  1. That's how you know when it's just not your day.
  2. Vance will be trying to suck up to the new pope on a phone call. Leo's response, "new pope, who dis"?
  3. The article talks about Iger coming back cut some of the budget and that ultimately it worked better for the story to have K2SO introduced on Ghorman as part of the massacre. Gilroy has mentioned before that while K2 is a fan favorite, he's not a fun narrative device because he's not easy to hide. I think most of the Senate shots were the cultural building in Spain that also serves as the exterior shots. It's in the video Surly posted above.
  4. He looks more Senator Palpatine. I will be Pope.
  5. Getting ready for next week's finale with this purchase. Will throw this on Wednesday night.
  6. Kind of amusing he's being talked about as the "least American of the Americans".
  7. Portillo's or Mr. Beef.
  8. This translator is struggling on ABC
  9. Maybe he'll sing Take Me Out To The Ballgame up on the balcony.
  10. I'm stunned. I'm pissed. It's Robert Francis Prevost!
  11. Oh look new pope. Oh wait, just the messenger pope.
  12. Oh get on with it, you drama queens.
  13. I'm stunned. I'm pissed. It's a new pope!
  14. BREAKING POPE NEWS NOW!
  15. This could've been really awesome but I think how K2SO was introduced with the others was for the best. Maybe give Dan Gilroy that Star Wars horror one shot. https://ew.com/andor-creator-reveals-scrapped-k2so-horror-movie-episode-11728167
  16. https://yodenary-the-guide-to-star-wars.fandom.com/wiki/Imperial_Rankings
  17. That was in Return of the Jedi with the 2nd Death Star. There is speculation that we will finally see Bothans on screen as part of the Rebel spy network.
  18. Well Gilroy said the same thing so I doubt there's much friction other than some jealousy on the accolades Andor is getting from critics. Filoni can handle the nerd side of Star Wars just fine but he's definitely a Lucas disciple down to his inability to write compelling dialogue. Ahsoka proved that out. Gilroy writes for adults. Filoni writes for the prequel and Clone Wars generation. I think Favreau is too busy to care that much. Gilroy's dismissiveness about not caring to fill the same mythos exactly as they do might rub him the wrong way. I don't know why they would need to collaborate or communicate since Andor is a bottled in series. It won't have any effects on Ahsoka or Mando other than Mon Mothma making an appearance which she's already done. All of the people from Andor and Rogue One are either dead or their stories ended. I know Gilroy leans on Pablo Hidalgo and the story group for lore and making sure he's not stepping on toes or breaking canon too much. They did completely rewrite the K2SO origin that was in a comic book but who gives a shit. That crap bothers me to begin with. Adding Mon's Senate speech actually worked well because it was her open rebellion against the Empire warning her colleagues that they're all being played which not as many people saw. Then you can still have her give her Rebels speech because it fits with asking people to join the Rebellion. I know Dan Gilroy was opposed to using Mon's existing speech because he hated it so Tony wrote a new one for the show but they still referenced the Rebels one. https://www.empireonline.com/tv/news/tony-gilroy-andor-existence-mandalorian-exclusive/
  19. Just move to 9 games. No one wants to see SEC teams play shitty FBS and FCS opponents. 9 conference games ensures at least 4 SEC teams in playoff because the SOS of all the SEC teams increases instantly. It's better for ESPN. It's better for the fans who have to shell out $$$ to watch home games. You might lose a home game one year but you gain it back the next season. The CFP just needs to say everyone plays 9 conference games to qualify and at least one other power 4 conference foe in the OOC. Make home and homes mean something. If they expand to 14 or 16 then who cares about worrying about not getting in. The Big 10 and SEC will take most of those spots.
  20. At least he got the runner at home.
  21. Didn't he stash it on Niamos (Miami Star Wars) with his Imperial credits in the room he was staying at and then gave it to Melshi when they went their separate ways after One Way Out?
  22. Gilroy's lasting impact on Star Wars could be making Lucasfilm have a higher standard of screenwriting and dialogue going forward. Doubtful but it's definitely set a standard.
