latin professor tried to explain the difference between ille/illa/illud and iste/ista/istud by saying “If you say ‘illum’ you mean ‘that man’, but if you say ‘istum’ you mean that motherfucker’ before gasping, covering his mouth, and whispering “I forgot I can’t say that that until I get tenure”
different professor for latin 201. she asked if we remembered the difference between “ille” and “iste” and 80% of the class nodded sagely and went “motherfucker”
Rian actually does his research while JJ and Chris contradict canon material that says Force healing uses the Force AROUND you, not your own life energy and therefore isn’t lethal.
I spent countess hours on wookipedia researching shit for my fanfic so that even the name of a flower or food had a canon name. I researched the different planets and locations I wrote them in. And the actual writers of Star Wars didn’t bother.
Rian Johnson is a true Star Wars fan. If he had directed Ep IX, the ending would have been extremely happy, hopeful and fulfilling
These tweets are from a year ago and the link doesn’t work anymore so maybe they were deleted??? Anyway, Jan 2018 was still the middle of TROS shooting, so…..this is curious. I hope it relates to Rian’s research for his own trilogy!!!
There were people complaining that Luke’s projection on Crait was entirely made up by Rian and had no basis in the larger Star Wars canon. So he went to his shelf, pulled out one of the ‘holy grail’ books of Star Wars lore, and showed the page for the ability he’d had Luke use in the movie.
