The latest movie was “ANDOR” right? I figured they would cover all three boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT). Programmer humor I guess, but this is about nerdy geeky jokes.

Yeah I was going to say, I was thinking of the “original” Star Wars movies, and was trying to figure out how “NOT” made sense as the next movie after “The Last Jedi”.

And here I was thinking it’d be “Not: A Star Wars Story”.

On the topic of Star Wars and nerdity, is there any chance at all that Ahsoka Tano was not named after the mnemnonic for the trig functions?

No-one expects … the Last Jedi! [cue dramatic entrance with capes a-flying].  
  
  
Actually, with LucasFilm’s marketing prowess I expect the last Jedi film will be released about the time humans actually do have a galaxy-spanning civilization. In this galaxy, not one far far away.

Did they have capes too? They had cloaks, I know, but did they have capes? Maybe I just don’t know what a cape is.

Our granddaughter joined the sixth- grade math league at her school: good for her. She came over today and said she was cold. I told her to stand in the corner, because it’s 90 degrees there. She just glared at me.

And he reasonably expected the public to understand what that meant.

Nowadays I don’t think that button would work as well.

Oops, my mistake. The last one I actually liked was the Empire Strikes Back. I didn’t like the one with the Teddy bears, and abandoned the franchise after that. I’ve been assuming that all the ads I get on Netflix are for movies.

If it wasn’t a movie, what was it? A series or something?
