Everybody gets into Star Wars differently. One of my father’s first dates with my mother was seeing Star Wars. The only movies I’ve ever seen with my father, aside from Black Panther and Amistad (realizes how Black af our movie record is together), is Star Wars Episode I-III. I remember watching the originals on VHS and as the story continues with Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, I notice so do the L’s for The Resistance. No disrespect, I’m all for the cause of raging against the evil empire (anyone catch that reference?). I’m with the resist shits… but we’re not going to act like this side of history hasn’t taken “L” after fucking “L” man. “Yeah, we took down the Death Star… how many years ago was that (0 BBY)? Are we still holding onto that win on some Al Bundy once scored 4 touchdowns in one game shit? I’m just saying, there comes a time when you’re like, “Aye, I know the Empire is corrupt and I’d never defect… but their benefits package tho.” I’d be so annoyed as a soldier in The Resistance because every movie it feels like they just get more bad news or updates on worse news. Taking down the Galatic Empire / First Order has become a group project where the Resistance and The Jedis (whats left of them) keep getting partial credit. For real man, imagine reading the galactic newspaper headlines and finding out how much worse shit has gotten on a daily basis. Multiple Jedis Slain in Drive-by (may be gang-related)
“WHAT THE FUCK? Have yall seen the latest headline…
