The thing is...Ahsoka really didn’t have much on screen relationship with Sabine in Rebels - everything they talked about happened in between the two shows, and that was the relationship that was most load bearing in the first two episodes!

the requirement of having and then also using a brain is apparently too much to expect from most viewers.

I continue to maintain that the majority of online Star Wars fans are the dumbest MFers alive and complain about plot holes even when every single thing gets spoon fed to them in dialogue. Today on Bluesky someone said they didn’t know who Thrawn was our why they should care and I was like “well, he’s the last…

Ezra trapped Thrawn and they were both shipped to a galaxy far far away using this ancient device.

Attack of the Clones was also about maps. At least this map followed the established in-universe logic of hyperspace navigation and the existence of computers. The map-to-Luke thing was dumb as hell.

There has been a problem with Star Wars fans specifically being dumber than a box of rocks and not getting plot points that are handed to them IN DIALOG since the original movie. And I say this as a fan myself.

Ahsoka is just looking for the same artifact she already knows Elsbeth is after.

yeah - it’s more like...what was she doing just chilling and terrorizing villagers in the middle of nowhere when she had all this clout on Corellia?

I was like “HOLY SHIT THEY COPY-PASTED HIM OUT OF THE CARTOON”

and like...in a way that makes more sense in canon because they are explicitly looking for a route not just a chunk of stars that could easily be matched against any other map of the galaxy. I am confused about the Morgan turning out to be a witch thing though?

you could uh just not visit io9, a website founded to talk about sci-fi

Huh, I’m not surprised I misremembered as last time I watched it was 15+ years ago, but highly recommend not watching it at 3am in a room with backlit fish tanks casting shadows....

Deep Blue Sea didn’t have a kid, but I’m pretty sure I remember it’s the black guy and the woman who make it. “You ate my bird” *flicks lighter*

huh, no, I read the whole thing and was saying it would have made a fantastic O-Deck post back in the day.

Comments like this are when I really miss O-Deck.

this is channeling some serious Legion energy

I thought for sure that Deltan parsley warning was going to be a Chekov’s gun for a whodunnit poisoning the ambassador episode, and what we actually got was so much better.

I was thinking of “Nor the Battle to the Strong” the whole time.

wait Helstrom actually came out?

Sorry - what’s the rest of the parade? This is the only show so far that hasn’t pretty solidly stuck the landing.
