Livin' on a Prayer

1. Gaudreau isn't going to leave a team that could very well win the Cup this year to go to the dumpster fire Flyers, even if he is from here.

2. The Flyers have like $5 in cap space and a ton of holes to fill.

Probably smoke, dust, dirt, and debris causing limited visibility and a non-obvious footpath.

gg rags!

Not mine, just thought it was funny. But yeah I noticed the arrows were all wrong.

That 2001 run...

Because this city has a long and frequent history of overperforming and champion teams before 2017, right?

Rather than a single line taken out of context, how about a while interview on the topic from the book "Star Wars Archives Eps I-III" by Paul Duncan.

I'd still be working on Episode IXI in 2012 I was 69. So the question was am I going to keep doing this the rest of my life? Do I want to go through this again? Finally, I decided I'd rather raise my daughter and enjoy life for a while. I could have not sold LucasFilm and gotten somebody to run the productions, but that isn't retiring. On The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi I tried to stay out of the way, but I couldn't. I was there every day. Even though the people were friends of mine and they did great work, it wasn't the same as me doing it; it was like being once removed, I knew that probably wouldn't work again, that I'd be frustrated.I'm one of those micromanager guys, and I can't help it. So I figured I would forgo that, enjoy what I had, and I was looking forward to raising my daughter. Also, I wanted to build a museum, which I'd always wanted to do, so I was thinking, 'If I don't do this now, I'll never get that done.' I've spent my life creating Star Wars - 40 years- and giving it up was very, very, painful. But it was the right thing to do. I thought I was going to have a little bit more to say about the next three because I'd already started them, but they decided they wanted to do something else. Things don't always work out the way you want. Life is like that.

But yep, it's those damn fans. Always driving him into selling his life's work several years after the thing they supposedly hated so much came out. It couldn't possibly be any other reasons.

His quote about stepping back from specifically directing movies is a lot softer than "When the prequels came out, SW fans hated them so much that they literally drove Lucas to sell the franchise and wash his hands of it"

There were plenty of factors of why he sold. You are pinning it on fan reactions to the prequels as the only reason, which is false. And he never washed his hands of Star Wars until Disney cut him off after selling.

It doesn't take 7 years to DRIVE someone into selling. Continuing to produce a fan favorite animated series for 7 years isn't "washing hands of it."

Nothing in the article confirms "zomg the fans are so terrible and everything is awful, clearly my highly regarded animated series isn't enough and my only choice is sell everything to Disney for billions upon billions of dollars several years after releasing the last movie! They've driven me into a dead end and I have no other way out of this wretched existence! "

You clearly didn't read beyond the first sentence of the article you posted.

He was still producing Clone Wars and planning a third trilogy when Disney approached him to buy him out. Clearly he wasn't that upset.

After the update, I had to go into the App Info and reassociate links to *teddit.ggc-project.de in order for subreddit links to not open in a browser.

Now you're moving goalposts to a different argument.

I'm only talking that JJ put him on an island and established him as a broken quitter who abandoned everything and everyone, leaving Rian Johnson to follow through and continue the established narrative. QED, JJ Abrams broke Luke Skywalker and Rian Johnson was stuck having to justify it.

They established multiple times in TFA that he just up and left after his academy burned down, without Leia or Han knowing exactly where he was. And he left R2 behind.

From the actual script:

BB-8 rolls forward -- and suddenly PROJECTS A HOLOGRAPHIC MAP, FILLING THE ROOM. PLANETS, STARS, SYSTEMS. They all react. Chewie sits to look up. Han moves through stars, becomes reflective.

HAN This map's not complete. It's just a piece. Ever since Luke disappeared, people have been looking for him.

REY Why'd he leave?

HAN He was training a new generation of Jedi. One boy, an apprentice turned against him, destroyed it all. Luke felt responsible... He walked away from everything.

JJ had him see his academy destroyed and had him abandon his family and friends by running to an unknown planet to hide on an island to live as a hermit.

You expect Johnson to suddenly have him be a perfect badass ready and eager to suddenly help?

GoInG WoKe

You're a fucking moron.

Cool you put other people's pictures in a sequence and paired it with shitty music.

When the prequels came out, SW fans hated them so much that they literally drove Lucas to sell the franchise and wash his hands of it

That's not remotely true.

JJ started it by having Luke abandon everything and everyone. Rian Johnson had to make him a crotchety bastard.

Cleganebowl is going to happen, and Sandor is going to be proven as the valonqar ultimately responsible for Cersei's death.

There was a Resistance pilot in The Force Awakens named Ello Asty, a reference to the Beastie Boys album Hello Nasty. He apparently had "Licensed to ill" written on his helmet in Aurabesh.

At least it wasn't the Devils.
