It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

george cut a bunch of politicking scenes from the prequels and attack of the clones would've been way better if it was full of senate speeches instead of what we actually got.
Empire Strikes Back was a stellar movie thanks to the whole Cloud City arc. Rebels on the back foot, desperately looking for allies, and walking right into a trap. The liberal businessman Lando Calrisian attempting to triangulate between good and evil, only to become radicalized into sacrificing his little fiefdom for a Revolution. Luke showing up just in time to lose to his father.
I feel like they tried to recapture that moment in AotC. But between bad acting, sappy romance, and the need for these extended fight scenes, they never had time to key in on the drama of an empire in collapse.
