No, but Moff Gideon wasn’t exactly working alone... now was he?  Hell we see his former bridge officer wandering around freely in the New Republic, disrupting shit. 

I find it baffleing that after 22 more or less self contained episodes that people are still going “Where’s the story!”

It’s weird how people think an episodic episode--which TV was full of before 15 years ago--are “side quests.”

I think that’s more of a saying for the zealot branch.

The writing, direction, and pacing met the goofiness of the visuals and guest performances by keeping things light and zippy. It was a really fun 40 minutes that felt like 20 (in a good way.) Fun action, a non-desert planet, and a self-contained adventure that set aside some time at the end for “big picture” plot…

Whatever Buzz Killington, I got half an evil Christoper Lloyd monologue before he got electrocuted & Jack Black & Lizzo as the sweetest space couple in the universe.

Also because I’ve been playing a lot of Skyrim again , this had a definite subquest vibe to it . Show up to a new area, have to solve a mystery to get a quest item, do it, get made a thane , sorry Knight, then get to do the thing you need to continue your main quest..

I thought the cheif Uag Naut looked a lot like Bobs horrible boss from the incredibles*, but I was just seeing constant cameos at that point.

Not to mention a girl had her face chewed off by a wolf and now just has a small-ish scar and never suffered infection.

Lukewarm take: the show was neither particularly good nor particularly bad.

Yes. Disney wanted to avoid the derelict county planning, zoning and regulatory schemes (since at the time in Osceola and Orange Counties were rural) and avoid what was apparently poor state management of those processes and so forth. They self-taxed and did, as you say, build modern infrastructure where there was…

Agree with Artisan Lightbulb, this post should be rated higher. You can see how beneficial this relations was for Florida when they tried to remove and it would cost the state 1 BILLION dollars (Austin Powers pic would be here if I wasn’t pressed for time).

Seriously underrated post. This is not about “unchecked corporate power,” it simply maintains a land-use scheme that has been in place for over 50 years and has worked well for both sides — Disney and the public alike — for that entire time. This just means the wife of the state party chair, and a pastor who thinks…

To be fair, fishing IRL is glorified QTE’s.

I’d bet good money that Disney has had this specific action ready to go for decades. Just one of many contingency plans for various possible eventualities.

Like wtf did these fascists think they were going to do on the board, approve scripts? Cancel shows, movies and casting direction? Like seriously what power did they even think they were going to have?

What’s even dumber is he’s going to “investigate” the move...just walk away, man. You got your “W” with your handpicked board of friends. You already took a victory lap. Just let your buds meet up for a nice dinner every once in a while, act like they’re in charge, and everyone goes about their business.

It is all in how you use them. Having them show up and makes sense in the story works. Having a massive NUDGE NUDGE WINK WINK moment is where it just feels like pandering.

Huh. Just assumed it was Jaro Tapal and a nod to Fallen Order from the screenshot, but admittedly have not been following the Mandalorian this season.

I had no idea who that was, and didn’t get the impression I was supposed to. I like that the cameos don’t punish the viewer for not seeing the however many episodes of whatever animated series.
