    The reveal was good and I generally like The Mandalorian overall but it's a shame it's bringing in Jedi's and lightsabres and stuff now. I kinda wanted it to be a separate thing within the Star Wars universe. I am sick of the action scenes of countless stormtroopers being mindlessly executed too. If Mando wasn't completely indestructible it might have a sense of threat. Like, that bit on the truck in the Burr episode when he didn't have his armour was the best action scene all season I think.

    I think the Jedi and lightsaber stuff will be kept in the spin-off series Ahsoka. Luke was the only choice that made sense and got his Vader at the end of Rogue One moment. I guess s3 will be about how Din gets out of having the Darksaber and there will be minimum Jedi stuff. I do like that in The Mandalorian the Force and Jedi stuff is more myth and old folktales than an actual thing. As it should be for most of the beings in the galaxy.

    Part of me thinks Britain just running down the clock for biggest disaster capitalist shock.

    Oh, I am sure there are people who are going to make a killing on the ensuing chaos.

    New book interview w/ Lucas where he revealed Darth Maul & Darth Talon were the original villains of his sequel trilogy.

     

    Then why he kill Darth Maul in the first prequel movie? George is such doofus, I think he got very lucky when he made A New Hope and the rest of the OT. The stars aligned.

    can someone explain how it's possible to see how bad everything is and still think liberal democracy is the solution?

    Lets not look at the US as some shining example of it. It's a mix of advanced states and some that are closer to developmental states. The governmental system is also outdated and isn't really able to do fundamental reforms. It's an empire in decline.

  5. Boss Level, an action Groundhog day sort of movie. Frank Grillo as the protagonist and Mel Gibson as the villain. Watchable movie and reads like a live-action GTA-type of game.

    i'm thinking about watching this tonight. this picture alone sold the film for me

    Is Will Smith only doing vanity movies for his kids nowadays?

  6. The second season of The Mandalorian is delightful. It is exactly how a nerdy teen me would have liked a Star Wars adventure. Has me smiling with nostalgic nerd joy. And dropping those tasty EU nuggets all over the place. This is the series that is keeping Star Wars on life support while the rest of Disney figures out what they want to do with the property.

  7. Some individual GOP members saying Trump should just quit isn't going to wash the Trump stink off from that party. They did not just touch the poop, they've smeared themselves in it.

  8. Queen's Gambit got recommended to me by a couple of sources and it indeed was worth the watch.  Good paced story with good characters held up with strong performances. Taylor-Joy with well deserved accolades. Always good to see Bill Camp, although in a very limited role but playing a character that set the whole thing in motion.
