I'm probably the only one who hopes Tasu Leech and Kanjiklub get a second-shot at badassery in the Mandalorian/Book of Boba Fett timeline. 🙄

At the very least, bring in Dengar who's now scurrying about the Star Wars underworld under the ridiculous alias "Rothgar Deng" following a LOT of bad cybernetic modifications.

Fennec Shand got LUCKY apparently.

Access to reliable health care on Tatooine really went downhill after that bar fight with the hermit...

But going back to Tasu Leech, #YayanRuhian performance in John Wick is one of many pieces of evidence that he was the tragic victim of cinematic malpractice in The Force Awakens.

#SignalBoost requested: THE DISTINGUISHED RAVEN FAC MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP deadline is February 28th ($500-$1,000+) These scholarships are for qualifying descendants of a Lao or Lao-Hmong individual who served in defense of the Kingdom of Laos (1960-1975) ravens.org/scholarship-fo…

Support for Lao & Hmong youth in college is vital because 50 years since the end of the war, fewer than 14% successfully graduate college. Many will be 1st in their families to attend college, considered by many to be a key step to escape multigenerational poverty in US.

If you can personally assist youth in preparing their applications, that would often be very helpful, because many do NOT have resources near them in their schools, libraries and community centers who can provide technical support in filling out the form.
