Lightyears measure distance, not time.

When time is measured in meters you know you're in for one hell of a ride.

And parsecs measure distance, not time, and yet here we are.

I hate that retcon. Let Han Solo be a sleazy piece of shit conman. Stop trying to make his lies real via retains. Don't make him shoot in retaliation. In the original edit he has an arc. He goes from sleazy piece of shit to respected rebellion leader. Almost like he was a metaphor for how a lot of insurgents have backgrounds as pieces of shit. Now the cannon has him as a squeaky clean guy always doing the right thing even when sometimes he doesn't realize he's doing the right thing

How do you feel about Jar-Jar being a Dark Lord of the Sith?

Or midichlorians being attracted to the Force rather than being the source of it?

Do you have other retcons you don't like?
