@DanFriedman81 I have some rough news for you about the rules of law and the basic grounding principles of society and the ability to make decisions about things one isn’t directly experiencing at the time. You may want to sit down…

@RichardHanania Killing an old man is also murder. Your ignorance competes with your immorality in the race to be the number one reason you are a loser, but the second place finisher will be close behind you.

@SithZealot Rian hated the franchise and actively subverted it. JJ neither hated nor loved the franchise, it was just a generic backdrop to him (which was better than Rian). Acolyte was made by people pushing an ideological agenda who took pleasure in doing so via someone else’s passion.

@Catlover10000S You’re asking people when they stopped beating their wife and getting angry they don’t want to engage with you on a question that smuggles an accusation.

@MichaelFKane That’s the wrong equation for force in this scenario Trekkie, but directionally correct.

@Ryan_Gasoline @nap_ygg It’s plenty for a model number. Sometimes you only need 3 (BB-9, BD-1), but they can add another character if needed (C1-10P).

[Moose Hamilton @MooseHamilton]

@Ryan_Gasoline @nap_ygg Do you always refer to everyone by first and last name? There’s also famously only one John Smith.

[Moose Hamilton @MooseHamilton]

@Ryan_Gasoline @nap_ygg How many Ryan’s are in the world? Does the fact that “Ryan” doesn’t distinguish one Ryan clearly from another prevent people from calling every Ryan, “Ryan”?

@MichaelFKane It’s why the plot has them go to somewhere where they “think they can make it.” You don’t over analyze how long it takes a horse on a trot to carry the elf ranger or the falcon to carry its crew without hyperdrive. You enjoy things and don’t consider such trivial things holes.

@scarlettspder2 His claim isn’t true. He says Mando can’t blow open Star Wars and make it popular again, that’s what Andor did supposedly. It didn’t. It is loved by a niche audience. It didn’t generate broad appeal. Casual fans aren’t buying Andor merch or looking for Cassian in theme parks.

@Shadow_ofaDoubt @OliverJia1014 In some ways though, things released on Disney+ would have previously been movies. The 6 or 8 episode format isn’t the same as a “TV show.” Also, the reality of Covid and people not going to theaters pushed more projects into that mini series format.

[Moose Hamilton @MooseHamilton]

@OliverJia1014 The only thing RT is valuable for is generally demonstrating that film critics and film audiences often don’t agree, and chasing film critics probably isn’t a sound business decision.

[Moose Hamilton @MooseHamilton]

@TatooineSons I don’t think that critics are shills that were paid to like The Last Jedi. I think critics don’t like what Star Wars actually is/is meant to be, which is why they liked The Last Jedi. If they don’t like the new Mando movie that makes me feel more excited for it.

@BloatMcQueen Ford’s delivery is essentially always good regardless of what’s happening around it.

[Moose Hamilton @MooseHamilton]

@TSoS_ Andor is mostly loved by a certain segment of the population who can’t actually form their own thoughts, but who are part of a social circle where they’ve been told that’s what smart media literate people like, and they’re biggest desire is to be viewed well by that group.

[Moose Hamilton @MooseHamilton]

@noahs_corner @LTJG_Weinberg That’s… that’s not a sign of well written…

[Moose Hamilton @MooseHamilton]

@EckhartsLadder The critics hate it? Ok, now I’m excited for it.

@smatthewbreeden @Somun03682911 @timothy_gumm @JamesSurowiecki You have no idea what a fascist is or what people’s positions are because of who they voted for in a presidential election. The proof of your ignorance is equating these two things. You aren’t the normal, decent, positive person in this situation.
