@ExLisper@Vedlt The cliffhanger in the second movie was legit homage to the old Saturday morning serials ,Buster Crabbe style. Not that I liked it, but I think it's legit. However, there is no forgiving the Ewoks, the yub yub dance, Jar Jar Binks, or a thousand and one other crass marketing grabs. And by the way, Han fucking shot first, mother-fucker.
@LordMayor@Vedlt I amused my sweetheart the other night by explaining the Lucas/Kurasawa influence, and pointing out that a katana is not a broadsword but is instead a type of saber, not heavy.
@queerlilhayseed@bjoern_tantau I think I'm okay with calling the side that uses technology to destroy entire planets "the bad guys." Your Sith mileage may vary.
@TheImpressiveX Back in 2000 I briefly taught at UC Santa Barbara. One class was a summer, two week course in Adobe Director for Japanese high school graduates prior to entering Ritsumeikan University. I cast about looking for a Japanese version of the program, but could not find it. One of the students later told me they wouldn't expect such a thing to exist, as English was the language of coding.
@9tr6gyp3@stat_rosa it's a predatory marketing issue and consumer capture issue. Notice also you no longer own your windows. It's just a license. But your Linux, like free speech free like free beer. Since there's no money in that, no shareholder return to protect, no politicians to be bought, it will always be a back burner reality in the corporate consumerist world.
