The guy making Andor isn’t an idiot slavishly devoted to fan service, like the other creators. 

can we make “nothing but gandalfs” happen? brilliant summation. i mean, in the past this site started the “manic pixie dreamgirl” trope

It’s not just Disney, the “Jedi bad, actually” concept has pretty much been the defining viewpoint on the Jedi Order for most of the franchise’s lifespan at this point. A little introspection is welcome in any long-running series, but this has been like the one idea for what to do with the Jedi since it was first…

My problem isn’t so much overexposure to the Jedi, but overexposure to this specific vision of the Jedi.

Why does Disney hate the Jedi order so much?  I miss bad guys being bad guys and good guys being good guys sometimes. 

You’re one of those “Wild Honey Pie” sickos, aren't you?

Speaking only for myself, I’d say it was a pretty terrible television show. A bold, inconsistent, incoherent mess that only coalesced in the brilliant work that it was in the final moments of the final episode. As it aired, and as I became more and more frustrated with the jarring tonal shifts, brutal nihilism, and…

I’m glad the Mandalore storyline wrapped in one season because if these live action shows are going to act as extended codas for the cartoons, I think I’m out.

That is kind of what made it aimless for me-everyone kind of messed around for a while, and then reclaimed Mandalore in 15 minutes after years of hand wringing about it.

My money's on three jawas standing on each other's shoulders.

Esposito’s take on Gideon was beyond cartoonish. He might as well be Snidely Whiplash at this point.

Filoni’s treating himself to a new cowboy hat after coming up with the inevitable “Ahsoka did that, too!” ending to How Snoke Got That Big Face Scar: The Movie.

This show went from narratively confounding to straight up Scooby Doo in less than 12 parsecs.

I really don’t understand how this show totally returns to form and gives us and episode like this and it gets a C+ lol. It does a great job of tying together this season, one that I’ll maintain is so incredibly lopsided because they had to fold in what would’ve been Rangers of the New Republic plot points.

The Roaring Jenties!

I’m taking a very similar pace with Guns, Germs and Steel. 15 years in and only 80% to go!

It sure is a spectacle, but a hollow one. My eyes were awed but my brain was sleeping, and so was my heart. I had so little emotional connection to anything happening on the screen, and while the pace is slow I felt it very rushed with how much had been left unexplained or left out altogether.
