Thanks. I was snarking a bit, but it’s genuinely something I’m trying to do. I went to college in Italy, England, and Hong Kong, and there’s a bunch of countries I’d rather live in than the US. But I’m entry-level and having trouble finding any job at all. My brother has a job in London, but he works in tech, while my

I’m not saying I’m happy about it, but America’s kind of important for us Americans. Emigrating isn’t easy...

Try Long Story Short. It’s the most pop song on the album.

They’ve managed to rob all the individual ones of any possible joy while drawing attention to the fact that they’re collectively overreaching by a massive margin.

...In which Maul and Saul team up to prosecute Kenobi.

WM... so, Wexler McGill.

Just checking to make sure this was from yesterday and there isn’t another one...

Not to mention, I love Star Wars and Marvel and TV, but I just don’t watch that much of it. And once I stop keeping up with all the stuff they’re releasing, the idea of an interconnected universe changes from an exciting bonus to a chore at best, or even a reason to quit the story entirely. I’m a completionist at

I do wonder how quickly that machine can be accelerated, though, considering everyone involved will be incentivized to cut through red tape and get theaters running again as quickly as possible.

I think it was just a poor choice of words for actors or organizations.

It’s really only half the armor, which makes sense considering everything it’s been through, but does kind of make it look like they didn’t finish up the CGI on the stuntman.

Baby Yoda falls in love with Callista.

I’m trying to think through the possibilities:

They did give her a choice to come back in Season 5's last scene, and she walked out on them on her own. Her final conversations with the Jedi Council in Season 7 also make it clear the Jedi would have been willing to take her back afterwards, if she’d wanted to return. But I do agree the phrasing’s odd.

In fairness, “sit on our asses until Anakin’s kids come of age” sounds a lot like a plan the prequels’ Jedi order would come up with.

I loved the old EU and The Clone Wars, but not Rebels. I’ve watched the Disney movies, but nothing beyond that in their new canon, and I wasn’t thrilled with the flicks. So, from my perspective, The Mandalorian is fine up until the end of Season 1, at which point it starts displaying some signs of potential greatness.

Ahsoka may have never met Yaddle, but you’d think she’d have heard of her. That said, if Ahsoka had said she knew two members of the species, I understand that a lot of audience members would have gotten confused or assumed a big clue was being dropped.

Yeah, I can see that. To me, personally, it feels like The Mandalorian has a serialized story to tell eventually, but it’s doing digressions into standalone episodes. And I like those standalone episodes, but the way they lurch between them doesn’t feel organic to the story to me. The scouring of the Shire flows

It’s not that large a difference, and whether it matters is in the eye of the beholder, but I think quest stories fit into the procedural/serialization split I mentioned above. They have elements of both, but that’s built into the premise: They’re going to a destination, and it will be a long journey. Nobody asked why

I think there’s a reasonable possibility Gideon real goal is to make himself force-sensitive, and he’s just using troopers as an excuse. So I’d bet he’s already done a few experiments on himself but it’s a work in progress.
