This is the point that always gets made, but I think it's worth reckoning with the mistreatment that occurs for the 92% of incarcerated people whose prisons are public.That's why I immediately followed it by saying we need massive reforms of all prisons. But across the board, private prisons are worse by almost every metric, and they're harder to reform. So getting rid of them as a first step should be a no brainer. --- And who are you, my little friend? Not a spoon... not a fork... but something in between. A fpoon.

| action52 12/28/22 9:38:15 AM #102 | You know what, while we don't see her doing any amazing piloting in the movie, Episode 9 does establish that she's become a great pilot, which is typical of strong force users who are into piloting. She probably is in the same tier as Luke, Han, Poe, and Anakin at that point. I would guess that by Episode 9, she is better than Poe at piloting the falcon, but Poe is better at piloting an X-Wing. --- And who are you, my little friend?

Something he wouldnt say unless she was at least on par with or above his abilitys.I don't remember that part well but I can think of a few possible reasons that have nothing to do with piloting ability. Poe is used to flying smaller ships that move differently. He also has a reckless streak and is willing to take risky maneuvers that damage his ship. Plus, at this point he and Rey have been piloting the falcon together for a year so he was probably more comfortable having her pilot the ship. --- And who are you, my little friend?

| action52 12/28/22 7:24:58 AM #20 | Being a foreigner gives you an advantage in any country. You're exotic, you stand out. And if you are fluent in their language, that's probably going to be impressive unless they're even more fluent in their language. Also there are clubs and bars that foreigners hang out in, and Japanese people looking to hook up with foreigners like to go. If you go to those places and aren't very picky, it's easy to find someone who will go out with you or at least sleep with you (assuming these places are still open post COVID, I haven't been to them in many years). That doesn't mean you will have Japanese women falling all over you or that you will be able to get any Japanese woman you want.

And at this point in the timeline likely wasnt as superior spec wise as in was during the prequel trilogy.Make all the excuses you want about why Rey could have done better, that doesn't change the fact that she never showed piloting abilities as good as the really great Star Wars pilots, let alone surpassing them. Prismsblade posted... This all was before her force abilitys awoke.That's not really how it works... When someone is strongly force sensitive, it comes out in things like premonitions and impossibly good reflexes. That's how Luke blew up the Death Star, that's how Anakin was so good at pod racing. Rey subconsciously using the force to enhance her piloting ability is totally in line with previous canon (in fact I think it's too similar, I think it would have been more interesting to show it in different ways). Prismsblade posted... My mistake, but By now Rey could probably replicate every maneuver Po, Han and chewie ever did with just her natural talent. And on top of her force abilitys I can see her outperforming them from time to time.In your head canon, sure, but I'd rather talk about things that are actually in the movies if you don't mind. --- And who are you, my little friend?

He got beat so bad he get locked of the edge of something only to land on a magical left to hit her from behind... That is not a heroic fightNone of these things are making Rose the main character or Finn the sidekick from a structural or narrative standpoint. They're just you saying you think the way they did it doesn't make Finn look cool or heroic enough. Which is fine, I also think Finn's story could have been done better, but it's still Finn's story. It's still Finn's arc. Rose's role is always a supporting one, even if she dominates him sometimes and is right more than he is. In Iron Man's relationship, he is dependent on Pepper Potts, she is stronger than him in most ways, she is smarter than him when it comes to common sense, and every time she criticizes him she is right and he is wrong.

| action52 12/27/22 9:35:34 PM #70 | Prismsblade posted... She piloted the Falcon her first time flying ever in ep7 better then anyone else before, and arguably better then Po did in ep9.You mean when she was bumping into stuff all the time when she first started flying? Or when she led the TIE fighter to chase her inside of the crashed star destroyer and he had no trouble keeping up even though she probably knew the layout better than him? She did manage to execute that one move at the end and set up Finn to destroy the ship, but that was more her using the force to intuitively put herself in the right place and execute perfect timing, like Luke with the Death Star at the end of Episode 4. Not so much her showing raw piloting skill. Notice that when someone like Han is piloting in tight spaces, they don't even need a gunner, they can execute such amazing flying that the TIE fighters crash and burn just trying to keep up. She also single handling held off the first order at the end of ep8. Hell she even got a single shot triple kill, which Po nor anyone has never come anywhere close to replicating.She did indeed get that one shot, which was a combination of luck, taking them by surprise so that they weren't in evasive positions, and of course that force sensitivity probably helped her get the timing just right. But anyway she wasn't piloting, Chewbacca was. Remember how he led the TIE fighters into that little cave, with tighter spaces than Rey's flight inside the Star Destroyer, at much faster speeds, and all of the enemy pilots crashed just trying to keep up with him? Rey definitely had a lot of natural ability as a pilot (like all force users), and she was fantastic for a beginner, but never on the level of Han, Poe, or Chewie. --- And who are you, my little friend?

She was the one who talked to the slaves, when they were on the space horses she was driving and he was yelling like Jar Jar. She literally showed him how he was wrong over and over. Even when Finn was doing the literal stuff she asked him to do. She was the one who beat him up. She was the one that taught him the life lesson.Yes, side kicks often have their moments to shine and do things the main character doesn't or even can't, because their personality and skills complement the main character. And sidekicks being the ones to give the hero that kick in the pants they need to get back on the right path and be the hero is a trope as old as sidekicks themselves. Samwise lecturing Frodo that "It's just like the old stories," when he wants to give up at the end of The Two Towers. Donkey angrily telling Shrek what a dumb, selfish jerk, then Shrek realizing Donkey was right and going back. Hell, even though we didn't see open conflict, Chewbacca's open and obvious disapproval of Han leaving the rebellion was clearly one of the things that led to his change of heart and eventual rescue of Luke. Finn has an arc, Rose does not. Finn has the biggest heroic moments with Phasma. Rose mainly acts to help him on his journey. Rose's biggest heroic moment is an act of self sacrifice to save Finn.

Having him be just another Jedi would have been boring, but maybe a different kind of force user who doesn't fight with a light saber like Chirrut from Rogue One. Also the movies seemed to have the remnants of a plot line involving Storm Troopers revolting against the First Order. A shame they dropped it, because that could have given him a cool way to play a big role.
