“It’s fine if you like David Cross more than me.”

As an aside, I am not sure The Last Jedi “backlash” really explains Solo’s poor performance. For all the whining online, The Last Jedi basically did comparably to The Empire Strikes Back (adjusting for inflation and such), and much better than Attack of the Clones. In that sense it was a pretty successful second-movie.

Right, and complaining that the movie couldn’t have been told in a single movie with a satisfying ending is not, I think, a convincing response to that problem. It’s like making a newspaper comic strip of the novel Ulysses, and responding to criticism by saying that translating the book to a comic strip was an…

I think Solo is a good illustration of why it is easier (albeit not infallible) to do a decent TV series than a movie in a context like this.

I think it’s silly to get to nit picky, like I’m not gonna get too bent out of shape about it BUT if we are strictly judging how good an artist/writer “adapted” something that previously existed to the big screen, you would think that exercise includes the beginning, middle, and end of the source material.

Working in-office does give some structure to the day, and helps me separate work from home, but man, the 'present' requirement really grates on me. And my job is very cyclical, so there are times when I have nothing to do. That's when I resort to cleaning cupboards, because I'm required to be there during certain…

i don’t think anyone actually thought it would happen, but can i just say i’m so so so happy no way home didn’t get a best picture nomination.

I had to go back to a dysfunctional office full of people I don't like. I won't be watching this show either. But it sounds amazing. 

Having watched that episode (and that one only, at least so far) I felt like, whatever he said his reasons were, he picked the biggest name of the three suspects as the murderer. This is a reliable indicator on police procedurals as well, so sound TV police work there, Lou. I mean Conan.

There was so much fan service going on here that I was half-expecting Cad Bane to be played by Walton Goggins, and he’d reveal Cobb’s past as part of the spice mining operation on Kessel. “Cobb, we dug spice together.”

She’s probably playing the Julia Carpenter version of Madame Web. She was the second Spider-Woman and, during the terrible Spider-Man storyline Grim Hunt, the original Madame Web transferred her powers when she was mortally wounded by Kraven’s daughter whose name I choose to forget out of spite for how terrible Grim…

There were so many cameos that even Boba Fett got one!

If they had some balls they could have kept Boba Fett as a ruthless killer and have him helm a Star Wars version of The Sopranos, or at the very least ‘Sons of Anarchy.’

Grogu steps forward, lifts his little robe, and urinates on both lightsaber and chainmail shirt. 

My feeling at the end of that scene is that it’s a different kind of test than presented, and Grogu chooses both, which is what Luke wanted. Obviously this is just headcanon, but it seems like they’re purposefully making it a misdirect there in having to choose. Who the hell knows though, maybe it’s just what it is on…

If every Disney+ show was presented under some catch-all banner like “Star Wars Adventure Presents” (or something less stupid than that) it would be more understandable that stories would circle back on each other in an anthology format. I claim to be tired of the tightly interwoven approach to Star Wars that doesn’t…
