@mask_bastard @GenieRiot You'd love Ebert's classic review. He spoke a lot about that moment... #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">rogerebert.com/reviews/return…

The emotion of rancor trainer scene recontextualizes everything we just went through fighting it with Luke. As a writer, that’s a goal. In our dungeons & dragons games I love doing that rug pull, having the heroes find out the bandits they slaughtered weren’t just murdering psychos they had motivations for being brigands and they’re dead now dude 🤣

what happened to Star Wars?

@elaina0__ It looks like there's a seat for more than one of them.

Who should Be Given A seat First !!!

@GenieRiot @mask_bastard I enjoyed "The Force Awakens" (though I hated the death of Han Solo) when it came out. But now I can't watch it because I know where it all led. In 2015 people said, "This is the best time to be a Star Wars fan!" 2 years later, nobody was saying that.

@SuperJoey007 @mask_bastard Nah, Empire and Jedi are good. I also think the new sequels had a lot of potential...too bad disney pussed out.

@mask_bastard @GenieRiot That is a great moment! Roger Ebert mentioned it in his review of Return of the Jedi. Ask my 7-year-old self which is the best Star Wars movie and I would have said, "Return of the Jedi." The speeder chase on Endor! Jabba! The rancor!

@GenieRiot @SuperJoey007 A lot of people do not love Jedi the same way. I’m of the opinion that the first and third act are fantastic, some of the best Star Wars that ever Star Warsed, but that second act drags quite a bit in Jedi. Not that I hate it. My favorite scene in all Star Wars is in Jedi.

@PetriOP I tend to hold my wife's hand through most of the Mass, including but not limited to the Our Father. But the rest of the church does not. Growing up, I belonged to a church that held hands, even across the aisles. I never knew it was a controversy.

Priests should never do it. (Yes, I’ve seen it). Laity? Don’t do it. But that’s not a hill I’ll die on. I have my eyes set on bigger hills when it comes to Sacred Liturgy and the Holy Mass.

@Kristinartz Allowed? Sure. Why? Does somebody not allow it? The girl with the dragon tattoo ate Happy Meals.

Having a debate with my husband… should adults be allowed to order from the kids’ menu? 🤔

@GenieRiot @mask_bastard That much I guessed. I was just curious if that was a criticism of it. As in, "It sucked because..."

@SuperJoey007 @mask_bastard I mean the lightsabre duel wasn't as fast paced as in the prequels...

@TheCatholicEngr An atheist wanted to date a Catholic? Interesting. Sounds like the start of some Catholic-themed rom com.

Thinking about the time I explicitly wrote on Hinge "Will only date practicing Catholics" in one of the prompts And a guy DM'ed me to start up a convo I went to his profile, confirmed the religious affiliation said 'Catholic', then agreed to go out on a date with him When I got to the restaurant, I asked how old he was when he received his First Holy Communion And he was like, "What's a First Holy Communion?" Turns out he was an atheist and he edited his Hinge profile seconds after he saw my profile and reached out I deleted the app after that

@EmilySm43 If the man works and the woman is a housewife, she should do the dishes. But! 1- If she asked me to do them, I would. And without complaint. 2- I would even do them if she didn't ask, just to be helpful.

🤔

@DuchessofGeeks @trumplicans2024 Oh, I didn't know self-employment counted.

@trumplicans2024 13+ years. I worked for myself and my husband. The male boss kind sucked but the female was awesome but a bit scatterbrained

so...

@JamesAsay4 @trumplicans2024 Awesome! Thank you for defending the country!

@trumplicans2024 20 1/2 years. United States Air Force 🇺🇲🇺🇲

@trumplicans2024 4 years at Dollar General. Worked my way up to assistant manager. But a new manager stopped scheduling me because he wanted to hire his "own" assistant. That's where loyalty got me.

@Dhanson52 @conquertheno Suddenly I'm thirsty.

@conquertheno Yasmine Bleeth

Whose poster was on your wall?

@conquertheno I had a painting of the USS Enterprise on one wall and a painting of Christ on the other. So my room was a homage to God and Star Trek.

@AladyPL Only 50%? That's surprising.

Is this true?

@oelma__ Well, all of those great men had a mom.

Tell..

@uscfan981 Circuit City- Overpriced Blockbuster- Drove far better video stores out of business Sam Goody- Who? Toys R Us- Overpriced So I guess... Kmart?

Which one

@Catholic_bro The Latin Mass AND Novus Ordo are BOTH traditional Masses and are both wonderful. That shouldn't be controversial but, somehow, these days it is. Division sells, I guess.

What’s the most “controversial” Mass take you have?

@HawkEmDownChris My parents would never do that. But I'd gladly offer it to them. I'd give it ALL to my parents, brothers, and sister. I'd keep "only" $500K for myself.

What are you doing?

@Xtopher_Uzo I learned that I have a TERRIBLE memory. Fr. Thomas Sagili (from India) said, "My dear people of God, remember this always; never forget....." And I honestly can't recall what came next. My wife takes notes though. So I can ask her in the morning.

Catholics, what did you learn from today's homily during the Holy Mass?
