I thought it worked out perfectly in the show. š¤·āāļø And yeah, we know Cassian is obsessed with stealing high tech Imperial equipment.
But i have the same problem with them i do with the DIsney trilogy they donāt look used universe. They look too new and shiny.
Iāve never understood this complaint about the prequels. Now, I think the art direction for the PT is definitely off in many regards; there shouldāve been a more retro-futuristic/fantasy aesthetic than what was presented. But being set before the dark times, things should look new and shiny.
āLived in universeā doesnāt mean everything has gone to hell. It just means the clothes donāt look like they were constantly brand new, the vehicles have never seen light of day before and the buildings look like they were just finished all in one minute.
And thatās how you can describe the PT aesthetics. Just laziness. Even the Jediās boots looked like they only just started wearing them. Boring lack of detail.
30 bucks says Ahsoka shows up. š
Just a lazy, unappealing title.
Yeah the song in the trailer was CRINGEā¦but the season looks fantastic. Why couldnāt they just put orchestral SW music in the trailer? Disney is soo tone deaf
Itās a trailer for people who havenāt seen Season 1, who arenāt Star Wars fans, to try to get them interested.
Yeah I got thatā¦still an awful choice. š¤·āāļø

This still isnāt going to save this franchise.
The Franchise is 46 years old and includes 12 films, 16 television shows, 110 video games, 380 novels, and nearly 1000 comic books (maybe more, Iām not too sure about my arithmetic). This far in, thereās something for everyone regardless of story preference, age, format, etc. No one thing can save it or sink it at this point. It doesnāt even need saving. Itās a product now, like potato chips. Sometimes they release a Lobster Roll (vile) and sometimes itās a Salt & Pepper (delicious).
As has long been my thought on the matter - watch what you like, ignore the rest. I canāt fathom why some fans still do battle with a franchise.
Oh, and one awesome 6-hour radio version of the original story. š
I wasnāt referring to itās deep pastā¦the last 4 Disney + SW shows have sank and sank in interest and viewership. Some people are still feeling the damage from the last 4 years and are hoping for something great to change. Iām not waiting on it, but there is alot of discussion online about it. Even I didnāt think I would have to watch soo much bad Star Wars the last 7 years but here we areā¦and youāve gotta watch to find out if itās good for you or not. š¤·āāļø
Speaks alot when everyone has been so let down and disappointed for the last 4 years that they can be elated over a new product thatās āfineā. This still isnāt going to save this franchise. Iām interested to see the numbers of viewers for this seriesā¦I imagine the interest is extremely low. At my job there are about 4 casual SW fans and they either havenāt heard of thisā¦didnāt know it was outā¦didnāt know what it was aboutā¦or just werenāt interested. Disney plus just increased itās monthly rate, pretty hard to hook people now with just āanother SW tv showā. š¤·āāļø
Rather than worry or even think about viewing figures, why donāt you just watch it for yourself (or donāt). Rather than be concerned with what the wider world is or isnāt enjoying, experience it for yourself, and if you enjoy it, good for you, if you donāt then thatās fine too.
Thanks for the lecture. We were just having a discussion and since you didnāt read furtherā¦I AM going to watch it tonight. So instead of ābeing concerned with the wider worldā of other commenters you could just not reply to everythingā¦or if you do āthatās fine too.ā š
Having said thatā¦hahaā¦my friend has Disney plus and Iām going to watch the two episodes tonight.

A film should work within itself regardless of what Episode it is or something. ROTS is quite competent at establishing their relationship and what is it that falls apart - ditto for Anakin!s relationship to PadmƩ. Not a surprise it was reviewed more positively than all other Lucas SW films upon release - with the exception of the original.
Well, establishing what āit isā and the audience actually experiencing and feeling itā¦are two different things. And I wouldnāt say Episode 3 does the job well considering Anakin and Obiwan separate on their own missions for a majority of the film. Obi-Wan isnāt even present during the whole āturnā and major plays that went down on Coruscant. Obi-Wan basically fights him just because heās on an assigned Jedi mission from Yoda to take out the āother halfā of the Sith duo situation. I think itās a stretch to say ROTS stands on its own. And these movies KNOW they are parts of a trilogy. Return of the Jedi doesnāt really stand on its own.
Cāmon back Andor! I need a breathe of fresh air since all the mediocrity that came after the first season.
Lest we forget, the movies absolutely didnāt BOTHER to tell us how the hell that lightsaber was found and brought back into the plot 30 years later. Remember that awful idea they had for the opening of TFA where after the crawl youād think you were seeing a giant spaceship, but it turns into a force perspective gag where it would reveal its Lukeās lightsaber from ESBā¦floating through space for 30 years with Lukeās severed hand still on it. Then it hits Jakkus atmosphere and the hand disintegrates but the lightsaber falls to the ground. And someone immediately picks it up. Just so dumb and awkward.
Who would have thought soo many of these directors would be so completely out of touch with making further stories and films?? Abrams talked about loving SW OT for years before there was a sequel trilogy and his work on Star Trek showed that heād rather be making SW films. How could he have started Episode 7 like that? Now when directors get on an IP and mention being āhuge fansā it makes me worry.
You want me to do homework, play every game, read every comic, and novel to understand your terrible movie, you failed.
Their goal is to make you consume product. From that perspective, theyāve succeeded.
Not if he didnāt buy any of the product. š
I was using the generic you, yāknow. š
The āRoyalā we.

