  1. Only way to answer that is with another question. Who in the entire show gets into a fight? The Droid is the only one that really does. Jod does a bit more then any other character.
  2. Whenever the plot needed him to be a decent fighter (with force abilities no less) he was however.
  3. The Hatbox Ghost was the last change to DW's Haunted Mansion. A decent effect but I don't see what all the hype was about. With the competition opening an entirely new park all Disney is doing is retheming a bunch of stuff that already exists (or ripping down stuff that exists to make room for nearly the exact same amount of stuff) instead of adding on MORE capacity. Most of that being a couple years out at least (and with the speed Disney is going that would be a generous estimate). The only truly new capacity being added is Villains land and that is WAY out in the future.
  4. Skellington Crew! THAT is a show I would be interested in seeing!
  5. Jod has proven his ability to talk his way out of most anything and the lame way Brutus was eliminated was certainly no better then anything they could have done in a final episode. Talking the crew into letting him fight Brutus for command would have tied in nicely with the "rules" the robot was spouting in an earlier episode.
  6. The ending was "meh". The problem, as others have mentioned, is that there was no tension. We KNEW the kids were not going to get hurt and the planet would be free of pirates. Having Werewolf guy around for the final episode could have given it some kind of tension - would Jod (just noticed how close that is to Jude...) be killed is something I would believe could have happened.
  7. If Disney's dubs are any indication that makes sense. Their Valley of the Wind dub is excellent and the other dubs they did were all excellent as well. Having Billy Crystal for Howl's Moving Castle certainly helps of course.
  8. Well, you could say that Baylan is no Peter Cushing... Even the redone Luke, though much better (and I think the same person did Luke in Boba Fett too) does not quite make it out of the uncanny valley - but it does get much closer to doing so.
  9. Costly - have still not quite worked out yet either. For a character that was only seen in a few episodes of a spinoff that is not even "required".
  10. Well, the Jedi, even being the idiots they were portrayed as, would not have been TRYING to help that outcome along...
  11. When there was one company at $10 a month it was a no-brainer. When the content is spread between multiple companies each at $15 a month or so (unless you want ads and nobody really wants ads) then it is time to get choosy again.
  12. Not really. This has been true ever since Episode 1 came out. Lucas messed up their pre-downfall culture very badly and nobody has really tried to break that mold since. Besides making them even worse that is.
  13. The writing for SC has been decent if not great. Besides the McGuffin having no intrinsic value to make it worth being sought out the show has done well enough. The only real time it seemed to go off a bit was the planet at war that was not much at war. The obvious "this is a kids show so we have to tone it down" bias brought that episode down. Then again I'm not 11 anymore (when Star Wars came out) so I'm a bit more jaded, but Star Wars only had to keep me entertained for 2 hours of spectacle and this has to do that over a longer run time with a much longer time between all the episodes to have stray thoughts about it. All that said it is a heck of a lot better then the more "Adult" The Acolyte or The Book of Boba Fett (outside of the Mandolorian season 2.5 bits)
  14. Yes it does. If this were a Bugs Bunny short, sure the entire credits thing would not matter. This is closer to "We have a plan" or that Fiasco that Lost ended up being. The sad part being is a modicum of thought or a single line of exposition could handle the whole thing without any change to the rest of the story.
