Re: Duel of the Fates-I liked a lot of things about both Force Awakens and Last Jedi. But the fact that Disney launched this trilogy in this huge franchise without deciding beforehand on an overall direction for the entire thing is still incredible to this day. I cannot believe they messed this up.

Don’t take his cynical bait. He WANTS this.

I only vaguely remember this, but wasn't there talk at one point about doing a live action Star Wars show on ABC? It might have been when Lucas was still around though so maybe Disney didn't cancel that one.

Listen, we can have a reasonable -- or in some places very unreasonable -- conversation about how good The Last Jedi is or is not, but to call it the best Star Wars movie when Empire exists is just silly. 

Cancel canceling cancel culture!

“[In the past] you could joke about a bigot and have a laugh—that was hysterical. And it was about educating people on how ridiculous people were. And now we’re not allowed to do that.”

That’s right, you’re not. My friends and I did that all the time in the 90s, saying something racist to lampoon racism. But here’s the…

I think it’s a kind of hard sell in this particular case because Clone Wars very much did start as a kids show. Rebels too, but to a lesser extent. 

I’ve watched basically nothing with Ahsoka in it except those episodes of The Mandalorian and Boba Fett. I wonder if I’ll like it.

Did she manage to get that sequined microphone out of her ass?

I’m a Star Wars nerd and it’s a hard sell for me. I just didn’t keep up with the cartoons, and the more and more Filoni turns them into the backbone of the non-movie lore (or uses them to shore up flimsy film lore) the less I feel like part of the club.

My wife will watch all the live action stuff with me but not the animation and to be honest Star Wars Resistance was bad. 

“The meteoric and at least modestly unsettling rise of Oliver Anthony”

Lana Del Rey was writing AI songs before AI songwriting apps even existed.

It wouldn’t be AV Club if the writing wasn’t uninformative, incorrect, and poorly researched. Can’t wait until they fire the writers and rebrand as “AI Club.”

Well, to be (grudgingly) fair, it’s not clear if it’s chosen randomly out of the queue, or if you pick which up-to-10 you want from your queue.

Also, this article might be the most convincing evidence that the writers don’t write the headlines to their own posts because this:

They’re up to ten extra discs in addition to your normal plan. You still have to send them back. They’re not just giving them away.

If it’s going to be a minute, it might as well be a Hollywood Minute.

And everyone knows “Sophie” is the only reasonable name for a domicile.

I guess this is cool since it isn’t dreaded CRT.
