I'm the same age as Taylor and I see at least one of my peers attending her concerts every week on social media. Her reach right now is insane.

Yeah also, how would he be able to wear the same clothes for 30 years? Not just because of the smell- I'm pretty good at taking care of my things but don't think I could keep them intact for that long.

They are doing another Rey movie but it won't be part of the "Skywalker Saga." Can't say I'm as excited as I would've been prior to IX but I will still definitely be there when it's out.

Love Rian Johnson, especially as a Breaking Bad fan.

I actually really liked Last Jedi on its own and consider it in the top half of my ranking of the franchise. I think Luke's characterization could've been handled better (and the whole Canto Bight subplot could've been cut wholesale) but looking at myself at 23 (how old Luke was in RotJ) and my experiences since, I found the lapse of judgement and faded optimism quite relatable. Adam Driver is one of my favorite actors and his portrayal of an abusive yet charismatic antagonist turned love interest was spot-on. There's also the comparisons you could make between the First Order and the rise of fascism in America today. That one's a bit of a stretch but it's important to recognize World War II's influence on the original trilogy and the Iraq War's on the prequels.

That said, Rise of Skywalker is not only the worst Star Wars film- I consider it the worst film I've ever watched. It's not a poorly-made film, the cinematography is great, but the plot is nonsensical. It redacts everything they set up in the Last Jedi, retroactively making that one worse than it is standalone. What seals it though is this will always be the ending of the saga- they can't go back and fix it. I've probably seen worse movies, but the disappointment will never reach the level that this one gives me.

I immediately thought of Sgt Yates from the South Park episode where this exact scenario happened.

It's hard to have any sympathy for people who have spent their lives making it abundantly clear they'd kill you if they had the chance.

On my brief 4-6 month career on Tinder many years ago, one of the only "successful" dates was someone who was trying to force it as much as possible. In their defense though, I feel like the apps encourage this.

It was here I learned that it was a huge turn-off for me and that I prefer to meet people organically.
