How fucking dare you leave Tropic Thunder out of 2008?

The original selling point for Resistance was that it was about a bunch of starfighter racers, and the main character would be doing some spy stuff on the side/in the background. Then in the show there’s like 3 episodes total where the racing is anything remotely relevant to the plot. And the spy, the New Republic’s…

That’s a great point. While I have many, many issues with “The Mandalorian”, at least it was totally accessible and very, very easy to digest. You didn’t need to know anything about the lore beyond the broad strokes.  But since they, they keep generating content for smaller and smaller swaths of the audience while…

Exactly.  The franchise under F&F continues to crawl further and further up its own ass and they can hardly blame the general public for not wanting to go spelunking. 

Exactly.  It’s more franchise navel-gazing from Filoni & Favreau.  They have literally no idea what to do with the franchise.  Thank god they’re not the only creators working on it. 

Y’know who really had it figured out? Tom Anderson, of MySpace. He popularized something, cashed out, fucked off, and is enjoying a life of photography and living off of an enormous sum of money.

Our “tear hair out in screaming madness” moment came about two thirds of the way through the BOBF episode that was actually a Mandalorian episode, when we realized that we probably weren’t going to be seeing Boba Fett in this Boba Fett show. In retrospect we understand the production realities that ultimately led to…

Ah yes, the show that had me and my family screaming “WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING”

It’s brought to you by the folks behind the Book of Boba Fett, so you know it’ll be great.

the supposed “fans”

Who wrote this list, a 20 year old who grew up on Marvel movies?

My only issue with all these shows and the characters in them is there is large group of Star Wars fans that only watch the live action stuff. I am cool with using these characters but the shows need to make me care about them from their actions and experiences in the current show and not assume I watched 100 episodes…

The “good reason” for Ahsoka to exist should be that it’s a well-told story made by competent professionals. How it ties into the increasingly stupid lore of Star Wars is a distant second (or maybe third, or fourth).

Trying to term “Rocky Horror Picture Show” as a summer 1975 movie is stretching that concept further than Frank N. Furter’s leather panties.

I’m a Star Wars nerd and it’s a hard sell for me. I just didn’t keep up with the cartoons, and the more and more Filoni turns them into the backbone of the non-movie lore (or uses them to shore up flimsy film lore) the less I feel like part of the club.

So unlike many recent Star Wars projects which put unnecessary focus on fan-favorite characters and franchise loose-end-tying, Ahsoka will put necessary focus on fan-favorite characters and franchise loose-end-tying. Got it!

My wife will watch all the live action stuff with me but not the animation and to be honest Star Wars Resistance was bad. 

Forgetting about There’s Something About Mary, Mulan, The Mask of Zorro, and Blade, really hurt your 1998 case. However you feel about Armageddon, it WAS popular, and I’ve found Deep Impact has aged nicely as one of the better disaster movies in the genre. There was also a delightful Parent Trap remake that is a…

When you describe it that way, yes. I wasn’t super interested before, but knowing that’s even more inside baseball makes it even less appealing to me.
