Awh balls.

I’m summing this up very briefly. If you want to read the full thing look at the original reddit post. This talks about what JJ’s cut of the movie looks like

-JJ Abrams original cut was 3 hours and 2 minutes long. Disney published the final cut in November and changed multiple thing without JJ’s permission or blessing. Musical changes were made, and things were edited out and stitched together like “scotch tape”

- there were four extra scenes with Rose that JJ wanted in the movie. Two involving Rey, and two more involving Leia. Disney said these scenes were too “risky”

- Jannah is confirmed Lando’s daughter

- Finn is confirmed force sensitive. He even gets to say it out loud! Uses the force on accident to open a door on the star destroyer. Disney changed this to a cgi BB-8 in the final cut.

- Rey was always meant to be a palparine, Ben was always supposed to be redeemed. And Ben was always supposed to die (the source states that they did not see the very first draft so Ben possibly might’ve survived that draft, but every other draft after he is always supposed to die)

- JJ didn’t want to make kylo and Rey kiss. But they did hug and speak to eachpther for over two minutes of screen time after Rey is resurrected.

- JJ wanted FinnPoe to happen. But Disney said NO. Plain and simple unfortunately.

- kylo and Rey each get many more scenes devoted to them figuring themselves out (Ben being redeemed and Rey figuring out she’s a Palpatine) The source praises Adams acting in these scenes.

- the force ghosts were supposed to BE THERE with Rey when she went against Palpatine. Samuel L Jackson, Hayden Christenson, and Ewan Mcgreggor were all on set and in costume to film the scene. Disney cut this and opted for voice overs instead

Humans:

the dude’s name was su dongpo (also known as su shi). his original poem went like this:

稽首天中天，

毫光照大千，

八風吹不動，

端坐紫金蓮

(Humbly bowed my head below all skies Minutest lights shine through my deepest bounds Immovable by strong winds from eight sides Upon purplish gold lotus I seated straightly by the low mound) (x)

on which his friend wrote “放屁” (fart, literally), and you know the rest.

Disabled Person: YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER FOOL!

The United States Government:

In order for disabled people to receive any sort of financial assistant for their housing, food, bills, medical supplies, etc., they cannot ever have more than $2,000 of resources to their name. Ever.

It doesn’t matter what it’s for.

You’re saving up for a new wheelchair?

For college?

To put a downpayment on a house?

Hell man, you just happen to budget for once in your life so that you can have some extra money in case something bad happens?

Your benefits immediately get cut off if you’re a cent over $2,000.

And, even worse, you usually end up having to pay back every dollar the government gave you that month.

So say you get $400. If they find out you’re twenty dollars over the resource limit, you have to give them all $400 back and you undergo an investigation of your funds to see if you will continue getting money.

“What if I spend the money that day?”

Doesn’t matter. In fact, from what I can tell, people who do this are actually put under investigation for fraud.

before the movie came out, Marvel gave him an exclusive preview screening. SOme people were upset because they felt if Marvel was really wanted to thank mantlo, they should have donated money to Mantlo’s family.

Sometimes, at the end of the month, he has no idea what to do with his money because the whole month went by and he still has 400-ish bucks in his account, and he fucking panics because he doesn’t want to get anywhere near 2,000.

And here’s the funnest part of the story!

One day he did a huge commission on Second Life and wound up earning 1500 bucks off of it, and he told the guy to donate it 500 bucks at a time over 3 months. The guy didn’t want to, and just donated all 1500, which put my brother at 2,036 bucks.

The state IMMEDIATELY (I’m talking less than an hour) called him up to tell him over the phone that they were canceling his SSI, because they noticed he had gone over the 2,000 buck threshold. He had to tell them that someone had made a charitable donation to him and that this was not a common occurrence in any way shape or form, and upon not believing him, my mother had to call to talk to them as his legal caretaker and say basically the same thing until they called off the cancellation of his SSI money.

He also had to cancel his renter’s assistance because it put him to 1,062 a month, so if he went 30 days without spending any money they’d cancel his SSI altogether. Like, none of us in the family have any fucking clue why that regulation is in place and it’s the stupidest shit in human history.
