Anna Hostel

02:42 AM - 2016 - Year in Review

New Laptop | I said that Trump was going to be the 45th President of the USA. | Was trying to extend my visa. Nobody would tell me why I was on a blacklist. I stayed at Anna Barbie Hostel Prison. | I stopped teaching at FYG English and other places due to Anna Barbie Policies, mostly. | Was watching The Walking Dead and Star Wars Rebels. | Was teaching at Anna English. Visited Dalat with Anna's family. | And then Anna Hostel Ended. | At that point, I only had a few dollars left. | But was able to get back up again around April. | Visited Love English | Zootopia July | In December, I ate some racist vanilla ice-cream. During the course of 2016, I was teaching English to different groups in Saigon, Vietnam, as usual. However, I also started teaching a Business English group, for example, and a few other groups too, off and on, as usual. Around March, FYG English discontinued due to the Anna Hostel Policy. During the first four months, I was staying at the Anna Hostel. Long story short, Anna and her family were trying to help me extend my visa. We had many adventures dating back to 2013. I bought a new laptop and also a new phone. While living in Vietnam, I had different phones. I watched all seven seasons of Star Trek: Next Generation in October. I watched other shows as well.

Episode 9

12:09 PM - Dissenter

It does not have to end at episode 9 any more than Disney had to use George Lucas' story outlines which Disney didn't use, meaning that if they can choose what is the new Disney Star Wars Canon and what is not, then they could, if they wanted to, not end the Skywalker saga at episode 9, that is if they wanted to, as Disney can do anything they want, because they already did do whatever they wanted to do, meaning that if they wanted to not end it at and in episode 9, then they could or could have done that if they wanted to.

Oh Deer.

Vader's Helmet

01:18 PM - Dissenter

But where did the Emperor get all these Mini Death Star ships? Did he have them before he got stuck in Vader's helmet? If so, could all those ships stay hidden for like thirty years and why would he use them in Return of the Jedi? If the Emperor got the ships after ROTJ, then when and how exactly? If they can sell a believable story in this 9th episode in order to help the general audience, who may not read all the books, comics, watch all the cartoons, shows, etc, then that may be an attempt towards undoing how bad The Last Jedi appeared to be for many of the fans.

Undoing Vader's Sacrifice

01:27 PM - YouTube | Dissenter

​Kenneth La Rocque said that the Emperor coming back in Star Wars, Episode 9, Rise of Skywalker, undos the sacrifice Vader gave. I disagree. I say no, it does not. If you save your mom's life, and then she dies the next day, does that mean you did not save her? No. It does not. You saved your mommy. You did, if you did. Vader did too. So, Vader tried his best, did he not? So, evil comes and goes. It is like winning a battle and not a war. These things happen in real life. Why not in fantasy as well? Do you not want Star Wars to be realistic? You can be a hero. You can save the day. That does not mean that bad things will never ever happen again. Did the prophesy say that Anakin would kill Palpatine? Did the prophesy say Palpatine cannot come back? Did the prophesy not say the Chosen One would bring balance to the force? Did the prophesy say for how long? I doubt it. But even if the prophesy or prophesies did, does that mean the prophesies could not or cannot be wrong or inaccurate, at all, ever, period, or what? Does it not, to quote Obi Won Kenobi, depend on your point of view? What if the prophesy was all about Force Ghost Vader killing Palpatine in that universe or in the netherworld?

Transgender Palpy

​​@Mr.Miles Chief Engineer, well, Yoda would have been more likely able to sense Palpy inside the helmet. It is possible Luke Skywalker was not at that same level in the force, even if he was granted the title of Jedi Master. But then again, arguably, eventually, Luke would have figured it out, if Palpatine was there. So, it could be a question of the skill level of Luke. It is possibly that Luke focused on lightsaber skills for example. Perhaps, he focused on certain areas of the force while neglecting other areas. So, he may have assumed that the presence he felt came from Vader and not the Emperor. Plus, anything that felt like the Emperor was already there, most likely, that is while Vader was alive as the master and the apprentice share a bond. On top of that, perhaps, Palpy designed the helmet so that he could possess it, as in customized it to ensure he would not be felt by other force users. Also, perhaps Palpy was able to cloud everything like he did in the prequels and like his master or master's master did, that is Darth Plagueis or I mean Tenebrous. I was reading that book about Plagueis and it talked about what Tenebrous did and that he probably lost his will to survive like Padme lol. But also, I was reading about what Plagueis did or might have done. I thought that Plagueis might have possessed Palpatine, Anakin, and/or others, that is before Palpatine murdered Plagueis in his sleep. In conclusion, I hope they talk about what Luke knew in the movies. I hope they can attempt to make it believable for the general audience, perhaps. Explaining how Palpatine survived may not be as hard as explaining how he got Mini Death Star Ships and everything. On top of that, why would he want to be in a female body? Why Rey clones? Is Palpatine transgender or what?

