"I guess the idea is that we’re supposed to now think that small street urchins without any sort of bloodline can become incredible Jedi. That’s democratic, but it’s not true to the storyline, and it doesn’t provide any drama." It's true to _the original_ storyline. If they're getting rid of the fucked-up storyline from the prequels, then hooray. B) You hang out, nowadays, at news outlets where the top five headlines as of this writing are: "PANICKED: CNN Hypes Heavily Skewed Poll Saying Democrats Will Crush In 2018", "Rosie O'Donnell Tells Shapiro 'Suck My D*k.' His Response Flattens Her.", "Director Rob Reiner Posts Lewd Trump/Pence Tweet. Liberals Cheer The 'Homophobic' Attack.", "THOU SHALT NOT COVET: Democratic Congressman Admits They Oppose Tax Cuts Because Poor People Are Jealous Of Rich People", and "PROMISE KEPT: Here’s The Most Important Thing Trump Has Done That No One Is Talking About"? Oookaay... Personally, I don't get it. Can't even be for the entertainment coverage, what with them getting even that this fucking wrong. -- Christian R.

B) I don't hang out there, I followed a link to the review. But holy shit you're right about those headlines. And now that I've read them ... I weep for (what used to be called) humanity. -- Drew
