That’s literally the only reason I scrolled through all the comments. Sad to see only four people even bringing up “Arthur Christmas”.

“Arthur Christmas” is a masterpiece, & is ten times better than anything else on this list. And I say that as someone who *likes* a lot of the movies on this list.

100%--it’s not even close.

A theater here in the Twin Cities is doing “Dinner for One” this season, & we’re going tomorrow night.  I’d never heard of it, either, but it sounds like it’ll be good fun.  Looking forward to it!

I’ve never seen it—hell, I forgot it even existed—so I’m glad to see it here. Definitely will check it out!

“Then they should have written for him to say that, rather than expecting the audience to write the scene for them (again).”

He did say it: Ezra effectively explained it twice—both why Sabine should keep the saber AND why he didn’t want it. I’d have to rewatch the scene to be 100% sure, but my memory is that Ezra said…

“Star Wars: Rebels has its flaws, and certain episodes are pretty strictly for the kids”

I felt the same way about the “Clone Wars” series—took quite a while to really get going, & even longer to feel canonically essential, but it eventually got there. I’m late to the “Rebels” party (only just getting through Season…

Made me think of Dumbledore dueling Voldemort in the Ministry of Magic in “Order of the Phoenix”--less a physical shield & more of a force field.  Well, capital-F Force field, I guess.

Right—spy, singular. Episode 7 was called “The Spies”, plural. Primed the viewer to expect betrayal from one of the Mandalorians, but that didn’t happen. I suppose it could also imply more such agents out there whom we haven’t met?

The cruelty is the point, I think. Fascists actively enjoy having the boot on others’ collective neck—they don’t need a reason at all, let alone a logical, or even fiscally practical, one. Oppressors gonna oppress.

Good eye—I didn’t pick up on that at all, but I bet you’re right. Part of what’s great about this show is it has very little fan service—only what’s really necessary to tie the show to the bigger SW arcs. So a subtle nod like costume design is particularly rewarding.

I love the idea that this show was conceived as a very limited-run thing. There’s a clear point-A-to-point-B trajectory--the fun is in HOW we get where we already know we’re going.

A Twilght Zone-esque twist ending, like Burgess Meredith breaking his glasses.

I’m looking foward to re-watching “Rogue One” again right after “Andor” ends.

Eh, just don’t look at it like that. Don’t think of it as dark or gritty or adult. I agree with many here that it feels less like it’s “for kids” than a lot of Star Wars stuff, but it also still feels like Star Wars. Bottom line—it’s a very good show, well made. Chuck the labels & just enjoy!

And it’s just reality—people consume branded products. And calling attentin to a brand isn’t even that weird in real life. I would much rather see someone drinking, say, a Bud Light that a “BEER”. The phony non-brands just shake the illusion that these are more than just characters on a show.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if we see all Five Wizards next season.”

Assuming you’re talking about the “Nerd of the Rings” guy? He generally does good work—I especially like all his videos on the history of Middle-earth. But I haven’t watched any of his viewing party/live streams, & I have only watched a couple of his recap videos for this series. I’ll probably get around to watching…

Plus, with so many characters being either literally immortal or very long-lived, there wouldn’t even need to be much recasting. Maybe just Theo? Having Isildur “die” would make it easier for him to reappear years later played by a different actor.
