Is the history and culture of the planet Mandalore called the mandalorelore?

So, Mando is going on a stupid quest just because of his stupid creed?

– From now on you should never ever remove your pants
– But, but… how do I pee?
– This is the way

On Kitbashed - The Origins of Star Wars there’s a comprehensive essay about Valérian & Laureline.

As some of you may know, several elements and ideas within the Star Wars saga are quite similar to those originating in this series.

Are the apparent similarities just surface level ideas or seem like more than just a coincidence?

The official site of Jean-Claude Mézières has some comparisons. I’m not convinced, they’re very superficial to me.

more cheese in Star Wars!

Don’t forget the crackers!

Snoke is a hologram not a force projection.

Speaking of overrated shows, I just started watching the first episode of Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Most of the jokes are silly rather than funny. I just don’t get surreal humour. To me it feels like it goes into r/iamveryrandom territory. I much prefer Fawlty Towers as its humour is more “structured” if you catch my drift.

It’s very English and very half a century old. If you’re not into non-sensical humour, you won’t get it I think.

You’re a fascist. (Did I hit you hard enough?)

Cool bike girl only makes me more interested in this series. Plus I feel George Lucas would probably really approve of her bike.

(She’s played by Sophie Thatcher by the way)

So, as it seems we already saw Black Krrsantan, is this girl Dr. Aphra? Or does it not fit with the timeline? (I haven’t read the comics)

(Jedit: checking with Wookieepedia, Aphra would be 33 at the time Boba was Daimyo. Or it’s a flashback, and it’s why she looks so young)

I’ve got a bad feeling about this!

I wonder who this is in the new trailer above?

The speeder bike looking like a scooter, especially a Mods inspired one, with all the mirrors, could turn rather ridiculous…

And the gift is an awful entry level turntable? Yikes.

I see them on Amazon (without the Lucasfilm logo) for around $70. I dig it. Wish they’s send me one.

The case may be cool but the mechanical part (the actual turntable) is utter plastic crap. (as seen on the Techmoan YouTube channel)

And the gift is an awful entry level turntable? Yikes.

Directors that made a movie named Monster(s) should have a Star Wars movie whose name starts with Rogue!

What’s wrong with Quantic Dream?

Workplace harassment charges

(Besides I’ve played their latest game and hated it: boring and pretentious. Maybe they’ll have a better writer for this one)

I think they are from the Ewoks movies?

Announcement is still up on the official site. If it had been cancelled this would have been deleted I think.
