  1. Yeah they staged that entire 23-minute sequence like a one-act play so they had multiple cameras continuously rolling and the actors played the entire scene all at once (no breaks for coverage, etc.).
  2. Yeah the first season is a little uneven but man… once it gets going… so much great stuff… The Inquisitors/Vader, Ashoka, Mon Mothma and the nascent Rebellion, Saw Gurerra, Thrawn, Agent Callus (hope he ends up in live action), and on and on. Fantastic show.
  3. LOL what a dipshit. Has this guy been asleep during all of the realignment of the past 12 years? Rivalries SHOULD drive CFB but they quite clearly DON'T. Rivalries are important to FANS, but the powers that be don't give two flying fucks about rivalries if they can make marginally more money from joining a new conference.
  4. LOL If you're a fan you really should watch Rebels before the Ahsoka series. It's basically setting up to be a live-action sequel of that series. I'm sure you could still enjoy Ahsoka even if you haven't seen Rebels, but it will be 10x better if you have. Rebels isn't nearly as long as Clone Wars (little to no "filler" episodes - only 4 seasons with 75 total episodes) and you could easily knock it out before Ahsoka starts. It has a very OT feel and seriously has 3-4 all-time great Star Wars moments in it.
  5. Yeah IIRC the last time we saw him was the Shareholder meeting episode maybe?
  6. Totally forgot to mention that it was great to see Skinny Pete gave up the meth life in Albuquerque and became a Mandalorian, lol.
  7. Great episode. And as someone who currently has a 2 year-old, the Grogu NO NO NO YES YES YES YES thing was cracking my shit up.
  8. 100% Think of all the realignment ramifications over the past 12ish years just because the PAC turned up their noses at taking the 6 Big 12 schools after Nebraska announced they were leaving. The PAC could have established itself as one of the three super-conference pillars along with SEC and B1G, but instead they are about to become the WAC10.
  9. No he was talking about Mandel. LOL oh yeah. That was comically bad. He was comparing like Big 12 games on ESPNU to PAC games on ABC or something as "proof" the PAC rated higher. Laughable.
  10. LOL yes. He’s been getting dunked on for like a year straight now. Remember when he cited recruiting rankings as evidence that the PAC would get a better deal than the Big 12? LOL
  11. Yeah I don’t think we’re specifically supposed to know at this point. But I think it’s almost certain that Greg will keep some copies for himself before deleting… Given Tom’s now exposed position with the kids, I’d say it’s likely something that would put him in a bad (or worse) spot with them.
  12. Wow. Yeah. Absolutely gripping. Every decision the show runners made about when he was gonna go and how it was going to happen/be shown was an absolute master class in making the audience feel just as out-of-the-blue gut-punched as the siblings. Make it happen in episode 3 (not your typical "something big happens" episode) Not showing him "go down." The bad phone connection. Not actually showing him until the very end. The fact that it was on a plane over the ocean where you just have to wait for them to get back. Plus, I'll have to go back and look, but I think the initial shot of the kids finding out was one continuous shot (no cuts). Just a master class. Incredible.
  13. This is almost every Star Wars complaint boiled down into two sentences... generally the "problem" is that fans judge the shows based on what they THINK they should be, not what they actually are. Mandalorian wasn't "supposed to be a space western." It was supposed to be Star Wars. That's it. And Star Wars sometimes borrows from Westerns. And Samurai movies. And spy movies. And war movies. And mythology. And religion. And on and on and on. It's ALL of those things and very often people don't like it when it veers away from the influences they like into the influences they don't like. This season of Mando is leaning HARD into Mandalorian mythology. It's like a classic 5-6 episode story arc of Clone Wars that leans hard into some very obscure and specific part of Star Wars lore.
  14. Holy shit. I just watched this to completion.
  15. Yeah really the deal with Mandos all along is that there are always multiple factions with varying allegiances fighting each other.
  16. Seems like the Mando mercenaries almost certainly are who busted Moff Gideon out...(there was the line about "we do whatever if the price is right")... and the episode was titled "Hired Guns.".... So my guess is that the Mando mercenaries were hired by Thrawn to bust out Gideon and were given the light Imperial cruiser as payment.
  17. This was my guess after that episode aired. And yeah with two episodes left, my guess is that both will be solidly focused on setting up the Ashoka show. I think it's very possible we get an Ashoka and Sabine appearance and probably a Thrawn reveal in the last episode. I would bet they save the Ezra reveal for the Ashoka show.
  18. Every day that passes it becomes more and more clear that Yormark has been playing 4D chess to Kliavkoff's Candyland. PAC is fucking toast.
  19. Ummm ok. Sorry for actually paying attention to the show I’m watching I guess. I know it’s a lot easier to poke holes in the narrative if you don’t actually, you know, listen to the narrative.
  20. This is definitely a possibility, but I believe they would also need Sandy/Stewey votes to oust Logan and make Kendall CEO wouldn't they? I don't recall the exact number of board seats, but I think it's really these seven that matter: Kendall Roman Shiv Sandy Sandy Stewey Logan The kids only account for 3 of the 7 key Board votes... and I believe there are also supposed to be at least 2-3 other external directors so just the 3 kids can't get something through... they will need the 3 votes from Sandy/Stewey... now if they have 6 votes they should be good assuming there are no more than 10 total directors. It's definitely a high-risk move to assume that Sandy/Stewey will go along with it, but it's definitely something Kendall is reckless enough to try, lol.
  21. I think it was 100% him sensing weakness in Mattson and ALSO knowing that they are massively over-paying for Pierce, so if he senses the opportunity to squeeze out another couple hundred million out of the deal he's going to try and do it. I don't think that he (Kendall) thinks that pushing for more will blow the deal. He's thinking Mattson's whole "I'll just walk away" thing is a negotiating tactic because that's what he's used to ... I think the issue may be that Mattson WILL walk away. And I'm not really sure how that would "fuck" Logan. All that does is give him his entire company back and we're right back to where we were. Logan has the company and the power and the kids are back to being subordinate to him because they sure and shit can't buy Pierce without cashing out after the Gojo deal.
  22. Yeah and hopefully we’ll start playing a non-conference series as well.
  23. LOL that wasn’t supposed to be the “entire population of the planet of Navarro”… it was supposed to be what was left of the city after the aerial bombardment from the pirate guy. And it looks less “lived in” and less “gritty” because the idea is that the city/planet/etc. was “cleaned up” and got a big infusion of money once the Imperial Remenant was driven away and Grief was in charge. I mean they literally talked about that in the first episode when Mando even commented about Navarro being “nice” all of a sudden.
  24. SOOOOOOOO much this. This is one of the great things about Star Wars. I loved the shit out of Andor but I’m also loving the shit out of Mando. Both are really good at what they are trying to do. Andor is a 1970s spy/Cold War movie set in Star Wars, which is fucking awesome. As someone said above, Mando is basically a live-action extension of the Filoni shows and I’m here for that as well.
