It sounds like the point of the season is to produce a season-long prelude to Thrawn’s return to the galaxy, which will then play out over the next season, Mando S4, and the Filoni movie.

What does Ahsoka learn, exactly? That she “wants to live?” That’s not new information for her or her audience. She always wanted to live.

I haven’t either, but it must *not* be common knowledge; even if Luke was hidden away on Tatooine and never overheard anything, he was with the rebels long enough that someone would have said “oh, shit you’re Vader’s kid” the moment he said his dad Anakin was a famous pilot.

Reminds me of bars with “Free Beer During Happy Hour”, but then there’s one free beer tap, so you either wait twenty minutes for a ten ounce beer, or you just pay if you have any money.

Oh absolutely. Especially since McDonalds has been consistently phasing out the interaction with the cashier in favor of ordering through kiosks. So they’ll put three kiosks in front and no employees, then the patron will have to stand awkwardly at the counter for a stretch of time, waiting to be noticed by some…

I don’t believe them.

iPhone 11 here. Feel the same way. Nothing in the past 4 years has tempted me to upgrade. I’m sure the cameras are better, that’s always their big seller, but the camera is already pretty damn good on my 4 year old phone.

Same here.  I have no idea what they could improve on it enough to make me want to spend more money.

i still have a replacement 13 mini and am only upgrading because the switch to USB-C will remove literally half of the cords from my life

Major League Eating

that final scene is the first time I’ve ever felt like anyone who hasn’t seen the show would be at a serious disadvantage, and I’m sure the next episode will provide the basics for them.

Facepalm

He’s a vat grown clone of Ezra, that has been altered with Sith alchemy to be faster, stronger, more force-sensitive, and tougher than his unwilling genetic progenitor.  In fact in all ways, he’s Better Than Ezra.

Phantom Menace: Sorry, heroes, we’d love to help with your urgent problem, but we’re politicians and bureaucracy just gets in the way. Oops.

Rogue One: Sorry, heroes, we’d love to help with your urgent problem, but we’re politicians and bureaucracy just gets in the way. Oops.

The Force Awakens: Sorry,…

I’m not even being sarcastic when I say that I am shocked that people have realized that paying more money for cold, soggy food is a bad idea. I would have thought the combination of laziness and lack of taste would have continued to win out.

Big ol’ yep. A lot of this Filoni stuff just feels like franchise maintenance, trying to make the OT, prequels, and cartoons into a single, cohesive blob of content. It’s unexciting if you’re more interested in SW as entertainment than as a brand.

The headline is clickbait. The actual content is “Longtime editor Tom Brevoort is moving from the Avengers to the X-Men.” That’s it.

Did it seem like this article forgot to actually address the content of its headline? I mean, more than the vague notion that there will be some form of connection between the new run and potential movies?
