I still think Jorge got the wrong end of the stick by dressing the Jedi in that style of robe tho tbh

    Order 66 was a dark day for the robe industry. (allegedly, Palps shorted all his stocks the day before)

      You telling me Sheev would do something as dastardly as insider trading? I don’t believe it. The Jedi probably set up those transaction to make it look like the Senate, I mean Chancellor Palpatine, was a criminal. Evidently there is no limit to the calumnies he has to suffer at the hands of traitors.

    The unbelievable thing in ALL These crime shows, breaking bad/Ozark/etc is that early in the series, the protagonist and/or likeable characters are presented with duffels/storage sheds/ campers full of money, more than they can carry, and they dont just take it, declare victory, and fuck off somewhere to live like kings somewhere no one would bother looking.

    Tuco wouldn’t be looking for you in the Phillipines.

    Honestly it’s my same beef with billionaires. You won capitalism, you caught all the Pokemon wnd were declared a pokemon master by Forbes, find a new hobby, as you can sure as hell fund it. Nope, im gonna parlay 10 billion into 20 and create a monopoly that makes non-wealthy people’s lives harder.
