Star Wars chronological



I read Shakespeare chronology, based on the Wikipedia best guesses.

Not by producing but in the time line of Star Wars, this is the list they give on Disney+ with the insertion of Tales of the Jedi before Clone Wars because Asoka is a baby:

Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones
(Tales of the Jedi)
Clone Wars
Revenge of Sith
Bad Batch
Solo
Obi-wan Kenobi
Star Wars Rebels
Andor
Rogue One
A New Hope
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Mandalorian
Boba Fett
Star Wars Resistance
The Force Awakens
The Last Jedi
The Rise of Skywalker


Shorts: Visions.
Miscellaneous Vintage videos including Holiday Special 1978.



My sons like 1, 2 and 3. I was 10 in 1977 for the first one (IV). I’ve watched many of these many times. Haven’t watched all the animated ones all the way through, in order.

So watching 1 & 2 are not that great after many watchings. I do love Natalie Portman as an actress. I hear Abed trying to get people to not watch these movies, he's a character in Community. My son is a bit like that, except he liked those movies. My younger son was Obi-wan and my eldest was Anakin. He even had a rat tail for a little while. and he was I asked him what he would do if he won the lottery and he said he would make the movies the right way, so someone else didn't ruin them. He likes Spiderman and the Marvel Universe. I think it's cool to feel mythology and aesthetics so strongly. To have strong opinions about art. I'm not sure if Rick, from Rick and Morty, is a mouthpiece for Dan Harmon, who also puts the ideas into Community, but they note that some youths have very strong opinions about franchise choices. I think it's cool.

Animation series feels like they're made for kids, but then there are bits that aren't. The issue of struggling to be heard, and whatnot for kids is present. It seems a lot about war. It is called Clone Wars. A nice friendly children’s war cartoon. The stories always have a didactic element.

Season 1, Episode 13 "Jedi Crash" is one I remember because I thought a lot about fighting for peace, and refusing to fight for peace. Shortly after this episode I just can't go on. Not for me. I skip ahead, I think I've not seen the second Mandalorian season and when I realize I've already seen it, I just watch it anyway. Now back to Revenge of the Sith. It's on in the background when I'm playing chess, I'm not watching it intensely. I'm trying to read Gravity's Rainbow, so I'm moving away from it as a background filler.

Democracy or democrazy?

Admittedly the choice between corrupt democrats and corrupt republicans isn't the political choice I want. I'd rather vote my way towards fairness, elimination of poverty, anti-trust laws that fight the consolidation of corporations (you read about grocery stores lately?), education, infrastructure. What you do get is a vote for democrats that vote to end rail strikes ( source ) because they can't carve out of the profits a sick leave, versus reality denying, Russian bought, obstructionists who might lower taxes, and want smaller government. The Ron Swanson's of the world who hate government and work in government. I've been running into people who believe the corrupt choices aren't worth even making. Reasons not to pay attention.I've thought that a few times in my life, but I don't think that now.  There are real choices about health care for women, and even just an attitude towards democracy. It's hard to fight past the rhetoric, and understand eve...

Consent

You couldn't have a better title to a memoir in these times. You can read about Humbert Humbert, and other male narratives, but the female narrative of the statutory rape is fulfilled by this book. I feel slightly ill while reading this book. What she goes through is off, and it's hard to put a finger on it besides  Hebephilia . All the collaborating details from her mother, to her doctors, to her father. Vanessa Springora will be remembered for other things, she is a director and a publisher. I'm not sure if  Gabriel Matzneff will be remembered for other things. At least not on this side of the pond. I do have a kind of jealousy for the appreciation of the intellectual life in France.  Matzneff cites Lewis Carroll , and others as having the appreciation for youth. I read his Wikipedia page. That led to other questions about photographers who take pictures of their children. That led me down a creepy path. As much as Springora tries to not make it sexy, I wonder ho...
