, way to disregard the other actual force sensitive you met personally, who is literally his sister. also, didn't you dumb fucks just say that you needed to leave these two to die? and how it was a trap and luke could get hurt? you should be encouraging him to save his replacement. why are you just letting your backup plan get killed? i mean, you should be trying to get him to go. this is really shitty planning, and honestly, george lucas can say that obi and yoda were right all he wants, but he's the one who created the narrative that obi-wan and yoda were willing to fuck up their backup plan. there are losing their other potential replacement by not letting him help. what a load of bullshit.

i'd like it to be remembered that this is the conversation we got AFTER luke left. this was their reaction: 'whelp, he's going to die or turn, guess we'll rely on this other girl who we discouraged him to save.'

it's even worse knowing that obi-wan is aware of leia's existence, and has a preexisting relationship. you'd think that he of all people would understand what leia is capable of. he's just willing to let this kid, the kid that he is fully aware of in terms of potential and strength, the kid that is literally their other hope, die and is just like 'welp, she'll die. maybe we can resurrect her in case luke dies and we run of pinball chances.' idiots, these two. i love them.

Chicago has strict gun control. How’s that working out for them?

good god, i make one post about my liberal views and i'm suddenly getting conservative anons about how guns are good and how guns totally aren't the problem.

chicago has a gun issue, but most of the guns from chicago are from ghost guns that are made without registry, and other contraband methods. also, chicago may have once had strict gun control, but most of that is has been overturned in state and federal courts. while they have stricter laws than say, Texas, it's still not that strict.

Chicago Tribune

Are Chicago’s gun laws the strictest in the United States? Not anymore.

While Chicago is frequently used as an example of why such regulations don’t work, the truth is far murkier.

Fact-check: Does Chicago gun violence disprove tougher gun laws can prevent gun violence?

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott claims Chicago’s 'tougher' gun laws fail to prevent gun violence

i've never heard of the KOTOR2 track. i should go and listen to that.

The Luke vs. Vader theme is actually pretty good though it's not a favorite for me. Anakin's Dark Deeds/I'm So Sorry is my favorite piece of Str Wars score, and Across the Stars is godly.

what are all your guys' heretic star wars music opinions? of course, we love and respect john williams, but what are the real meaty, gets-you-excommunicated-from-fandom opinions? i have LOTS of opinions, particularly ones that will probably get my ass kicked.

sometimes i read posts on this site, and i think that this whole capitalism == bad phenomenon started recently. but then i read this poem.

Little Boxes

by Malvina Reynolds

Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of tickytacky Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same There's a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

And the people in the houses all went to the university Where they were put in boxes and they came out all the same, And there's doctors and there's lawyers, and business executives And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

And they all play on the golf course and drink their martinis dry, And they all have pretty children and the children go to school And the children go to summer camp and then to the university Where they are put in boxes and they come out all the same.

And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family In boxes made of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

and it's from the 1950s.

Capitalism was always awful; we just aren't prosecuting every single person who voices criticisms of it.

terfs are so funny. "you think men should be allowed in women's prisons?" brother i don't think anyone should be in prison in the first place

no but Hindutva is so fucking stupid, because it’s a bunch of old men going around imposing a religion whose main thing is that it’s not a religion; it’s a way of life. a way of life where the gods don’t give a shit if you aren’t a believer and non-believers aren’t going to burn for their sins. a religion that preaches tolerance, the importance of doing good deeds even through you are trapped in a cycle of life, death and suffering. seriously, to break from the cycle, you just have to lead a good life doing good deeds and to help others. nowhere in hindu scriptures does it say that you will not attain moksha if you aren't a hindu; just do the good deeds, and you will become one with God. hinduism is like ‘let live and do good’ it says nowhere that you are a bad person if you aren’t a Hindu in doctrine; that’s what abrahamic religions do. I’m not even sure BJP understand what Hinduism is. fucking idiots.
