That sounds awful.

@DogMomRN not off topic at all and I grew up in the 80s too

What are there super powers

Well, snowflake has ice powers, and safespace, I'm not making this shit up, can put a force field around any of his teammates.

I just got through watching Ocean's 11 (1960) I love that movie.

I'm going to watch the ones with Brad Pitt in them sometime soon

The original is best. It had the Rat Pack and a lot of big stars from back in the day

And isn't woke

Look at this garbage https://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Female-Force-Nancy-Pelosi

So I recently started rewatching avatar the last airbender

I cried at the tales from ba sing sa

I scroll through Facebook and it's post after post about how bad the sequels are and how "true Star Wars fans hate them" and it's so dumb

I liked the sequels. The Force Awakens was a nice refresher, choosing to move in a new direction, tlj was garbage, and The Rise of Skywalker was amazing.

Ngl, I haven't seen TLJ a second time, but I actually kind of like some of it in retrospect

The idea that anyone can be the chosen one is really smart

I didn't like that part about it. Also Luke was just a winy bitch the entire movie.

Oh, he was whiny. Still, I love the idea that it's up to individual merit as to who gets used by the Force. Rey let the Force use her and did great things

...until they rewrote it

I actually hate the whole “anyone can be the chosen one” or “anyone can be force sensitive” thing.

My first video meme but I muddled up the audio opps! 😇 https://youtu.be/Fh_tPfd9doU

Holy shit! Robin Hood: Men in Tights is free with ads on YouTube!

Mel Brooks is a comedic genius

is that a young ronald reagan?

he looks like it

I guess I'd argue that it's a whole lot more empowering than being born with the Force. It also makes more sense thematically - if the Force connects and binds all living things, why restrict its use to certain people?

There's also the fact that George Lucas based it on Eastern mysticism and Judeo-christian beliefs. From what I've gathered, the Force is similar to the concept of Chi, which is regarded as sort of a spiritual "blood" that flows in all living things. (I think.) In a review of the new Mulan, a woman debunking it's "accuracies" pointed out that Mulan having "a lot of Chi" is like if the people said "Oh dang, she has a lot of blood!" because it's simply in everyone and doesn't denote anything special.

In Judeo-christian beliefs, anyone can do anything as long as they are chosen by God and allow God to do the work for them. That's why the Bible is filled with stories about shepherds, prostitutes, widows, weaklings, and even children - it teaches that God is the one supplying the power, not the person

When taking that stance, suddenly things like
- Luke firing a shot into the Death Star after flying a machine for the first time
- Anakin basically doing the same
- Rey winning a battle against a trained Sith lord
...all make sense. It's not them doing it, it's that they opened themselves up to the Force and the Force used them

Yeah, but it’s kind of like if everyone’s super then no one is super.

It kind of takes the magic out of the Force if everyone can use it. George Lucas even said that it's connected to everything, but only certain people can use it.

It's like how Finn is *a* Force sensitive, but he isn't Force Sensitive in the normal sense

True, but they're only super if...
1. The Force reaches out to them
2. They choose to accept it

So in that sense, it is a chosen deal, but it still makes it so that the Force could hypothetically choose anyone as long as they are willing to let it guide them

Not a huge difference but an interesting one

Hmmm but what if its a witchcraft and its all a lie

Avatar the last airbenderdiscussion anyone
