Welcome to Thunderdome

I misread that as Endor at first...

The show's ok. It's Star Wars, but it's a heist/"government is massive and corrupt" movie, first. Better than the boba fett show.

I always think of this show as "And/Or."

Oh, I thought it was done when the heist was done. You can never tell any more how many episodes a show would have. I look and then BAM another 2 queued up.

This show feels like grownup star wars. No jedi, no sith, just people getting sick of an evil government. It's almost jarring when they mention something you recognize like "Palpatine."

There's at least one gifted writer on this show. Skaarsgard gives a "What have I sacrificed?" monologue that was inspired.

I bet a dollar the same writer wrote the funeral speech.

This might be the best star wars thing since............. ever. S1 is done now.

And it has basically no audience thanks to Kathleen Kennedy's mismanaging of the franchise. That's why Disney has made it available on Hulu, ABC, and elsewhere. They're desperate to win back Star Wars fans.

Call me crazy, but they could try apologizing for the way they negatively attacked the fans over the new trilogy, wipe it from canon, and remove Kathleen Kennedy. That would certainly win back some fans. As it stands too many former SW fans feel like Disney told them "we don't want you as fans", so they left. Kennedy might be an exceptional producer, but she sucks as the decision maker for a studio.

I'm pretty sure the last 5 years of popular culture have been telling the people who supported the previous 40 years of it how bad they are. Doesn't seem like a good strategy, but we'll see if it pays off for them.

Every time I see the original title of this thread

Yeah, I always see code when I hear the word.
