    You guys remember when you woke up and our biggest problem was Disney disappointing people with its Star Wars trilogy?

    Kinda miss those times now.

      I remember the time before everyone and their mother lived chronically online and were constantly bombarded with (fake) news. Terrible stuff - wars, famine, whatnot - has always happened, now we just know about it instantly.

      The Last Jedi and and Rise of Skywalker came out during Trump’s first term, UK had triggered article 50, natural disasters, North Korea was ramping up nuclear testing, a new age of fake news was taking shape, trade war, rise of Hindu nationalism… you know what you’re right, I do miss those times compared to now… But you know maybe this is the second act when things are most dire before… Well depends on the story arc 😅

      Not to ruin your moment, but both the Rwandan genocide and the Bosnian genocide happened several years before the star wars prequels

        I’m not trying to scare you, but the 90s was over two decades ago… I know I’m still in denial too
