I wish we could leave Soon Yi out of this. Yes, Allen groomed her and abused his paternal trust. But Soon Yi doesn’t want to be part of this conversation or have her sex life litigated by strangers. It seems that the sexual relationship started when she was 18. It’s too muddy and detracts from Dylan’s story.

I’m going to be unpopular for this but I don’t care. There were 2 people in that teen relationship and just like most teen relationships it ended. It didn’t end well.

The weirdest thing I’m seeing are fan theories that the S2 finale of Mandalorian effectively wipes out the sequel trilogy, that somehow by having badass young Luke show up and take Grogu as his apprentice (ward?), Episodes VII-IX are rendered invalid and retconned from the saga.

I get why some auteurs are railing against this, but in the end, it’s the best thing for consumers. Read more

?  Legendary is literally suing Warner over this, so they sure don’t agree that it’s “just business”. 

This isn’t Warner trying to salvage itself -- they could do that by selling the streaming rights to the highest bidder, which might be Netflix or one of the other streaming services.  This Warner being cannibalized by AT&T to salvage their inept pivot to streaming.
