Yeah, you’re right. I don’t know why I said that last part. The ultimate thing with Star Wars—it’s a money printing machine no matter the quality of the product. She will always be able to give Iger big money numbers that he will in return show the board/shareholders and nothing will ever change.

The rebuttal was always that she was in charge of the green lighting the good projects as well. It may be time to revisit that notion because her record is starting to get lopsided in the wrong direction and if the Acolyte continues down this horrible path, I don’t see how her seat is not red hot.

You are objectively correct on The Empire Strikes Back, no other live action Star Wars film can stand next to it. On its own, the film is one of the best (on every top “x” movies of all time list), and then every good sequel is now compared to the ESB. Nolan recently said that Denis’ Dune: Part 2 is his own “ESB”.

I remember and the reason why. Just wasn’t sure of anything outside of that. Yeah I’ll accept it if we were to get Vitello. Props are what they do nowadays and I was mostly being subjective on which ones I think are fine. As for pimping home runs I’ve been game for that since day one.

Right. But it’s the daddy hat for me and other props that can be a bit too much. I think Texas under Pierce had a football helmet? I don’t remember anything else.

The current homerun dugout celebration for Tennessee consist of the player wearing a leopard print(?) cape and a hat that has the word “daddy” on it. I believe they had a giant chain last year. Mullets and mustaches might be the least of our concerns.

It was an opinion not “sourced” information on the latest for Pierce. I initially missed what you wrote under the tweet so I thought you found someone on Twitter that agreed with your own take.

Hot take: that’s wrong.

Heard someone call them “off brand nightsisters” but this group has no magic and spouts what the Jedi say about the force, plus or minus a few buzzwords. The group didn’t feel any different than what we’ve seen already from witches in SW.

Yeah, that’s why I’m a little confused. Should probably wait till the series is over or at least until we have a better idea of how the sisters were truly made. I can easily see this turning into how Anakin was made and casting a wider net on the backstory of creating life through the force. If that ends up being the case, they are doing a horrible job of trying to add depth to Anakin’s story.

How exactly did this episode insult George Lucas and Star Wars?

Although I think the criticism is over blown and the show isn’t terrible even with its faults, Andor is possibly the slowest SW show, and is probably the best thing Disney+ has put out for live action (well Mando S1 is great too so 1A-1B). My point is I don’t think the type of show has anything to do with most of the criticism that it is getting.

Episode 3 is better. The second half of the episode picking up the pace helped. But with that said, we’re 3 episodes deep in an 8 episode series and I still don’t feel much has happened with the story. I’d say the character drawing most of my interest is Sol. He’s done a decent job so far. BB grew on me through out the series. Good show overall.

What parts of the field never see the sun?

Current political issues have been shown in movies all the time by the directors/writers. We can make a long list of what George did but I feel most here understand that already. Andor even had some in there as well. But good writers don’t feel the need the need to hold the audiences hand and awkwardly explain what point they’re trying to get across. It’s subtlety done in a way that doesn’t hurt the flow of the story.

I would never in my life get tired of seeing Jedi on screen if the story’s were good. Star Wars is the Jedi. But Disney has simply failed at making the audience care about them which in return has resulted in a large portion of the fan base feeling burnt out. Theres no place for it to happen in Andor but they could easily make a gritty and down to earth Jedi and fans would soak it up.

I think the Samuel L. Jackson hate in the PT is overblown. I’ll die on that hill. Hayden on the other hand could not overcome George’s fantastic writing. For the most part the actors in the PT did their best for what they were given. Thank god for people like Liam Neeson, Christopher Lee, Ian McDarmid, Ewan McGregor ect. George got lucky in the OT by finding some unknown actors that were still good. It helps when some had experience by acting in plays/Broadway. Theres that famous video of Hamill on the Johnny Carson show where he told a story about him begging George to cut an awful piece of dialogue. I don’t know why Disney is having trouble with the actors today. Maybe there was more wiggle room for actors to improvise under George and that is not the case under the corporation model of Disney. I know in the ST you can tell the actors are fighting tooth and nail to get the words out because the story was so bad. I feel this was Oscar Isaac’s actual reaction to reading this line

In a way it points to what others have said about Disney making Jedi too stoic. They write these very powerful Jedi and then have no clue how to kill them. They set up Indara’s death with the guy falling first and her saving him, and then Mae taking advantage of it the second time around. I just feel like that has been overused for the Jedi. There just had to be one guy left in the bar that didn’t decide to escape to safety with his kid.
