  • I can’t leave it at that. I have to add some details.

    Both the empire and the rebels repeatedly made tactical decisions so stupid a five-year old would know better. The opening battle involved sending unprotected bombers against a ship with anti-bomber defences and keeping the enemy commander talking on the phone to delay his response. That works in a Mel Brooks movie, not in Star Wars.

    They killed a fan-favourite character off-screen. What, was the puppet too old to reprise its role?

    The empire’s main guy decided to chase the rebels down instead of destroying them immediately. For fun, I guess.

    Phasma’s a badass. Except that she capitulates at the first sign of personal danger.

    All Holdo had to say was “yes, there’s a plan. Not telling you what because of operational secrecy”. Instead she expected Poe to blindly follow orders when he’d already shown he couldn’t do that.

    “Oh no, the sacred texts!” …that you attempted to burn a moment ago.


















  • My wife has been sick with a persistent respiratory infection for six weeks. I have a shoulder injury. We haven’t been staying on top of the cleaning. We finally admitted that the house smells like one of those caves you age cheese in, and booked a cleaner to put it back in good shape so we can just maintain it going forwards.

    Last night, at my wife’s insistence, we tidied the house from top to bottom and wiped down the flat surfaces so the cleaner wouldn’t arrive to a messy house. 😟

    In her defence, she kinda saw the irony of it.
