Just wanna make an appreciation post for the aspect ratio opening up during the krayt battle. I had to rewind it during that part to watch it again because the transition was executed perfectly. I remember the same feeling during The Hunger Games Catching Fire when the AR transitioned to full IMAX at the part where Katniss rose up into the arena during the countdown. Are there any other movies or shows that have done the same thing? It's a pretty effective filmic technique to indicate poo poo's about to get real. Love that.

You want to see someone have fun with aspect ratios go watch Transformers: The Last Knight. Bay did not give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck about ratio so you end up with scenes where you get 3 separate aspect ratios just taking turns one after another.

I’m not exaggerating here either:

You can notice the 3 ratios they alternate throughout right at the start.

One of my favorite aspects of this show is just how hosed the ship gets with each episode. I fully expect it to be just the hyperdrive engine by the end of the season.

From what I have learned from various Star Wars shows, the Mon Calamari are supposed to be renowned shipbuilders. Which made the patch-job that one guy did on Mando's ship all the funnier to me because it was such absolute poo poo.

Like, why did he even need to drape the seats with fish nets? The seats were one of the few things that weren't damaged. No reason, just throw it in there with the rope and seaweed and whatever the hell.

Dude’s probably an actual good builders but the ship was in such terrible shape AND Din paid so little for “repairs” dude just went to town on it in the shittiest way possible.

Yaddle was 100% around the whole time. All throughout the Clone Wars. Ahsoka met her multiple times. The thing is, Yaddle is aggressively boring. Nobody remembers her. Ever. Hell, even y’all forgot her three episode arc in Clone Wars’ second season.

Poor Yaddle.

This reminds me of a one-shot X-men story where they tell the story of a mutant who’s mutant power is that everyone immediately forgets about him so he goes through various arcs doing clutch save the day things and no one ever notices or remember.

In-game. Unreal engine can be insanely good and for as lovely as it is, Frostbite creates some incredible visuals in Battlefront 2.

I don't read the books or anything, so I'm probably behind, but why are so many people itt talking about Ezra working with Thrawn, known fascist dictator and mass murderer? Why the gently caress would anybody want to see some kind of redemption story for that bastard? He may be a great villain, story wise, but he deserves the same end as Mussolini.


Also, RIP Dave Prowse.

Wouldn’t even be the first time Rebels do a “enemies forced to work together to survive a dangerous situation”

Man, what a fantastic episode, but I'm begging you Lucasfilm, please stop working with transphobes.


Almost all of the Rosario Dawson stuff ended up being straight up dropped against her, including the transphobe stuff. Not settled or buried, but dropped, which I feel says a lot. There's some stuff with the altercation between the person and Rosario's mom that's still moving forward so there was actually a fight. Dawson has also been a big proponent and supportive of the LBGT community for a long rear end time.

It's also annoying as poo poo to try to actually find more info on this because outside of the furor back when the allegations were first made last year there's barely been as much follow-up on the charges being dropped and more information coming out that seem to back Dawson's side of things.

Both cartoons seemed like they started out with a much younger target audience and changed gears when they got their ratings demographic feedback.

Clone Wars starting with that dumb movie following a stupid padawan no one wanted or cared for instead of being a Anakin and Obi Wan war show.

To the point of the discussion, I think they didn't know where to land on those things early on (assuming a younger demographic?), but to me they caught on and got some nice arcs.

And every sci fi show seems to have those goofy "aside" episodes. The drat holodeck episodes in Star Trek leap out at me, but I think every show has them.

Yeah, you don't give a spear to a character portrayed by an actor who trained for months to fight with a spear on another famous fantasy show and then not have him fight with it. ...Then again the last four years of popular media in general have been one boneheaded disappointment after another, so who knows, maybe they'll pull a Game of Thrones and have, I dunno, Cara kill Gideon with it because Mando's to obvious a guess.

Would explain why Ahsoka wasn't wearing her white robes in 'The Jedi' episode too, among other things. I dig that storytelling choice.

She is on concept art during the credits so they obviously toyed with the idea. I’d take a screenshot but Disney apparently locked that poo poo down.
