Raising Rebels

Just a dad doing his best to raise a pair of rebel princesses. Star Wars/Marvel/DC/Video Games/Pop-Punk. He/Him.

Have been informed one of my players secured Tennents for tonight’s dnd session. Exciting times in New Scotland

We have this, but kids cancer research was deemed wasteful spending.

[Raising Rebels @theblognaught]

We need to keep them around as long as possible. The hangover Bostonians are gonna feel when they leave is going to be miserable, gotta push that off as long as we can

‘We tripled St. Patrick’s Day’: Patrons drank so much beer this weekend that Boston bars ran out https://t.co/b7zIWZAQ2y

[Raising Rebels @theblognaught]

I have paid 0 attention to the World Cup but absolutely love the party the Scot’s are bringing to town

[Matt McCarthy @MattMcCarthy985]

Every bar owner in Boston is figuring out how fast Amazon can deliver a Scottish flag.

[Raising Rebels @theblognaught]

My biggest nitpick with the movie was including the Hutts as the big bads and not including Boba. Would have been a layup.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Temuera Morrison actually said that he couldn’t say anything about if he will return as Boba Fett in ‘THE MANDALORIAN & GROGU’

He also revealed that he was meant to return for ‘THE MANDALORIAN’ Season 4 before it got redeveloped.

RT @RobbieBarstool: Definitely enjoyed #TheMandalorianAndGrogu more the second time around! I still have my little gripes/nitpicks but ther…

[Raising Rebels @theblognaught]

Oddly enough I think the criminal underworld and grey areas are where SW has thrived in the post Lucas era. Shakari and Nal Hutta were vibes. Felt like Outlaws but with Mando.

[BING BOB @RobbieBarstool]

I am happy to report the Anzellans still absolutely rock. I need a Penguins of Madagascar type show for these guys.

[Raising Rebels @theblognaught]

Mando + Grogu is a fun ride. Very much in the realm of Solo in terms of vibe. Goransson kills it. Wife loved it and hasn’t really seen the show.

[Raising Rebels @theblognaught]

The streaming rush over saturated. Previous generations got our trilogies, some got TCW show, and now there’s a seemingly endless stream of new SW with varying quality, and it’s not quite the same as 10-20 years going by and woah, there’s new SW in theaters.

[IGN @IGN]

Eric Handler, senior media analyst at Roth Capital Partners, said Lucasfilm is struggling to get young people into Star Wars to the same extent it so effortlessly managed with previous generations. https://t.co/9EwnLWKa2R

[Raising Rebels @theblognaught]

100% this

[John Hoey @JohnnyHoey]

SOLO was the first Disney Star Wars movie that didn’t get rave reviews from critics and it’s my favorite Star Wars movie since The Phantom Menace, which critics hated.

I am sure I’ll like Mando but i’ll be happier if it lights up my son’s imagination more than anything.

[Raising Rebels @theblognaught]

Shadow Lord absolutely brought the heat, hell of a front to back for season 1.

[Raising Rebels @theblognaught]

May the 4th be with you

[Raising Rebels @theblognaught]

Mando S2 is so damn good

[Raising Rebels @theblognaught]

Took a team that wasn’t supposed to sniff playoffs to the 2 seed. Would argue he squeezed everything he could out of this roster. Blowing a 3-1 lead is a rough end to the season but the carriage turned back into the pumpkin we all thought it was

[Polymarket Hoops @PolymarketHoops]

True or False: If Boston loses tonight’s Game 7, Joe Mazzulla SHOULD be on the hot seat.

Each year outside of 2024 has seen playoff meltdowns. 😳

[Raising Rebels @theblognaught]

Love immersion, but end of the day, SW is a huge umbrella, and the theme parks are visited by guests of all walks of life. Grandparents, parents, and their kids all in one trip. Trying to have that umbrella cover as much as possible rather than one sliver is the move

[Raising Rebels @theblognaught]

Imagining the level of inner peace there would be getting to that area before crowds, having a ronto wrap, and just staring at the falcon with John Williams music playing around you

[Scott Gustin @ScottGustin]

The Galaxy’s Edge timeline expansion debuts today at Disneyland, along with the iconic music of John Williams. Sound up. 🔊

[Raising Rebels @theblognaught]

Was Zuckuss previously released? Feels criminal to release 4-l0m without Zuckuss

[Nolan Ford @_nolansgalaxy]

New Star Wars Doorables are coming soon! Not sure when since there’s another set still waiting to be released.

[Raising Rebels @theblognaught]

This is all true, as is the fact that ownership isn’t willing to pony up $ to provide the help needed to win. Team’s a mess and has been since trading Mookie for a used cigarette and a dirty diaper. Whole organization needs to be reset, gm and ownership need to be next.

[VindogUnleashed @Vindog56]

Let's not forget that Alex Cora's Red Sox teams had consecutive last-place finishes ('22-'23). He's not the baseball messiah everyone's making him out to be now that he's been fired.
He could never effectively manage a pitching staff; his team's defense was horrible; the swing-and-miss rate of his hitters was off the charts; he didn't utilize small ball enough; and it remains questionable how many wins Cora was actually responsible for.
He was a likable baseball personality who excelled in post-game pressers.
He won a lot of fans over by winning the 2018 World Series in his rookie managerial year. But hardcore baseball fans always ask, "What have you done for me lately?" and that's where Alex Cora fell short...
