    Did he miss Hans leaving Post wall lesbian princess Layah for Chewey in the last movie?

    Why would he think that homosexuality has evolved in a galaxy far far away, a long time ago-?

    What about Jabba the Hutt?

    @ KCRob: Jabba is straight. Witness Leia in the golden bikini.

    @Sean L, what makes you think Jabba was male?

    Craig has a point… slugs are hermaphroditic, so Jabba’s technically everything. Try to scrub that one out of your mind’s eye.

    @ Kilroy: That used to be the case- until the great canon purge of April 2014. Everything except the movies and the Clone Wars tv show got scrapped to give the people making the sequel trilogy creative freedom. Now everything going forward has a big “This Really Happened” sticker on it. And be thankful for that. The old expanded universe got… weird. Really, really weird.

    @Sean

    Nah, I’m actually one of the ridiculous people who liked both the prequels and the weirdness of the expanded universe. It got really bad, but let’s face it, Lucas gave spinoff writers and developers a lot of creative freedom that I seriously can’t see Disney wanting to. I mean… just look how cookie-cutter Force Awakens was, right down to the “totally not the Death Star Trench Run, guys!” stuff. Boring.

    No safe space for Christian colleges, at the same site as the petition for no supreme court appointees until after the election

    @ Kilroy: Meh. I’ll take another Death Star trench run over brain-in-a-jar Jedi, talking green anthropomorphic rabbits, Leia having a lightsaber duel with a Hutt, and Luke joining the cult of a weird transdimensional being who wanted to eat him. Besides, the new version of Vader finding out Luke is his son is completely worth it.

    I think I’ll be taking a break from politics for a bit. The past few months have proven a bizarre and confusing time in American politics. People who I thought were once friends with each other are now trading vicious insults, charges of political prostitution, accusations of racism, the works. The movement I once dedicated myself to is eating itself whole.

    I’ve lost faith and trust in the conservative movement. Everybody seems like they are either trying to keep their influence or usurp influence. I’m sick with uncertainty and I don’t know who to listen to. I don’t understand what the hell is going on, and I don’t have the time or energy to. Part of me wants the stuff about Trump to not be true because otherwise, it means we have a dishonest fraud heading for the Republican nomination, and its almost inevitable at this point. I see Trump win primary after primary, and wonder how so many people can be wrong; I read and hear people I trust and like support Trump, and I read and hear other people I trust and like say that Trump is bad news. My own parents seem to have warmed up to him, which I don’t know how to feel about, and I can’t shake this feeling of foreboding about the man. Is he a genuine man with a checkered past? A liar playing an outraged populace for saps? A would-be tyrant channeling the anger of a nation to fuel his rise to power? I don’t know, and as a guy who hates making uninformed decisions and not having the full story, I’m freaking terrified. All I know is that nobody in this race is coming off as very dignified, and I think there’s only a few pundits who I have any respect for now.

    I don’t understand what’s happening. I’m scared because I’ve come to the realization that I’m totally on my own and will have to sort this out for myself, and I’m frustrated that this had to happen during this election of all elections.

    Part of me envies the politically uninvolved. They don’t find themselves sleepless over politics. Maybe I’ll look at some pictures of naked dudes, get a boyfriend, do something fun for a change. Whoever’s up there knows I could use some fun.

    Who says there isn’t? You only really see one couple per series actually pair up.

    Disney had a choice:
    (1) Annoy a portion of fandom by deviating from a portion of the EU, perhaps w/ the standard excuse, “alternate timeline.”
    (2) Piss off all of fandom by killing the EU.

    Creative freedom — what did they do w/ it?

    Kilroy: “just look how cookie-cutter Force Awakens was”

    P.S. I can’t see blaming JJ Abrams. His take in the third StarTrek/Khan movie was rich and creative.

    I would enjoy a gay James Bond film.

    Honestly I don’t care as long as they don’t go to the point of pandering and over do it on how many gay characters they put out there. Besides, there’s already gay characters in SW canon. One in the Lords of the Sith novel who’s a lesbian Imperial moth and several in Aftermath. If you want to have gay characters in a SW film, whatever. I live with it, I can live without.

    Sean L., I think this is the worst election in terms of options in my lifetime.

    I know I’m a bit late, but to Blair Ivey:

    Kylo Ren’s hair is fabulous.

    I was convinced on seeing it that the sole function of his helmet was to keep his hair perfect, through the application of exotic, sophisticated technology, possibly interwoven with the Force.

    Either that or he got stuck with a really crappy version of Force Prescience:

    “Why do you always wear that mask? Your face is fine.”

    “I had a vision that someday, I’ll be horribly disfigured but I have no idea how, when or why.”

    “Dude, that sucks.”

    “At least I had time to order the helmet.”

    #2: You remind me of when some social conservative group was up in arms about the alleged homosexual goings-on with Bert and Ernie on the Muppets. They pinned Jim Henson down, demanding he tell the public what they were. His answer was direct and to the point: “Puppets.”
