and it wouldn't be bad to go back and eliminate the idea of a jedi academy that you're in for like 15 years. I have no problem with that per se, but it does call into question how Luke became a jedi after like 3 days of training with Yoda

1. That was weeks

2. He didn't remotely become a Jedi. Not until the end.

Weeks is better than days, but it's still not a decade plus

I like the idea that you become a jedi as a result of passing some sort of test external to the academy. Did they keep that in the prequels?

Sort of? Yoda "conferred" the title of Jedi Knight on Obi Wan after the events of Episode I, which seems to suggest you've got to go through something in order to prove your mettle. But even the action of "conferring" it bothered me.

I have not allowed my 8 year old nephew to watch them. I am taking him to TFA tomorrow.

How does it make you feel to know I have a circle of friends outside of RM that shares a lot of my feelings about movies?

They'll see the light one of these days. I can't imagine anyone 12 or older liking that character. How old are your kids?

We often explore in similar herds, my friend.

You appear to have parental-level powers over your nephew. Explain.

I am better to him than his father.

I didn't mean that. However, I am the expert in hockey and star wars when compared to his father. His father likes guns and being a sexist and military and guns
