Almost like this is a negotiating tactic and each side is trying to come out on top, DiMaggio by showing what the fan support is, the studio going “see, we can have someone else do your role,” the announcement of the show itself being them saying that they got West and Sagal already to put pressure on DiMaggio to…

One off episodes of a character or story that seemingly has no connection to the main plot of the show is pretty common. Establish a new character, give up to date information about a returning character, tell a story in the past or somewhere else that parallels or informs the main story. The problem here is that with…

My feeling at the end of that scene is that it’s a different kind of test than presented, and Grogu chooses both, which is what Luke wanted. Obviously this is just headcanon, but it seems like they’re purposefully making it a misdirect there in having to choose. Who the hell knows though, maybe it’s just what it is on…

The problem is that by marketing it as seemingly it’s own thing, it being just a smaller part of the larger Mandalorian story isn’t conveyed to the audience in any sort of good way. Call it “The Mandalorian: The Book of Boba Fett” or “The Book of Boba Fett: The Mandalorian,” something in the actual title of the show…

If every Disney+ show was presented under some catch-all banner like “Star Wars Adventure Presents” (or something less stupid than that) it would be more understandable that stories would circle back on each other in an anthology format. I claim to be tired of the tightly interwoven approach to Star Wars that doesn’t…

But see, that’s the thing. They kept clips online. They’re still selling the episodes, digitally and on disc. That just makes removing them from streaming an empty performative gesture, because if they were really against what these shows did, they’d remove them from sale and take clips offline. But they didn’t, so…

Right, just shows how empty and reactionary it was because that bit, along with just being an unfunny slog, is pretty offensive too. But since it’s a bad bit, no one thinks about it or remembers it to even be flagged.

I’d rather them not erase things from history. It’s not good when it’s done on either side. Put a disclaimer on them.

Sure, context never matters in anything. Context is nothing. Everything should pass muster with no context.

Insanity. Just put a damn disclaimer card on the episodes. 

 In 2020, one episode of W/ Bob And David was removed because Cross could not make it four episodes without doing Blackface in one of the sketches, which he then refused to apologize for. Let’s see if he can manage it this time.

Lots of callbacks to the prequel era this episode from a stewardship that otherwise seems pretty intent on ignoring it.

There was also talk of some of the “reshoots” being just getting original scenes with any actors that couldn’t do principal photography because Covid messed up their schedule. There’s myriads of reasons, “the movie is in trouble” is rarely one with Marvel (especially since they kicked Perlmutter out of the equation).

Yea, this is literally how Marvel has been working for over a decade. The movie is never finished until they are literally forced to send copies to theaters (and sometimes not even then, hello Avengers credits tag). How additional shooting for Marvel movies is still news is a mystery to me (not really, it’s just for…

2 hours of them jamming on a piano while busting through the floors of a building or what's the point.

Something happened in the last decade that really made people unable to understand the concept of serialized storytelling, particularly in the TV format. Not every episode of a thing is going to be full steam ahead on plot and nothing else. There can be episodes where it’s just “let’s just hang out and learn about…

Well, really, what character was Boba Fett before? He was a faceless bounty hunter who easily gets killed, never given anything more than he liked disintegrating people. Even when Lucas went to the Prequels, he never made Boba anything. His entire character there, which extended into Clone Wars, was “I’m an angry…

Honestly, I am greatly enjoying how this show is not giving the hardcore Star Wars fans what they want, a show where it’s just Fett murdering people for an hour each week, while at the same time making the people who make fun of those Star Wars fans annoyed, because now they can’t make fun of them for liking the show.…

People are really desperate for info on anything right now, aren’t they. Even if this rumor is true, there’s still 6 weeks between when Boba Fett ends and this could start that has nothing announced. I’m sure if we just wait a week or two they’ll announce what the next headline D+ show will be.

It’s fucking Mastermind with words, what’s the big deal over this.
