i like how yoda basically doesn't help obi-wan in anyway really, the kid tells him what happened and what should have been an obvious conclusion, yoda doesn't tell him anything further he doesn't obviously know and just says he'll meditate on it while obi-wan goes and investigates the location

though i've always liked the idea of yoda being just this jedi grifter who people think is a grand master because of his speech impediment, it's how he treats luke at first in esb too

Yoda just trolls everyone.  He's the laziest Jedi ever.   What did he even do when he was younger, I wonder?  I'm sure there's some dumb extended universe novel about it.

Very little is known about Yoda's early life. He was from a remote planet, but which one remains a mystery.[11] According to one legend,[8] Yoda originally did not know that he was Force-sensitive at all.[7][11] His path towards the Jedi began when he left his home planet[7][11] with a Human friend,[7] who also did not know he was Force-sensitive,[7] on an old, barely space-worthy ship en route to the Core Worlds[7] to seek employment[7][11]. However, long before they could reach their destination, the ship was struck by a large asteroid, causing it to become severely disabled beyond their abilities to repair. They spent several days drifting dead in space during which time both their life support systems and rations came close to being exhausted, and there was still no response to their distress signal. It seemed like they would soon meet their deaths until their sensors picked up a star system not too far away.[7] They had just enough power to make it there,[7] and did so before[7] crash landing on a strange[7][11] swampy planet covered with a dense fog[7].

They spent a few days there before being found by a strange being: Hysalrian Jedi Master N'Kata Del Gormo, who revealed to them both that they were very much Force-sensitive.[7] The Jedi Master invited Yoda to become his apprentice, also known as a Padawan.[11] Master Gormo took them to his home where he trained them in the ways of the Force and, not long after their training was complete, a Galactic Republic starship picked up their distress signal and rescued the two friends, who were now Jedi themselves.[7] Departing the world, Yoda would go to Coruscant where he would continue his training at the Jedi Temple as a Jedi Initiate. When Yoda had completed his Padawan training, he became a Jedi Knight, meaning he could go on important missions. By the age of 96, he had become a Jedi Master. Later, he was elected to join the Jedi High Council.

i don't care what the rest of this page says until it gets to the movies or anything, Yoda's now officially just some random drifter who "fell into" the Jedi Council in my head canon

He also runs away like a little asshole after a little fight with the emperor. Didn't even have the courtesy to fake an injury when he met up with obi wan again.

[benjipwns]

think about it this way, Obi-Wan's come in, he did a search probably a few times and it's not finding shit for him, so he asks her like "wtf this shit broke yo" and she's custodian of the greatest archive known to society, and she can't find it doing the same exact thing Obi-Wan probably did before asking her, then he has the gall to suggest somethings wrong with the library and she's going to scoff at him like he's nuts

i don't think Obi-Wan is well known outside the Jedi, he got quickly promoted because Qui Gonn was killed, he's got the apprentice nobody wants taught, he's not even a Master I don't think other than provisionally towards Anakin, he's like another step down still, so to the librarian he's like an instructor or maybe a visting professor coming in talking about missing planets in her perfect database

the library staff aren't designed to figure out why there's no planet there, just like they don't do your research for you in our modern libraries just find you stuff they have marked on the subject, that's why he's gotta go find an eight year old to solve it for him

the bigger question is what's on all those massive shelves, like nobody wants books anymore so they're all stored in a vault, but people expect huge shelves in a library so they just put up all these light things on them while you access everything through one of the few terminals shown

also i like how obi-wans datathing is basically a usb flash drive and he even yanks it out without going to "eject/safely remove hardware" first just force pulls it out from ten feet away

[benjipwns]

It's amazing how anyone who dislikes Black Panther must be a racist. At least this guy is upfront and doesn't do all that "you know why" bullshit.

i can't think of another reason someone wouldn't think it's not the best film of the year and probably one of the three best of the century, especially when people start describing their wack reasons to downgrade it like MLK's legacy, they ain't that slick

it certainly crushes any other film you want to talk about like infinity war or spider-man or justice league or the last jedi or jurassic world or deadpool or solo or ready player one, i mean maybe if we saw the snyder cut it'd be different but we won't so it's not like there's any other film out there to stand up to it, certainly not one with an important message that is inspiring billions

like what else you gonna bring up, jumanji? pacific rim?

[benjipwns]

he also had that dumb limp dick lightsaber. maybe dooku is the real fraud here

Dooku is one of the more baffling characters in the most baffling of a baffling set of films developed through a baffling set of decisions...really the whole separatist plotline and Dooku are really up there...

AOTC is arguably best summed up by the fact that the titular Attack of the Clones, which dominates one of the plotlines and is the non-Anakin bullshit pole of the movie, happens in the last ten minutes, totally on the side of the "good guys", for entirely in-world justified reasons (the droid army) which is why the Jedi sign on...Yoda and Obi-Wan's foreboding comments notwithstanding...and then the Clone Wars all happen in a TV series

[agrajag]

Count Dooku is where they jumped the shark for me. Like why the fuck is there a random Count? There was no previous indication that there's some kind of feudalism in the galaxy.

