The Mandalorian is the story of a bounty hunter in the Outer Rim who is no stranger to using lethal force. Is it lawful for a bounty hunter to kill?
More legal issues from The Mandalorian!
Can an IG Droid have a enforceable contract? Will we see IG-11 have a mutual understanding of the benefit of the bargain? Read The Legal Geeks to find out. #starwars https://www.instagram.com/p/B4V4RDqpnho/?igshid=v9ny4gbo584p

Join us at San Francisco Comic Con on Friday and Saturday for our three panels on Kaiju, Classic Universal Monsters, and Star Wars.
Baby Groot is adorable…and a dancing his way into great legal issues.
Just who is Baby Groot’s legal guardian? All of the Guardians acted as Groot’s guardian. Who would a court actually appoint as the guardian?
Baby Groot was grown from the remains of the original Groot. The law is not designed for adoption of talking trees, so a court could view the original Groot as the “parent” of Baby Groot. As such, Baby Groot would be an orphan.
Dr. Christine Palmer in Doctor Strange found herself having to treat an injured Dr. Strange in an homage to The Oath. Just what is a doctor’s duty to treat an injured person who enters an emergency room in New York?
#TBT to 1985 when we whale-comed a crew of star-trekking time travelers. Happy 50th Anniversary, Star Trek! George and Gracie say “Hi!”
When Star Trek IV hit theaters, humpback whale populations were low, having been hunted to the brink of extinction before a hunting moratorium was introduced in 1966. But thanks to conservation efforts, these whales have made huge strides towards recovery, so much so that nine of the 14 distinct humpback populations were recently taken off the Endangered Species List. Live long and prosper, humpback whales!
I remember visiting when they had the Star Trek exhibit after the movie. Extremely cool.
Mercury astronaut Gus Grissom on the phone with John F. Kennedy after becoming the second American in space, July 21, 1961. A faint autograph reads, “Regards to Joe Garino/ Virgil I. Grissom.“ (via)
Perhaps the best astronaut of the Original 7.
Sure amazing technology. Look forward to Orion.
Sorry to bother you, but I haven't actually seen any of the TOS!movies, and I gotta ask, is there an actual reason that Bones returns dressed like a disco star or is it just kind of accepted without comment?
No problem you’re not a bother. And the movie where Bones is dressed as a disco star (excellent description, now I’m just imagining Bones dancing in a disco club before he was beamed aboard the enterprise) is the first tos movie, Star Trek The Motion Picture.
And as for the reason he’s dressed as a disco star, the movie was released in 1979 so that was the fashion style of that time. But the outfit is his civilian clothing as he was not in Starfleet at the moment. Once he rejoined when Jim asked he shaves and changes his clothes.
I doubt when the movie producers put Bones in that outfit they thought it would become iconic. But it did and it’s glorious.
It is a classic look.
It all comes down to a couple of jokes. First, it’s mentioned that Judy Hopps, the rabbit heroine, has 275 brothers and sisters. It’s supposed to be a quick gag about how fast rabbits reproduce, and if you’re like me, you just assumed that Judy’s parents are unstoppable fuck machines.
But if you pause the charming Disney movie to do math, you reach horrifying conclusions. Judy’s parents represent everyday bunnies who live mundane lives, so it’s safe to assume that having 275 children is considered average. If all 275 of Judy’s siblings have an average of 275 kids of their own, Judy’s going to have 75,625 nieces and nephews. The third generation of Hopps would be 20,796,875 strong – a Sri Lanka’s worth of offspring. The fourth generation would see 5,719,140,625 bunnies born, while the fifth would see 1,572,763,671,875. There would be over one and a half trillion Hopps. To put that in perspective, that’s 212.5 times the current human population, and there would be about 14.6 times more members of the Hopps family than there have been estimated people in all of human history.
I think we can all agree that Judy is adorable, and there’s a significant subsection of the internet that finds her much more than that. But she’d be a lot less fuzzy-wuzzy if there were a trillion and a half of her blotting out the very surface of the Earth as they strip it bare in their all-consuming quest for carrots. And that’s just one family.
Fun with math.
Michael Collins (l) with John Young.
Two outstanding pilots.
Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson have all praised the new movie and its stars.
Glad the original team liked the new film.
What do pets do when we’re not home? Make bank at the weekend box office, apparently, as the Illuminations-Universal animated comedy The Secret Life of Pets is proving as it blows past expectations with an extraordinary estimated $103.
Cute and enjoyable family film.
