speaking of duct tape, here's pretty much the only joke I can ever remember (with or without duct tape)
"How is duct tape like The Force?"
"It's dark on one side, light on the other, and it holds the universe together."

Some Sci-Fi shower thoughts: I think the ideological division between #StarWars and #StarTrek can be summed up by the fact that there is no analogue for The #Jedi in Star Trek. In the original Star Wars films, the Jedi and #TheForce is left as some unexplained magical property which some of the characters just have, and it is strongly implied that this property is inherited. Star Trek, on the other hand consistently shows time and again the old atheist adage that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.“
In Star Trek they never ascribe some unexplained telekinetic power or mind-reading ability to some magical “force,” there is always some Sci-Fi mumbo-jumbo explanation given, usually involving some make-believe wave/particle energy field. And if the “magic” power ever takes the characters by surprise, they study it to figure out how it works, especially if the “magic” is being used by an alien adversary against them. The lesson Star Trek teach us is that there is no real magic anywhere in the universe, only the yet-to-be explained, and that doesn’t make the universe any less awe-inspiring.
I lost all enthusiasm for Star Wars the day I saw George Lucas posing in a publicity photo with the Disney mascots, when the Disney Corporation bought the entire Star Wars franchise, so I really haven’t been paying attention. (I’ve been told I would very likely enjoy the “Andor” series, though I haven’t watched it.) Maybe the franchise writers have tried to canonicalize some scientific explanation for The Force beyond the “midichlorians” mentioned in the prequel series? I don’t know, or even really care at this point.

Neither Light Nor Dark
I have been a lifelong fan of Star Wars. What has always drawn me most is not just the scale of its worlds or the depth of its mythology, but the tension at its core—the conflict between light and dark, and more importantly, the space that exists between them. Recently, I visited Disneyland and spent time at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, immersing myself in its atmosphere. It was less about the attractions and more about reflection—on the stories that shaped me, and on the idea of a […] -

Did the force become unbalanced when the Sith were completely destroyed? The absence of the dark side and the dominance of the light side would surely cause an imbalance in the force.

Episode 7 is exactly what I was hoping for in this season. Smart, grounded, mostly trope-free, and logical throughout.
Even the introduction of The Force into the series was done in a way that's true to life, and not overdone.
I'm really hoping the rest of the second half of this season stays on this track.

Yesterday, I attended an amateur music/theatre show for #maythe4th, and having "#theForce" portrayed on stage by a man in a green(screen) morphsuit was so genius I wish it was applied to the actual movies #Wellington #starwars #NZTwits

Thanks for the repeated reminders of how completely derelict this whole #StarWars shit has become. #Disney has done a great job hammering in the final nails in the coffin. Don't need any more reminders of this degenerate #CorporateFantasy. Screw #TheForce! #Mute!!!
