Star Wars Megathread

[The Minsky Moment]

Sigh, very dissapointed that fucking Luke showed up.

First of all, it makes no sense. They are talking about Baby Yoda being super important, and he ends up with THE primary character in a story arc that has been done to death, yet we've never heard of him before? How does that make any sense?

But more importantly, once again, the writers lack imagination. A universe of 10,000 planets with trillions of sentient beings, and it has to be fucking Luke who strolls in. At least they weren't on Tattooine. The SW universe is apparently about the size of a high school campus.

Just got through it...
I get your beef but it was telegraphed from parsecs away.  The kid makes contact with a powerful Jedi who is not AT.  There aren't many candidates in the SW universe for that position at that time. If you have a problem with Skywalker ex machina, then nonology era Star Wars may not be your thing.

Heh, just noticed that the bounty hunter ship that shows up in an early CW episode where the Jedi team up with a group of with bounty hunters to help some villagers, is the same model as the Razor Crest.

Ah, the Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven episode. Also, an early appearance by Hondo Ohnaka.

And yeah, the gunship has a very similar design to the Razor Crest:

Ah, that's a much clearer shot of the ship than what you get in the episode. It's not *that* similar then (but certainly the Crest was inspired by it).

Or they had a common point of inspiration.

The first High Republic book is out. Star Wars Explained seems to like it a lot, so I look forward to get into it.

I'm still midway through the X-Wing series, I love it!

Does it explain why the galaxy banned cannabis and brought this glorious period to its end?

Who is AT?

Who is AT?

Asohka Tano, the first Jedi we met in Mandalorian.

[Eddie Teach]

Oh right.

Lovely 1 hour video of Alex (Star Wars Explained) and Paul Sun-Hyung Lee nerding out about Star Wars:

Well, mostly it's Paul nerding out, he does like 90% of the talking. It's so great how exited and enthusiastic he is.

WTF. Just saw ROTJ. They changed the Ewok celebration song.

So, the godzilla episodes. Not Clone Wars' finest hour.

Yeah, they were quite bad. Have you seen the Shadow Virus episodes yet? It was cheesy, but I liked Michael York as OTT totally not German mad scientist.
