So Sideshow Bob is getting a chance to undo some of his past mistakes? Cause KK was all Iger. So, Andor is done, cool, will binge it over the weekend.

technoblue Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 A certain group of incredibly vocal people have been on a hate parade against Disney and its leadership for years now, including calling out Kennedy. Whether she is retiring on her own terms or being ‘forced out’ when Iger comes back to focus Disney on other projects is anyone’s guess at this point. Whatever the result, I’ll believe it when I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaman Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 The Merger with Apple seems far fetched at best - if that does not setoff anti-monopoly alarms then nothing would. Also - A LOT of what went wrong can be traced back directly to Iger's time. With the exception of Chapek being a horrible spokesperson. The tone of the messages Iger is putting out versus what Chapek said is nearly a 180 while the substance is the same - layoffs and hiring freezes. As for Star Wars in particular. Movie wise tt has underperformed, BADLY, so no matter what the reason the person at the top is going to go one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think the apple thing is a bit extreme as well, but the rumors are so all over the place at the moment that it’s great entertainment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolt Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Tales Of The Jedi could easily have just been a clone wars spin off. Or even integrated into the series. I know it's after the fact now, but most everything revolved around that era and those characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I thought it was good, I was disappointed that they stuck so close to home. They could have chosen any era, spanning thousands of years, and brought some Legend characters into the canon, but no.

CoryHolmes Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) I'm waaaay late to this, but I just finished Andor () and I moved on to Kenobi. Right away I can tell that the tone isn't for me. Andor won me over with the banality of Imperial Bureaucracy and the many small steps taken by many people all moving the behemoth along. In Kenobi, within the first 30 seconds we have Some Dude all in shiny black armour strutting about as people look on at him and scatter. Ugh. I mean, I know it's Star Wars and certain things should happen, but... ugh. EDIT: Also? Hand-held shaky cam can be jettisoned into the nearest garbage masher. HATE THE SHAKY CAM! EDIT 2: Hah! Tiny Leia is great, as is the stepmom. Stepmom has just the right amount of exasperation a tiny Leia would cause. And Jimmy Smitts! Yay, I've always like him as Bail!

Dobber Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) Ugh Kenobi, what a waste of my favorite character. There are some descent moments in the show. And a couple really good ones. But over all from the effects, cinematography, tothe HORRIBLE soundtrack, Kenobi was just terrible for me. Tiny Leia just got really annoying to me and making her the focus for Obi-Wan creates more problems to the lore. But hey gotta make her more important to please KK. Also, how no one can catch up to Leia in every chase is beyond stupid. I really tried to like the show and desperately wanted to but apart from a few scenes that are really good Vader in the town and Vaders chat with Kenobi at the end, the show was just barely mediocre at best and head-scratchingly ridiculous most of the time. Sorry just my 2 cents, I really just needed to vent that lol Chris Edited January 5, 2023 by Dobber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKT Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 What stuck out most in Kenobi was the anti-climatic Vader reveal.. where's the imperial march theme?! Compare that to his Roque One reveal and this one just sort of fizzles.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsain Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Yeah, with Williams and Natalie Holt doing the score, it’s shocking how lame the music was. I really hope that we see more SW like Andor in the future, and that it’s not a fluke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryHolmes Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Oh. Oh *man* did I just see what I thought I saw? Third Sister Lady did a long walk just to get into her own base? From the pad she just walks in a straight line through doors and hangers and stuff? My first and most immediate thought was "Are they copying Get Smart's opening?" That alone should tell you how I feel about this show so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
