    It’s light side only. Lucas explicitly justified Anakin’s presence by saying it’s because he turned back to the light side at the end, Sith are unable to do that.

    You don’t want planet eaters to influence the galaxy after their dea- oops they found other villainous methods anyway. Your barbaric soul reincarnation / cloning vs my righteous light side paradise ghost, etc.





  • I feel like this was true in the 90s and 00s, but since the advent of really big movies like Marvel, cinemas are less stingy with subtitles. Small ones may only do dubs, but in big cities, you’ll find places that always have subs. I don’t think I’ve ever noticed any egregious translation shitshow in the subs - maybe precisely because the industry is already used to actually translating something you could say in French. At most, back in the 90s you would always get attempts at heavily localized expressions that verge on cultural erasure (Thanksgivings episodes were always “family reunion”), not so much blatant nonsense, but now we’re more comfortable with just doing proper translations. Unless the publisher just doesn’t care to put any money in this show.

    I’ve no idea what the state of subbed TV shows is right now, though. I’m sure TV still prefers to air dubs, but the relevant channels have the option of switching between subbed and dubbed, and then there was the whole DVD/BR industry that still always had subs, and AFAIK that has always worked well. Like, maybe 30 years ago your favorite show had DVDs with no English track, dub only, but that shit stopped. I’m not sure how that industry has been doing in the recent years of streaming taking over, and I don’t even know if streaming services in France have sub options or dub only…


  • The explanation is that the movies famously cut out a LOT from the books, and fans were kinda sad about it, and the show aims to restore a whole bunch of that. In a vacuum, this would be a nice thing actually, like a Lord of the Rings show that restores the full content of all of Tolkien’s books properly, the people want the Bombadil cut (oh look, what’s Stephen Colbert doing over there?). Fans wanted it, and a lot of people will be very happy about it as long as it doesn’t bomb. It’s just a shame that Rowling will also be very happy about it, couldn’t even wait for her to die so that they don’t have to pay her.



  • when the center left, the far left, and everyone in between sets aside their differences to present a united resistance.

    So you do understand that we need a center left party that will put aside their differences and vote together with the left? Because right now, a lot of European and North American countries don’t have that, they have a center right party that is willing to put aside their differences with the far right to vote against the left. This isn’t a problem with left unity.









  • Et on ne l’a pas fait par hasard, il est là pour signaler qu’on ne touche pas à Hormuz parce qu’on a besoin de notre pétrole.

    Le bateau est déployé près de Chypre, parce que Chypre a été frappé et Chypre est un membre de l’OTAN. C’était plus que prévisible.

    Je suis d’accord que la présence militaire “pour contrer la menace terroriste” est de base liée aux actions des US, Israel, Europe, qui définissent que se défendre contre invasions militaires et génocides est automatiquement une menace terroriste. Mais pour le CDG, c’est Chypre et l’OTAN, ça pouvait pas se passer autrement. J’attends de voir si la France va faire autre chose de plus direct.
