Dracula really is an an enjoyable read. 

I think the problem is deeper than that. I just think the basic success of the Mandalorian, both in terms of quality and popularity, pretty much obviated any need for a Boba Fett series. They successfully made a series about a guy who looked like Boba Fett but cooler, is actually a Madalorian, and is more interesting…

Right? I thought the entire point of the original trilogy was that the Jedi were wrong to preach about the evils of attachment, because Anakin’s attachment to his children was actually what brought him back from the dark side and defeated the Sith. And the prequels demonstrated that if the Jedi had just let Anakin…

The first time Han and Leia pop by for the weekend, Grogu is going to give his master such a withering little look.

“I know what this looks like, my padawan, but this...this is clearly a work meeting.”

I thought it parsed. When I see Ben Kenobi put the helmet on Luke and have him get repeatedly zapped by the remote in the original movie, I think “initial training/lesson.” In this one, I think “teaching a young padawan through the administration of a series of painful shocks doesn’t seem like an especially humane…

It is so utterly weird that it is Ahsoka Tano, of all the characters in Star Wars history, who is espousing this nonsense also.

Grogu steps forward, lifts his little robe, and urinates on both lightsaber and chainmail shirt. 

My feeling at the end of that scene is that it’s a different kind of test than presented, and Grogu chooses both, which is what Luke wanted. Obviously this is just headcanon, but it seems like they’re purposefully making it a misdirect there in having to choose. Who the hell knows though, maybe it’s just what it is on…

All of the above!  (Well, I don’t share your enthusiasm for the few moments that were Fett-centric.)  What a stunning error to have Luke going down the same doomed path as the Jedi of old.  Did he learn nothing?  He saved Vader specifically by FORMING an attachment, not by abandoning one.  What the fuck?

It’s funny as well that we should get one of the episode’s many new and returning cameos from Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson), who spends most of her screen time warning against the dangers of attachment. For all of the Jedi philosophizing the show indulges in, none of that seems to exist beyond textural window…

One thing I think is worth pointing out is the opening “news reel” voice over by Tom Kane.

Tom Kane has been part of Star Wars for many years, voicing not only Yoda in anything that didn’t have Frank Oz, but as the narrator to every Clone Wars episode, Admiral Yularen, and many others. He’s been voicing SW video game…

Making Crosshair the antagonist from jump was fucking brilliant.

Watch the last season of Clone Wars.

It was...okay. It played out like a mid season arc for Clone Wars.

I look forward to the inevitable statement from Disney flatly denying that Omega could possibly be considered the franchise’s first transgender character.

In a grievous miscalculation, Disney/Marvel has cast Chris Evans as the new Black Panther.

I literally smile every time I’m reminded of the Four Seasons Total Landscaping debacle. Thank you for bringing it up again. Long live Four Seasons.

i remember going to a candlelight vigil to protest the iraq war and stood next to a couple who complained and then snarked - at length - that the candles we were given weren’t scented.

Reading these comments, I guess a lot of people these days see “unfettered outrage” where I see “relentless, bemused dunking on aging Gen-Xers.” I like Sedaris’s writing, but there’s barely a joke here, and it’s limply punching down from a place of high status.

It seems like he was saying we need white people to help defeat white supremacy, this is absolutely true, but his transition to black supremacy, was...not the best.
