Fully agreed. I do not get the people outraged at this. I do not get the people who think these movies are sacrilegious of worthy of being blacklisted as a creator. And I especially don’t get people who points to this as “proof” that we need copyright and trademark to last forever.

All in all, who cares?

It’s always best to believe the perpetrator over the accuser.

“Ragnarok means never having to say you’re sorry” . . .

Which is weird, because Waititi can do emotional well (Jojo Rabbit, Wilderpeople). 

I pray that this show has the balls to get to the end of this series without ever once uttering the words “Jedi” or “the force.” It’s so, so good.

This show was utter perfection. From start to finish, utter perfection. So many sublime performances. Fiona’s hologram farewell and Skaarsgard’s speech were both brilliance. A grown up and thought provoking Star Wars (Disclaimer: I love them all) that was bold and well written and beautifully shot and performed by…

I literally thought to myself that the effects team must have missed a memo from the writing team but whatever, still a great episode. 

This show isn’t for everyone. And that’s what made it so special.

The Day After Tomorrow was a Roland Emmerich movie.

My young elementary age kid and I watched it together and despite her being restless from time to time... she still loved it, and had lots of thought provoking questions about the show (often she was confused by the motives of some characters... ‘why is Cel trying to kill Cassian??’)

This is such a great series that they could merely change a few names and wording here and there, take “Star Wars” off of it and it would still be just an amazing sci-fi spy thriller political drama, standing tall on its own. I feel it is the singular best work done in the entire franchise. Addendum: of course, then…

Mashing up 70s era Star Wars with the DNA of THX1138 was an absofuckinglutely brilliant call.

It would make sense in a huge engineering project to prioritize the items of highest risk first, and I think a Kyber-crystal driven superlaser would fall into that category. After they proved out that it works correctly, then they’ll spend the next five years doing things like building the barracks and kitchens and…

I’m not reading anything until I catch up, but I gotta sing the praises of this show. Finally a Star Wars story that is not based on nostalgia, that justifies itself by itself as opposed to in reference to something else, is specifically for grown ups (not that older kids can’t get it but, you know, not marketed to…

i initially thought they had just removed ‘jeff’ from the article title.

I did have one nitpick with this episode: when Cassian gives instructions to the ship taking Bix to safety, he’s very clear that they should keep low until they’re over the sea, and then the ship takes off and immediately flies up into the clouds.

It’s not even close. This is the best Star Wars TV show of all time.

The score for this season deserves special recognition. Nicholas Britell did outstanding work.

When I die, please make my ashes into a brick and beat fascists with it as well.
