C-Euro posted:I wonder which IP will be the one that sends the revival/reboot/rehash trend in TV and film back to hell where it belongs, or if it will merely be a casualty of the larger streaming media collapse that people keep warning about. Revivials/reboots/rehashes have always been around and always will be. Like, since the early 90s were mentioned, there were a bunch of movies and shows then that were based on stuff from the 60s (The Untouchables and The Fugitive probably being the two best known examples).

Pretty sure I had two or three books from it growing up, but the only thing I can remember about the entire Animorphs universe is they have to change back in a certain amount of time or else they're stuck like that, which is why one of them is a permanent hawk or eagle or something.

Andor is so good it has a random three episode side story in the middle of the season that could be its own show. It’s worth watching for the final episode. Turns out 300 extras, practical costumes and sets, live audio and minimal CG can make something really incredible who knew.

One of my new years resolutions was to do an art and I am pretty happy how it came out. Just recently got it hung after a mishap where it was dropped and all the pieces fell off. I wanted to do stained glass but cursory research lead to me noping right the hell out of that. But hey, I have a jig saw, I can just do cut wood instead of glass, and stain it instead of painting to preserve some of that character.  The stains bled a little but and the pieces weren't perfectly cut but it makes me happy to look at.

Andor is the best Star Wars since the original movie and The Empire Strikes Back and was awesome.

From the last thread:Blowjob Overtime posted:We have four or so episodes of Andor left to go, and I love it. Other than Andor, I've seen Episodes 1 - 7 and the Mandalorian, so not really invested in Star Wars stuff in any meaningful way, but it's what I want to watch when we sit down in the evening. We finished it and my only complaint with Andor is that there isn't more Andor for me to watch.

That’s awesome! I don’t think I can point out that any of the pieces aren’t perfect even after you said so. Most of the framed things in our house are photos I took. There’s something really nice about something being yours instead of having that exact same IKEA Brooklyn Bridge picture as everyone else.

It's a reasonable reaction and the well has been so poisoned by drek that it's hard to convince people that no, this time it's different. Andor is watchable even for people who have never seen any star wars. Knowing what else is going on in this universe adds context but isn't necessary. This is a story that could have been made as just an SF setting without the star wars brand and still worked just as well. It's intense, and bleak, and compelling, and extremely relevant to the real world today. There's no goddamn light sabers, there's no slapstick, there's no set piece space battles, there's no vaguely racist-ish caricatures. The show engages fully with the moral implications of what's going on and doesn't pull its punches.

Also the empire is portrayed as a soulless corporate entity that only operates at the macro lvl. The employees are all stabbing each other in the back and abusing amphetamines. It rules.

Yeah, Andor is only really a Star Wars show in terms of aesthetic (Stormtroopers look like Stormtroopers etc.). The subject matter is a lot more grounded than other SW stuff. Very much a political drama set in space vs a Star Wars story.Salvor_Hardin posted:One of my new years resolutions was to do an art and I am pretty happy how it came out.

You didn't drop it, you sac'd it for three mana of any color  FizFashizzle posted:It’s very clearly divided up into four 3 episode set pieces with a lot of other things going on around it. I like to think that I have pretty deep Star Wars knowledge, but I have no idea what this fan service seen is unless you're talking about the couple of scenes where Luthen and Saw Gurrera are chopping it up, but even that didn't really feel like fan service (I also haven't gotten around to watching the final episode so it could be in there)

Pron on VHS posted:alright,,,,,I was unable to find Gaunts Ghosts at a bookstore near me but I did find Eisenhorn book 1 XENOS which is also written by Dan. That's a really good series, with a ton of different settings. Imagine James Bond as a Spanish Inquisitor, whose "ends justify the means" mentality devolves so low he summons Satan to fight for the church's behalf

87 acres is kind of nuts, I classify anything over 8k sqft as pretty big. I did not like Mandalorian very much and did not even bother to watch the Obi Wan or Boba Fett series, and I was a huge star wars fan. If you talked to me 20 years ago I would have been very surprised that I did not watch every Star Wars thing the second it came out.
