    Yea Microsoft is much more 'established' as a company. Not to mention they were packed full of cash in the 90s when they were the only game in town, and were able to diversify themselves considerably more than Google has, and buy up tons of companies. It will be interesting to see where they are in 20 years.

    I agree, I think it's a great idea. You don't really need to show anything, but you could show like one or two green '+' marks for highly upvoted ones, or a red '-' or two for downvoted posts. I don't know if that defeats the purpose of no count though.

    I don't know what level of collaboration the different teams have had.

    That's a good point, I didn't consider it from that perspective.

    I completely agree - while I understand his temptation to 'subvert expectations', he literally threw away everything that had been established before him. Rian even rejected JJ's planned arc for 8 and 9, and for what? What did we get after he left all of this destruction in his wake? Flying Leia and Rose Tico?

    No one wanted Luke to be a perfect saint. There is a huge difference between that and what we were given. Luke thinking of killing his nephew in his sleep?? Even for a second?? That is just ludicrous, and the comparison to when he beat Vader in the lightsaber duel which people love to make is really not similar at all. Regardless, even if that whole situation happened the way it did, Luke wouldn't be the type to go become a hermit and wait to die while his nephew carries on ravaging the galaxy. It just doesn't fit with the character, and as Mark Hamill said, viewers should all just relax and remember that this is a NEW Luke Skywalker, not the old one.

    That being said, I'm not interested in seeing a movie with a 'new' Luke Skywalker.

    Yea but George did it well, whereas the bombers shape, speed, formation, bombing run lmao, bomb arcs, etc just make it look incongruent with what we know space battles to look like in the SW universe.

    What was a 'gut-punch' about it to you? Were you emotionally invested in the character of Holdo? or something else?

    the jump to lightspeed moment? It's a gut punch every time I see it

    I think you underestimate just how much people dislike TLJ. I'm not 'Boycotting' or anything, but after TLJ I just don't really have any interest in seeing any more Disney Star Wars movies. It hurts me to say that, as I have been a gigantic SW fan for 30 years, played the trading card game, video games, knew the movies back and front, read the EU, etc. The Last Jedi just really destroyed too many things for me to really care what happens in these movies.

    I also didn't really want a Han Solo movie anyways. Hopefully we can see some NEW characters and events unrelated to the OT sometime soon.

    I agree. Despite it's lack of originality, I enjoyed TFA and watched it probably 10 times until TLJ came out. TLJ was so bad to me that it in fact ruins TFA since we now know that all of the plot points set up were thrown away immediately lmao.

    I appreciate that it was original, but man I disagree with literally everything Rian chose to do in that movie haha. It's like he read my mind to make the movie I would dislike the most!
