  1. Fair point. But I would argue that the one thing Disney Star Wars hasn't suffered from is poor directors. When there's a failure or misfire, it's generally a story/script issue. I'm not overly concerned.
  2. Highly unlikely, given Lucas's track record. And whatever you think of the stories, the sequels were well casted, acted, and shot, and made very effective use of practical, in-camera effects. We would have gotten none of that with Lucas. They would have been a green-screen, CGI-fest mess.
  3. I'm sorry, no. That's some serious revisionist history that doesn't match up with reality. The man was chalk full of bad ideas and poor instincts.
  4. I'm not sure where you'd get such an idea, outside of the depths of toxic Star Wars fandom.
  5. You know the answer to this, Roy: everything released over the past 25 years has been a retcon of the original trilogy. They've long since thrown continuity out the window. Filoni is a bigger offender in this than even Lucas was. Edit: small correction, Andor doesn't contradict the original trilogy.
  6. So, is the female dark-ish force user we see in the trailer supposed to be the replacement for Mara Jade in the Heir story? Or, uh, actually Mara Jade?
  7. This is the main problem with what they've been doing. Most of us haven't seen them, or at least all of them. I find myself having to dig through Wookiepedia to find out what's going on.
  8. It made what, $5 billion dollars combined? And then add in merchandise and the rest. Yeah, definitely not failed, whether you like the movies or not.
  9. Max and Milia. No contest. It's not an option though...
  10. Does anyone have to be reminded how much money the Sequels made? Or how hugely successful The Mandalorian has been? Or how great Andor is? Yeah, a lot of noise and nonsense from clowns like that guy on YouTube. Disney wanted to turn Star Wars into Marvel. I can't blame Kennedy for that. They were smart enough to pull black from that plan after Solo. If something hasn't gotten off the ground since then, it's probably because it wasn't good enough. And if that's the case, we're better off without them being made.
  11. The Horizon Forbidden West: The Burning Shores DLC is up for pre-order. $19.99.
  12. BOFURI has been cute, wholesome fun, but as the second season is coming to a close I may be getting a little bored with it. I've started watching Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai, which ended its run this past fall. I'm a big Dragon Quest fan dating back to the first game, so I'm already invested in the aesthetic and general vibe. 100 episodes is a lot, though. I'm going to try to do three episodes a day all the way through.
  13. I just finished up a long-overdue rewatch of Haruhi, so sane is definitely not what I'm looking for right now, lol. I'm looking for more hijinks.
  14. Hikaru, what's your take on BOFURI overall? Had it recommended to me by a friend, but I'm not big on "takes place in a video game" anime.
