I feel like this quote is one of the most underrated thematic moments in the sequel trilogy.

When Maz says, "You see the same eyes in different people" the line makes sense on the surface in the context of her conversation with Finn. However I think there's a broader thematic significance to it that goes beyond that immediate context.

One interpretation is that people can have similar motives and intentions, even when they try to disguise them behind different identities or justifications. That already applies to this scene but I think it's also very true in reality.

Another is that different factions and political movements can present themselves with entirely different imagery, messaging, and rhetoric while ultimately embodying the same underlying ideology. I think the First Order is a great example of this. They have refreshed aesthetics, more extreme superweapons, and increasingly radical rhetoric, but at their core, they're still neo nazis who idolize the Empire and its power. Despite the new appearance, the underlying authoritarianism and desire for domination remain the same. And to a different extent, factions can market themselves as something else while still being nefarious at thier core.

Anyways just wanted to share my thoughts!

If you could add one non plot changing scene to any of the Sequels, what would it be?

As the post title says, what scene would you add that doesn't change the plot or narrative to enhance the story?

Just started reading through Poe Dameron for the very first time, think this is my favorite moment in the first arc. This pilot's got better stuff to do apparently, lol.

Rumor: The "New Jedi Order" film is reportedly targeting a Q4 2026 production in London, according to Production Weekly

Production weekly seems to be hit or miss, but they are a more reliable source than usually so this is potentially an exciting development!

Message from the Cabo Verde National Team about Messi's retirement from international football (via IG)

Super respectful team!

The continued slander campaign against messi and its residual effects are so difficult to witness.

Seeing people react to his retirement from the Argentinian national team with happiness and mocking him for being a "cheater" and "scumbag" really hurts to witness.

Not only because it hurts to see the goat so baselessly slandered, but also just seeing how easily manipulated people can be to believe certain narratives has made me lose more faith in humanity. It's like they are blind to reality.
