so true king

Can’t believe that there’s an entire generation that doesn’t realize that this is unironically the greatest lightsaber of all-time

[Caleb M. Powers @CalebMPowers]

@birdsofaccord I hate that Andor exists dont ask me

[Caleb M. Powers @CalebMPowers]

give me a bottle and a bib, then

[Spellgage @spellgage]

1. R1/Andor haters are the biggest babies on the planet.
2. Galen Erso’s plan relies more or less explicitly on the Empire overlooking details. One of Andor’s themes is that totalitarianism is arrogant to think that it *can* see and control all the details.

[Caleb M. Powers @CalebMPowers]

@driftingin2014 It was perfectly believable to me. That didn't stop it from being any less cringy

[Caleb M. Powers @CalebMPowers]

Agreed. I bounced off Anakin's cringy dialogue in Episode II far more than I did anything in I.

[Alex 🇵🇸🇱🇧 @foleywoley]

Re-watched Episode I and it's basically a great film. I don't understand all the hate.

[Caleb M. Powers @CalebMPowers]

@TheMiddleborne No, but that one is also bad

AI bots are encouraging people to try to deceive publishers.

I asked ChatGPT to generate an essay. Then I told it I wanted to pitch it to a Christian magazine but didn't want them to know it was AI generated. It then gave me a specific list of tweaks to help me pull this off.

George is childishly creative, Filoni is uncreatively childish.

[cold 🥑 @coldhealing]

Star Wars making the central figure of their new movie a 50yo baby constitutionally incapable of growing up is a little bit on the nose as critique of their fans

[Caleb M. Powers @CalebMPowers]

@TheMiddleborne lol seriously

the jedi robes are so sick the way they are

[Caleb M. Powers @CalebMPowers]

@not_our_guy lololol

[Caleb M. Powers @CalebMPowers]

Barring the cringe depiction of both by Filoni, the Clones and the Mandalorians are actually some of the coolest parts of the Star Wars universe

[John William Sherrod @jwsherrod]

Boba Fett’s story should have ended for good with his death in Return of the Jedi. It’s incredibly stupid that his story ballooned into the reason the Clone Wars are called that and it’s incredibly stupid a whole complicated lore was developed about his armor.

[Caleb M. Powers @CalebMPowers]

I always saw it as: "our hyperdrive is malfunctioning and so it failed at a critical moment in our flight from the empire so we had to hide until they left. Then we were able to get it working temporarily but to make sure that it's reliable in the future we have to go to the nearby system to have someone take a look at it." Never seemed like a plot hole to me!

The true gay agenda

[Southern Dan @StolenDans]

One of Filoni's biggest flaws is that he's too precious with the characters. Lucas had no such respect and goofed on 'em like crazy.

[Caleb M. Powers @CalebMPowers]

@think_starwars I've tasted both ketchup and TCW2008 and I don't need to eat a whole meal like that to know i won't like it

[Caleb M. Powers @CalebMPowers]

as someone who has honestly read or watched very little of the non-film material in the prequel eras (just the original 2d clones wars cartoon, basically)... nah

the prequels are better without TCW 2008, and by a long shot

[ClassicComics @ClassicComics3]

One thing I’ve noticed is that prequel defenders almost always end up using the clone wars tv show in their defense, particularly to defend the plot. They rarely use the actual movie in their defense. Because without books and tv shows to explain it, nothing makes sense in them

[No Leaf Outlaw @rebelinthefdg2]

Every time a Star War boomer talks about what the prequels should have been, it becomes blatantly clear their real gripe with the prequels is that George Lucas didn't canonize their terrible, lore breaking, fanfiction that either sounds like nonsense or it sounds like ANH 2.0

[Caleb M. Powers @CalebMPowers]

this is basically what happened to all the Gen-Xers and they still pretend like it's not true lol

[𝚂𝚗𝚘𝚠𝙱𝚛𝚘 @MeltingSnowBro]

The OT don't imply any of that, that was just your headcanon you had as a kid.
