But wasn’t that the point? They’re banking on the average viewer not being familiar and thinking exactly what you said. Even the fact that she has weird white lightsabers that don’t match the traditional blue or green (or purple) they they know good guys have. So for the normies it’s a regular Mando episode where he’s…

Niiiiceee. I kind of hope Moff Gideon is not working with Thrawn. I am currently enjoying the idea that we are seeing rival Empire factions forming.

I actually think this may happen a lot sooner than the end of the series. I have a suspicion he’s going to wind up showing his face to Grogu by the end of this season. Meeting other Mandalorians who can nicely explain that he actually belonged unwittingly to an extremest cult and that Mandos are actually okay with…

The reviewer seems to think she never found Thrawn and Ezra. My first assumption was that she and Sabine had found him and Ezra in the unknown regions, but he got away back to regular space.

...what if it’s no Jedi? What if Grogu decides not to reach out through the force? Of all the things we’ve seen in Star Wars, someone purposely not becoming a Jedi or Sith when they have force powers is not something we’ve seen. At best, it’s been a Jolee Bindo or Ahsoka situation where someone trained as a Jedi just…

Well, call me stupid, but I had just assumed they were talking about Gideon... But hey, a surprise, to be sure but a welcome one :D

Mister 45 is a hero to MAGA but he never meant a damn thing to me

I measure Vanessa Hudgenses with the same stick as ever other actor in existence: Were they good on Drunk History? And yes, she was. Therefore she is great.

In Trevorrow’s IX script, Finn leads a Stormtropper rebellion on Coruscant, and Rose escapes capture and sabotages the First Order Flagship. Was only a first draft but already felt like a sequel to TLJ and had 4 hero lead roles.

Carlson’s actions here are the reason given in Inglourious Basterds for carving the swastika into the foreheads of captured Nazis. He’s a modern version of a tower guard at Dachau putting on a prisoner uniform and climbing the back fence while the Allies are pouring through the front gate. He hopes he can take off all…

Plus you can shoot through them!

I was 7 too and not allowed to see Star Wars. The special was the only Star Wars I had outside the Kenner commercials. I was excited to see anything Star Wars.

and if you would like to visit those studios, they are in the hintonburg/mechanicsville neighborhood here in ottawa, where there’s also a lot of great craft breweries now

There is absolutely no military option, short of invasion and long-term occupation, that would weaken Iran’s theocracy. Those of us who considered Bolton a whackjob did so precisely because he believed that attacking Iran was a good idea.

AND the post ROTJ Droids cartoon.

Iran’s theocratic nightmare of a regime, but Trump’s hand would screw that up mightily.

Oh man...I completely forgot about those Kenner Movie Viewers! Those were awesome! I think I was 8 or 9 when the Holiday Special came out. Me and my younger brother LOVED it! Ah, the innocence of youth.

I find it amusing that the US seems to WANT the same thing.. just their flavour of a theocratic goverment.

I still remember Trump tweeting out the clip of Thanos saying “I am inevitable” which I thought at the time was ironic considering that was literally the last line he spoke before losing everything.

Oh, how I wish it could selectively kill the willfully obtuse. Sadly, that means some of my immediate family, co-workers, and people I've known for decades would be wiped out, and I know that makes me an asshole in some parts. That said, I'm fully fucking fed up with the willful belligerence and idiocy that we're…
