    The "negative" reviews out of Cannes seem mostly to be that the movie is predictable. It's a "legacy sequel" that recycles what has come before. I haven't read any reviews that it's poorly shot, poorly acted, or even poorly written. I expect it to settle around 65-70% on RT. Which is fine for me, but YMMV. My stepmother is a huge Indiana Jones fan, so I'll likely see it with her. But, it isn't some ultra-important genre film for me. I'd be more concerned if Dune Part 2 was getting some shade.

    Word out if Cannes is that it's a fine, well-made movie, but that it plays it too safe and ends up feeling like a recycling of Indiana Jones's greatest hits. Which, I'm fine with. Better than another Crystal Skull.

    This was a solid, entertaining movie. Nothing bad to say about it.

    Internet rumor not being reported by any reputable sites. Color me skeptical.

    I both support his actions and worry about what this means for the show.

    I have it for PS5, it's busted. I'm expecting it to be a month or so before it's playable. Playable equal to its price tag, not playable as in "does the game load and can you do stuff?"

    No reputable sites are reporting this. Not even a whisper.

    Is this a good time for me to say I'm not a fan of Filoni's work and I'm hoping the seeming reboot we get at the end of this episode means less of his nonsense in this show?
  9. Duke Togo
    I'm actually relieved with how they handled the season ender. And it gives me hope for the future of the show.
  10. Duke Togo
    Anything Filoni is involved in is going to skew more towards a young audience. Notice he isn't even a producer on Andor and how much more adult it is.

    I'd be ok if we never saw Boba Fett again.
  12. Duke Togo
    Fair point. But I would argue that the one thing Disney Star Wars hasn't suffered from is poor directors. When there's a failure or misfire, it's generally a story/script issue. I'm not overly concerned.

    How much of Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy'a work have you seen?
  14. Duke Togo
    Highly unlikely, given Lucas's track record. And whatever you think of the stories, the sequels were well casted, acted, and shot, and made very effective use of practical, in-camera effects. We would have gotten none of that with Lucas. They would have been a green-screen, CGI-fest mess.

    I'm sorry, no. That's some serious revisionist history that doesn't match up with reality. The man was chalk full of bad ideas and poor instincts.

    Season 3 is pretty much The Book of Bo-Katan.

    I've decided the Darksaber storyline isn't working for me.

    I'm not sure where you'd get such an idea, outside of the depths of toxic Star Wars fandom.

    You know the answer to this, Roy: everything released over the past 25 years has been a retcon of the original trilogy. They've long since thrown continuity out the window. Filoni is a bigger offender in this than even Lucas was. Edit: small correction, Andor doesn't contradict the original trilogy.
  22. Duke Togo
    Oh, The Clone Wars was definitely written for children. There's no shame in admitting this and still liking it.
  23. Duke Togo
    So, is the female dark-ish force user we see in the trailer supposed to be the replacement for Mara Jade in the Heir story? Or, uh, actually Mara Jade?
  24. Duke Togo
    They hired that guy, which is why Boba Fett Luke looked a lot better.

    This is the main problem with what they've been doing. Most of us haven't seen them, or at least all of them. I find myself having to dig through Wookiepedia to find out what's going on.
