I love that Mayfeld’s disdain for Hess only grew more and more intense as he realized, “This guy doesn’t remember me and doesn’t give a fuck about me or the 10,000 people we lost.” Burr was legitimately great in that scene. 

I really go back and forth on these a lot. I rewatched both last year around this time and I was expecting to enjoy AOTC more, and I think I still did. I don’t agree that TPM is the abysmal piece of garbage that a lot of people think it is, but the first 1/3rd of TPM, god, is just SO boring and feels like there are no…

I thought the same thing about the microphone.

I’m assuming we’ll have a few scenes of Vader in his meditation chamber without his helmet looking all fucked-up like Christiansen after the battle with Obi-Wan in ROTS. Who WANTS to look at that hideous being? Not me, but that would be the only time it would make sense to have his “normal” voice.

Well, that’s one of the best scenes in cinema history, IMO, so kind of a high bar to top 

I was waiting for Mando to order 3 drinks using the wrong hand gesture that gave him away as a Mandalorian and not an Imperial fighter

The Sean Connery in The Name Of The Rose monk-type look 

Now I really want to see a full-on Cheers-style sitcom set in a Star Wars cantina, and I need Ted Danson and Kelsey Grammar to be a part of it 

“Welcome, Master Kenobi. The secret Jedi/Sith that we’re not supposed to talk about, let me guess, he sent you here to this secret planet where we’re secretly building a secret clone army?”

“That’s... why I’m here!”

McGregor’s Obi Wan in TPM is weird and has no presence whatsoever. In AOTC he has a strong presence, but you can tell he hates the fact that he’s acting against tennis balls and not actual people. He’s so much better in ROTS when he gets to play off Anakin for most of the movie. 

I enjoy the Obi Wan quest of going to a 1950s diner and looking for evidence of the clone army. It feels like a space film noir and could’ve made for a fun movie if the rest of the film had that same kind of tone. Instead we get “I don’t like sand” and all that other BS. 

Also, it’s not like Mando had some well-groomed mustache. He looks like type of guy whose facial hair grows unevenly, so the mustache hair comes in thicker and quicker, while the beard hair is thinner and takes longer to fill out. He wasn’t completely clean-shaven aside from the mustache, he had stubble all over his…

I guess I just always assumed he was Irish due to his name. I remember he played the villain in the horrible John Cena action movie, 12 Rounds, and if I recall correctly, his character was Irish in that one. Either way, I think his best accent work was definitely as Carcetti in The Wire. In season 3 you can almost…

YES. And the blue waves that were rising around him really made me think of the towers in Breath of the Wild when you unlock them. 

And you, my love, won’t you take my hand

“I think that the problem may have been that there was a Jedi monument on the hill that was in danger of being crushed by Grogu. That tended to understate the hugeness of the object.” - Mando St. Hubbins

I came to love her even more after watching the behind the scenes series about the first season of The Mandalorian. She seemed so charming and likeable and I loved her friendship with Carl Weathers. But then I saw her Twitter :(

To be fair, that loyal minion, Victor, was kind of an asshole. 

Esposito’s smile always makes me think of his detective in The Usual Suspects when he gets kind of a creepy smile on his face when the burned guy starts yelling about Kaiser Soze. 

Finn was great in The Last Jedi too. But after the way Rise of Skywalker unfolder, I kind of think it would have been better if they’d just let Finn sacrifice himself on the salt planet near the end of The Last Jedi.
