@gertiestn You're right, pretty lame of us to not include females in here. I'm going to add some as comments and people can vote on them (and add their own of course).
@KDemo My suggestion is that you read it and come to your own conclusion - it is worth the read . . . It isn't a TKAM, but then, what is (or could be)? TKAM is sublime. Watchman could have benefited by more than a "light edit" IMHO, but the reviews (and my own opinions) are split.
I forget who originally pointed this out, but Yoda was a failure as a mentor in keeping with the long tradition of Muppet failures. Kermit couldn't keep a show on track, Fozzie Bear can't tell a good joke, Dr. Honeydew blows shit up, Miss Piggy can't land her man, The Swedish Chef can't make a meal, etc. Yoda couldn't get Luke to complete his training, he did pretty bad jobs with Dooku and Anakin too.

Tony Stark ala Iron Man 3.
I smell testosterone poisoning. Male mentors? Bhaha!

@AnnaB If they make a movie out of the literary perversion that is Go set a Watchman, you may change your mind.
@Pavlov that makes me sad. I bought the book but haven't started reading it yet.
@AnnaB Maybe you'll have an opinion different than mine after reading.
@Pavlov - You've read it already? Recommendation? I have a hold request at the library.
