Star Wars is a spectrum

All this in just 4 years.

Remember when they insisted it was impossible to build green infrastructure quickly enough

zoomers hate the sequels, millennials hate the prequels, but some hold even now to the ancient hatreds

George Lucas did not script this moment. Warwick Davis and Watto became friends on set. This is their genuine reaction and it was so good that they kept it in the film

🧾actually no thats not the truth ellen

The best decision Rian Johnson made in TLJ was killing off the pointless Emperor knockoff so that Adam Driver’s Kyle Ren could be front and center of the new universe, so of course the first think RoS did was just bring back the Emperor.

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

the pope wrote a 42,000 word manifesto declaring war on AI. we are so freaking back.

[Really not sure @jetinarround]

They were obviously always going to be reunited but the lack of restraint they showed was insane. Have season 3 be just him and over the course of the season he realizes how much he misses Grogu. Then the movie can be their reunion.

Insane fumble.

let’s play a game called “what show do you think this clip is from?”

do people outside of germany even know that the entire country is collectively waiting for a dead whale to explode

if someone ran a marathon and someone else drove 26 miles i wouldnt congratulate the driver just because he ended up at the destination

[griffin🎃 @ohiojesustwink]

This just seems like the logical endpoint of modern cinema

[Nick Tamer @nicktamer36]

Danke Werner Herzog an dieser Stelle

[Someone’s failed-clone’s daughter/granddaughter @MarienneMaid]

The Last Jedi wasn’t even polarizing to the general audience. It made a shit ton of money, it was the highest selling blu ray that year, had an A CinemaScore. The RT score was just bombed by the loser incel chuds that were been hate raged by Bannon Gamergate culture war bullshit

[Gwen ☕ @GwenpostingTTV]

Insane how Star Wars can go back and forth from this to "somehow Palpatine returned" at a moment's notice. It's basically a 50/50 coin flip of peak or slop.

[Darren Mooney @Darren_Mooney]

Reinventing the dark side as “the force of nostalgia” is the sort of franchise-saving idea that would give you a billion-dollar movie, rave reviews, produce a culturally significant film and which online nerds would spend the next ten years refusing to stop complaining about.

I was thinking I've never seen a bald Spanish bloke but then I remembered that one of the most famous baldy fellas on the planet is from Spain

SW is probably one of the best fictional settings ever. It’s probably why I struggle to dislike even the weaker stuff because god damn it’s still letting me look into the coolest place ever
