I used the wrong term with “teaser.” I was actually picturing more of an Ahsoka “supercut.” Now that I think more about of the mechanics of that - and your animated-to-live action point, particularly - I think it’s more likely that a superfan will do that than D+/Filoni/et al.

“You’re confusing two totally different categories. Ahsoka is a sequel to Clone Wars and Rebels. It’s not an adaptation of those stories, though it sounds like it might have some live action reinterpretations of scenes from those shows.”

“It’s the studio’s problem if a sizable portion of the viewers can’t follow the story because they didn’t have the time or energy to watch a bunch of cartoons from mostly a decade or more in the past.”

Controversial thought: Is it possible that Ashley Eckstein is saying this because she wants it to be true because she wants more people to experience her work?

On the one hand: I’ve watched it all, so I’m good. I’m re-watching Rebels right now so that I’ll be “fresh.” But on the other hand, I don’t feel like I had to…

Okay. Thrawn thumbs up.

Thank you, hallelujah, and amen.

If a movie is based on a book, the people who haven’t read the book ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE the same experience as those who have, for better and for worse. This is like that, except the source material is available in the same medium and the same location as the new thing. Complaining…

I’m guessing there will be some sort of extended teaser... I’m certain there will be a bunch of “watch this before Ahsoka” listicles... And I’m sure the show itself will be digestible without having seen it. Will the experience be equally rewarding for all parties involved? Not likely. If you’re not invested in Clone…

“There are lots of people who haven’t seen the animated shows, and a lot of people who would never watch animation (seriously, it’s an issue for a lot of older viewers), and expecting them to watch dozens of hours of programming in order to understand an eight-episode miniseries is a bit of a stretch.”

Now we’re just getting silly.

You’re hand-waving “time” and “perspective” as though he’s manipulating those things the exact same way in the films you outlined. And you’re reducing his films to writing and directing as though those are the only elements that go into films. If Christopher Nolan isn’t artistically…

Maybe your friends are extreme normies.

Or it was a dumb comment by someone that couldn’t get cast in an elementary school play, and you didn’t need to weigh in caping for it. Potato, potahto.

This is bad advice. Quitters never win and winners never quit. The best path through a patchy beard is to grow the shit out of a patchy beard, be diligent with a skin care routine, and don’t trim it yourself...

That was fucking beautiful. And now I miss California even more!

I don’t think I’m being defensive because I don’t think I’m Christopher Nolan. I’m not a Nolan family member. I don’t get paid when he gets paid. I’m not white, so I at least partially stand out from your idea of his stereotypical audience in a pretty major way (I’ll cop to male and nerdy.) But let’s leave me out of…

Sweet Jesus!!!

Sorry to everyone feeling some type of way about this, but Ubisoft gave us pirate ships, a thunderdome/gladiatorial combat arena, and freaking chariot races. I’m perfectly fine with them bragging about how big it is.

Thank you! How do you tell us you don’t know anything about basketball without telling us you don’t know anything about basketball? Pretend that these dudes, in their primes, would’ve made the playoffs. (I would have also accepted “Pretend Ben Simmons still plays meaningful defense.”)

A desire to see Nolan get weirder undersells how weird Nolan already is.

“All of Nolan themes are extremely stereotypically male and nerdy: crime drama, heist film, revenge, hard sci-fi, WWII, Batman, etc. Which contribute to the lassitude I feel toward his work lately.”

Two issues:

1) You’re criticizing a male nerd for choosing to make films based upon “themes” (some of these aren’t really…

Coincidentally, I just watched this last weekend, so the movie and your original review are both quite fresh in my mind. I was... surprised by your reaction to it then, I’m less surprised by your re-evaluation now. And I’m thrilled that I’m going to get to see it again in a theater next week. …
