I never understood why that was torture for a droid. Since they are made of metal, and didnt have nerves.

Characters from the new canon comics are just as obscure to mainstream audiences as characters from the old EU ones.

It’s wild that this is the kind of story my generation gets retold to us through a major, star-studded miniseries. I’m not saying that judgmentally. Like, I think it’s genuinely hilarious and kind of great. “Here’s the exciting story of how a guy stole a sex tape from a couple of B-tier ‘90s celebrities!” Nice. Way to…

Now I want to see an HBO show about Imperioli as a middle aged Buddhist white guy at the White Lotus resort—especially since that character description also matches show creator Mike White.

Well, there’s a storytelling rule that you don’t introduce a bad-ass black-furred spike-shouldered Wookiee and then waste him in the same scene, particularly if you’ve opted to use a fan-favorite character from the sub-material. If it had just been a random Wookiee, sure, but Black Krrsantan isn’t to be wasted on just…

Unless W-Y Science Division has been completely taken over by androids. In which case, they want to unleash a self-replicating flesh-eating monster on humanity to wipe it out and make the earth and colonies safe for androids, knowing the xenomorphs will ignore synthetic life and go into hibernation once all the humans…

Fuck easter eggs. We’re getting lore. We’ve learned more about Tuskens than the past 50 years (less if you count Phantom Menace) has ever shown. We learned that there’s such a thing as Tusken craftsmen, for example. And that their ceremonies involve a psychedelic lizard that likes your brain.

Not an easter egg exactly, but I *love* that the voice of the palace droid is Matt Berry. Looking forward to a future episode where the palace is attacked and he vanishes after shouting “BAT!”

It’s probably the Twins being the equivalent of Made Men in our world, right? If you’re in the “Mafia”, you can’t just kill other members wantonly, you need a damn good reason.

My favorite easter egg is that this is clearly a sign of Disney properties cross-pollinating. I’m of course talking about the fact that Ratatouille has clearly taken over the Rancor pit 

Maybe this will be entertaining. But eight parts?!

Growing up in a rural backwater where there are no prospects to be found, I’m always surprised by the number of people I grew up with that stayed.

This is the best explanation I’ve heard in 40+ years of why any corporation would want to capture one of these. Bravo!

The main reason you’d want to get a hold of a live xenomorph would be to find out how it forms viable hybrids with completely alien life forms. It’s like if you found a snake that could somehow mate with whales and produce hybrid snake-whale beings, except a thousand times harder still since they wouldn’t even have…

Physics is a bitch!

Where’s Patton’s shout out is all I’m asking...

Boba’s been a clone child, teenage serial killer, unscrupulous bounty hunter and killer, Sarlacc food, someone who helps oppressed peoples fight back against their oppressors, someone who saves dying people in the desert, and now he’s trying his hand at being Tattoine’s resident crime lord. I’m into it.

Fennec is already a bounty hunter by this point so I doubt it, unless she’s hiding out for some reason.
