JJ also messed up a lot of the core ideology of Star Trek when he got those movies as a stepping stone to get Star Wars. I like how he assembles casts, but I don't like the stories he tells.

Some of the old EU of Star Wars is good that it's gone...(I'm thinking of the overly detailed info on Darth Vader's breathing gear)...but a lot of it was just fine, and I always appreciate how Dave Filoni brings back a lot of it, where he can, to make it canon again

I'm pretty disappointed by the new trilogy, especially given all the work that went into Clone Wars and Rebels, just for the movies to ignore a ton of that and make up new stuff....that replicates what already exists, and to not let any of the original trilogy triad to live past 60 or so. :(

There's lots of stuff in the new movies I liked, like new characters, but overall, I was sad they weren't given more time to really let the audience get to know them without having plot device after plot device thrown at them.

Clone Wars starts out rough, but it's really good. You can go either in broadcast order, or chronological. If you google it, there should be an episode list. It really redeemed the prequel characters and premise for me.

I just don't know what else to say about wild animals

....anyway, I see you have an adorable child in your signature.

I need to watch The Mandalorian, but at least I finally finished my rewatch of Rebels and cried through season four, which I hadn't wanted to finish because I didn't want it to be over

Yeah, squirrels are well endowed and it's just a little shocking when you see them

@skettiyeti: they probably became more valuable as pack animals, and in europe they were really useful for wars, so we probably got out of the habit of seeing them as food animals first, and into the habit of seeing them as valuable companions instead.

idk, that's just my guess

The ironic thing about horses is we domesticated them because they're delicious, apparently

Durian candy tastes like pungent carmelized onions....which is not a candy flavor I enjoy, even if I like carmelized onions normally

Avocado is a good replacement for salmon in sushi

I have eaten durian. I would again, but I want the malaysian durian that apparently tastes the best

@koneko: durian candy is disgusting. Actual durian tastes better...but I still don't love it
