   Of course it's a valid concern in general, but it has nothing to do with the topic I'm talking about.

   As in, we know that if given a choice between better onboarding and worse onboarding, users choose the social platform with better onboarding. That also leads to better retention.

   Instead of lamenting why users choose other options, why don't we build better onboarding here?

   @BowsacNoodle @Dave55811 @dictatordave yes, I mentioned how when I was young I liked to turn off the fog of war, but realized that the artificial restriction is part of what the game was about.

   As far as people that use power incorrectly, it could be them being immature - but it is still revealing.

   The ones I specifically call out are the ones who push that line.

   @branman65 @flux_the_cat @Zettour watch most of the scenes in the original & prequel trilogy for stuff in the background. there are so many scenes that video games/literature/comics were built out of, or from one-off comments by characters.

   "Many Bothans died to bring us these plans" was just filler originally. There wasn't much of an idea of what a "Bothan" was.

   Expanded Universe made them into dog people and they even waged jihad against an extra-galactic threat. The latter is impressive, because they're all manlets.

   There isn't as much of that in the sequels, and the constant quippy "funny" dialogue is grating. The only thing that comes close to it in annoyance are the combat droids showing emotion and feeling "pain" in episode 2 and 3, but that is definitely just something for kids to laugh at and not something I can be butthurt about.

   As a child I loved the prequels, even with the horrible dialogue. I can't enjoy the dialogue anymore because I grew up, though the fighting scenes are still fun. The only annoying aspect is the perpetual fencing that lightsaber users do, and pretty much never pushing their advantage to just slice a nigga in half.. but again, that's PG/PG-13 rating and it's meant for kids.

   I think the goriest they ever get is Han Solo frozen in carbonite and Jango Fett's head falling out of his helmet. You only see the shadow of the head falling out, though.