[bork]

Count Dooku is where they jumped the shark for me. Like why the fuck is there a random Count? There was no previous indication that there's some kind of feudalism in the galaxy.

Nerdo-storyline explanation:

Dooku was a Jedi Master who fell to the dark side of the Force and became a Dark Lord of the Sith, known as Darth Tyranus. Born into a noble family on the planet Serenno, he was the heir to vast wealth and the noble title of Count. Dooku was taken by the Jedi Order as a child and apprenticed to Thame Cerulian. As a Jedi Knight, he took Qui-Gon Jinn as his first Padawan, and later trained Komari Vosa. Dooku was a respected instructor in the Jedi Temple and one of the most renowned swordsmen in the galaxy, surpassed only by Grandmaster Yoda and equal to Master Mace Windu.

The real reason, I'd wager, was that it was an homage to Christopher Lee's older roles like Count Dracula.

[agrajag]

I know, but I'd wager most people that watch Star Wars movies don't know/care about EU bs, so dropping a count on them out of the blue is cray

awww the restera ban site is gone

hope it's only temporarily

From a certain site:

ResetEra filed a trademark notice against GitHub, who gave it to me. I didn't see it until I saw the site go down. New site, with a non-trademark infringing username:

https://resetbanbot.github.io/

I do not believe the contents of the website itself creates any sort of market place confusion, and is clearly labeled a ban bot aggregator with direct links to the original content. Perhaps I will add "unofficial" or "fan-made" to the page.

Direct from ResetEra Inc.

The reported account is infringing on our trademark by posing as an official aggregator of content from our website. Their repos contain anti-semitic content (as seen in the upper left) which is highly damaging to our trademark and brand. Additionally, their repos and account were expressly created for the purpose of tarnishing the image of ResetEra, LLC.

(The "anti-semitic content" was a star of David the creator put there because he is Jewish and it's in protest of actual Nazis)

I've established a backup, non-GitHub host: https://reeera.neocities.org/
Neocities will be regularly updated, but the updates will be delayed behind the GitHub primary site due to the nature of how they accept automatic uploads.

The bot will self-archive the posts page after updates:
https://archive.fo/https://resetbanbot.github.io/*
https://archive.fo/https://reeera.neocities.org/*
https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://resetbanbot.github.io/posts/
https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://reeera.neocities.org/posts/

Neocities supposedly will automatically pin the site in IPFS, but it hasn't generated me a hash, yet.

Finally, I created a PGP key and a Pastebin for ULTIMATE DAMAGE CONTROL.

Other info:

Thanks to some graphs, we know the following:

* While they've maintained some pretty steady userbasing and traffic, this is a mere shred of the traffic they had when ResetERA got started. At current, the site's traffic and income is about one quarter what it was in October 2017. The actual consistent traffic fluctuates, but generally is about 20-40% of that number. As of July 4th, 2018, they have fewer hits per page than they ever have.

* Alexa shows some surprisingly positive results for them, but solely because they've only really been audited once, about three months ago, long after the free-fall plummet from October of 2017, and as such it looks like a straight line with the usual minor fluctuations until recently.

* Critically, Alexa's data shows that they bleed about 1500 users a month, presumably divided between banhammer recipients, dead accounts getting removed from the calculations, and so on. The account fluctuation seems to be coming from how well they're able to offset the bleed or not at the end of a given month.

* Fittingly, the site's reach is in a free-fall plummet and is currently in the midst of an all-time low.

* This is despite a significant increase in ranking in search results due to them being piped by friendly sites (Siliconera, Destructoid, Kotaku, etc). Over 70% of the traffic to ResetEra is via such piping (direct links on other sites), with Social Media accounting for less than 7% of its traffic and affiliate links barely over 2%. Somehow this has resulted in there being substantially more pageviews, but less pageviews per user. Predictably the time range for users on the site is also fucking awful.

Conclusions: ResetEra isn't doing so well. It's been having increasingly shrinking reach despite considerably improved traffic to the site, and that has a lot to do with its insane moderator staff chasing off anyone who dares show critical thought or an understanding of causality. Basically every other gaming site is doing better, with even NeoGAF doing better despite dramatically slashed numbers.

I don't think he was a like....an actual count. It was just a name, like Darth Icky, ELAN SLEAZEBAGANNO, NOTLUWISKI PAPANOIDA, and SALACIOUS B. CRUMB

I saw the "new controversy"  with Scarlett Johanssen playing a trans man and could have sworn that Jared Leto got HEAVY praise just a few years ago for playing a trans woman (including Oscar, Golden Globe, and SAG awards) and thought it was weird that a woman playing a transman is now super terrible and everyone should be ashamed. But then I looked it up and there are think pieces about how we shouldn't celebrate Leto's performance as a trans woman anymore and he wouldn't be casted for such a role today. A mere 5 years later.

i know that when i watch a movie, i am looking for realism from everyone.   if Tom Cruise ain't a real actual spy, then he has no place being in these Mission Impossible films.   no more acting!  only real people doing what they do in real life!
