@TheBigBlackJosh Im like half convinced that these people just convinced themselves they experienced something they heard from a guy who heard it from a guy who heard it from someone whos been enrolled for like 10 years which happened like 15 years ago.
@SphinXieeBoy@aligade3 Its not TikTok, the (wrong) idea that the islamic conquests led to massive population replacements of pre-islamic egyptians with arabs and that only copts are descended of pre-islamic egyptians has been around for way longer.
@mrrickjunior@Clint_Davey1 Theres reason to believe that this was JJs intent since theres this really weird panel where someone ask if Plagueis is gonna be in TFA and they cut off Daisy Ridley really awkwardly.

Unless youd argue he was playing 8D chess in Phantom Menace as well, what the movies are
@PAstynome I dont know which past exactly youre refering to but I believe even most far-rightists today would be weirded out by the level of "low IQ" sexism and racism if they were teleported to the pre WW2 era.
