'Star Wars' Novelist Wrote An 'Episode IX' Script For The Fans, Retconning Parts of 'The Last Jedi'
If there is one thing that you cannot stop anymore than you can stop the twin suns of Tatooine from setting, its stopping Star Wars fans from arguing about Star Wars. From Ewoks to Gungans, reincarnated emperors and Mary Poppins-like Force powers, every fan has something they do not enjoy about the saga. Possibly the biggest target of this animosity is the eighth installment of the Skywalker saga, The Last Jedi. This movie came under fire from a large and very vocal group of fans who claim everything from it being the worst Star Wars movie ever made to that it completely destroys the Star Wars mythos, rendering the rest of the saga moot.
Culture SlatePublished 3 years ago in FuturismWhat George Lucas Said About The Prequels: “I’m Making A Movie That Nobody Wants To See”
The prequel trilogy of Star Wars has gained a following over the years, but it has not been without its criticisms.

These movies and the characters and factions who appeared in them were not always how fans who had only seen the original trilogy expected them to be.

The Nerd HabitPublished 3 years ago in FuturismSpace Travel
The dining area was packed as usual. People were sitting next to each other, packed in like sardines. To them it was normal, but to me it was suffocating and I could hardly stand it. I looked as the food servers put what they called pizza on my plate along with a large portion of salad.

However, I don’t think that the Earthlings of the past would approve of this pizza. I’ve seen pictures in the archives and this looks nothing like those.

Lewis JefferiesPublished 3 years ago in FuturismRelativity, the Problem With Perception
Preface A world of relativity, hell for those seeking the absolute, the truth. So many opinions, so many perspectives each claiming equal validity as merely an opinion. A world of many entities all experiencing the same phenomena yet perceiving them very differently and concluding in stark contrast. This world, this reality is very much is analogous to the story of the tower of Babel in biblical scripture. Systems built upon systems of limitation of perception and expression. I posit that this reality is designed to obscure truth. If the pessimistic slant of my words put you off reading further i.e. the emotional tone of message matters to you then it is unlikely that you seek truth; for to seek truth is to do so without expectation of its appeal or lack thereof.
