SimpsonsClone Wars did it.

Personally, I think throwing in an entire, off-screen “Ahsoka trained Sabine until they had a falling out” was also a really odd choice. You were already going to have a chunk of the viewership that hadn’t watched TCW or Rebels, so I guess they decided to double down and give superfans something to not know about also?

that final scene is the first time I’ve ever felt like anyone who hasn’t seen the show would be at a serious disadvantage, and I’m sure the next episode will provide the basics for them.

I didn’t read the head-push as anything other than Shin reacting to what she thought would be a force push that wasn’t. That’s why she picks on Sabine when it fails.

Qui-gon and Obi-Wan

Witwer mentioned on a podcast that Lucasfilm is pretty loyal once you’ve signed on and done good work. It’s possible that Sam’s credit was just an easy paycheck for years of service.

It’s probably a typo and is supposed to read “scrappy”.

Sir, there are two live-action Flintstone and Scooby Doo movies, a Yogi Bear movie, and others that I’m sure I’m forgetting about.

Shin absolutely isn’t old enough to have been a Padawan during the Purge. She’s a young Force-sensitive that was likely found by Baylon and/or Elsbeth, just as I’m sure there are others scattered throughout the galaxy.

Also worth mentioning:
We all know about the Game of Thrones influence, but no one’s really talking about how this game has near-Ted Lasso levels of positivity.

I don’t know why that isn’t an option for Disney+ now as it was during COVID. Everyone with a Disney+ subscription just waits for the movies to make it to the platform, but a decent chunk of them will pay for advance access.

The chasm between the theater experience and the common living room has also drastically shrunk. It’s not worth venturing out for a movie I’m not super confident in when I can stream it later in a mostly comparable environment.

Kingdom Hearts is absolutely a spin-off and, at this point, maybe even more true to the “What Makes a Final Fantasy?” narrative than the main series.

Jedi: Survivor absolutely needs to be on this list.

It really sounds like Final Fantasy, as a franchise, is like a restaurant. Each menu item is unique in its own way, but the atmosphere, the ambiance, the service, all of that is pretty consistent.

The biggest thing for me was the Empire wanted meter. It’s GTA in a galaxy far, far away.

Does Dagan count as having survived the purge since he wouldn’t have even been a target of the purge? This is also true of who I think you’re referring to.

I’m still trying to figure out how they got to 5. Are they counting the Ninth Sister? Merrin?

It can simultaneously be true that there are a handful of survivors out there, but Luke and Leia were the last hope of defeating the Empire because of their connection to Vader.

It’s also true that “The Last Jedi” was likely referring to Luke as the previous Jedi.
