@KamenKongu @JrHopeless If you do that you have to cut almost all of Carrie Fisher's last performance, including her reunion with Luke! All of her best scenes in the film are after she "gets spaced." I think it's pretty reasonable that the crew that knew and loved her didn't want to cut her last work.

@JrHopeless That's my opinion too. Like it would've taken no effort to have Leia die in the scene where she gets spaced. Like just cut the end, film a scene where her death is revealed and then add a funeral scene either in this movie or the next one.

The most jaw-dropping part? Leia had a fake-out death scene, and then Fisher died. They killed Luke, but Hamill was alive. They should have killed Leia and and kept Luke after Fisher died, which would require minimal tweaks to TLJ. Instead, Leia's body double died in TROS.
Fun Ahead 🇺🇸@heroesahead

Which, while being more of a Wheel of Time concept than a Star Wars concept, even that i could get on board with But also timing matters You can't have Luke defeat the entire first order with a masterful trick that was frankly pretty bad ass, give a helluva line like "see ya around kid" set us up for a future confrontation between these two and THEN KILL HIM like Disney, do you even story bruh? jesus

@TobiasCooper1 @souljagoyteller And yet the creeds say Jesus suffered and was crucified "under Pontius Pilate" -- the only two non-God people mentioned by name in the creeds are Mary (the mother of God) and Pilate!

Why is it that Pontius Pilate is not more of a villain in Christian history? When reading the New Testament for the first time, I was shocked to see that Pilate is depicted more as doing his Roman duty and not as a satanic force

@JosephHella2 @theworsturl @iamrobothead It's on the fuel/ignition line, and the implication seems to be that it's artificially affecting the fuel output at ignition or something. I doubt the writers thought through the specifics in detail -- the point of the scene is primarily to set up the character relationships.

Interesting. Do they say what the compressor did exactly besides being part of the ignition/hyperdrive? Because a compressor is normally a mechanical function that can't be 'bypassed' by pulling out a circuit card. Normally a compressor compresses something (I know, I'm a genius). If she bypassed it just by pulling out a circuit card then that implies there was already a bypass valve perhaps already built in and somehow pulling the card made whatever WAS going to the compressor go back to a storage tank (usually) to be used again instead of just somehow going around the compressor unit itself which would defeat the purpose of the compressor altogether...

Luke fly's in virtually a straight line and needs help from Obi-Wan and Han. They establish that he is a good pilot several times. He has joined the Rebels so you could assume they check if he can fly. Rey does stunt-show acrobatics through the inside of a ship in a craft she has never flown, that needs two pilots.
Kevin Martin@KPMartin51

@iamrobothead Everyone saying well Luke said he is a good pilot so that’s good enough. Rey says she is a pilot too. Why is one good, one not?

@rudehaako @RJSWtrilogyWhen "Nearly all of the sets are constrained to have a circular floorplan of the same size (the size of the Volume), beyond which neither the camera nor the characters can pass (because it's a wall of screens)" is the point he's making. There's nothing wrong with roundness in general!

@RJSWtrilogyWhen I appreciate the extra info but I’m responding to something said in the post that makes it seem like circular rooms and buildings are specific to Disney Star Wars. There’s nothing else this sentence could mean.

@JosephHella2 @theworsturl @iamrobothead This compressor was added by Unkar Plutt (Rey's boss) -- it wasn't there when Han and Chewie had the ship! It's a bad, nonstandard modification and Rey had firsthand knowledge of the work; she says in the film that she thought it was a mistake at the time Plutt made the change.

@theworsturl @iamrobothead This part always makes me cringe... I get it's different tech but I have never in my mechanical career been able to 'bypass the compressor' without rendering the system nonfunctional entirely.

@romanhelmetguy If she really wanted to be culture warring to make you angry, she'd have gone with "tell me about a wayward husband" instead of "complicated man." 3/3

@romanhelmetguy Obviously the fact she's a woman shapes her translation -- translating "dmoe" as "slave;" not introducing words like "whore" (not present in the Greek!) to describe the women raped by the suitors; these are choices some other translators have made differently. 2/3

By the way, Emily Wilson intentionally positioned her translation as a culture war topic. She wanted people like me to post about how woke it is. The outrage marketing is good for Emily Wilson, and it’s good for me. But it discredits modern academia as a whole. Which is also good

@abbybuettner @WmWeedon It seems a fairly faithful rhyming translation of this verse: Verbum caro, panem verum Verbo carnem éfficit: Fitque sanguis Christi merum, Et si sensus déficit, Ad firmándum cor sincérum Sola fides súfficit. Is there something in particular it gets wrong? What do you prefer?

@WmWeedon It probably depends on how often they have adoration of the blessed Sacrament as the Pange Lingua/Tantum Ergo is sung during the benediction traditionally. I will note that this isn’t the original translation of the Pange Lingua.

@LyciaKing Your assumptions about what Luther said and meant are causing you to talk past your interlocutors when we need not disagree. Luther had a considered, nuanced position held by some other Catholics through time, and yet he did not remove any books from the Bible or the Liturgy.

@RyoGrattius @orion8137244788 @LyciaKing @AnimeAugsburg 2/2 about the Hebrew origin of, for example, a book with puns that only work in Greek. But he still translated them and included them in the German-language Bible. Lutherans to this day have an open canon; the "apocrypha" is not held to be definitely non-canon.

@RyoGrattius @orion8137244788 @LyciaKing @AnimeAugsburg They had not yet agreed that! Rome doesn't formally decide the canon until Trent, and they do it in part to retrospectively argue Luther heterodox. Luther follows in the footsteps of a number of the Fathers and later teachers in the Catholic Church in expressing scepticism -- 1/2
