"Wir haben es nicht gewußt" (although that one seems to be more of an idiom in Belgium and the Netherlands talking about the German civilians' defense of not knowing about the Holocaust)

    When you break it down there's a lot of parallels despite those elements being used in different ways: big battle on an ice/salt planet, chase through space, Jedi mentor on a distant planet, betrayal by a new character in/met in a glitzy planet, reveal/non-reveal of parentage, but on top of that you have Luke's arc going from disillusioned mentor to learning from failure and facing your mistakes, and the 'force is for everyone, not just a few genetic lineages' with the casino planet epilogue.

    The Last Jedi had some really powerful messages and was incredibly well made, but sadly it hurt some people's feelings a bit so it's seen as a bad movie despite commercial success and critical acclaim. And sadly that vocal minority made them backtrack a lot of the choices from that movie in episode 9, so yes, as a trilogy it became completely incoherent.

    Yeah, the Big question is: does the skewed coverage actually cause people to skew in their beliefs? I.e. would the average American think they are more likely to die from homicide than cancer or heart disease? I doubt they do.

    From a while ago I'd say GTA San Andreas, but I really want to shout out Boston from Fallout 4. It's easily the biggest city in a game that really fills out its size with interesting places and distinct neighborhoods. There's an amazing verticality to it as well in the central districts, and the mix of real historical buildings with new retro-futuristic ones is great as well.
