Hoo-boy. As much as that pod-racing episode-within-a-movie is a home theater demonstration delight, its duration has certainly not aged well.  Before I had kids I would regularly cycle it in when I just wanted to turn off and enjoy sensory overload.  Now I can barely sit through the whole thing.. it’s pee-break time.

I remember having the ESB Topps cards and there was one of just Vader standing in the Bespin carbonite area.. the card’s description said “The Awesome One.” The another card where Luke & Vader crossed blades as their fight began and the description said “The Confrontation.”

Agreed 100%. Once in a great while I get a sampler platter of that feeling. Like if I haven’t watched anything SW in a while and really cranked the hi-fi up for the opening chord. But back in ‘77 only being able to experience that in one place, a very loud cinema, meant never having the experience dumbed down by…

I have two.

I, of course, eagerly await this because McGregor’s Obi-wan is peak everything.

Did he, though? Young Anakin was a simple boy… some might say a cock-eyed optimist. “Yippee!” He would say. So I say nay. Nay, my friend.

Ceres? A planet? Maybe a space station in a couple hundred years. The Mormons could build a huge…behemoth… at Ceres to take them to a new world.

“65 million”

That’s a pretty broad - yet specific - generalization of what you believe Star Wars fans’ objections are. My own n of 1 showed that there’s more nuance to many fans’ subjective likes & dislikes than what are now cliches. I was only trying to highlight that many people may not like something, but may not all be for the…

For # 3 we already have it with the Inquisitors.

The Inquisitors in Rebels were pretty committed to their jobs. It looks like at least 2 from the teaser are the same characters, but I guess we’ll see if there’s another that goes anti-hero.

My problem with those colors is that it’s occurring on a desert planet where everything is dirty all the time.  If they washed those (with what water?) they’d be filthy in 30 minutes.  The cleanness of them doesn’t fit the desert planet aesthetic established, not their very existence - to me.

This is the #1 thing to me. It would be like going on a vacation the week after D-Day. There are months, if not years, of sh!t yet to hit the fan, probably complete with assassins attempting to exterminate the braintrust that helped orchestrate the Death Star’s destruction in the first place. If I’m a rando civvy the…

Yep, this.

Holy ‘cor, you’re right! All hail Muchi, rightful ruler of Mandalore!

So will Mando S3 launch before May 25 with enough time to complete its season, or after?  I don’t recall seeing any release date for it yet.

He’ll be the Vanther Soldier.

Hmm.. I think that the Battle Droid may now be the rightful ruler of Mandalore!

Yeah during this episode, when it became obvious one or more of the neutral bosses was going to turn heel, I got a sense of Game of Thrones from the whole thing, with the townsfolk of different areas ambushing Fett’s numerous armies. Then I thought .. wow they could have done this so much better.

Yeah I agree that his age should have been catching up with him by BOBF, but given all of his amazing exploits throughout Clone Wars and Rebels, I thought he would have gone out with a bit more flair.
