Oh I know. I just happened to agree with a couple of points despite that. also your point on the timeframe of the empire is something I’d never considered and kinda funny actually.

I agree with it being in hindsight. I didn’t enjoy it when it first came out. I enjoyed it much more after the disappointment of the sequel trilogy. Agree on the midiclorians. Also agree on the fights and podracing.

We were very good. They were very bad. Jets win, fuck the Pats.

TPM is better than all three sequels. It actually feels like Star Wars. Force Awakens was better the first time I saw it because it was new and exciting to have Star Wars back. Last Jedi is a misplaced film. Didn’t feel like Star Wars, tried to change the formula (which doesn’t work as one film out of a trilogy) and Rise just undid everything anyway. The second film doesn’t fit in the trilogy, which is both the fault of JJ and Rian, but JJ clearly couldn’t tell an original story so copied the homework of the original films. Also huge missteps. Character assassination of pretty much every major character. Missing the chance of putting the OG squad back together. Essentially making the “win” of the original trilogy pointless by them defeating the Empire just to immediately have the First Order replace them. And randomly wheeling out Palpatine.. and announcing it via words scrolling before the film. I will say that the three sequels do have some very good set pieces and scenes, and some lovely cinematography at times. I don’t think they’re like 2/10 bad. I didn’t actively dislike watching them as I watching them (although Last Jedi felt like a parody at times), but it was after consuming the whole thing and seeing the story it told through, it gets worse.

Finally watched the whole sequel Star Wars trilogy. Anyway I’m watching the prequels now because I might actually enjoy them after the dump the newest trilogy took on the franchise. Even Jar Jar Binks is gonna be an improvement over that nonsense.

Re: Chiefs.. the missed hold on the Bengals player during that play is why they should feel aggrieved. Offset penalties. Anyway, fuck that. Jets win.

I’d raaaather stick with the option built into gamepass but I’ll go with the flow.

I don’t do international management really. So I don’t reaaaally care but realistically it did need a big focus and refresh.. however it’s basically now a swap for women’s leagues which if he thinks the 5% of international managers was low just wait till he reviews next years data.

Agree on Jack and Tom. Didn’t lose a game domestically for two years, got FMed twice in Europe and it means they never stood a chance. Really poor point system. Also the team choices were weird. Three teams also expected to dominate domestically so it means it’s up to those knock out games in Europe. Had no idea about the French thing. Surely there’s enough cameras they’ll catch whoever did it.

MGW is a good call up. Colwill must be the plan at LB? Not sure Madueke and Gomes are the right call ups, but it's good to see new players coming in.

He's more like a pepper than a keeper.

The Carsley Carcrash.

Think I heard them saying there'll be like a roundup of points so far and whatever at the end of the day, but unsure if it's like a highlights and update thing. FIFAe channel is trash, agreed. I've been watching Jack and Tom, as I like both, and it's entertaining. Interesting to watch them speedrun a season with so much on the line. Zealand and Clayts are both also streaming, but they're casting various streams and giving good coverage. Benjy and Kev are both seemingly just hanging out where they want and jumping in and out streams.
