    This shocks you from the main character in what supposedly is a show aimed at kids?....it could not have ended for his character any other way....LOL

    I am inclined to wait for the Fast Packs for the M&M to be made....will think about it... https://www.threezerohk.com/product/robo-dou-robotech-vf-1j-veritech-max-sterling/

    Exactly....most "kids" interested in D+ SW haven't been "kids" for decades....lol

    Perhaps you just deciphered the code for the only type of SW show that can possibly succeed for D+ SW....a cartoon logic show done in live action.....unfortunately, the "target audience" can't afford to pay the ever increasing D+ subscription fees....the reported streaming viewership numbers point to the fact that the true and most important" target audience"....the ones paying the D+ streaming bills....didn't care for this type of show...apparently there were 20% lower folks watching Skellington Crew than The Acolyte....this is not a good thing.... Maybe this should have just been released as a movie instead to give a nod to it's SW Ewok movies roots that were also made "for the kids".....bottomline is that no one wanted this according to the viewership numbers....so D+ is once again forced back the the proverbial drawing board....

    The show's ending was so underwhelming that I must have missed the reveal to the last minute mystery from Ep 7 of what the at-atians get privy to once they graduate.... That they are ruled by a robot overlord? Also what was the "great work"? Again....if the Supervisor knew the Jedi were enemies of the Republic....how would it not know about everything else that has happened after Order 66? Who was supplying this info to the supervisor? Was the supervisor aware of the destruction of the other At-Planets? Seems like SW is back to portraying folks that learn about the Force at a later age becoming a-holes without the guidance of a Jedi.....broom boy is screwed...

    It does because the show had no other purpose in the general scope of SW world-building than to demonstrate that, initially, the New Republic seemed like a good thing...but I guess we are supposed to feel bad about how all eventually went bad and lead straight into the events of TROS....other than that the entire series was pointless....

    I'm by no means a SW expert, but a simple Google search shows they had been a "problem" for the New Republic for apparently a decade or more.... Also, I belive they evolved from the Imperial Remnant...so that alone can be used to argue how long they have been a problem for the New Republic....basically since post destruction of Death Star 2....

    Of course it's valid...it's yet another typical SW plothole...

    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?
  11. jvmacross
    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....
  13. jvmacross
    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.....
  16. jvmacross
    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!
  17. jvmacross
    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!
  18. jvmacross
    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....
  19. jvmacross
    I see what you did there....
  20. 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!
  21. jvmacross
    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....
  22. jvmacross
    good sign I guess.....much too early to panic, at least for the Kickstarter lot...
  23. 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....
  24. jvmacross
    yeah, I think I'd give more factual weight to the data from Nielsen
