Also, I find it hilarious how Vince refers to players standing for the anthem as a long tradition, even though it wasn't compulsory until 2009. But sure, good job proving you don't want politics in your league by citing the single most divisive political issue in sports over the last decade.

He Concuss Me

Considering how NASCAR's ratings are in the tank, I don't see how this can backfire at all.

So Mark is cutting Reggie off at the knees to make a splashy hire. Guess he's more like his old man than I thought.

I loved GotG as well, but then again I went into the first film with zero expectations. I didn't know the comic or any of the characters. The comparison will be more fair if you still get wowed after 7 or 8 more Guardians movies.

I have to wonder if Lucas planned that or just sort of stumbled into it, because it's actually one of the more interesting storylines post-OT.

Update: The new season has put the show largely back on track, and the Earth-X crossover event was great.

A hundred times this. The prequels and Clone Wars series (which is canon, don't @ me) make it abundantly clear that the Jedi we all mythologized after the first trilogy had devolved into nothing more than some mystical paramilitary group that was a tool of the ruling government. Their so-called...

It likely took more out of him than we suspect, and much like Obi-Wan he felt like his work was done. He finally found the peace that had...

Let's just chalk that one up to First Order arrogance, in the same spirit as the Emperor's decision to guard the shield generator for the 2nd Death Star with at best a few hundred troops.

My takeaway from that last bit with the kid wasn't that it was a setup for the next generation of Jedi being shown on film, but merely to show that their legacy will live on and serve as an inspiration throughout the galaxy. Much in the same way that Luke himself was inspired by stories of the...

Indeed. I still love ROTJ just because of my sentimental attachment, but watching it now it's clear that the franchise had already run out of gas. Most of the cast (particularly Harrison Ford) looks totally bored, and a lot of the story just rehashes beats from the first movie. But most...
