    Hey thanks @Big s that’s nice to hear. My 1 year anniversary of building models is coming up on the 17th. I have made some progress along the way, but I’m still very much a noob compared to most everyone here. I’m here to soak up all the sage advice I can get. I figure I just need to keep building a bunch and challenging myself. Oh and have fun.

    In all fairness, even the cartoons (esp. The Clone Wars) make it very clear that even in-story Mandalorian warrior culture is considered insanely toxic and self-destructive at best by anyone who's not in one of their feuding warrior cults. WRT the ignored epiphany from the end of season two of The Mandalorian, it probably doesn't help that the only survivors of Mandalore are the crazies. The reasonable folks got nuked. Fans just tend to... overlook... that little detail because Mandalorians are very action figure-friendly. The series as a whole is a direct sequel to a cartoon... it doesn't excuse the cartoon logic, but it explains why the writers fell into that trap in the first place.

    Bluefin finally sent me replacement part, except it’s a nice surprise. Instead of sending me a replacement antenna and fins, they sent me the entire valk instead. They put the valk in the plastic tray and sent it in a shipping box. Yes, the antenna and the fins on the replacement valk were all good. Props to Bluefin. It took a looong time but they delivered.

    And it hasn't been published on either.

    "Reportedly" I don't trust click bait fake news till its been verified by a reputable site like Variety or Hollywood Reporter.

    I rather enjoyed the Patterson cut of this, there were some things that kind of bummed me out cause there's some story elements that complete vanish, and scenes, overall pacing, but it wasn't bad at all. It's pretty much the only one of his stuff I've watched, I haven't checked out Kenobi or the Boba Fett two parter at all.

    I wonder if the buildings surrounding it were removed/ relocated somehow?

    Personally I still rather enjoy Rebels, I mean for me it's Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch, Tales of the Jedi, Underground, Droids, Ewok's, Visions.................then Resistance (see what i did there?) They just have different tones and restrictions to what they can do and budgets and broadcasting compared to streaming services and live action. But I still like it. Overall though I've absolutely adored this season, if anything I love LOVE L O V E the set designs, the backgrounds, the atmosphere, the overall esthetics being used compared to the first season and overall the live action shows in general. The odd thing though is when the Senate building is shown....in the prequels it was felt like it was smacked dab in the middle of a giant city, almost swallowed up. But in many shots of Andor, it's the complete opposite. I'm not sure if I'm articulating the differences accurately, but like lets say in Andor's version of area, it's like I'm looking at the Apple campus, very white, very open, modern, no buildings in sight. It's sort of odd considering Courscant is just one giant towering city of buildings and skyscrapers and speeders and ships.

    Holy cow, Elizabeth Dulau, who plays Luthen's assistant Kleya, was hired into the role right after she graduated from drama school. Andor was her first on-screen role. She's been fantastic.

    That's from the interview. It goes on saying how they tried to make everything work together. For that I say they didn't need to pay lip service to established canon. If bulldozing over canon makes your story better. Go right ahead. Star War was first live action. When it is appropriate retell key events in live action they should. I'm not saying Filoni, and his cartoons are that bad. They are good for what they are. What I'm saying is what works for one type of medium doesn't work for another. With a New Hope we have that Movie, a Radio Play, a Comic Book, a Novel and Video game all telling the same story. Each of them in their own unique way. Some do it better than others. With Movie being the best version. Since that's how it was intended. There are different requirements for what makes a good cartoon and what makes a good TV show. Filoni doesn't believe that or is simply too attached to his own creations. Everything doesn't have to be like Andor. I enjoyed Skeleton Crew, and it was nothing like Andor. Everything doesn't have to link back to cartoons. Third season of the Mandalorian really suffered in my opinion because of fan service to Filoni's clone wars. Lessons we learned in the season One and Two of the Mandalorian was that Din's clan was toxic cult. For the good of his adopted son, he would have to reject them. All that was ignored because in the cartoon a bunch Mandalorian running around doing things the Mandalorian way is super cool. When Mandalorian culture is shown in something closer to real life you think, these people need therapy. We then have Ahsoka. Where they solve interpersonal character conflicts the same way they would in a cartoon. I look at their solutions and think no that doesn't solve your issues. Filoni, if you want to write for grownups you will need to put away all cartoon DVDs back on the shelf. Write something new. Break your own canon if you need to. I'd like to see him try making something live action that isn't even Star War related. All the other directors that Disney hire to make Star Wars, or a Marvel movie first proved themselves by either decades of work or a something semi-recent that got people talking. Filoni's resume just reads that he made some fan favorite cartoons. That experience doesn't always translate to live action. Okay I'm done on this long rant. Really going to miss Andor when it over. I like seeing them try new things. How about a situation comedy based on Bea Arthur's bar tender character? Recast them all with living actors. Add Dexter as the cook. Jar-Jar can be a waiter. Each week they stay one step of head of both the Empire, Jabba's goons and health inspector. A terrible idea for the show but it would be something different.

    I honestly enjoy the cartoon version a lot more than the movies overall.
  20. Big s
    It can be a challenge, but I’ve seen your recent stuff and I think you can handle it

    Oh boy. I’m up for the challenge. Thanks for the heads up. 👍

    I can assure you from personal experience that this doesn't help the movies at all.

    It’s actually kind of a relief in a lot of ways. You don’t get frustrated when some great story gets ruined. I think I’d be even happier if I had never read anything by Tolkien when I was a kid. Maybe I wouldn’t be as frustrated with rings of power. Or maybe the Hobbit movies wouldn’t seem so tedious
  26. Big s
    That movie keeps getting pushed back for one reason or another. Hopefully they can do a great sequel film
  27. Big s
    I’ve always liked these designs, they sorta had that familiar look to them with some interesting updates to make them still appear in world
  28. Seto Kaiba
    Probably not, lol... but he can claim three main fleets and probably dozens of straggler forces up until around 2054.
