I'll try it.  At least until Gravity Falls returns.

Most of it is your typical Saturday morning cartoon fare, so be warned.

Maybe I won't try it then.

Again, I find the last three episodes have quite a shift in tone with the introduction of Tarkin. The episodes until then felt like warm up.

Anyone else excited? Or at least curious. :P

With the Disney takeover, most Expanded Universe is out the window. IIRC, the canon is now the movies, The Clone Wars movie/series (including some stories that were developed for it and later released as comics), and Rebels.

I am glad that shortly after the KOTOR story was ruined Disney zapped it with their corporate magic.

If only they could do the same to the prequels :weep:

Well, the Expanded Universe has now been rebranded as "Legends."  :P

And it's not the first time stuff gets disregarded - happened to the old Marvel comics, too (though later comics occasionally paid homage to the old series), or Alan D. Foster's Splinter of the Mind's Eye.

Yes, I am into it.

Surely, even if it's just half as good as the first one, it's going to be brilliant.

I'm looking forward to the next season of "True Detective".

But I do wonder what, exactly, ties it to the first season.

I believe nothing but it being about true detectives.

Berkut

Yeah, the idea here is that each season is a separate story. There isn't a overall story arc or anything.

Mad Max reviews are starting to come out and they are brilliant. So pumped for it.

Mad Men is really going out with a whimper. Be relieved when it ends next week.
