    I mostly agree.
    Not with Orban though. He was (and still is) very wrong in almost everything he does, including the immigration crisis. IMHO he is way too far in the extreme right corner.

    But that's really too far from Star Wars I guess.

    Let's talk about another controversial topic instead:
    The Ewok movies!

    Have y'all seen them? And what do you think are the good/bad parts of them?

    My memory on them is a tad hazy, I've seen them on TV once or twice, back in... the 90s I guess.

    Here is an IGN article to start off:

    Really? Many of the other countries in Europe are having huge issues with terrorism. Additionally, sections of the cities become so dangerous that they are considered "no go" zones. Forget about opinions or political affiliations, the crime statistics since the adoption of open borders have not been favorable. Even as I peruse the Canadian Travel Advisory, I see prominent and previously safe European countries are now listed with the warning "Exercise a high degree of caution".

    Surprise, surprise... not in Hungary!



    Poor tiny little Hungary was one of the first to stand up to the EU, but they no longer stand alone. We have seen the formation of the V4 (Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia). Italy has also turned against EU policy. Then we have the case of Brexit. More and more countries are swinging to the right over the migration crisis.

    I'm not sorry to say that history has proven Orban to be correct.

    No, we don't. The Terrorist threat is greatly exaggerated, and those "no-go" areas have been there for a long time, since before the refugee crisis.

    I am not saying that the policy was right, it wasn't in many cases, but mainly for economic reasons.

    Can we now go back to Star Wars?
    You and I agreed that we don't want to discuss that here, and we both made short statements. That should be enough.

    Agree to disagree (at least for now). We'll wait a bit more and let history decide which of us is correct!

    Like this? (and no, I didn't make it myself)

    I can't speak on the Ewok movies because I have never seen them. I had enough of the Ewoks in Episode VI.

    That's sad. Those movies are... highly special.

    Ewoks in general are a funny thing for me.
    I was young enough to like them when I first saw the movie, so I have quite fond memories of them. At the same time I see that from a movie point of view many scenes with them are pretty badly done.
    So nowadays they fit into the category "not really good but I still enjoy it" for me.
    They should have gone for the Wookies, but well, George Lucas was about the money, and the rating that allows 12 year old kids to see it was in danger, so he thought it was a good idea.
