“Appropriated?” Calm down. It’s a mediocre cover, nothing more. Hell, I’d say that “aggressively unremarkable” is a better description, because it’s not like it’s performed poorly in any way.

I feel like Andor and The Last Jedi are the only two Disney Star Wars properties that really focus on the characters. In both instances, the plot is driven by the characters and what drives them.

Prompt replies carry a surcharge. If you can’t be bothered to Venmo me for expedited opinions, that’s on you.

extremely funny to post that video as some kind of ‘gotcha’

It’s fair to think that they’re probably zombie troopers (i.e. the boxes contain a bunch of stormtrooper corpses), but the show certainly doesn’t confirm that.

You are weirdly aggressive about this.

They never say what the boxes are. “Easy to figure out” =/= revealed. Yes, you can infer that they’re more zombie troopers, but it’s never outright stated.

He even called him Kanan in a previous episode, explaining to Carson why Jacen knew weird things. He’s aware that Kanan lived under a different name for the rest of his life and among his friends, and Huyang only refers to him as Caleb when referring to him as a child. It’s very well set up.

To who, exactly, was it “sold as a sequel to rebels?”  Point to be a SINGLE piece of official marketing materials that says this. 

I think Stevenson did know he was going to die and took the job to prank fans. 

There isn’t one mention of the Star wars rebels TV show.

They even said you don’t need to have seen Rebels to watch it. It’s a standalone show.

Actually you are. If you go back and rewatch the saber-building scene Huyang does call him as Caleb during the conversation. He knows they’re same person but also recognizes everyone else mostly knows him as Kanan.

LOL, what story? I’ve been reading all these recaps, and I don’t see much story being told. In seven episodes, two groups have skirmished a bit, to no real result, and traveled to another galaxy, where the bad guys have spent two episodes loading cargo. Also, the main character had a very long, weird dream, which…

Just because people are pew-pew!-ing and swoosh-swoosh!-ing at each other doesn’t mean the story is meaningfully advancing.

Those pants...

“Oh my God, they killed Shaak Ti!”

I’ve just made this headcanon. 

It’s the current problem with current Action movies and TV shows, the story is a vehicle to get from cool action scene to bonker action scenes instead of being used for character development and setting up great dialogues.
