    The one thing I found interesting was the reveal that the supervisor knew that the Jedi were the enemy....yet was not aware of the New Republic being the successor to the Old Republic?...Why? I guess the Old Republic's AI Supervisor did not have a contingency plan for such a deviation in its protocol that has apparently counted on the Jedi for "generations"? OR.....Did the Empire-Sith-Imperial Remnants-Acolytes on Exegol know and were using it to fund the hidden Fleet on Exegol? They never explained how Old Republic credits were valid during g the New Republic....so who knows....

    So you are saying the First Order just materialized out of nowhere and wreaked havoc for the New Republic for just one year?

    Correction...last 8 episodes! ....ok....so I guess there's more than 2 X-wings at the disposal of the New Republic.... It's too bad Wim and the entire population of newly enlightened At-Atians will see the downfall of the New Republic soon enough and rise of the First Order....wonder how many of them will be so disillusioned by their generations of betrayal from the Old Republic that they readily enlist with the First Order?....lol

    Here's the original Kitz Concept prototype Max figure....

    Boots look too big....face looks pudgy....glasses seem to be lacking sufficient blue tint....hair looks too wild...not sure if second hair piece may be better...would have preferred more skin-toned extra hands....don't care for the Michael Jackson look.... I think two of their prototypes had better face and hair sculpts....can't find the pics though....and the original all plastic pilot figure was the best one.... Still getting it though.... Some pics....not sure if the Millia is a kit.... https://www.passion4fun.com/rilasciata-la-advanced-action-figures-series-di-max-sterling-della-kitzconcept/#google_vignette

    Squid Game International...."trash" exists everywhere....lol

    Wow...your views are based on Halloween costume data? Try harder professor.... I'm pretty sure the majority of those kids you saw were likely wearing OT based costumes or at best Mando or baby Yoda.....I must have passed out over 500 pieces of candy and I could count on one hand the number of kids wearing SW costumes.....so yeah....if basing the argument on whether kids make up any significant portion of SW D+ viewership based on Halloween costumes (LMAO).....I'll go with my "circumstantial" evidence over yours.....

    You are over-thinking it....most likely the show, in which Hondo's crew features more in, is more or less intended for kids, thus they can'treally get too hard core....ironically, Skellington Crew is supposedly the first SW D+ "kids" show, but somehow featured straight up murder and a whore house in the first few episodes!...let's face it...the only "kids" watching are grown-ass adults........Incidentally, the same "bloodthirsty" bilge rats have managed to get outsmarted by kids from a suburb far, far away for the last 7 episodes....and odds are they will somehow manage to cripple Jod's crew without any assistance from the New Republic's 2 X-Wing Squadron!

    I guess I do not know much about Hondo, personally, I associate him with Smuggler's Run....still I can only assume someone doesn't become a crime boss by being a nice guy...unless you are Boba Fett! I see Hondo as the kind of crime boss that would never get his hands "dirty"....that's what his crew is for......and speaking of Boba, still can't forget his nefarious cyborg space vespa riding crew! Nothing elicits terror or commands respect like cyborgs on shiny space vespas!

    LOL....of all the things to complain about...you hone in on the one thing that Hondo's inclusion would have brought up again front and center...which is Star Wars' incessant desire to keep a vast galaxy as small as possible....it's bad enough that we keep seeing the same half dozen aliens in practically every show....sometime in each episode!....yeah....not seeing Hondo in this latest stinker was probably one of the few good decisions about it....
  11. jvmacross
    I see what you did there....
  12. jvmacross
    Pirate Wolfie had no chance of survival from the moment he first appeared on screen as the main "bad guy"...he follows a long line of "cool-looking" bad guys that end up dying dumb deaths.....Boba Fett, Captain Phasma, all of the Knights of Ren....LOL.........maybe he'll somehow show up at the last second and kill Evil Jack Sparrow.....maybe he's more cat than dog and has nine lives!

    Sooner, I'd worry about the M&M Arcade 1A's and GBP set....who knows how much longer those may have been pushed back to make good on the Kickstarter items....
  14. jvmacross
    good sign I guess.....much too early to panic, at least for the Kickstarter lot...
  15. jvmacross
    Weird?.....Are you watching the same "fantasy space opera"? As I metioned earlier...the last 'adult' force user who threatened children with death...and actually carried it out!....was redeemed, so nothing weird about redemption for mass murderers in a galaxy far, far away....
  16. jvmacross
    yeah, I think I'd give more factual weight to the data from Nielsen

    The Max fig was the next up....was set for Dec 2024, but KC hasn't met release dates in quite a while....I will wait until end of January until I feel I need to reach out to them for an update....
  19. jvmacross
    Yeah...been saying this on previous posts....they must have some rock bottom ROI figure that they use to determine if a show was "good enough" financially...the advertisers must also have their criteria for wether or not to toss ad dollars to a show....the less eyes on a show, the lowrr the ad revenues....so so that is another thing to follow...D+'s ad revenues....if the go lower it means no one is watching...no matter how "good" some may think a show is....sadly, everything I have seen seems to indicate that the viewership numbers for Pirates of the Outer Rim are unfortunately lower than The Acolyte....a certified stinker and proven loser straight from D+'s bean counters!
  20. jvmacross
    Realy?....have a link where this show has been "consistently" in the top 10? Everything I read seems to say it was at the 15th spot at best....

    https://www.jeditemplearchives.com/2025-01-10-the-new-streaming-charts-for-skeleton-crew/ https://thatparkplace.com/skeleton-crew-star-wars-lowest-ratings/ I guess if D+ "non-ad" subscriptions are a significant majority....maybe? We still cannot say that the show will not tie "somehow" into the Mandoverse or ST....patience padawans!
  22. jvmacross
    Cut and paste storytelling for sure...still, it seems like many are satisfied with this latest ultra derivative D+SW show similar to how sometimes it is more about the road trip than the actual destination....these shows excel at this....just a series of "cool stuff" happening before getting to the end....
  23. jvmacross
    What's with secret maps and hidden planets in Star Wars?....D+ Star Wars has hit rock bottom when they have resorted to ripping off concepts from their much trashed Sequel Trilogy.... Secret maps were used in TFA and again in TROS....hidden planets were a specialty of the Sith up until Pirates of the Outer Rim....again, no idea if these concepts had already been lifted from the EU....
  24. jvmacross
    Well....may as well go all-out slapstick comedy at this point then....but has there been any D+ Star Wars show so far that did not have delusions of grandeur for a second season? Disney probably wants their Stranger Things too!
  25. jvmacross
    And after all the fake mysteries....we are presented with one final mystery.....what do the idiots on At Attic get privy to once they "graduate"? What can possibly be that interesting to take a chance by even adding one final mystery at the 11th hour?...the payoff has to be pretty big, right? As Grand Moff Tarkin would say....D+ is taking an awful risk...
