The Last Jedi

It has been suggested that it is Luke Skywalker's intention to end the Jedi Order before it can be restarted. Perhaps this is true, but I believe this refers to fan criticism of the preludes and the Jedi participating in the Clone Wars. 

 I think it is far more likely that the title/phrase "The Last Jedi" refers equally to both Luke and Rey, but more specifically to Luke's relationship with Leia and the political situation in the galaxy. Luke disappeared because the Republic used Jedi as military officers. Considering Leia's position in the Resistance and the tensions between the Republic and the First Order it is likely that the Republic would either come to some kind of arrangement with the First Order or would assume the Resistance's role in defeating the First Order.

 Both scenarios would be tragic as far as Luke and his role in re-establishing the Jedi Order are concerned. In the first, it is likely that, in return for peace, the First Order will demand the Republic actively work in defeating the Resistance. In the second, the Republic would initiate hostilities against the First Order. Both would require the Republic to reactivate Luke's commission as a former Rebellion officer and turn him from a peacekeeper to a war leader. It is likely that he would force Leia to turn to the dark side, either as his opponent or, ultimately, as apprentice and co-ruler of the galaxy or be forced to kill his sister. The only option for Luke and the future Jedi would be for him to disappear and wait for someone worthy to find him and learn from him. Eventually the galaxy would be united and only then can the Jedi have a safe space to operate without the temptations of the Dark Side. 

 I've not mentioned "Star Wars" once! OK now.

What would you do?

What would you do if you knew you had a hundred years to live? Perhaps you wouldn't care. What if you knew you had a hundred years to act before you knew society would collapse? Perhaps you are obsessed with the threat from Russia, overpopulation or migration? Perhaps you know about climate change but don't care. But imagine how our government would act if humanity's biggest threat wasn't itself but another species? All governments, yours and mine, would be on a perpetual war footing. So why don't we all REBEL? Because twenty years ago we collectively had a hundred years to live. Twenty years ago it would have been reasonable for: 1. The Pope and the Catholic Church to embrace contraception 2. Ditto the American Right 3. The UK government to ban people from driving a petrol-driven car on a Sunday 4. The UK government to give free bus travel to everyone under 25 and the unemployed 5. Governments around the world to replace coal powered methods of ge

UFO

Time to debunk the extra-terrestrial hypothesis? Yes. Let's use our imaginations and consider non-ET explanations for this phenomenon. 1. UFOs are an aerial plasma phenomenon similar to ball lightning. This explains why they appear to follow aircraft and apparently interfere with electronic devices. 2. UFO phenomena are a result of individuals witnessing top-secret military technology. By deliberately associating the phenomenon with aliens, the government can discredit any witnesses and keep any technology it wishes out of the public domain. They could even have access to free energy but believe this would disrupt the economy if it were ever revealed. By promoting the Extra-Terrestrial Hypothesis, the government and the corporations that support it stay in power at everyone else's expense. Presumably this is a CIA-style psychological operations programme. 3. UFOs are intelligent entities in of themselves. The abduction phenomena could be a kind of vision by the abducte
