I'mma go a bit different direction and say I like Chirrut and that he has some very limited abilities with the Force. Why? Because it makes for a good story, and it solidifies his character arc through the movie. Plus it's fantasy, not Sci-Fi. So I totally buy it. Also same reason I don't hate the Dark Saber. Sabine, on the other hand... that's not good storytelling. I thought she was great in Rebels, but I don't feel like the live-action has done any favors to any of the characters from Rebels.

Y'all just mad because I'm winning.

Whatever

Pessimistic

Zren, you look like you're dropping a little weight.

I had to do a little research after, that didn't make it to my notes, but I agree: the "new" TIE is supposed to be a take on the Avenger. And also agree: his stunning failure as a pilot had back-story. Not simply "I volunteered to pull a job that I am dismally unqualified for," but rather "THIS was not the TIE I was trained to fly." He actually prepped for the mission (most likely for a good while), on a mass production unit. I did think it was crap as to how much abuse that proto took, but DSW plot armor is second to none.

I think the EDM wasn't necessarily a Chandrilan thing, but rather reflected the the demographic of the betrothed; namely Leida. When you become an old fart, you start paying closer attention to that kind of thing when attending youngsters' weddings. However, despite the good world-building, the more I watch, this show in particular, the more apparent an egregious shortcoming becomes: How do you a global culture? In the same way, how do you have global climates?

Please don't tell me that the jungle was Yavin IV. I will personally light the match to burn Disney to the ground if that is the extent of their feeble imaginations. (Don't get wrong, I'm lighting the match anyway, but....y'know.)

Points for using "gauche".

Journal 7/5/25

I have not much luck with the dream weaver the last week or so. Makes me sad. I did use a real saber last night and kind of forgot how comfortable it was.  Maybe the dream weaver is not paying much attention to me because I am not using any of my sound sabers recently.
