But unlike most star wars, everyone around him actually seems to genuinely respect him as a being with real feelings. They try to comfort him, spend time with him, it's really touching. Actually, of all the things I was impressed with watching Andor, making me really feel something for that little droid was probably the most impressive. I mean, I felt so bad for him. Poor little guy. Hell, even the K2 units that jailed Cassian had some personality in the minute or two we saw them.

The funniest part of that fight sequence was when Shin just threw him into a wall so the show could set up the 1v1 Just completely out of nowhere and didn't make much sense with what's been on screen for the past 5 minutes

Between Chopper, B2EMO, and BD-1 and Huyang (and arguably others) the Disney era has been great for droids being treated as actual characters and people.

Ezra picking up a blaster rifle and using it effectively made me think that force users would probably exceptional marksmen and don't use blasters as a way of self restraint. Like, it would be so easy to gunkata these fools but instead I need to make sure that each death blow is meaningful and required or something along those lines. And on the other side, Sith probably don't because theres no artistry or display of power in just blasting fools.

They had to close a gun range in my area because the concentration of vaporized, aerosolized lead was n times above the legal limit at the bus stop across the street maybealabia posted:For those non Rebels watchers*, Ezra's first lightsaber that he built was both a saber and a blaster  ah, the blaber

Yeah, the action choreography is much better in those fights than in the throne room in ep8. But I'd just lost interest emotionally and stopped focusing. And I'm someone who watches hundreds of trashy action movies

Timestamped 3m22s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmyF5ge6SQU&t=202s I remember this because at the time of that cinematic release I was thinking Jedi should do that more often in the movies lol.

Has C-3PO always been known as “Threepio” or is this a recent thing? I know “Threepio” is literally 3PO written out but I mean people specifically calling him “Threepio” in writing and not 3PO or C-3PO or C3PO etc.

I think I read that tonights episode is only 42 minutes ... isn't this the finale? That's maybe 38 minutes at most of stuff with the intro and credits. Maybe 35. E: https://twitter.com/Cryptic4KQual/status/1708086543263338523 apparently theyve been accurate with most

I know why they do it for theatres' sakes but it will always be weird to me that runtimes include the full credits. Though I suppose in the age of MCU end-credit scenes it can actually be more reflective of a viewer's experience.

Theres no way they are wrapping this all up. They haven't announced a season 2, so is the plan just to shotgun all this stuff at us and then wait for other D+ shows to resolve it? Also, please renew.

Wait last weeks episode was the 2nd to last?? And it feels like the actual plot is just barely starting? What an insanely paced show. Glad we had like 4 filler episodes about decoding a map and arguing about who's the blame for its extremely predictable theft before starting the actual show.

Prevailing rumor (maybe it's not a rumor anymore, not sure) is that there is supposed to be a Dave Filoni directed movie to wrap up the Mando-verse. I guess we'll see. Normally when I see "[insert director] to helm a new, unnamed Star Wars film project" I mostly tune out, but Filoni has hinted at this project several times in interviews before the strikes began. Also makes sense - one film budget is inherently going to be way less expensive than two or three series with the production values of Ahsoka.
