Slightly off-topic but given that 1: I have had a massive crush on Ms Yeoh for the last 25 years, ever since seeing her in Supercop and Tomorrow Never Dies and 2: I have been a massive formula one fan for even longer, I was legit gobsmacked to learn only just recently that she’s been in a long-term relationship with…

*10 x Oscar nominated, multiple international award winning and global smash hit ‘Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon’ - sure she may have been sharing the top billing with Chow Yun Fat but it was on an equal footing - she’d already been a Bond girl at that stage.

“By definition”

Kate Winslet is not a Kiwi -she’s English, born and bred- but if she were from the Land of the Long White Cloud she would pronounce it “fush and chups”

I wonder what would have happened to pop music history if Mama Cass and Karen Carpenter had just shared that sandwich? 

Can concur.

His prison factory was just constructing nodes for the laser dish. That’s a late-stage part of the project. Presumably the rest had been constructed elsewhere and over the preceding years.

Fair enough then. 

I still disagree. Even if you had no knowledge of Star Wars whatsoever, the sight of this giant mysterious machine at the very least is going to be intriguing and it *will* be addressed again in season 2 as season 2 is supposed to finish up around the start of Rogue One. After all, we’re following the story of how…

I think it makes total sense that it’s tied to Andor’s time in prison. It’s not a million-to-one coincidence that he happens to be building a small part it. I think everyone who’ve been jailed is...

You can also look at it as the Chekov’s Gun in Andor’s own life story.

I have to disagree there. If it was a cut to Tatooine or any member of the extended Skywalker family, I’d be in total agreement, but the Death Star is still massively important.

Good lord no. She’s the best part of the show! (and there’s a lot of competition for that title)

And Keanu was a big draw. He became a household name in the early 90's - and a name that became a running gag amongst British comedians in at the time who loved to make jokes about the supposed trend of single mums in rough, working-class housing estates all naming their boys ‘Keanu’.

Hell, no! Samuel L Jackson had been a jobbing actor for 20 years at that point. His biggest roles to date had been a small background part in Jurassic Park and playing the Danny Glover part in the great but not exactly massively successful, National Lampoon’s Loaded Weapon. He was in no way a household name.

Uma…

Samuel L Jackson and Uma Thurman.

Hemsworth played James Hunt perfectly in ‘Rush’ and at no point did I ever mistake him for the God of Thunder. 

Keanu Reeves was A-List for sure back in the early 90’s. Point Break and Speed were absolutely huge hits and while Bram Stoker’s Dracula was a bit of a dud critically it was still a massively hyped movie and he was cast in one of the lead roles precisely because he was hot property at the time. 

Chris Hemsworth.

I recall an interview with Chris Rock where was having much the same attitude - hurt at what was said but then empathy because hecklers are the worst
