I vote for (or should it be "against") the sequels because they were just such an inconsistent mess. TFA turns our hero accomplishments to ashes and turns them into failures in an attempt to copy the winning fomrula of A New Hope. TLJ nails the failure of our heroes down even further, kicks out...

Violet-Blue-Green-Yellow-Orange-Red-Pink-White. I agree that Bob was a bit over-the-top problematic for such a high stakes / high precision heist. I mean, the chemist was really good, but it should have been possible to get someone without Bob. Especially if Ray had planning this for so long...

I agree that some of the humor felt a bit... lazy. But it still looks fun. Is there a way to cross-post or something news like this as forum posts in the Media section? That's were I kinda expected a discussion about the trailer, and I only noticed the news article by accident. (I admit, I...

When wizards go rogue, fans go rouge!

Well, some people shirk on their civil obligations! :p

A lot of technological advancements lead to people losing jobs, but new kind of jobs being created, often jobs that weren't even thought of before. That didn't necessarily help the person that lost their job, because they were not qualified for the newly born job and might never be. But overall...

Yes, but without the capitals and the exclaimation mark. Though I am not that fond of the strong water theme the trailer suggests. The Avatar didn't seem to be aquatic before, it feels a bit weird. But I guess it could be another impressive artistic creation of an alien worldscape, and the...

Well, there are apparently two variations of the story of Perseus vs Medusa, in one he uses the mirror (or rather, a shield polished enough to act as mirror) to look at her so she cannot petrify him, in the other he uses the mirror so she looks at herself and turns to stone.

No, I did, I was just being facetious with one of my problems with Boba Fett as a vehicle for having an important story arc for The Mandalorian being put in a different show. And I could imagine people in fact not having seen Boba Fett and they will be confused. It will just never feel quite...

Bacta Tanks, I don't know what you're talking about. But why is Grogu not with Luke? Wasn't bringing him to his people the big plot point last season? Seems a big spoiler if Luke brings him back during the season or something. But maybe they must do it because people wouldn't watch without...

Some people here and elsewhere wonder if Luthien might be a former Jedi (or even Sith). It's possible, but here is my reasoning why within Andor's more "grounded" feeling it would be wrong: The time for Jedi to save the day comes later, after the ordinary people have done the basics. The...

Hercules in Space! Also known as Andromeda. Arguably, until Sorbo took full control, it had a pretty neat story and setting, but when he drove away key writers it became less interesting... Never watched the final season, I think.

Brutiful! Did someone post the Andor 1975 fan TV intro yet?

It's disinformation to cover her money transfers. In the first episode that introduces Mon Mothma, she makes a point to call out her new driver as probable spy. If it was true, she'd try to talk about it without prying ears.

Kinda exactly what a fellow poster warns us: If you design a slavce race in your fiction, you open up the head space to allow that a sentient seeming being might just be acceptable as slave. This may be possible in fiction, it may be possible in a hypothetical future with machine intelligences...

I don't think anyone involved so far is a Jedi and will just take them at face value. I think putting former Jedi or Sith in at this point kinda undercuts the story, showing off how "normal" people deal with the Empire and the rebellion. And this episode was fantastic. Kino did know what he...

Hooray!

It might be just the kind of internal department jealosy and jurisdictional conflicts you might expect from a totalitarian bureaucracy where everyone fears that he's the next on the chopping black and needs some ace in a hole. The kind fo shenengians Dedra was dealing with, when the officer...

I guess I understand why you would write this. And that sound of prison doors closing over a view on the Imperial Standards cubicles...

That was a really nice season finale. Actually, in show canon, it seems that's how Elven dams seem to work. Or at least I presume the dam that opened with that little Sauron artefact and created Mordor's gloomy atmopshere was of Elven design. ;) Bear McCreary is at it again. So far I think I...
