    OT: When watching

    Vader order Because the whole saga is really about Vader and his redemption (even the sequels are mostly about his legacy -- good and bad), this is what I'd recommend: [Vader]: New Hope Empire Strikes Back Return of the Jedi [Pre-Vader, i.e., Anakin]: Phantom Menace Attack of the Clones...

    OT: I don't listen to any of todays music

    Wilco is killing it lately -- I also loved Tweedy's album, Warm, last year. I'd add (and this is just what I've been into lately): Stephen Malkmus (especially Sparkle Hard) Purple Mountains (RIP DB) War on Drugs Cactus Blossoms Courtney Barnett Big Thief Jenny Lewis Sharon Van Etten

    OT: I don't listen to any of todays music

    I love Ryan Adams (as well as Wilco, etc.). I wish he could get his **** together. And, yes, Stranger's Almanac is amazing (I love I Don't Care What You Think About Me off the album's deluxe version). Check out Factory Girl off the Baseball Park Sessions Sessions for Faithless Street.

    Worst MSU Roadtrip You've Taken

    2001 at Florida So painful: 52-0. My first flight after 9/11. Beginning of Joe Lee Dunn's downfall. Florida. Florida's obnoxious fans. My rental car smelled like puke. Spurrier's dedicating the game to the water boy. On and on and on.

    OT: The Last Jedi

    The rumor is that they cannot do an Obi Wan movie yet because there will be some details revealed in Episodes 8-9 about his time on Tatooine. Once that is revealed they will begin production on his own movie (and possibly more).

    OT: The Last Jedi

    Not trying to argue with you you here, but how did you come to understand that Darth Plagueis died in the AOTC timeline? I thought it was an "old Sith legend."

    Yep, I agree. She's a Kenobi.

    Follow up question to What's the Pack Reading?

    Paperwhite I just bought a Paperwhite a month ago and really like it too. It reads much better than a tablet -- and, yes, you can use the backlight when you need to.

    OT: Asking The Pack: Keynote Speakers

    Wes Moore The best I have seen -- besides some of the bigger names like Colin Powell, Bill Clinton, etc. -- is Wes Moore, author of The Other Wes Moore (http://theotherwesmoore.com/about-the-book/). He was an incredible speaker with an incredible message.

    OT: Marathon Runners

    Besides what greenbean said, google Chi Running (I know, trust me) and try to incorporate some of its basic fundamentals: slight lean forward, don't brake, and reduce your gait. I killed my IT Band after my second marathon, but once I started running this way (knock on wood) I have had no other...

    OT: Anyone watching Stanger Things (Netflix exclusive)

    I loved it too. I would add that it echoes a little John Carpenter as well.
