Nobody said they're *more* important. But they are important. You're defending a mighty fine strawman there. Ok... umm... wow... Aren't you the one in another thread who said killing people without due process is never justified? (Admittedly, that was about drone strikes on Americans deemed...

For white people to face racism, there needs to be a threat of actual oppression. No other racial group in the US can assert the collective power to oppress the lives of white people in general.

Uh... no. Nobody is singling out black lives as being the only ones that matter. As Morrus says, the slogan means "Black lives are as important as everyone else's". People are being killed solely for being black. People are being killed solely for being trans. Can you show me how trumpeting...

Where's the inconsistency? They have *never* publicly consented to fan films. That's pretty consistent.

Precedent is set in courts and contracts. Given that CBS has very deliberately avoided publicly presenting any terms of acceptable use, there is no precedent to be used legally. You cannot use someone's lack of action against them unless they had a duty to act in a timely manner (for which...

Regardless of that (although I admit I've never heard that word before and thought you were going all Tenth/Eleventh Doctor on us with timey-wimey babble ;), something being unknown does not equate with confusion.

Higgledy-piggledy? That's an odd term for 'we know nothing of what, if any, terms were negotiated by two separate groups with CBS/Paramount'. Using your term implies shenanigans, when much more likely is either 1. better negotiators on behalf of Renegades, or 2. extenuating circumstances...

I didn't say 'oversimplification'. Just simplification, and in particular one that removes a rather important nuance: RPG companies specifically encourage players to make their own adventures and stories (in addition to hopefully purchasing their company-produced ones) - although with a few...

To summon an analogy from late night TV, saying 'All Lives Matter' should replace 'Black Lives Matter' is akin to saying 'All legs should be mended' instead of 'My leg should be mended' when I have a broken leg. Yes, all legs should be mended, but at this moment in time, mine is the one that is...

Obi-wan should have noticed given his direct involvement in both, but yeah, I was trying to approach this from a non-plot hole viewpoint. To be fair, programmers have been inserting Easter Eggs into their work for ages ;) And if the manual only accounts for standing orders 1-50, well, it's...

That's simplistic, if not an outright strawman. A business entity is under no obligation to enter into contracts with everyone using the same terms, as long as none of those terms are discriminatory (among a few other restrictions). Further, I wouldn't be surprised if lawyers thought there's a...

To be fair, this isn't a plot hole. It's just an interesting quirk of "prior" relationships not being expanded upon.

So, assuming Jedi have some sort of mission debriefings, Anakin Skywalker should be well aware that Jango Fett is the template for the clone army (I don't recall if the name was said to Anakin on screen, because it was mostly Obi-wan dealing with Fett). If the report is thorough enough, he might...

I like the idea that the Sith slowly tricked Jedi into suppressing their emotions, rather than dealing with them. The Sith might not know who would join the Jedi in emotional dire straits, but that somebody would is almost a given, and each one that does becomes either a potential Dark Side...

I recall reading Ford's salary was something like 50x that of Hamill and Fisher. And there very well have been a lot more filmed; editing does tend to trim things down.

I find Finn the most interesting, simply because I've never considered the idea of a Stormtrooper breaking his conditioning. And while it's behind-the-scenes, I don't recall ever seeing someone so gleefully excited to be part of something like John Boyega is, and that excitement carries over...

So that's the plan of the Dark Side - they want to rename everything so it's impossible to take anyone seriously through the fits of laughter!

I pictured them as both sides were using clones, likely as some sort of flesh-and-blood fodder like biological robots - less "human" loss of life, but more tactical flexibility than droids.

Emphasis mine. Having never read Potter, I have no horse in this race, but I've seen this sentiment elsewhere as well (on this topic, but also frequently on stuff related to ASoIaF and Game of Thrones), and I have to say, I don't get it. I get that not everyone will like a particular...

When I saw that scene, while I did obviously catch the reference to A New Hope, to me it also showed that Finn was a good guy because he wouldn't kill a captured enemy combatant. In combat? Kill away. But a captured one? Nope, not killing.
