Honestly, the attitude in this place is contagious!

I mean, there were plenty of apologists for the Nazis when they were quickly rising, or those content to dismiss them as harmless rabblerousers, and plenty of antivaxxers before the modern day.

We just tend to forget those who were on the wrong side of history.

Prefect Pilate, get the cross. We have another cult leader stirring up trouble in Iudea.

To me, the original trilogy is… ok.

The original trilogy has a very mythological feel that none of the other works have ever managed to fully capture (and, honestly, that feeling was on the wane even as early as Episode 6). I can name the modern works, outside of Star Wars, that have that atmosphere on one hand. It’s a very delicate balance to get that atmosphere, and I think even the OT only succeeded at it by happy accident.

Still, Andor felt so fundamental, quintessential Star Wars.

I agree entirely. Can’t wait to see Season 2!

Exactly! Any other faction that wins and takes over the galaxy is still running a dystopia. The Orks, however, would be ruling over a utopia where everyone is happy (on account of being Orks and thrilled to fight one another). The Orks deserve to win from a utilitarian standpoint of maximizing happiness!

Honestly only ranks below the original trilogy for me. It’s really fantastic on all levels.

Um, but… isn’t this the guy who murdered several guards and robbed star wars fort knox though.

What are you talking about? He’s just a tourist!

Bullshit, the Orks are working towards increasing average happiness in the galaxy!

I tend to believe the Yemeni version because of the earlier evidence, but you’re correct that neither origin is definite, and history probably will never be fully certain on the matter.

“Burnt water” is how I described the taste to my coffee-loving grandparents after numerous (and enthusiastic! I wanted to like it) attempts to find coffee I liked.

I don’t care for the taste, but the smell is truly fantastic.

Chewing the beans, I believe.

Explanation: While use of coffee beans originated in Ethiopia, it was the Arabs of the 15th century AD who discovered that it could be brewed into a drink. While I’m not a coffee drinker myself, both an appreciation for the historical importance of the drink and the fantastic smell makes me thankful for the discovery as well! Truly the world’s first step into modernity 🙏

My grandparents used to watch it. I think it had one (1) funny moment I saw in all the show’s run that I caught when living with them - when Neil DeGrasse Tyson calls up Bill Nye and says “I hear you’ve been talking shit about me”, and Nye immediately hangs up the phone in abject terror.

Fantastic 🙏
