It was having human to robot relations. 

C-3PO always introduces himself with "human-cyborg relations"...

Did Anakin use the brain from a mechanical gigolo?

I get the feeling that C-3PO got around.

Matt Smith is the obvious villain and while he is a good actor its such a f'ing unoriginal and lazy casting move. 

Mia Goth is the villain. Unknown who Matt Smith is playing as of yet.

Nah, this is a Star Wars project.  The obvious villains are the writers😜

Writing is the franchise's Achilles heel.  An all-star cast and stunning visuals are simply a matter of throwing enough money at the project.  You can't simply buy a compelling creative vision or turn that vision into a viable screenplay by just throwing money at it.  It doesn't really matter how good your actors are or how bottomless your VFX budget is if the story you're telling is badly composed or just boring.  Like The AcolyteThe Book of Boba FettSolo: a Star Wars Story, etc.

I completely agree with you. The stuff I’ve seen has pretty always had a decent or even great group of actors and the visual effects are pretty much at the top as well. Unfortunately the writing is often where the stories fall apart. Sometimes it’s too much of an agenda or sometimes it’s expecting everyone to have watched a cartoon, but most of the time it’s just pure stupidity

I still like to think of KK as the sith behind green lighting what the writers are allowed to produce. She's always pulling the strings from the shadows..:rofl:

All hating aside. I'm looking forward to another go at it. Hopefully something interesting. Clearly they're steering away from known territory , so as not to invoke overly long negative analyses from fans and haters alike . ;)

I'm not sure I'd say the presence of absence of an "agenda" has anything to do with it.  After all, the only agenda I've seen in Star Wars under Disney has been Disney's usual ruthless profit motive... or their release schedule, for a given value of the word "agenda". 😆😜

No, if I had to point to a probable cause for the trouble Star Wars so consistently has in the writer's room I'd say it's a combination of risk-averse development and a very narrow idea of what Star Wars stories can be.  Writing a film for the broadest possible global audience doesn't leave much room to make an artistic statement, and the Disney+ originals rely upon excessive fanservice to avoid stepping outside of the narrative "comfort zone".

It'll be interesting to see what they make of it.  I'm not sure I'd say they're steering away from known territory, but they're at least attempting to move forward for once instead of just screwing around in the vicinity of the original trilogy... and a Jedi-free story should encourage a bit more depth.
