    They keep on trying to bring in the younger crowd. Hasn't worked yet and I doubt this will either. I'm guessing it could also be much cheaper on the budget.

    He said the reason but they really made it seem like he is more of an uncaring jerk then the reason. The Alliance is already overstretched keeping their own systems safe and do not have the resources to keep unaligned systems safe. I think that was what all that paperwork shoved on the desk was supposed to mean. The scene would have gone better if he (the pencil pusher) had seemed more caring and if the outpost rebel base didn't seem to have people just sitting around.

    They are trying to stay off the radar and the Star Wars galaxy is pretty crowded, and they are bonkers enough to most likely consider the danger a good thing.

    Truth there. Lucas is the ONLY one to blame for Jar Jar and little Darth. I had no problem at all with the acting of Jar Jar, just the writing. Jake Loyd should never have been cast as Annakin. Kids either have the talent to pull off a role or they do not and once again it is all Lucas fault - but in this case for a bad casting choice.

    If you count the actor who played Jar Jar, also playing the Jedi that saves Grogu as JarJar saving Grogu then yes.

    Corporate budgets (especially now) can not afford to give a show a chance, beyond the entire first season Willow got. In Willow's case it may have been even worse, there is a chance it had a fairly decent first episode or two based on name recognition and tanked from there.

    I always thought he looked young. Somebody who never appeared to age was Colonel Potter from MASH. I saw him in Dragnet (done 10-15 years earlier and he looked exactly the same).

    Willow is a high budget show on par with Stranger Things. Cobra Kai, being based in current times, can get by with a lower budget. Long story short, high budget shows have to do well to stick around and Willow was not doing well enough. From all the reviews I have seen it probably cratered in viewership after a couple episodes.

    Facebook and the VR headset are no longer required to be linked. Can they be required to do so sometime again in the future, yup.

    This has also been out for the Quest 2 for a few months now as well (along with the older WW1 game) (video only chosen at random...)

    No problem needing a lobotomy, at least from either of these movies. Now if you want some real GOOD (as in bad but fun) camp I suggest Hawk the Slayer, or Krull if Hawk is not available for some reason. Nobody but Nobody chews scenery better then Jack Palance.

    Predator came back, so you know an Alien movie of some kind is on the way too.

    Oh lord, not the wasted questions bit again. Maybe I'll watch it when it comes on cable, but I still haven't even watched the older D&D movie yet.

    I forgot, was it mentioned why the Empire cloned (or tried to clone) that particular creature? I mean if you going to clone something for a test that creature is not the best of the lot to choose. The episode was a good one though. Much better then the filler ones.

    The more I see the worse it looks.

    No no, Kirk was the Transport problem.

    We watching the same Trek? That happens umpteen times. Time Travel, yea sure we can do that, but don't (till Enterprise in series terms and what a mess that was). Steal Romulan Cloaking tech and don't use it? Heck Yes. Forget they had a shuttle (a few of them) for a season and then just add them in, heck yes (would have really helped Sulu in an earlier episode). Etc...

    It's Star Trek, Tech Today, gone tomorrow (for the contraceptives). Or as JMS would say "Tech exists at the level of plot".

    It was certainly there for all of a few minutes at least, kind of a carryover from the Kirk/Decker dynamic. Which also seemed pretty forced.

    Even Next Gen was supposed to have Picard and Riker not get along all that well, not openly antagonistic but having a different idea of how things should work - I can't remember if that even lasted through the pilot.

    Those days are long gone, except in the military and Unions (no judgement there, those are the only two places I know where you have to start at the bottom and move up). The days where the mail room boy (do they still have them anymore?) stays with one company to eventually become CEO is long gone.

    I give it a look on D+ when it appears (without a surcharge). Till then the Muppet Haunted Mansion works fine.

    What Thom said. No toys I remember but lots of models, and still more being produced but not at a brisk pace. Is 2205 available (legally) subbed or dubbed in English yet? The dub cast has grown on me, I didn't like them at first since they were different from the old Star Blazer series 1 and 2 cast but a few episodes in and I was good.

    For Disney+, I saw an article somewhere that said they were going to cut way back on the Marvel content and try to ramp up the Star Wars movie (not D+ movie) content. Return on investment, yada yada. Never saw another mention of it though. The gist of it was new D+ content was going to curtailed no matter what franchise as they focus more on profitability instead of subscriber count (though IMHO cutting the new show count is not going to help with either metric). Stranger Things had a limited shelf life to begin with. They may have expected one more season then they are actually going to make but that is due to Covid messing up everything except the kids getting older. As for Discovery - more Strange New Worlds can't be a bad thing, not yet anyway.

    Editing, pacing, and throwing WAY WAY too many plot devices into the mix. OK, maybe that falls under editing. It does have good points (quite a few) but overall it is a giant mess.
