In how many projects is Waititi involved at the moment? He is doing stuff for Marvel (directing the new Thor movie), DC (acting in the new Suicide Squad), his own projects (reading now about him I just discovered that he's directing a comedy about Michael Fassbender being the coach of the American Samoa football team  :lol: ), now this Star Wars stuff... I'm getting some post-GOT Benioff & Weiss vibes from him at the moment, putting his fingers in every pie there is.

Yeah, except unlike those assholes, he's actually followed through on his myriad projects. Also, the schedule isn't that bogged down. He has his projects, sure, but the spacing on them (his SW film likely due for 2023 release) seems fairly normal. Katmai could probably comment further.

I do hope so, I wouldn't want him to spread himself too thin and be a victim of his own success.

Also, in a fortuitous connection, I just saw that Mark Hamill will appear in next week's What we do in the Shadows episode, portraying an ancient vampire, rival of Laszlo.  :lol: Apparently Hamill is a huge What we do in the Shadows fan.  :)

Could it be, after decades of dross (except Clone Wars), we shall see a new Golden Age of Star Wars??

Seems unlikely, but isn't impossible if they put the proper talent to work.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I saw Ep 9.

Why did everyone hate the movie?

My favorite moment was hearing the voice of Asohka & Kanaan.

Alan Tudyk has the best MayThe4th tweet :lol:

This inmediately came to my mind.  :lol:


Closer to home than that (for Tudyk) ;)
It's a reference to an episode of Firefly, the first one, maybe.

It's his opening line from Firefly, yes.

It's been a loooooong time since I saw Firefly, as if I'd remember any lines.  :P

"Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal" has become reasonably popular amongst geeks. :P

This is the scene referenced - it's right after the Civil War intro of the original pilot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znxFrgql5dc

It's very Joss Whedon. :P

Btw, Alan Tudyk has a new show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIlo-avH9rU

Unpopular opinion, I didn't really enjoy Firefly that much.  :P

Firefly was one of the rare instances where I re-binged all episodes immediately after watching it the first time.

The main reason it drew me in was that initially it felt very much like what I would have expected a Han Solo TV show to feel like. Wild west in space, hijinks, silly dialogue ...

More importantly, if you didn't like the show, that's fine. You probably also liked something that I thought was crap. :)

If you don't like Joss Whedon's style of dialogue and writing, I would steer clear. In my personal circle of friends, many people who liked Buffy/Angel, also loved Firefly. Personally, I've not watched those shows, so can't comment.
