    And this of course makes the situation between the New Republic and the First Order at the start of the Sequels even more stupid. Nobody in the Republic thought the First Order was a real threat. Leia and her private army took it upon themselves to try to stop them. The threat of the First Order in the Sequels could only exist if there we no major wars between the original trilogy and the sequels. With 30 years of peace, it makes the New Republic not treating the First Order as a real threat believable. Include a big war with Thrawn and that's no longer believable.

    The show was terrible because Filoni is a fanboy for his own stuff. It was all just fan service for him and the kids who grew up watching the cartoons. Whenever the show had a chance add some real meaningful drama he couldn't go through with it because he was too much of a fan.

    That has to be one of my biggest gripes about season 3. I thought the lesson of the previous seasons was that Mando needed to break away from that toxic cult. Then in season 3 it was like forget all that. Our marketing research shows that audiences responds well to baby Yoda and people dressed like Boba Fett saying "this is the way."

    Zero interest. Their story ended in season 2 finale. And the most interesting unanswered plot elements worthy of a movie was wasted in the book of Boba Fett and Mando season 3.

    Finally an Episode IV Black series Solo to replace the original.

    2 the both of you. 1st Don't act like the victim when you were the first to add fuel to the fire by publicly mocking them. 2nd If someone does insult you don't resort to calling them names because now we have two problems. 3rd I'm feeling generous and will be hiding some of these offensive posts. This a gentle reminder to end it. 4th I don't see how we can avoid discussion about pricing and price changes. Best thing I can say about that is try to leave your editorial opinions on the reason why out of the discussion. We all know the reason why.

    I'm confused by that. I know he has a real good aim but that object and the method of launching it wouldn't have enough force to cause such an injury.
  8. Roy Focker
    Yeah, there isn't much difference between them to warrant buying a new one at a higher price. Could have given us a new head with a more accurate eye patch and retro looking arm. This one got a little bit of red paint.

    Those figures look good but the lineups are terrible. Obscure characters or obscure variant costumes are never big sellers. That's why most toy line just include 1 per wave or make them an exclusive. If want to collect this toy line with the goal of getting your favorite bridge crew in their deflaut uniform you risk never reaching this goal because this company will have to stop making these figures due to costs and low sales.

    No way this movie is going to make any money. Cast is too hugh and Cgi cost will be through the roof. They'll have to charge more to see it and even then it will require everyone to see it at least 2 times. Current trend is too throw hundreds of millions of dollars on the screen. Resulting in any movie not making a billion as a failure.

    Prequels also tried to be very kid friendly. You can't mix serious cerebral political discussions with a kid racing goofy looking cgi critters. They are too far apart.

    Missed out on the Smake. Internet was out all day by the time it was working again it was too late.

    Maybe it will be inspired by the 3 Amigos? They're playing themselves. Hired to protect a village but think they're making a sequel.

    That release schedule saves me money as I only have to subscribe for just 1 month.

    It looks like everything I don't want from this show. Trailer is filled with rock music and action. Andor season 1 was great show but, it was slow paced with a bunch of talking. The action scenes were few and far between. When they did happen, it had meaning. The action wasn't there to just keep people from getting bored. I hope season 2 is still like season 1. Maybe the trailer is just Disney trying to make it look more action packed than it really is.

    Don't forget this one too. GA0581 1:12 JUNGLE HOUND GRIDIRON Mechanized Div. (Green) 4x4 Military vehicle great for G.I. Joe Classified, Monster Force custom Action Figures

    If anyone was unsatisfied by the ending remember this was a show about kid characters. They would have to be the ones to save the day. Because they are kids it isn't going to involve that much violence. Nor could they have Jude have a change of heart and fight his old crew with a light saber as it would have made him the more of hero than the kids.
  18. Roy Focker
    You realize this was the Star Wars show specifically aimed at kids more than any other show (excluding the Ewok TV movies). No kids in the real world would be able to save the day like that. Kid centered fiction follows a different set of rules. If this was a show featuring adults as the leads, I'd questioned everything. Since this show is for kid and about kids, I'm judging it by a different standard did they tell a good story? Was I entertained? Did I care about the characters? To that I say yes. I'd put it up there with Andor. Both are good for different reasons. I'd even say it might even be better than season 1 and 2 of The Mandalorian.

    What happened to Disney"s use of deep fake monsters like Luke Skywalker?
  20. Roy Focker
    Exactly. This time it is a show featuring kids aimed at kids. Only the logic of Saturday morning cartoons apply. If one of these kids get stabbed through the middle of the chest with a light saber and survives I'm not going to question it like I would in some of their other shows.
  21. Roy Focker
    Some harsh reviews I see. Latest episode was alright. Nothing spectacular but okay overall. It is still primarily the show aimed specifically at kids. Judging by that standard its not a bad show.
  22. Roy Focker
    No complaints from me. Thought the Owl was too cartoonish but then I remembered this is the kid targeted show.
  23. Roy Focker
    It gets my seal of approval. Kids go off on adventure and encounter pirates. The tone is good. Kids can act. Watching it wasn't a chore. I look forward to watching the rest.

    Remember what allegedly happened with Rogue One? Disney wasn't pleased with what Edward made and had Gilroy do some reshoots. In theory Rogue One had some good ideas but something was lacking if they had someone else do the reshoots. A script that sounded better on paper or whatever. A good director but the wrong director for that particular movie. I think the Acolyte suffered from the same problems. This time none of the higherups ordered any reshoots. How could they afford it with the budget they already spent making it.

    I don't understand why this Captain America isn't dead. His wing suit might be capable of superhero stunts but isn't physical body still that of a normal human? There's no super serum running through his veins. Those mechanical parts don't encase his entire body like Ironman.
