@Gabriel1847835 @EchoThunderbolt This isn't really much different from how magic is described in fantasy works that have lore about its mechanics. Harry Potter for example.

@EchoThunderbolt Midi-chlorians never demystified the Force. The Force is the energy created by all living beings; it is vital energy, and midi-chlorians are life forms. The Force is spiritual but also has a scientific and biological side.

Star Wars fans REALLY need to stop thinking that the Force is "magic".

I think the rejection of Sabine becoming force sensitive and this mocking idea that “anyone can use the force” is completely antithetical to what the force represents and the real world magic/mysticism that inspired it. Why would we ever look at the Force as something exclusive?

@hotmesslex18 Same here. Fair play to the people who can read 100+ pages an hour, but I don't think it's really the norm.

i have to be honest i am a VERY slow reader in my head. sometimes i’ll get caught up trying to visualize the scene in my head, or i’ll get distracted and realize i haven’t been paying attention to what i’ve been reading so i’ll go back and reread it. ive made peace with this lol!

i think everyone is overestimating how long it takes to read a book. some books do be long but your average book takes like 3-5 hours in total.

Absolutely!!! Why are we STILL requiring students to take foreign language in high school when there is virtually no benefit.
Do high schoolers become fluent in the foreign language? No.
Does it have a high ROI on cognitive development and brain health? Also no.
Students’ brains would benefit more from 60 minutes of aerobic exercise than from sitting in a foreign language class.
Also, we all have translators in our pockets.
This is one of the many requirements in education whose time has expired.
Public ed must stop wasting students’ time.

American high schools are wrong for requiring American students to learn Spanish in order to earn advanced diplomas, while not giving those same students the option to take practical classes like electrical or wood shop.

Forever thinking about how there was a scene filmed for The Rise Of Skywalker where Kylo Ren uses The Force on Chewbacca’s mind, only for it to completely backfire when Chewie’s memories remind him how much Han actually meant to Ben growing up.
It ultimately was cut from the final film for being a little too dark, but it’s such a great character moment that I’m glad still exists within Episode IX’s expanded novelization.
Would love to see the deleted scenes from this film one of these days!

I have now officially seen all of the 28 days movies, is it common consensus that every one of them is really good except for 28 Weeks, which really sucks?

@BestMovieMom Pretty funny to put this quote with this scene when Tarantino's novelisation of OUATIH has the girl (who is 15yo btw) taking off her panties & masturbating in the car at this point. And it very much isn't "essential to the story".
English
Quentin Tarantino says sex is not part of his “vision of cinema”
“It’s a pain to shoot sex scenes... If there had ever been a sex scene that was essential to the story, I would have, but so far it hasn’t been necessary.”
English
@BestMovieMom I hate to be that guy, but if he has never shot a sex scene how does he know that it is a pain?
