The best, and really only truly good “apology” for old jokes that I’ve seen, is from Drew Magary before Deadspin flew off a cliff:

Well, Trump’s probably not wrong, but those are the consequences when your campaign and presidency are offensive to the people who run the fashion magazine industry and its readers. They aren’t public institutions. They aren’t even press really. They are private companies making print magazines that sell ads for…
It definitely makes the Star Wars Universe feel small to me but then I also wonder why I’m into the Star Wars Universe (which I am) if it isn’t for the Jedi/Skywalker stuff - does the setting otherwise offer anything distinct that couldn’t be found in other stories (not a rhetorical dig, I’m actually reflecting on…
Thank you. I was deeply confused by that, I actually scrolled back up to see if I was reading it wrong.
The Timeless Child is on the wrong list.

The time frame was addressed in my introduction to the book. There are those, e.g. Encyclopædia Britannica, that extend the Victorian era through the Edwardian up to the British entry into WWI: “Victorian era, in British history, the period between approximately 1820 and 1914, corresponding roughly but not exactly to…
And set up Patty Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron movie.
The Peter Parker hater.
I thoroughly enjoyed Luke’s appearance. It was just the right amount of classic Star Wars for the show.
Honestly I was okay with both of those far more then the all the Clone Wars cartoon shit. At least I saw the things Luke and Boba Fett were in
The franchise has a bit of an issue going forwards, which is that the stuff fans really want to see involves the events taking place in close proximity to the original trilogy — mostly unseen adventures involving Luke, Han and Leia either between films or in the aftermath of Return of the Jedi. And a sequence like…
That goodbye was so divisive and so poorly jumbled together (especially as it was so tied into the whole “let go of the past, fans...get over it...even as we keep marketing the past to you nonstop to get your money!” mess). I think giving some of the more unhappy fans a peek of the Luke they wanted to see is better…
They should have cast another actor, IMO.
For me, it was the X-wing. The second I saw the X-wing I figured that was the only Jedi they would dare introduce that way. I would have been shattered if they showed the X-wing landing and then didn’t give us a Luke payoff. Unless it was Corran Horn...I mean...that’s the only way I could have forgiven that kind of…
Oh and please, no griping about the effects on Luke. Granted I’m old enough to remember the days of visible set wobble on Dr Who (or wobbly Daleks on wheelbarrows for that matter) but come on. Sod photo realism or uncanny valley nonsense, suspend your disbelief even a little and that’s Luke Skywalker in the…
What if Grogu leaves the order sometime before Ben Solo goes to the dark side? The little guy is still a Mandalorian foundling of Clan Mudhorn, after all.
This whole piece is written like a weird, excitable ramble. I think he got drunk and said something about his role in Wonder Woman? But who the fuck can tell? I mean - “you might want to blame the cocktails at the getting-to-know-you London mixer co-star Wonder Woman co-star Kristen Wiig threw for breaching Pascal’s…
