"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Why is Luke's last name "Skywalker"?

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
well. in that episode vader SOMEHOW knew to go to that planet.. (the force)... he knew because luke was there..
it all kinda winds in i think.
but just remember, when unexplained, think wizard.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

The Lars (Owen and Beru) were not blood related to Anakin and Shimi. As far as everyone knows, Anakin was an only child! There may be some connection between the Lars and Obi-wan Kenobi. I heard somewhere that Owen was Ben Kenobi's brother.

Have you even seen the movies? Emperor Palpatine tells Vader that Luke is the son of Anakin Skywalker and Vader says something like "How can that be?"

Vader is holding a sheet of DNA lab results and says to Luke, "I'm 99.999% sure I am your father..."

That's only in the new, special edition versions. Those of us who grew up on the original un-bastardized versions remember that it originally wasn't mentioned till that fateful duel at the end of ESB.
Vader: Obi-wan never told you what happened to you father did he?
Luke: He told me enough, he told me you killed him!
Vader: No. I AM YOUR FATHER!
Of course, the totally rewritten special edition version of the Emperor and Vader's convo (notice the difference in the hologram and the voice from the original) totally undermines that revelation.
Just goes to show you: If something aint broke, don't fix it. That means you mr. Lucas!

It's more like a wandering samurai tale. I've seen tons upon tons of great movies where the protaginist have swords and have the ability to deflect bullets and what not.
And the whole "Master (fill in the blank)" thing, they might as well be saying Sensai. Starwars is a total rip from that motif no doubt about it. The only diff is the galactic fantasy apeal to it which caught on pretty big.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

He told lucas "I don't want to go out like no punk"
He also told lucas that he wanted to have a purple lightsabre because he likes purple...and so he could stand out more the some other people in the combat scenes in Episode 2.

They have the power of the force, they can just sense these things. Like when Luke revealed to Leia that she was his sister, even with her undeveloped power she could still feel that he was telling the truth.

Vader never forgot that he was once Anakin Skywalker. In the original version of Empire Strikes Back, the Emperor hologram (voiced by Clive Revill and looking somewhat like a cross between a human and lemur), told Vader that the son of Skywalker was the disturbance he felt in the force. Vader did not seem phased by this revelation. He simply mused casually that Luke could be turned and the Emperor thought it was a good idea. At the time, there was no reason for the audience to see any connection between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader other than the fact that we still operated with the assumption that the only connection was that Vader killed Luke's father, as reported by Ben Kenobi in Episode IV.
