Everybody looks bad here. Both sides of the tweets, the person writing it up for AVClub, and me for commenting on it.

Whether that’s permanent or not, Doja’s comfortability inching away from pop stardom

The only “shocking” thing about the ending is that io9 would call it “shocking” in a desperate bait for a few more clicks. Corporation whose franchises are flailing teases mixture of franchises. Yawn.

I’m ok with this, Lucas squandered his opportunity for whatever reason (probably the toy deal) to give the world Prime Luke in those 16 years between OT and PT. We got a couple Ewok TV movies instead.

The truly wild thing about Filoni’s characters to me is that most of them are the ‘original characters’, just visually d…

“pro-gaslighting”

“What the historians can confirm is that it is more likely that Cleopatra looked like Adele [James] than Elizabeth Taylor ever did.”

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.
