11 Scenes From "The Office" That Parallel "Star Wars: The Last Jedi"

"Star Wars: The Last Jedi" premiered over a month ago, and never has the fandom been so divided. Online forums and Youtube comment sections are littered with disputes about the film. Friendly discussions over Luke's dejected character and the nature of Kylo and Rey's relationship can quickly turn controversial. Visually, the film was stunning.

The acting was superb. And it's definitely one of the most complex plots of any Star Wars films. But fans are still left with some serious questions: Why didn't Holdo just tell Poe her big master plan? What was the point of following Rose and Finn to Canto Bright if they nothing was going to be gained from their mission? And what's up with that force sensitive kid at the very end of the movie? What does that mean for the final film???

The two-year wait will be a daunting one. But whether you loved "The Last Jedi," or wrote several strongly worded emails demanding it be removed from canon, we can all agree on one thing: "The Office" is amazing. So to ease a little tension, here's a retelling of the story straight from the beloved Michael Scott with a little help from the Assistant to the Regional Manager, Dwight Schrute.

11. Poe to Admiral Holdo in every scene.

Holdo is the Toby of the Resistance.

10. Luke standing over Ben in the flashback.

At least from his point of view.

9. Kylo just before killing Snoke.

Funny how he's devoted to the Supreme Leader until he threatens Rey....

8. When Kylo and Rey team up against Snoke's Praetorian Guards.

Totally didn't see that one coming.

7. Rey when Kylo starts walking toward Snoke's empty throne.

Rey will kick your butt back to the Light Side.

6. Finn when DJ betrays him and Rose.

Little does he know, Rey's lightsaber explosion has that covered.

5. Admiral Holdo after her heroic sacrifice.

*Spaceship.

4. Kylo to Luke at the Battle of Crait.

And Luke's just kinda like "Yeah whatever, kid".

3. What Rey's look to Kylo at the end of the movie really meant.

Ben Solo > Kylo Ren.

2. And after she closes the Force Bond on him.

We know they'll meet again in the last movie though.

And.....

1. When the movie ends and you remember this is Carrie Fisher's last contribution to the story.

This just makes her scene flying through space even more emotional.


As a fandom, we need to remember that the Star Wars community should be a place of positivity, always welcoming new fans in rather than turning every discussion into a heated debate. So if you're still upset about the newest Star Wars film (or if you're still obsessed with it), let's just all agree as a society that the answer is to everything always is simply to rewatch The Office.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
