Absolutely! Solo would have performed way better if they’d left it for the end of the year.

As a Star Wars fan I fucking hate the obvious special treatment given to Disney’s favourite child. Christmas had been a great place for Star Wars. Each of the films made $1b+. Iger’s irrational push to bring Star Wars back to May is what killed Solo in theatres.

The author of the article didn’t even bother to watch the TED. Bredow points out - several times - that this was just a proof of concept.
It’s like complaining animatics don’t look finished.
No shit!

Cassian: Cinta.
Vel: … and let’s not forget Aargrot the Leming, z’aargyhTh, Flim-Flam Zoot.
Cassian: Who the fuck are they?
Vel: I don’t know. Social media said it would make sense.

I more get pissed at the old fans. The ones who have come back to revisit Star Wars because of Andor but then use it as an opportunity to tear down the rest of the franchise.

I’ve found that most of the fans who want this don’t follow Star Wars anymore. Andor has rekindled their love and made the galaxy relevant again. But most of the rest of us are grateful to have such a wonderful series as a part of an already deep and rich collection.

That’s going to be hard to fit in when Lucasfilm announce her new show:
Hutt Slayer Kleya - a Star Wars Story

It’s not too bad. It kinda has all the same failings as the prequels. Little Leia is the highlight though.

Crazy. It’s like when I think about my wife and I in high school. She was a junior in year 8, I was a senior in year 12.
To clarify: We didn’t actually meet until we were both in our 20s.

Mando 1 & 2 and Skeleton Crew. Neither are at the same level as Andor but they’re both very Star Wars (in the traditional sense).
If you’re into animation, The Clone Wars (series) is also excellent.

I enjoy the irony of how Partagaz refers to disorder and chaos as a disease, yet the real cancer proves to be the ceaseless need for control. Smarter and cunning officers (Dedra, Blevin) eat each other for power. Ultimately, only bumbling incompetents are left to pick up the pieces.

I do hope in years to come fans will look back on Kathleen Kennedy’s role in this transition period and focus more on the positive impact she has had.

No, it’s fine. The Clone Wars movie is terrible. I have never been able to sit through the entire movie.
Happily, the actual series is magnificent.

Yoda is an incredibly flawed character in the prequels, I’m sad to say. It’s not until he’s had 20 years to meditate on his failures that he becomes the truly wisened Jedi Master we eventually fall in love with in Empire.

Don’t worry. Tuesday isn’t far and the next episode will …
Oh.

I think you’ll find it’s the fourth season of Andor.

It’s not a comment on any specific policy, rather an observation. Despite their progressive stance, The Greens parliamentary history tends to demonstrate a more Thatcherist idealism. That to compromise is to achieve nothing.

So the super rich aren’t in favour of a tax on the super rich?
That’s weird.
Oh well. At least they still have their super important franking credits.

I would love to see this man fail spectacularly, essentially losing the seat twice.

AOC is much more outspoken. More akin to Padme Amidala - without the falling in love with a genocidal maniac part.

The Clone Wars ARE my prequels.
I enjoy the prequel movies to kind of set the scene.

You’re allowed to say #Andor was great. Of course you can.
Where many tend to get a tad shirty, though, is when people use their enthusiasm for Andor as a launch pad to tear down the rest of the franchise.

It’s a great scene.
They did do it in the Mandoverse too though. Luke gives Grogu the choice between the Beskar Chainmail and Yoda’s lightsaber.
