b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@BeijingPalmer @EricMGarcia @DrewSav yes, and i also like the idea of a subtle callback to star wars ‘77, in that an older, wiser obi-wan is telling his best friend’s son to *trust his instincts*, now knowing that some things you simply have to work with, and not against. — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@BeijingPalmer @EricMGarcia @DrewSav the third movie can be a straightforward vader flick. with obi wan and padme trying and failing to save their friend in act one, their friend becoming a monster in act two, who destroys all that they hold dear in act three — PolitiTweet.org

@BeijingPalmer @EricMGarcia @DrewSav and as such it is important to see how similar to the two are, and how they make similar choices that lead them to different places — PolitiTweet.org

@BeijingPalmer @EricMGarcia @DrewSav …becomes the story of how anakin’s arrogance begins to corrode his relationships and eventually consumes him. again mirroring luke in empire. my whole concept is to answer the question “why does obi wan give a shit about luke?” — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@BeijingPalmer @EricMGarcia @DrewSav …anakin, who saves the day and becomes the hero by *rejecting* obi-wan’s lesson. like luke in a new hope, he trusts his instincts and jumps in head first to great success and celebration. the problem is that this makes him essentially untrainable, and the next movie… — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@BeijingPalmer @EricMGarcia @DrewSav …obi-wan, who is overly cerebral, needs to learn to be more decisive from anakin. and padme, who is compassionate and intelligent but lacks confidence, needs to learn that from anakin. the climax of the story will rest on everyone learning what they need to, except… — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@BeijingPalmer @EricMGarcia @DrewSav yes. i am concerned about story and character above all else, and so in my episode i, the story would be driven by this dynamic: anakin, who is gifted but head strong and arrogant, needs to learn patience from obi-wan and compassion from padme… — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@EricMGarcia @DrewSav but again, all of this backstory is established through dialogue and action. we’ll need a third character in the mix (padme, a young diplomat in training?) who learns this along with us, the audience — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@EricMGarcia @DrewSav pre-jedi, anakin was a pilot for the republic. he had been an orphan on tattooine but got off world and joined the republic academy or whatever. him and obi-wan meet in combat, develop a camaraderie, & it is there that obi-wan realizes that anakin is tremendously force sensitive — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@EricMGarcia @DrewSav thought more about this and here is my take: when we meet anakin he should be older than luke, roughly four years into his training. we will establish through dialogue that obi-wan met anakin at roughly the same age as he would me luke. — PolitiTweet.org

i have said this before but a city department devoted to actually keeping public order and solving crimes would likely look very different than existing police departments — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@tweaver7777 this is an argument for more police? — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@JoeWyman2 it is entirely plausible that the presence of security lowers the odds that a crime happens. but that finding does not actually imply that police forces as currently constituted are a good use of public funds — PolitiTweet.org

@squarelyrooted the bible as mcu is a sentence that makes me want to kill myself — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
it is simply an observable fact that the police don’t solve crimes, and that cities are devoting huge sums of cash to what are essentially make-work jobs and overtime scams https://t.co/jl1Xi2hvq0 — PolitiTweet.org

@EricMGarcia prequel trilogy should have began roughly where Attack of the Clones started, with Anakin as a nearly adult padawan struggling with his anger. Necessary backstory could be provided in flashback. — PolitiTweet.org
b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie
@jtlevy part of the problem is that there just aren’t very many directions you can take these things given the audience in question. like, *i* would watch a BODY HEAT style thriller about samson and delilah but i don’t think the intended audience for a bible picture would — PolitiTweet.org
