    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    You're making hasty judgements because you’re not familiar with the details in the timeline as developed in Rebels. In the last episode of Rebels, the face off is between Ezra Bridger and Thrawn, and they both disappear. Several years have passed while Ahsoka has been looking for them. That’s...

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    I think we have very different ideas of what makes a great story. I just can’t see details like these ruining my experience and I have to wonder how much of the difference between the ways we judge are dependent upon other issues. I didn’t enjoy the last movie trilogy. I originally skipped...

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    Just fyi, it’s the opposite. Ahsoka was introduced as an annoying adolescent. Optimistic in the extreme, many fans complained about her just as they do every less-than-adult protagonist. In Ahsoka’s case, we haven’t seen her much since her face off with Vader (you realize she was Anakin’s...

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    Yeah. I’m not a fan of that either. Back in the day, this was the stereotypical example of “melodrama”, and hence a thing to be avoided at all costs. Somewhere back in the 80’s though, UCLA film school started selling the idea under the rebranding of “subverting expectations” sans instructions...

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    Here is a great scene that is presented in “Western” style. Note the pace is slow. You’re expected to wade in anticipation as you listen to the wind. It’s Mano a Mano, but surprisingly between two women. I’ve got no problem with this since it doesn’t stoop to the silly stupid stuff as per...

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    Well, it’s hard to say where is bad writing and where is an unfortunate general concept. For instance, I get Richard’s complaint about the pacing in Fett, but it’s important to note the writers were specifically tasked to evoke an American Western air, as did Firefly. That requires a slower...

    I’m not going to argue with you anymore. Don’t watch it if you’re sure you won’t like it. I really don’t care.

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    Who at Disney said KK screwed up Mando? She FIRED one of the central protagonists after most of the season had been written around her. Dave, Jon and George all pointed this out in explanation for season 3’s shortcomings. Have you watched Rebels? I’m curious if you even know what writing...

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    Mando season 3 was a terrible disappointment, but we’ve been given an explanation for that. That was KK doing her best to screw up SW. She’s a bigot, and hated Gina Carrano for her political opinions. Everyone around Gina liked her and offered what a pleasure it was to work with her, but KK...

    For those who want to know something of the sheer and utter brilliance of Rebels, and why we should expect Ahsoka to be the best Star Wars yet: View: https://youtu.be/e622QkAAH9g

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    Em, IIRC; Ahsoka was created by Dave Filoni for the Clone Wars and then ported over to Rebels. He’s been very clear that this new series picks up from Rebels. If you liked Ahsoka before, you’ll like her here. She’s still being written by her creator. And this is why I say, give it a chance...

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    So the majority opinion online is that the two characters I took to be Sith, Balen and Shin; are instead Dark Jedi assassins who work for Thrawn. If that’s true, it’s super important that Asoka doesn’t allow Balen to get away after gaining entry to the Vergence Scatter. Guess we’ll see.

    The Ignoble Death of Indiana Jones

    Wow. The numbers coming in are worse than anyone anticipated. KK and PWB must be agonizing. One projection I’ve seen off the current figures is it might make $400M and might not. That’s crazy.

    The Ignoble Death of Indiana Jones

    “We knew going in, fans were going to hate this; but we both agreed and said “who cares? Let’s just do it.” Speaking of killing off Indy’s son and divorcing him so he’s a broken man. So yeah, if you make something saying “who cares” about the audience, you can’t complain much when the...

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    One vid I watched a guy noted that Asoka fights the older Sith, and asked who fights the younger one. I can’t think of a reason why we shouldn’t expect Ezra Bridger to show up. He has a huge fan base. All the Rebels crew does. But yeah, Thrawn! Ever since the books fans have been waiting to...
