Seconded. That was a cold splash of a reminder that this is still not the old AVC.

*I’m* still here? YOU showed up *this morning* with even *more* blather to say!

Not at all any specific point - only the implication/presumption from the presentation: that they were owned and operated by high-level royalty and were in notably gleaming condition in that “used” world. (Again - only from what the films show - NOT from EU or the PT or onlinepedias.)

The finale revealed the show itself to be merely a teaser for the appearance of two *major* characters shown in tiny tantalizing glimpses - so *without* a second season, the exercise will ultimately be pointless. Hollow stories, 2D characters. As I’d said, the production design was only *one* bobbled aspect. I had…

Fair criticism - it’s been left completely unexplained.

A great comparison point. Neither of these shows, whose entire raisons d’etre are as “much earlier period pieces” show any discernable difference between *periods*. It’s extremely lazy.

That’s strange - I don’t know what sewing circles you’re attending, but I have a number of friends and clients that have known him for decades or move in the same circles and I’ve never heard a cross word about him.

I don’t know - there’s nothing at all really implying “breaking up the band” from the statement - they only intermittently tour, after all. But it does seem like a needlessly firm disavowal from Black, which I think is driven by, yeah, the awful timing of the distasteful comment, even though Black knows it was an…

I don’t have, and don’t claim to have, any of that arcane EU baggage that you evidently do. My own EU runs from reading ‘Splinter of the <ind’s Eye’ in 1978 to giving ‘Shadows of the Empire’ a dissatisfied whirl. I’m picking up on the new live action shows, and then filling in the blanks. I’m not ‘colored’ in any way…

well-said, and goes a long way to explain the muddle.

That doesn’t negate my point at all - and, fine, here is the geekgasm about that small facet that I was trying to sidestep:

Agree to vastly disagree. Yes, the former.

“we may yet see the story of prehistoric Force users or a Rome-styled Empire show or perhaps a pre-industrialized Star War...”

I don’t think I’ve ever read an analysis of “The Wanderers” that actually *underplays* and soft-pedals the Dylan ending, which recasts and re-contextualizes *all* the diagetic music that preceded it and was the obvious end-point from which the entire story was engineered. Kaufman took an arena that Lucas had freshly…

I believe that dog is named for his inspiration: Ser Seymour

I hope Pauly Shore realizes that he obnoxiously harassed and cost legal and security expenses and plenty of anguish to this poor man during his final years of ill health.

And they both delivered said advice as sprightly, cheerful, comedic elves, too.

“His partner, a counterpart Jewish stereotype bagel named Sammy Bagel Junior...”

The most interesting take in this arena to me is from the folks with experience in the restaurant business, who’ve noted that odd late-night bang sessions are quite endemic to that world, and IRL Carm & Syd would likely have a fling and then nothing would come of it -- but television is still too immature for that…

Hey, *you’re* the one that took the name of that dress pattern for your avatar name, pal...
