I haven’t had a chance to watch the whole thing, but I’ve watched about half so far and I quite enjoy his insights. Since I’m Catholic, I obviously disagree with certain points, but I always find history fascinating and I appreciate that he doesn’t utterly discount the reliability of Christian sources in constructing his history.
Not sure if it’s been shared on here, but DUST is an awesome YT channel. It has sci-fi shorts from a variety of creators. Some are demos for larger projects; others are fully polished videos. But there’s a lot of neat stuff: https://www.youtube.com/@watchdust

Large language model. Like Chat GPT.
Amazing.
Happy Birthday to George Walton Lucas Jr. Happy 81st Birthday.
I do hope George someday relents and releases the originals. or at least allows Disney to do so.
He’s 81 already? It makes sense, but man, time flies.
Huh.
When I clicked I did not expect to end up on the official Star Wars channel! LOL
Interesting, I’d never heard of that.
Wow, what a year! Glad you’re doing OK now and welcome back.
I think your prison sentence expired. As did this thread, apparently.
Same here in Canada, along with fewer cloudy days. It’s nice to have some sunlight again!
Along those lines, remove the whole subplot about Darth Vader being Luke’s father and instead focus on the relationship between Vader and C-3P0. The big revelation is now:
“Obi-Wan never told you what happened to C-3P0’s father.”
“He told me enough. He told me you killed him!”
“No, I am his father!”
Even better, just replace Luke with 3P0 for any scenes involving Vader.
I think that’s accurate. It is for me, anyway. I was waiting to see what people thought of the whole thing before investing my time in it, and because it is more explicitly a kids show (even more than things like Bad Batch, it seems), I’m immediately less interested in it for that reason. Quite simply, I’m not the target audience.
Also, a big incentive for me to watch shows in general is if people in my social circle are talking about it. Since Skeleton Crew hasn’t gotten much hype, it’s low priority for me, since there’s no reason really to watch it as it’s coming out.
Yeah, you’re actually still in a dream loop. You might never get out, Bingowings. Sorry about it.
Wow, sorry to hear that. Up here in Canada, people were praying for you guys at church today. The photos I’ve been seeing are horrific.
Well, better to do it on a forum where you’re anonymous than all over social media.
In the right hands, it makes a difference. And so far, Andor seems to be in the right hands (unlike, say, The Acolyte).
I have no problem with a lot of money being spent on Andor. You can see the results. Unlike some of the other shows we’ve been getting.
Glad to hear it!
No need to worry about making me feel judged! If I’m going to bring up my religion all the time, it would be kind of silly to get offended about people disagreeing with me.
I can understand. I’ve been in that mindset (or at least a similar one–I can’t read your thoughts), so I don’t blame you at all. I just know how great it’s been to rediscover my faith (and discover how many misconceptions I had about it), so it’s hard to resist throwing it out there at random passersby.
But whatever you believe or do, I wish you well, and I’m truly happy to hear at least some things are looking up for you.
…Is that good news? I hope so.
God hasn’t given up on you. He’s just respecting your choices.
Shoot. Now when I don’t see someone, I just assume they’re sticking to other parts of site, but I’m sorry to hear that’s not the case. Hopefully he’s doing alright.
I’m very sorry to hear that, Mike. I wish I knew what to say.
I know I say this a lot in this thread, but I might as well give you your annual reminder to give Jesus a try, since I truly believe it’s the only thing that will make you really happy. It’s not necessarily the message you want right now, but it’s what I’ve got.
That’s a good perspective. As someone who’s pretty much grown up with the MCU, and then again with several years in a row of Star Wars movies, I easily forget that that isn’t normal.
Very cool. I’m really happy the show is bringing in people like that. It does so much to contribute towards its believability and realism.
