…. and We Love It.

"In Star Wars, the First Order is as powerful as it is because the leadership is exceedingly smart. Ideas like Snoke Force-linking Kylo and Rey, or Phasma buying off DJ, are two examples from the movies of them doing intelligently evil things.

They may indeed be intelligent in the cartoon, but in the movies they are all dopes.

So… do you see the cartoons?… (smile)