Top Star Wars Death Scenes

02:05 PM - YouTube | Dissenter

​@The Popcast, I was hoping, before we saw Last Jedi, that Snoke would have been Plagueis, or Darth Bane, or secretly controlled by Palpatine or Darth Maul, or something cleaver. I didn't really like how Palpatine died or appeared to die in Return of the Jedi when I first saw it in theaters for the first time as a twelve year old in 1997 with the Special Edition. I loved the prequels in some ways over the Original Trilogy. It appeared as if Palpatine died, allegedly, in ROTJ. I kind of didn't like how Darth Maul died, but I guess Maul was just a young idiot. The way Count Dooku died it is ok mainly because it shows you how powerful Anakin was and shows you how Anakin grew during the Clone Wars. I love the battle between Kenobi and Grievious. The way Kenobi sliced up Anakin was possibly the best, so far. In second place, Empire Strikes Back when Vader sliced off the hand of Luke. The way Snoke was killed was shocking, surprising, and yet the way they portrayed that scene or the whole idea of it may have been the worse out of the eight main films so far.

Story Archs

@Chappy Yes. I agree that they should have done a better job at telling one overarching story in this sequel trilogy.

​The Wilk Report, Did they not find Vader's lightsaber? A jedi could possibly feel the presence of a lightsaber and eventually find it, right? Did it not have sentimental value?

Explaining It On Screen

02:17 PM - YouTube | Dissenter

​@The Wilk Report, If they could explain how Palpatine returned, got all those ships, etc, in Rise of Skywalker, and if they could make all of that somehow believable, etc, on film, that is not in the books but in the actual movie itself lol, then good job, Disney. But that is unlikely to some extent. Most likely, there will be too many plot-holes, allegedly. The way the story is told in Episode 9 may be too confusing or too whatever. Plus, as Jeremy says, it is like a dirt sandwich meaning that the success of this 9th film does not undo The Last Jedi. That's true. But, Disney could at least make this 9th film amazing if they wanted to. But they kind of don't want to. But they could. But they kind of don't want to do that. They're not messing up Star Wars for money. They could have made more money telling great stories.

Why does it have to be the end of the Skywalker Saga?

Hacking Steemit

Allegedly speaking. I am not going to say that happened. Because they probably want to remove the content. In other words, it is not about money but about the information itself, most likely. Therefore, a downvote does not remove or edit the posts. The suspects are probably interested in deleting the content.

I wonder if China Blockchain could be allegedly worse than Facebook Cryptocurrency which is fake, that is the Libra.

​The Wilk Report, I agree that they did a terrible job trying to sell that to us. I'm just saying it could have been cool had they taken the time to explain how Orange Yoda Woman got it.

Darth Maul is Dead?

Kenobi killed Darth Maul in Rebels several years before A New Hope or it may not have said specifically when it was except that Kenobi looked almost as old as he did in A New Hope, well unless if Disney wanted to undo that episode or whatever.

Rey vs Ahsoka

05:44 PM - YouTube | Dissenter

​@Mr.Miles Chief Engineer, And it is not about the money. Long-term speaking, Disney could have made ten times the money globally had they simply tried their best to adapt even just five percent of the George Lucas Story Outlines. The sequel trilogy should have focused on Luke Skywalker. It is that simple. New characters can be introduced, if they wanted to, in episode ten. I would have had Luke as an old guy in episode 10. Perhaps, sprinkle Rey in the background of the ST, here and there. I would have slowly and gradually introduced Rey. I love Ahsoka, but Ahsoka developed during the 6 seasons of the Clone Wars. Ahsoka was in Rebels. It takes time to develop characters. I like Rey. But the art of story telling is an art. And Disney does not have to end the saga at episode 9. And yet they are for whatever the reason. But it is not a requirement any more than they had to follow what George wanted them to do which that guy said in his book that they didn't have to do meaning they don't have to end the saga either cuz they can do anything they want. Cuz they are Disney and they can do anything. Well, I guess the ST was supposed to be about the third generation. I guess. But I would have pushed them back to episode X. See, George was getting old, so he probably could only do nine main Skywalker films. But Disney does not have that excuse. Disney has the time and the money to make Star Wars for as long as it is profitable to do so.
