The Expanse - 6x03

I loved this episode so much. It began with great conversations between the crew that were needed to see all of the different dynamics and bring our Roci crew together like Clarissa and Jim, Jim and Naomi, Amos and Bobbie (also the Bonus Content video of these two I love them both so much).

We got to see old favourites again! Anna is alive! Prax my dear I’m glad he is doing okay. This episode really hit me with the nostalgia for some reason. They even talked about the Canterbury and the Donnager.

Screw you Marco haha, the Roci did a lot of damage to their ships with Jim and Bobbie at the helm, I never doubted them. Plus with Belters calling Marco a coward for abandoning Ceres and Filip publicly and rightfully voicing Marco’s mistakes I’m starting to see a turnaround we love to see it. Leaving a million Belters basically starving with no air plus those explosions afterwards. Ceres is done for.

Drummer has more ships fighting alongside her now, Marco is gonna have even more problems good.

Jim disengaging the missile to essentially save Filip’s life, damn. That was something. We know he did it for Naomi. Reminded me of him logging the distress call on the Cant back in the first episode Dulcinea. But I think this will have a better effect as I’m theorising that Marco’s second hand ‘Rosenfeld’ seems to actually care about the livelihood of the Belt and may be the one to end him.

It's not the symbolic R*ySky part that sounds unbelievable, it's all the other batshit insane things being described by JP and MSW. Rey suddenly having force lighting and rejuvenating living beings and defeating Palpatine alongside two ghosts...wtf. This is too wild even by Lucasfilm's woke feminist fanservice standards, lol. Weren't MSW claiming before TLJ that Rey fights a sea monster in the film and she duels with Kylo as well? None of that panned out.

Force lighting Rey sounds hella fanbro-ish, but the rejuvenating/reliving powers... as awkward as it sounds (and tbh, the part about the sandworm is way too reminiscent of that Forces of Destiny “Sands of Jakku” episode), if Rey really has to *literally* resurrect Kylo in the end---and this is something we been speculatin for AGES, it has nothing to do with the leaks---her powers need to be foreshadowed earlier in the film SOMEHOW. Sort of like TLJ had ample foreshadowing for Luke’s force projecting himself and then dying of the effort.

But yes, while the symbolic part is okay or CAN be okay if dealt with in a certain way, the specific leaks sound... off. Maybe there’s some trace of truth here and there, but I don’t believe for a minute the final scene is THAT, with THAT dialogue.

Rian Johnson Explains Why Luke Had the Blue Lightsaber in 'The Last Jedi'

By: Dominic Jones

One question that has been asked of the climatic showdown between Luke Skywalker and Kylo Ren is why did Luke have the blue lightsaber instead of his green one from Return of the Jedi?  Director Rian Johnson shared his thought process for Luke would have the blue lightsaber rather than his green one in a new interview with IGN.

Johnson explained,"[Luke] is basically tailoring this projection to have maximum effect on Kylo. He knows that Kylo’s Achilles heel is his rage, and so that’s why he kind of makes himself look younger, the way Kylo would’ve last seen him in their confrontation at the temple,  and that’s why he decided to bring Kylo’s grandfather’s lightsaber down there -- the lightsaber that Kylo screamed at Rey, ‘that’s mine, that belongs to me."

Fans have also noted that the lightsaber Luke is using had recently been destroyed in "reality" and have wondered why this fact did not tip Kylo off to the fact that Luke was not actually there.  Johnson has an explanation for that as well, telling IGN, "The truth is, we see the lightsaber split in half -- Kylo sees a blinding flash of light and is knocked unconscious, and then Rey takes the lightsaber away before he wakes up."

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is in theaters now!
