I'm not in the biz so I may not know how this works but I'm genuinely shocked that Disney doesn't have literal teams of people whose entire job it is to do this kind of research. And if they already do, apparently they're not very effective. 

“I am disappointed that it didn’t resolve the story of Kelleran Beq, so we don’t still don’t really know how Grogu survived Order 66.”

Not with that attitude.

Usually it’s the lede that gets dropped, not the Lede doing the dropping.

Good luck with whatever’s next, Gabrielle. Just know that whatever shit we gave you in the comments was really meant for the fucktard business douches who run the place.

Good point. I accept this explanation. 

I’m not sure it was ever referred to again

While I’m not a hater (and am excited for Ahsoka) this is a Thrawn who lost his TIE Defender prototype because the two stormtroopers guarding it abandoned their post to chase a cat. While yelling it. Yes Rebels is a kids show, but while I love much of Dave Filoni’s output he cuts a lot of narrative corners. I hope the…

What matters at this point is that Lucasfilm took the temperature of the fanbase and decided that what people need isn’t some new concept we’ve never thought of before, it’s more Rey, more Jedi, and more Thrawn.

So far, live-action Ashoska (which, in fairness, has been limited only to a couple of scenes) is a complete bore.  I like the character well enough (though I’m a million miles away from the legions of super fans that she has), but I’ve been completely unimpressed by her journey to live action and don’t really need to…

I maintain Solo is the best script of the modern Star Wars movies and the most fun to watch. It’s a goofy heist movie starring an entire cast of lovable scoundrels. Had Disney not tried to compete with Infinity War from its rival studio (checks notes) er, Disney (throws notes into the air because oh my god who does…

those dudes from The Outfield are rolling in dough.

So you know how every time you turn on the radio or are in a store or something and a song comes on and you’re like, “Oh, no, not this shit again?” Well, that’s why Chris DeBurgh can buy himself a Ferrari made of cocaine every single week. 

They’re on a fleek. Right?

it’s an epidemic across all online (and probably print) writing. i fucking hate it.

“Welp, that’s the exact opposite of what I wanted from this season.”

I continue to feel like this embrace of the Way or w/e will not be the end result, if only because it would be a really weird unsatisfying narrative track for Filoni to spend all of Clone Wars and Rebels making it pretty clear Death Watch’s religious extremism is bad and then saying “well they were right in the end!”

I’d go even further and say why does it have to be more than one movie?

This is a pretty good comment but I think we can trim it down.

The Grogu situation really is feeling more and more like they’ve painted themselves into a corner with no plan on how to get out, so they’re just passing time in hopes that somebody thinks of something at some point along the way.

Getting Grogu to Luke was a natural off-ramp, either to pivot the show into a different…
