Wasn't that Luke? Or is that something else Lucas lifted from the OT.
Um, I'll be in my bunk.
But seriously, I am all about watching how disinterested everyone is behind the scenes. Especially that guy in front checking his phone at the four minute mark.

KEEP GOING
Averting my eyes as soon as Pony Island comes on, I still know nothing of the game.

What? No. When Ben Kenobi(Obi-Wan for you) trained Luke, he didn't hesitate or cite Jedi code. When Anakin was trained by Master Qui-Gon Jinn, Ben Kenobi was the one originally protesting about it since the Jedi code had a strict rule against training older boys. This is because the children needed to learn how to control their emotions from young age, since emotion is a gateway to the dark side. After the events of the PT, Ben Kenobi was not only disillusioned with the Jedi ways, having followed in Qui-Gonns footsteps, but when he trained Luke he did it with the knowledge that to fully harness the force you need to have an equal understanding of both sides.

The force calls to Danny, just let it in....
I'd like to see it again myself. Star Wars was a much better fit for Abrams.The force calls to Danny, just let it in....

He should watch the prequels.

I want to see it again.... again. If I do see it a third time, I want to make sure it's in IMAX. I gotta see it big!

If you wanna see Jeff "MGSV is better than Mario Maker" Gerstmann and the hilarious Vinny spider story, definitely.
I could have sworn Yoda gave Kenobi some push back on Luke being too old in Empire.
same. In fact, I'm more willing to watch Hateful 8.

That's because Yoda is an asshole. That is why he lost his jedi temple. Like Qui-Gonn, Ben Kenobi understood that the way to master the force was to dabble in both sides, that age didn't matter as long as you understood that to delve deeply into your emotions was to delve into the Dark Side, but to use both your emotions while control which ones you exert gave you the most strength.
Yoda was just an old fashioned ass.

I don't have the attention span for movies to watch it in a theater. Might watch it if it hits Netflix or Hulu or something.
Damn, thought he was gonna start tomorrow. I'm still catching up on his first stream.
You know I actually don't see why Obi Wan couldn't have just trained Luke himself then. It's not like they did anything physical that ghost Obi Wan couldn't have showed him.
Vinny talks about his house being infested by spiders.
That's something I realized when I saw Spectre. It was the first movie I had seen in a theater for a while and it was weird not doing something else while watching it.

Ben Kenobi understood that his time was limited. When he disappeared against Vader, he did it with the knowledge that he would be able to watch over Luke. Ben Kenobi had already failed one apprentice, so Yoda was the best runner up of sorts, after all he is older and wiser(But an asshole.)
I prefer to believe he's just lazy. Hell, he doesn't even finish his fights with Vader, preferring to let the kid burn, then GTFO to ghost town before the fight was over.
Lazy Obi Wan.

HA! If only present-Jeff had a time machine to talk to several-months-ago-Jeff. That would be an interesting argument.
It was pretty good. Great Jeff and Vinny interaction.
I went from detesting the series after the prequels to being okay with it again with the new movie.

No there's a whole plot point in Phantom Menace where Quigon petitions to train Anakin and the council declines because he's too old.

I wonder how far down the Food Network had to go on the "star wars guest appearance" list to get to Johhny V.
I want to see that list.
At the top you got Harrison Ford and at the bottom you probably got grown up Jake Loyd. How close to Jake Loyd in Johnny V?

They deserved to have been destroyed by Anakin. I mean, the Jedi are Lawful Evil, while the Sith are Chaotic Evil. Sure Jedi preach this whole 'Follow the Light side, enforce justice, be arbiters' but really they're no different than a man with his finger on the nuclear button. Atleast the Dark Side know they're evil, and they embrace their emotions so they're not cold, emotionless machines like the Jedi.
Them denying Anakin was them denying change, it was them being ignorant to change and trying to uphold the old ways. They're bigots.
That's right.
But Yoda too initially refuses to train Luke because he was too old but was basically too old himself to give a fuck at that point.
Uh it's a tragedy that the Prequels didn't have better scripts to flesh all this out. As it stands Kotor 2 does a much better job of demonstrating how sanctimonious and hypocritical the Jedi Order's selective pacifism actually is.

He only does it after realizing that Luke is possibly the last 'Proper' Jedi.
Yeah. For all the political talk they did, they could've delved deeper into the Jedi. Like, in hindsight and parsing out the important bits, and piecing together things between the OT and PT you can kinda realize the important parts of each faction and person, and how they all weave together. They don't go into it in the movies, but it's obvious that the Jedi hold on to much to their ancient ways and are kind of backwards when you dissect and dive into it.
So he's a sexist too!
That Designer Notes interview with Chris Avellone where they talked a little bit about his view on Star Wars when he was writing KOTOR 2 was pretty interesting.
where's the first life is strange playdate? also, how do i find the chat archive on qlcrew?

Oh wow, the Playdate is almost three hours. And Steve Gaynor was on UPF? This is going to be a good day.
Oh okay cool! Handy that the link was in the tweet, didn't notice that the only t-shirt size they'll send is XL so I could uncheck that box.

Omg! Steve was on UPF!? I've been broke so I had to unsubscribe for a bit but...I love Steve.
Time to resub.

Squint your eyes and this looks like a Giant Bomb x Always Sunny crossover.
On UPF?
Yes for some fucking reason someone sent it in I guess.
Yeah I thought Steve Gaynor looked a tad like Rob Mcelhenney.
wait, that's not what they're talking about?
That's what they said they got when they were looking at the beers, we're the ones shortening it.
Ah okay. I've been watching AGDQ most of the time so I'm behind on podcasts/videos. I just didn't expect Americans to be familiar with VB enough for it to know its abbreviation, hence my confusion.
But most of the people posting here at this time are Australian I suppose.
You know you can use your finger to turn the camera right?
Also these 360 degree Kpop videos creep me out in some level.
