I’ve been hoping they would be “Forcetiming,” as introduced in TLJ, which would allow the actors to share scenes without Obi-Wan giving away his location, or having a lightsaber battle, or otherwise messing with the established continuity in ANH.

Hey remember when there was a global pandemic that (almost overnight) turned the formerly simple act of being in a movie theater into a terrifying life-or-death proposition? And then most of us spent nearly two years avoiding movie theaters in favor of streaming at homes?

I felt Cho’s age was a significant issue. He obviously did a lot of work to get in shape for the role, and I didn’t feel he looked “old,” but the character was still very much written as a young man and nobody around him seemed to address that he should probably grow up already. I think this disconnect contributed to…

I realize this is heresy, but maybe… we’ve just already seen everything there is to do with the Batman character?

Nearly all comedy sequels are really fucking bad. I can’t think of a good one!

Paramount was right! Why should they have to CGI a mustache *into* their movie, just because WB decided they wanted to reshoot an actor’s entire role? That Mission Impossible movie would have been all distracting if they’d gone along with it.

I still think there’s no getting around the weirdness of a catering company with multiple staffers pushing 50, unless only one of them is still a caterer and the rest have long since moved on to cubicle jobs after giving up the dream.

I think what happened there was, when JJ made TFA he had a specific plan in mind for the middle chapter, one that was totally unoriginal — Snoke would reveal he’s really Darth Plagueis (and survive to the third movie), and Rey would be revealed as Palpatine’s granddaughter or whatever, after this had been hinted at…

Yeah this made me especially angry because, up until Mando shows up, the Boba Fett series has been a slog to get through and almost totally stands on its own apart from the main continuity. If they wanted to make a boring Boba Fett limited series where they recreate the Jabba’s Palace set and clone stamp all the…

They really should have met up outside of Holsten’s to drop a flower by the door or something in order to confirm that Tony totally died there.

You have articulated the issue with this scene better than I’ve ever seen elsewhere — if you take the flamethrower gag out of it, but give Patrick Wilson a fat suit, it’s kind of funny that superheroes are graphically fucking in an owl dirigible to Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah. If you take the graphic fucking out of the…

I keep thinking about how confusing Mandalorian S3E1 is going to be to someone who got bored of Boba Fett and didn’t watch through to the last few episodes. After all *that* to summon Luke Skywalker and send Grogu off for training, he’s just back with Mando after barely attending his Jedi freshman orientation.

I made the same Mandela Effect type mistake, I think it’s because Bane’s direct involvement in the Tusken slaughter was such a predictable and telegraphed plot twist that it feels like it happened, even though it didn’t. But it’s not like they threw out some unexpected twist instead there, they just had Boba kill him…

Nolan also trolled audiences after The Dark Knight came out, where he ended the movie on a massive cliffhanger and then kept giving interviews where he was like “I never planned on making a third Batman movie… my focus has been on Inception.”

It feels like they pitched a Boba Fett series — because wouldn’t it be cool to do a Boba Fett series? — and then only realized after they got the episode order and started breaking the episodes down that they didn’t really have a story in mind and had nothing interesting to do with the character. All the padding and…

Right? I thought the entire point of the original trilogy was that the Jedi were wrong to preach about the evils of attachment, because Anakin’s attachment to his children was actually what brought him back from the dark side and defeated the Sith. And the prequels demonstrated that if the Jedi had just let Anakin…

And not just children! He’s describing a total loss of sexual imagination, possibly as a result of medication he was taking to treat his mental illness. He’s saying that while he should be fantasizing about the (adult) groupies who are available to him because he’s a rock star, he has no interest in sex of any kind…

There was just so much less content even 10 years ago, it has to be hard to assign finite recapping writing talent to an infinite content universe. I think SNL gets recaps because everyone knows what SNL is.

Exactly! Boba is pretty well acquainted with Mando at this point, they’ve gone on multiple adventures together, you’d assume Mando would be the very first person he’d think of when looking for muscle — he couldn’t have just sent a text?

All of this might have bothered me if watching a randomly placed episode of The Mandalorian wasn’t a million times more fun than the regularly scheduled Boba Fett programming.
