    And it's funny- some can succeed with this lack. Rogue One has no memorable bad guys. You can say Vader, but he wasn't really the bad guy that they were striving against. It was the story and the conglomeration of obstacles and how they got past them rather than any particular villain that made...

    That wasn't the intent. The intent was to find out what story wise had been done to create the air of mystery and coolness that surrounded him, and whether that was done by the media and writers, or by zeitgeist. It doesn't matter if someone thinks he's cool or not- I personally do. But I admit...

    At the end of FATWS when Torres talked about it- he asked Sam if he could have it. That's where I got that from. And Torres was his go to man for technical stuff with the wings in that series.

    I think it is his old suit, and Torres got it back into service and modified it as he fixed it. And Sam was the last one of his unit - I took it to mean that the unit was seen as not viable and discontinued. That's the angle I saw it as from Winter Soldier.

    Snoke was a victim of competing director visions.

    Not an ignoble death, but the fact that he gets taken out by accident by a blind person.

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    I've actually already replaced it, funny enough. I'm now using a monitor linked to my Surface. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VFF4TZG This allows me to use Miro as a clue board and still have the ability to sketch.

    I would think it would be. And more difficult to train with more casualties in training. It has been said that Falcon has borderline superhuman reflexes, the adjustments and reactions he has to make when flying at speed. They make it look easy, but the comics have made sure to emphasize the fact...

    Also bad example as he gets taken out by a BLIND Han Solo. That fail just completely wipes out everything else. And silent before Vader, screaming when his jet pack gets hit.

    Oh, I don't disagree either. But anyone could be trained for those. I mean, look at Falcon and US Agent. His pathos and empathy can't really be trained as easily, and are just inbuilt qualities.

    There was that same aspect with Phasma, especially with the actor tapped to portray her. She had to be something bigger, but it didn't come to fruition.

    I think using success and failure to define someone's strengths is why we have the Peter Principle. His successes and failures weren't the reason that Steve chose him- it was because of his potential and strengths. Whether he leverages those are beside the point and up to his decisions.

    And the same thing could be said of Finn, which makes him the paragon and archetype of Stormtroopers.

    What did Boba Fett do on screen that was cool?

    He actually beat Phasma in one-on-one combat. He's more inconsistent than incompetent.

    That's what they make barf bags for. Sheesh.

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    I'd agree, and have already agreed that they did Finn as a character wrong. But to ascribe racial motivations to that, when (a) he's not the only one they did wrong nor sidelined and (b) there have been no indications otherwise in Rian's actions that he has any racial motivations in his...
