I'm sorry but if this is what you consider well-written.. Welll, I suppose someone who is used to dog chow and then gets a can of soup might think it's better.
The whole thing was WAY TOO EASY.
If it takes Thrawn and friends, what. about two micro seconds to see that the "patsy" that Kallus set up is as phony as a $3…

A lot of talk about emotions being kicked around this episode. Emotions are like the Dark Side. As storytelling tools, they are quick, easy, and seductive. Portraying emotions in the proper way, with proper balance is the very heart of character driven storytelling.
Their downside is that they come with a "story debt."

And this week on SWR (Star Wars Retreads) we bring you "Klik-Klak lays an egg."
We return to Everyone's favorite planet, Geo-nonsense to Resurrect yet another character from the better-written, more sensible days of "The Clone Wars."
Saw (who still cannot see, because the years since TCW have given him no insight…

That would be an interesting change in the usual dynamics of TV. I think it's a good idea, but I also see some danger in it. Because you now have an open ended number of episodes, your story can begin to drift and sort of "meander" all over the place. One upper limit for most shows used to be the number of shows…

There's far more to it than that. When a network airs a show, they order a set number of episodes from the Producers of the show. After that Number is produced, and even while it is "on the air" the network watches the show and then Ratings tell the network if the show is popular and profitable enough (In terms of…

It's called "We have all the money in the bank, but we don't want to spend any of it." You see the objective" chez "Darth Mickey's Place" is to take in all the money, and spend as little of it as possible. There is no question at all about Dizmal's being able to afford it. They just didn't want to spend anymore after…

Three drafts of a Story Premise walk into a bar. One of them says "Ow!", and is knocked unconscious. And THAT Premise is the one they develop. into a half hour (22 minute) show.

No, not at all. Word is that TCW cost a cool Million a show. (It was largely "Someone else's " Money) SWR is supposed to cost around half of that per episode. But where the money goes, don't ask, because you don't see it on screen.

Thank you for so neatly disposing of the "Standard Argument" from someone who obviously thinks that a) Animation=For widdle kiddies and b) adults watching the show ought not have high expectations or anything toward which to look forward.
It's people like Mister Bennett who have given tacit permission for the bar to…

I'm compelled to observe that the recipients of the "bomb" you refer to were the long-suffering audience, rather than the evil "Empire."

On this week's episode of "Outer space "heroes" acting stupidly" we bring you the slightly shopworn and predictable "What price stupidity?" scenario.
You can see most of this episode coming from the moment that SWR (Once again) "disposes" of most of the main characters, opening for them a rich and fruitful life of…