To me personally, the two best movies out of the six are The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
Other movies I simply can not count.
Interestingā¦you cannot count original Star Wars '77?
TCWās commando droids are what the PTās battle droids shouldāve been.
That would absolutely have been better than the B1 droids. Stillā¦itās why I like the Umbara arc, it showed the Seperatists doing their own fighting against Republic armies and gave it more stakes. When every other Separatist planet just uses battle droids it makes the whole conflict just feel like The Terminator. Defeat the machines!
I liked the Umbara arcā¦it showed the gritty combat of the war with General Skywalker in the thick of it. Plus the human Umbarans with their āfighting gasā pumping through their helmets was WAY more captivating to see in battle than the idiotic battle droids. Battle droids in general kinda ruin the idea of the Clone Wars to meā¦especially with how stupid they are. Itās just ridiculous to think the SW galaxy was being threatened by spindly robots who were programmed to think and talk like the 3 stooges. When George decides he needs humor he NEVER knows where or how to put it in. š
Speaking of that, I feel like Iāve heard enough Temuera Morrison impression style dialogue to last a life time. I think thatās why I had trouble watching The Bad Batchā¦Iām just really over āthe clonesā and going through soo many ins and outs with them as a fan. Iāve got a couple of friends who grew up with the prequel era and they loved clones individually with a passion. You ever met a Star Wars fan whoās all time favorite SW character was Commander Cody?? I haveā¦and even he said The Bad Batch was nauseating with the all-out āNew Zealand variantā Clone stuff.
But yeah, just getting to know soo many clones and the Jedi emphasizing that they be individuals made it hard to just accept order 66. The whole āchipā thing is the only story device that worksā¦but that still doesnāt make it good at all. I mean, that chip could have been used WAY earlier on and with alot more effect than just shooting Jedi Generals. And why would you bother with dimwit volunteer Stormtroopers after having your own fully bred robot reacting army? The Bad Batch didnāt sell me on why they were replacedā¦or why Clones arenāt seen all over the galaxy after those events. Youād think youād see one of those guys every week on any planet. Oh well.
And there was the whole problem of Lucas writing in the dialogue āThe Sith have been extinct for a millennium.ā I donāt think anyone was guessing it had been 1,000 freaking years of no conflict with dark side usersā¦itās really a stretch to portray it like that already. If Ki-Adi had said āThe Sith have been extinct for over 100 yearsā it just would have been more interesting and a better way to set events for the EU.
I think the old Tales of the Jedi comics did the thing weāre talking about. It felt like older tech and clothingā¦a.more interesting visual style than Jedi robes and Tie Fighter looking ships from the KOTOR style era.
Reminder that George Lucas commissioned several nude twiālek paintings.
I for one wouldāve appreciated Rian Johnsonās quote about Ben and Rey touching being taken a lot more literally, but they obviously couldnāt in family-friendly Star Wars.
Haha, well I know George was obsessed with his Twiāleks but I never heard of him commissioning ānude paintingsā of them. You have any evidence for that?
Yeah, Lucasā spin on Vader even works for his weird midiclorian fixation. Itās like āWell he lost his arms and legs,so thereās not enough midiclorians running through his body nowā¦so heās less powerfulā. Which isnāt great at all.
Thereās a reason why these things are debatedā¦because I was there opening day for TPM and nobody understood the crawl or were excited. Thereās also a reason why the OT didnāt have soo much question about the events during those years. You donāt watch ANH OR ESB and go āwait, what?ā constantlyā¦like the prequels, sequels and the majority of Disney+ offerings. When itās written tight and cohesive the audience isnāt pulled out by questioning characters making stupid decisions or dialogue while also being confused what the single plot is doing.
Do you have some examples of the bad arguments? I can see how a lot of it can be less-than-convincing for some.
I saw them once ages ago, I just remember thinking their arguments were a whole lotta nothing so of course none of them stuck in my head.
Nah, the Plinkett reviews had excellent presentation and idiotic arguments.
Thatās bait. š
No, I can assure you I am dead serious.
Well, if you canāt even remember anythingā¦what are we talking about? Hah
