Single-Use Planet

Single-use plastics make our lives easier and more convenient, and that’s why we love them, but it’s important not to lose sight of why corporations love them. It’s not for the same reason we do.

A Deep Dive into Rey Skywalker's Character Arc

The Star Wars sequel trilogy is a major point of contention for many people myself included. I can go on and on about the many problems littered throughout: abysmal world building, clumsy storylines, the imaginary tug-of-war between J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson, etc. Thankfully, this article will not dwell on those things. Instead I am going to center my attention on the focal point of this trilogy—Rey Skywalker. While I have great issues with how Rey’s family was handled, I find her overall arc to be fascinating, especially when I consider the elements of it that actually work.

GRUBB: What team can you be a fan of?

I don’t think that your location should dictate the team you root for. Just because you were born in, let’s say, Georgia, doesn’t mean you should be forced to root for the Braves, Hawks and Falcons. I think if you develop an emotional connection with a team and decide to stay loyal to that team, then it should be fine to root for them.
