    I just felt the thing with Luke trying to kill Ben when he sensed darkness in him just didn't match his character in the original trilogy, given he spent the whole of Return of the Jedi trying to redeem Vader as he sensed the light in him.

    He could have been a bitter recluse for other reasons that would have been more consistent with the character.


     

    Apart from when he channelled his fear and anger and almost killed his father when he threatened turning Leia instead?  A fleeting moment of dark side that then dissipates exactly matches his character in the original trilogy.  

  2. I didn't mind how it ended, just felt they didn't quite pull it off.  Certainly hinted that Buckles wasn't the top man,  but everyone will be satisfied by him being the 4th Man.  OCG likely to leave him alone as he is taking the hit for it all, and the police can sweep it all away.  Just like everything else the police have ever been accused of, and considering the clear endemic racism in the police, I found it an apt ending.  Everything goes back to the start and carries on like nothing happened.

    They didn't quite pull it off storywise though.

  3. Nadal and Tsitsipas in the longest best of three final since ATP starting recording the times.  3 hrs and 38 minutes to complete the three sets. Tsitsipas was 2cm away from the championship. 
     

    Nadal still having issues with his serve and back, but seemed to improve as the tournament progressed.   Ominously for everyone else that he still triumphed against the most in form player on clay. 
     

    No sign of a Murray appearance in any of the entry lists for the clay season.   With the French pushed back a week, it would be an even shorter grass season if he was waiting for that.

    Anyone know if the bookies place a cap on wagering?   For example I'd quite like to put down 3k on the SNP winning the election at 1/100 or whatever.   It would pay for a meal out and would come with absolutely no risk attached.  

    They will have a cap on their liability but not necessarily the stakes placed.  But as their liability will be £30 at those odds, they'd take it.

    I'm open for any daily challenges. Dearyme on chess.com.

    Madwullie again escaped my clutches yesterday and another draw. Beating him is like trying to nail jelly to the wall!

    I’ll play you again, put me as white this time and I will need to win to get it to the fifth match.

    I have had 7 friendlies over the weekend, three with Trogdor - two defeats and a draw for me.  Although I was playing four games at once, so found that just too much.  Trogdor is a very good player though.

    Mackieboz is improving with every game, we battled to a draw, both were up in the game.  Beat him in the second match.  Happy to play against you again but I will go black.

    I beat Starchanovski but I’m not sure their PnB name, he put me white so happy to have a return game as black.

    Played AH13STU and he gave me a doing.  Will rematch as white.

    I will send the invites out two at a time.  Four going on was carnage 😂
