Regardless of feelings about the plot machinations, the way that closing scene played out with Picard’s acceptance of the situation, was perfectly done. No boring confessions, no ridiculous exposition, just ‘he’s my son’.

1.  Probably because I’m easily amused, but all the Warwick Davis as Petty Diva stuff made me laugh a lot. 2.  The fact that all the Skellin stuff looks significantly more interesting and world building than what was supposed to be an iconic location of Kessel in Solo is frighteningly embarrassing. 

General timelines are all screwed up for me as well, though it may just be me. But I don’t have a good sense at all of when everything happens in Phase 4 in relation to each other.  Nobody makes even a passing reference to giant half-baked Celestials sticking out of the ocean, let alone investigating it.…

I think what I like best about the trailer...is that it’s not really very revealing at all about what’s going on for a full season. Very generic.

“He’s eternal, bitch!”

Julian Glover features on this episode, and over on The Bad Batch, we get an absolutely direct Last Crusade reference.  Things are all Indy all the time at the Disney/Lucasfilm connection.

Very nice, thanks for that!

“This is the show. It’s light, weird, and funny, and isn’t apologizing for any of it.”

The music, the Kit-as-Marion Ravenwood, the return of the Brownies...this IS Willow.  A goofy, charming, sometimes dumb little thing, and I kinda love it.

I’m stupidly pleased by this.  I always looked forward to the Christmas Specials.  Even when they ended up being kind of unremarkable, they’re fun, and there are some I try to revisit every years around this time.  

I’m a little underwhelmed and I can’t really put my finger on exactly why.  I guess it’s a little sterile?  I dunno, video game trailers are a tough nut to crack anyway, but it’s not really grabbing me.

The whole split up of the group scene was contrived to the point of distraction. It made no sense, flimsy banter aside.  

I hadn’t bought a Star Wars figure in years, but Hasbro got my money for B2.

I’ve gone from “Ugh, is this show really a good idea?” to “ONLY TWO SEASONS?!?!?!  :(

Rob, thank you for all these recaps.  I haven’t watched in several years, but these have been probably much more fun anyway.

I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

I’ll be happy if it’s actually “full of real emotion”.  Because of all the problems of Crystal Skull, that was the biggest. There really felt like no stakes whatsoever through the whole thing. 

I’m 50 years old and I will watch the Fraggle Rock Holiday special and enjoy it heartily and I do not care what anyone thinks.

Less than 30 days = tease the week of the 12/12, trailer attached to Avatar.

I was kind of blown away by some of the animation/art design.  Some truly beautiful stuff in there.
