I was addressing the royal y’all (Marvel, you bastards!)... or maybe I’m lazy and wasn’t paying attention. Point taken. I erred on the side of not shooting the messenger. I give less of a fudge than I'm portraying myself as giving. I'll still see the movie! 

Maaaan, eff da multiverse. Your movies are too busy, visually, have too many characters, and too much plot. And now I’m supposed to keep track of a multiverse at every turn?

“Ever since Kang made his first appearance in the pages of Fantastic Four #19 back in 1963, Marvel fans have been eager to see the character in live-action form”

Prove it with a single account of a single fan expressing eagerness to see a live-action Kang from say, 1963 to 2010

Your loss.

What story did you think the trilogy was trying to tell? Force Awakens was a retelling of A New Hope. Where was that story headed???

They wanted “Empire Strikes Back, but different, but the same.” They wanted Rey to be Luke, they wanted Luke to be Yoda, they wanted Snoke to be Palpatine; they wanted Rey to cut short her training so she could rush off to save her friends, etc...but emphatically not in the way that Johnson gave them essentially that.

Watch Andor. 

It’s a movie series for children”

Jack Nicklaus was fucking sex creep???

Maybe he was tired of Jack Nichols’ sloppy seconds.

I’d actually say that - at least so far - on a whole the story of Andor is looking to be a lot more important to the mythos/world of Star Wars than almost any other recent TV show/spin-off. Obi-Wan’s grand contribution was ret-conning a single line from RotJ, while Andor is basically showing the entire conception of

My personal favorite line, from the ISB Meeting:

And we’re only now into the second half. Honestly the most I’ve been excited about a SW adventure since I was a kid.

I don’t know your definition of ‘dark’ sci-fi, but if you’re leaning in the ‘gritty’ Blade Runner direction, Andor is in fact not that, and why I feel it’s refreshing not just for Star Wars but the current cyberpunk-obsessed grimdark sci-fi landscape in general. Andor is an ‘adult’ ‘mature’ show insofar as it...

George Lucas has always said that Star Wars was a fairy tale for children. That certainly tracked with the prequels, particularly Phantom Menace. The Abrams sequels were Star Wars for adults in arrested development.

I’ve said before that I’m just astonished with how much I love this series, which I would have never expected when first seeing the Andor name up on Lucasfilm’s Big, Big Wall-O-Projects planned out for the next 34 years.

I was completely against this show when it was announced. I even said “who asked for this show?!” to express my distaste.

Man, I’ve been reading that the views on this show are terrible and that’s really, really depressing. I think this is the best written Star Wars anything. That scene with Syril and his toxic mother was so well written and so well acted you could have set it in a NYC apartment and it would have still worked. I hope

I have no idea what’s the story here (despite the article going on about how everyone’s sick of reading about this woman).
