Thanks, and thanks for the encouragement along the way. ^^

Trying to pose it recently, though, I now realize I'm going to have to tighten the arm joints up so they're not so limp when I try to get it to hold up the damn rifle. 🫩

Well, they only started reporting about it on the weekend.

Kinda weird reading about it after the fact.

I mean, the cat's there, too, but I wouldn't trust him either.

Thanks, I remember there was loud music coming from the dining area, so I guess that covered up all the commotion.

Or at least balance fan feedback alongside every other concern that goes into making a coherent movie.

The term "Fanservice" tends to have negative connotations, especially when it's applied in a shallow and desperate attempt to appease angry fans.

Overcorrection.

TFA: Fans bitched about how the prequels didn't "feel" like the originals? Make this one feel so much like ANH it's basically a reboot.

TLJ: Fans complained TFA played it too safe? Take BIG swings and risks!

TROS: Shit, nevermind. Full reverse and triple down on the fan service.

Can't wait to see how applicants figure out a way to game the system.

At the mention of a potential AI God, I envision a convenient scapegoat politicians can blame the increasingly terrible state of the world on, unplug it and go "Who's dumb idea was it to put that thing in charge?!" while hoping no one points out it was them.

More like we need somebody to blame besides ourselves, IMO.

C'mon, even the most jingoistic of US propaganda doesn't make this case.
