Well, at least the animation looks like shit.

Quick, honey mustard!

I’m sorry .... How can Palpatine NOT be #1?

They spent four full hours of TV chasing around a map ball, only to reveal at the very end of the fifth hour that the map ball was unnecessary because they could just hitch a ride with space whales.

I’m familiar with all of this stuff and this is the first episode that isn’t a complete wet fart for me. Then again, I think Clone Wars is the inferior Clone Wars by far (hallowed be thy Tartakovsky) and did way too much to preemptively “redeem” Anakin before he becomes a villain... again... because he was already a…

Agreed. I actually fell asleep during the flashbacks and didn’t even bother to go back and watch the bits I missed. I could tell from the running length of the episode we were going to get a lengthy dream sequence (or equivalent) where Ahsoka learns an “important lesson” but I’m pretty sure the only reason why we got…

He’s supposed to be hypercompetent and he was in some wildly overrated books 30 years ago. I liked the character on Rebels well enough, but, yeah, I don’t need the whole galaxy to revolve around him or anything.

Yes, it is. She’s sleepwalking through the show. 

The show really doesn’t have a point other than to set up Thrawn for future projects.

I think it’s perfectly valid not to enjoy this show, even if you are a Star Wars fan. I’ve seen and enjoyed Clone Wars and Rebels, I was hyped for this show, but man it is boooooorrrrrring. Every episode I find myself asking “when are we going to get to the fireworks factory??” How long are we gonna hang around this…

It sounds like the point of the season is to produce a season-long prelude to Thrawn’s return to the galaxy, which will then play out over the next season, Mando S4, and the Filoni movie.

It’s just me, but that whole space whale (Purgill) thing went on WAAAAAAY to long. JFC, it brought whatever momentum the show had to that point to a grinding halt. I know it was necessary, but... yeah, wow, I was working at the same time and looked up from my laptop and realized it was still going on.

What does Ahsoka learn, exactly? That she “wants to live?” That’s not new information for her or her audience. She always wanted to live.

“Uncannily”? They just both had beards, there was very little actual resemblance.

“Forward momentum?”  The first four episodes could have been compressed into one.  The pacing on the show is fairly dreadful.

I’ve noticed a certain strain of SW fan get super defensive when you deign to criticize what they love. 

An entertaining episode, but, yeah, the entire point of the flashbacks is muddy as hell.

A Pet Sematary prequel should just be a movie about pets that are still alive.

Yeah, no shit. Tell that to Cereal Killer. I’m just showing that he did, in fact, have something to do with any of that.

Roughly 13 months after Warner Bros. Discovery canceled the near-complete, $90 million Batgirl movie for a tax write-down, the decision remains baffling. Sure, Warners was trying to recoup some of the $2.1 billion it lost last year, but the decision to ax Batgirl and keep titles like Black Adam, Shazam: Fury Of The…
