The Rise of Skywalker is getting hammered, especially for a Star Wars movie.
Doesn't being part of such an epic.. um... epic make it more likely to get hammered if it isn't exactly what fans wanted?
There is a narrative out there that criticizes those who dislike TLJ as those who wanted to get something specific. Most of the people that I talk to just wanted a good Star Wars story. It wasn't about not having fan service, or nods, or callbacks. It was because we wanted a coherent story set in our favorite universe. No one is upset because of the subversion that Rian Johnson did. Except for the fact that it appears that that was primary motivation for making the movie instead of telling a good space magic movie.
that's why I didn't like the others... the story was just... well it wasn't.
The last two were 1 part lip service to fans and three parts “gimme yo money”.

I'm not reading that review - that said - this was was some lip service (which i thought was awesome!) and several parts of making up for shit show Rian Johnson left us with in TLJ, back pedaling as it were

I just noticed that WD make a Red NAS SSD.
Maybe it’s my fading attention span but I don’t actually notice much difference to their other SSDs -
Great way to start out a Friday: OMSA says one disk is predicted to fail. Backups are good, so marked it offline, swapped it with the spare, now waiting for rebuild to complete.
