I’m sure he’s been wanting to say that for a long while. Mine was See, each of those bits made sense, given everything that’s happened and was shown this season and in previous ones.- 1337 replies

So, half the story seemed to be dumb set-up for that “shocker” ending. Anyone who’s somewhat familiar with the comic book stories won’t be too surprised. But again, it doesn’t exactly make sense from this show’s perspective. I don’t know; cooler heads should have prevailed.- 1337 replies

You also have to remember two things: 1). Bandai first showed this prototype way back in 2019. 2). You have some very passionate fans of the YF-21. We have some very strong opinions when it comes to the bastard love child. And Bandai’s hubris with some design choices does get folks “talking” (ranting bloody hell murder for some of us! 😅).

Key point that needs to be made is that Dooku and Ahsoka's stories were enhanced by what was portrayed in Tales of the Jedi. You see why Dooku became disillusioned with both the Republic and the Order. And it adds some depth to his character and his story. You see exactly why Ahsoka was able to survive the initial Order 66 attack, adds a touching master-apprentice moment with Anakin, and adds a silly (yet sad) Easter egg moment with one of the clones. We also get to see how she went from a broken, mourning state at the end of Clone Wars to the person willing to get back into the fight in Rebels. With Tales of the Empire, they're okay stand-alone stories, but they never reach that next level. I see what they were trying to do with the stories, but I wish they had focused on other more interesting aspects and relationships/interactions for Morgan Elsbeth and Barriss Offee.

I knew I heard Bastion’s voice from somewhere else! He’s the same voice actor for Hector from Netflix Castlevania. Clearly, the X-Men need to rethink their strategy and find a gothic, loli honeypot to take him down. 😉- 1337 replies

The Acolyte - Disney Plus Star Wars Series
Mog replied to jvmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
You would think All these franchises need a “Remover of Stupid” to go over these scripts and plots. -
One of my absolute faves from the LOTR trilogy. Rest easy, redeemed king.

The Acolyte - Disney Plus Star Wars Series
Mog replied to jvmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
A real Rebels pilot squadron show (with Paul Sun-Hyung Lee FINALLY saying, “Okay, see you!”). A droid squad series (like I’ve jokingly mentioned way back on another Star Wars thread). An actual underworld series where the main character is allowed to do “bad” things (though Andor kinda dances on the fringes of that idea). A comedy show with some stormtroopers (think that silly bit with the two biker scouts that had to hold onto Grogu). I think the main key for any new series is to step away from the Force for a LONG while. I still want to see what happens with the characters from Ahsoka and that time period. But that’s it. Also, would it kill Disney and Hasbro to coordinate so we don’t have to wait so damn long to get figures in the 3.75” scale? -

Looks like I found a pic of one of my old desk set-ups (back when my kiddos were still babies): Eagle-eyed observers can see nine GI Joes figures that used to take up a significant chunk of desk real estate. And if you look really hard, you’ll find the old o-ring figures of Version 2 Snake Eyes and Version 2 Storm Shadow.

^^Or for about half that $380 price, you could get a far superior Legioss or Ride Armor (assuming the USD to Yen exchange rate is still low)!

The Acolyte - Disney Plus Star Wars Series
Mog replied to jvmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Well, how many fetch-quests were there in those first two seasons of Mando? Think we won't hear the groans if a fetch-quest (or two or four) pops up in Season 4? It was something fresh and new those first two seasons. But now we're starting to see the patterns and the proverbial seams. So with The Acolyte, is there supposed to be some sort of new Phantom Menace that puts the Jedi on their heels? (pun definitely intended) The fatigue isn't just for viewers that have all this content to compare the new stuff to. It's also the writers and creatives: they gotta bring their A game, because they can't spam their usual tropes or story beats and because we know what absolute, stand-out Star Wars can look like. -
^^Well, the first three eps focus on Morgan Elsbeth, the beskar spear wielding lady in Mandalorian and one of the antagonists in Ahsoka (who has a few kickass fight scenes in the finale). They try to give her some backstory, but the only interesting bits were her interactions with the Empire's military brass. Kinda wish they had flesh out a few other things about the character, rather than some of the stuff we saw on-screen. Other than a quick fight with Greivous, not much saber-wielding in those first three eps. . . . Can't say the same for the last three eps though.

Mog replied to jvmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
If they do go back to the Old Republic era, I'd be worried about which characters they could screw up. The fatigue is real. And the stories just aren't hitting with the same "oomph" as before. Bad Batch ended adequately. And Tales of the Empire was pretty underwhelming. They need to take time to marinade the stories a little more. Honestly, they're getting dangerously close to the point where Star Trek was around the time Voyager and Enterprise were airing. A lot of content is already out there, and the new stuff is either not taking enough risks or seems like rehashes/repeats of older, better told stories. -
^^Nice work there, @pengbuzz. Figure to change the thread a bit and show off an "old" boat: So many cool vehicles from this line!
