    Yes, the quid-pro-quo can be annoying, but what's a Mandalorian to do? He's the only active Jedi out there. There aren't many left out there who would pick up the phone. What @Mog said. You'll want to watch the Mandalore episodes of Clone Wars and Rebels before you continue cuz if you want to understand the "why", it will be explained in those shows. Gideon already mentions part of the "why" behind why Bo Katan will not just accept the Darksaber this time around. And you should do so before you start Season 3.

    Season 1 was OK but I can see how one could get lost in the direction cuz it does get lost in its repetitive-ness. That being said, Season 1 doesn't require more in-depth knowledge from prior shows as Season 2 and 3 needed. Heck, you're gonna need to watch Book of Boba Fett between season 2 and 3 (it really was a season 2.5) or else you're gonna get really lost when you go from season 2 to 3. If you want to jump ship, no one is gonna hold it against you. Back in the day, I only lasted the pilot for Game of Thrones before I jumped ship. I occasionally saw a clip or 2 as they popped in on my feed but still couldn't jump into it. I even tried to see what the commotion was about by getting caught up on the last few seasons but it still ended low on my priority list and only came back to it on occasion. So don't feel bad; just get off the boat before you waste anymore of your time.

    Alec Guinness was in his early 60s when he started filming Star Wars and was near 70 when they finished. Ewan McGregor was in his late 20s when he started filming the prequels and ended in his early 30s. And just for comparison's sake, Ian McDiarmid was in his mid-30s when he did RotJ.

    Besides the postcard artwork, the 2 SKUs look to have the same contents, at the same price. It may be clarified or combined as we get closer to the release date. 🤷‍♂️ It may still have a release outside of Japan. Just not anytime soon. Zero was not announced. Only the TV shows and their adjacent releases.

    I can't answer that because I don't know. Is it leading to a movie? Season 2? Neither are in production and no announcements were made as to the direction future storylines will take. There will be no movement until the SAG strike ends. And you can bet Iger is going to be a bit more stingy with to green light something unless it meets a certain ROI-threshold with the cost of business expected to go up.

    I can't speak fan disappointment. (Star Wars fandom annoys me for with its sheer about of BS, vitriol, etc. so I'm avoiding them as much as I can help it) I can say the viewership numbers for the final episode were down compared to The Mandalorian S3's season finale and but outpaced Andor S1's finale. i would rank Andor'd S1 finale as more watchable than Ahsoka's so I can't figure that. The viewership seems to tune out as we got to the finish line. As I mentioned after the finale, I came out of the season unsatisfied. It setup more than it closed out and without a definite "Yes" to season 2, I was hoping for something more conclusive. Compared to the shows above, those 2 finales close a chapter to those books. Ahsoka's finale didn't really close anything. And without a "Yes" to season 2 or if this is going straight to Filoni's "movie", I'm left with a feeling of "What's next for these characters?". "Where are we going from here? Movie? Season 2?" You stranded me at this point and didn't tell me what's next.

    14th gen Intel CPU reviews are out. Raptor Lake refresh is ..a refresh. And uses more POWA! The only value (price/performance) improvement is the 14700K. But 14th gen vs Ryzen 7000X3D gives the value crown to AMD; cheaper price/performance, lower power usage, equal or better performance. Or buy last gen 13th gen Intel if you are looking to upgrade from something a lot older and want to stay on Team Blue.

    The ending was a letdown so it's colored people's opinion in retrospect. There also hasn't been a official announcement of a second season (I think partially because of Ray Stevenson's untimely passing and I think this show was originally planned to be a limited series but then changed, so actors will need to re-sign and they can't do that until the SAG strike ends).

    Has some of the same notes as 9th/10th Doctor's intro themes, especially with the drum set.

    This was supposed to happen after Seed Destiny back in 2006 (it was even announced back then). But the lead writer, Chiaki Morosawa, got sick (she talked about it in an interview in 2008) and eventually passed away in 2016. Her husband and showrunner, Mitsuo Fukuda, finally got around to working on it and it was finally announced it was in production around the time Witch from Mercury started.

    Spoiler'd for size Seed Freedom PVs

    Yes, I would like to know that myself. As a season finale, it was ok, but unsatisfactory. The big question is what they planned on doing with Baylan's plot. Without recasting that role, that's going to be a hanging thread. As for the ending...
  13. azrael
    And unfortunately, we may never know with Mr. Stevenson's passing. If he isn't killed off in the next episode, recasting the part may be the only way to move that story forward.

    We also know the Doctor can control the regeneration process...at least at a sub-conscious level (see the 12th Doctor).

    The article mentions it’s been on a limited phase but starting next year, it will be rolled out to all markets on the low tier subscriptions.

    FYI, in case anyone hasn't heard the news from the Xbox leaks in the FTC vs Microsoft case https://www.wired.com/story/ftc-microsoft-leaks-xbox/ https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/19/23880165/xbox-leak-ftc-documents-new-xbox-series-x-controller-next-gen https://www.resetera.com/threads/mid-gen-xbox-roadmap-hardware-leak-series-s-x-refreshes-digital-only-2tb-series-x-at-499-controller-with-haptics-and-quieter-buttons-at-69-99.765920/ There's a huge trove of news coming out of those documents from the Xbox roadmap, mid-generation hardware refreshes, in-development games, a wishful want to buyout Nintendo and Valve.

    My my...

    How about not answering that. Calm down and sit down.

    I'll wait till the the season is over before commenting on that. And if it does go to a season 2, then that would color my opinion more. But we'll see when we get there. Yes. It's not bad. So far. But, just because something isn't bad doesn't mean it's good (So far.) It just hasn't hit the notes (yet, or yet to be seen). Yeah. We've said that WAYYYYYYYYYY to many times. I would say a lot of people wished we could just write off the sequel trilogy altogether but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, SOME LADY ONE is keeping it in there.
  21. azrael
    Yeah...fan-service. 🤦‍♂️ Those folks who didn't watch Clone Wars or Rebels; this episode is gonna fly over their heads with both the flashback retrospective and the ending. 😒
  22. azrael
    You know the Probe is in the opening credits? That whole clusterfrak with the Borg, Romulans, Packleds, Klingons, the Crystalline Entity (that spot in the opening gets more crowded each season...)
  23. azrael
    Yeah, it's basically Skyrim... IN SPAAAAAAAACE.

    What mikeszekely said. You mean Location Services? Edge? Cortana? I turn that off, never use it and disabled Cortana. I only use Edge to download Firefox and Chrome. That's the first and last time I use it. Hell, I disable a lot of stuff to keep Windows from annoying me. It's one of the first things I do when installing Windows. 🤷‍♂️ Once they give me back labels on the Taskbar, combine only when full, and the ability to resize it to small, I'll like Windows 11. When you have multiple windows of 1 app open, it makes it hard to know which one I'm clicking on when I have to use Peak to find out which one is which. 😡

    Sorry. Context. What are the specs on your PC? And for context, here's Starfield's requirements: https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/60442 And if you needed a DirectX update, that would normally come packaged with the installer, no? And what version of Windows are you on? Yeaaaaah. The only advantage consoles have is standardized hardware. Xbox, Playstation, Switch, Steam. They all release system updates and many times, you can't bypass them. Especially if you have that thing connected to the 'Net.
