  • “Would your treatise allow this to work if he’s not a sith, but instead an incredibly powerful by oblivious force user?”

    yeah, it’s as good as any other theory, maybe better than the sith one because there are less obvious things to point out that don’t work.

    it kind of sounds like a xanth premise, if you ever read those books.

    I don’t think there are strong enough foundations to hold the assumptions together myself, most binks theories I’ve read rely on a passive series of events and assumptions occurring in the background.

    and I like them all.

    i like the Darth Darth Binks theory and other theories, but taken in context with what is depicted on screen, how straightforward Star wars is, and what the actors and production team and scripts say about the character, there’s no cohesive or convincing supporting evidence that Jar Jar was anything other than comic relief and then a hastily minimized plot device after audiences rebelled against him.
















  • actually, I’m in India right now and am shocked that so far it’s the least smelly country in terms of sewage and BO I’ve been to, tied with Japan so far.

    I say so far because I’ve only been here for 2 weeks.

    I’ve been all over Asia and there’s always a sewage smell somewhere, or a smelly river, or you can smell BO on people when you’re crowded together on a bus, but now I’m in India and there’s no sewage smell, and I’m here during a huge festival, literally one of tens of thousands of people crowded in these temples without smelling any BO, and I’m wondering if it’s a cultural habit that is dovetailing into their infrastructure and hygiene(kind of like how Chinese chefs traditionally cook everything at super high heats, even though the origin is tied into making sure the food is clean) and their sewage pipes are all very far removed or thickly covered and treated, or if the largely vegetarian diet plays into a much less offensive smell overall in terms of bodily function and by-products.
