There's well written gray morality, which a few EU works managed to do without going overboard, and edgelord gray morality, which is trying to make two sides comparable when they're not. No matter how much Rian wants us to think Luke and Kylo are equally bad, they're not, and no matter how much we're supposed to think the New Republic and First Order are alike due to Canto Bight, they're not. For what it's worth, George Lucas abhorred trying to make the Jedi and Sith comparable. You may hate the midichlorians and Chosen One prophecy but even before that the Sith were still very much the bad guys, and they needed to be taken out.
We know the Mouse will buy off the investigators and get a 50 mil fine, if that. I am genuinely surprised the SEC is interested, though, and found the whistleblower credible.Oh shit.

So its official. There's now an investigation going on into Disney's shit and employees are snitching. Bob Chapek (chairman of Parks and one of the "geniuses" behind GE) confirmed for swindler and crook too apparently.

They need to at least look like they're doing their jobs.
It's not redemption when critics are completely worthless and are completely bribable with either handbags, sub minimum wage earnings, or wokeness.
This actually made me grunt. They answer the criticism that Leia completely ignores Chewi after Han's death... by making her an absolutely abhorrent and cold hearted bitch that sounds like she does neither care about her former husband being stabbed to death by her own son nor the guy she supposedly comforts. Holy shit. She acts like Chewie was needing a comforting hug after dropping his ice cream cone. Fucking shit.And Leia is so "emotional" and her reasoning is so "heartfelt"...
Isn't that a nice alternate story idea: Rey is actually a Sith apprentice that is under deep cover, doesn't even know she's a sleeper herself, and when she finally meets Luke, she snaps and attacks him. Would explain her powers at least.
The whole problem with that Not-Hoth fight: Hiding there only serves a purpose when you actually... y'know... hide.
Looks fake to me, and part of me hopes it is. If Rey remains as strong as she was in TFA and TLJ, it's way easier to point out her Sue-iness. If she gets her arm chopped off in a (at this point) completely out-of-character moment, nuFans would point at that and go "See, she's not a Sue, she lost her arm!".
Here's a leak of said scene.
It'll be easy. "Skippy was shit in the EU until Disney fixed him!"
Personally, I'm just waiting until she just so happens to stumble upon a perfectly operational, stocked and staffed Death Star to defeat the FO.
With the other rumor of her also being an escaped stormtrooper that was previously kidnapped as a kid, every potential interesting point or possible story arc has been stolen from Finn. He is now only a bumbling buffoon / comic relief character close to the level of JarJar Binks. We've laughed about this before (~200 pages ago) with one of the reddit leaks from ~1year ago now appearing accurate, although with 6-12 different cuts of the film and re-shoots still being done who knows how much they can change.
Current year clownworld rules mean that the film will be hated by the general public.
That's like saying we should fight more wars in the Middle East to save them. It's gone so well before.
No but you probably shouldn't save one person just because he is "genetically superior" to the rest of the middle easterners.
Countries do that all the time when they attempt to vet highly skilled immigrants, if we're going with the same comparison. It's why tons of South Americans have to claim refugee status. Anakin would be like a 200 IQ biochemistry genius with severe anger issues, the US would absolutely jump at that chance.
The Jedi are supposed to be righteous and virtuous, so doing that would be okay for some mere soldier under control of the senate, but for supposed chivalrious Jedi Knight, it's a no-go.
It's not a perfect comparison because in Star Wars a person with force potential running around without guidance is a recipe for disaster. The Jedi took him in to hopefully train his talents to the point that he could help tons of people in the galaxy. They made tons of mistakes, like the fact that there was a very selfish hope that Anakin would also basically be their warrior to destroy the Sith and they didn't respect and understand Anakin's emotions, but they're not going around genociding populations, blowing up planets, or killing people on a whim. That's when Star Wars can be well-written gray. Have the Sith be pieces of shits but some of them make good points or have interesting philosophies, like Revan, Caedus and Kreia. Have the Jedi be flawed and basically torn on an issue, like the KOTOR era Jedi regarding the Mandalorian War and Luke's Order about the Vong. All of this adds depth without compromising the fact that the Jedi are mostly good and the Sith are mostly evil.
The plan was to hide on Not-Hoth, wait for the fleet to pass and then call for reinforcements. After all, they used stealth ships to sneak off the Raddus and their plan started to fall apart when that stuttering idiot told the FO to look out the goddamned windows. When they were found out and barely made it down to the base, they called for immediate backup but no one bothered to answer and I can't blame them, Leia is a terrible leader as of nuWars.
