After feeling a little pummeled by RoS’ aggressive pacing

Plus, it’s a return to the original Star Wars. Contrary to what people might think after watching George Lucas defend the prequels, he always kind of knew he sucked at writing. And such, he did a great deal of second-guessing a lot of the little, human moments that made Star Wars feel so lived-in from the start.

The fact that more time passes in the first episode of the mandalorian (plot wise) than all three of the sequel trilogy is unforgivable. All 3 movies are essentially real-time when they could have been given time to just breathe, pace the story out, and make it feel the stakes more. When one of the first plot points…

You know what I loved the most about that scene? The subtle implication that stormtroopers don’t actually have lousy aim, but are simply limited by crappy equipment issued by a faceless bureaucracy and built in bulk by the lowest-bidder. Like, you know, an actual military.

After feeling a little pummeled by RoS’ aggressive pacing, having an extended scene in the Mandalorian where two insouciant scout troopers just slouch and fuck around for an extended scene was a balm.

I’ve worked in tech for the last two decades, and let me tell you, your anecdotal experience may be true for your workplace (and if so, what a sad workplace it must be), but is not even remotely true across the board.

How does a a billion dollar company with decades of experience with their own community screw up this hard?

You must be really stupid because you didn’t read the article...No shit you don’t know enough, because previous event should have shown you how it should be done, but your dumb ass doesn’t understand how to learn from past events, if this shit is your type of quality of event planning, then you’re a fucking amateur.

You can’t be serious. Stop enabling them. Stop accepting excuses. They had plenty of time and preparation to choose venues built for competition. And for streaming the competition. They had plenty of time to plan out the logistics of the event. To make sure that the graphics for player names were accurate.

The quality of matches wasn’t the issue. There’s no excuse for how this tournament was run. Especially when you can just go look how Bandai Namco ran the TWT last weekend. Shouts to the members of the community that stepped up, but Capcom makes too much money to run their biggest event this poorly. 

The rest is nbd.

How does a a billion dollar company with decades of experience with their own community screw up this hard? How do they not know how to pick/set up a broadcast venue or hire competent staff?

That’s what this scene is for.

surreal and magical, neither of those being flavors we’ve had in the MCU

There’s a problem, though. Baby Yoda is a baby. He’s not wise to the ways of the world. So Palpatine might turn him to the Dark Side of The Force. Then, given how Palpatine changed, Baby Yoda might look something like this:

No burnout on my end. I can’t say every Marvel flick is a zinger, but I’d rather watch a mediocre Marvel superhero movie than a mediocre movie without Marvel superheroes.

You do realize YouTube TV doesn’t interact with YouTube regular, right? True, you can log-in with the same account, but you can sign up for and watch YouTube TV without ever watching a single regular YouTube video. Your chances of becoming a Nazi watching YouTubeTV are the exact same as if you watched HuluTV or Sling…

I still can’t imagine the microbiotic world thing having been any good, but you’re spot on about the roles Lucas should’ve occupied and his major weaknesses. Some of the worst dialogue I’ve ever read and the perversely amazing ability to turn the likes of Natalie Portman and Ewan MacGregor into planks of wood.

So … who actually created Star Wars ? I mean, I’ve seen the prequels and just read this article, and I can’t wrap my head around the idea that the same guy was behind Star Wars , and also had anything to do with anything after Return of the Jedi.

GL: they’re like mystical Sea Monkeys with little tridents and coral crowns and there’s good ones and bad ones who are battling it out in Obi Wan’s lower intestines and it mirrors the larger battle of the light and dark side in the macro-world. Poetry and all. We had eleven scripts finished and Warwick Davis was…
