    I am not sure triggering Trump is the measure of any success.  He was going to be on full blown tweet explosion post impeachment vote no matter what.

    As stated above the Democratic Senators running for the Presidency need this over ASAP as well.

    Interesting strategy for sure.

    Assuming there are only the two articles that were voted on yesterday (and that's a big assumption), if they push February/March, it becomes a serious problem for the GOP, because the GOP's rapid defense of Trump will remain in the minds of a lot of voters much longer, and it's going to continue causing Trump to have all kinds of shit-fits.  And you know he won't be able to help himself ,and will constantly be shouting in all caps "WHY WON'T THEY SEND THE IMPEACHMENT STUFF TO THE SENATE SO THE SENATE CAN PROTECT ME AND BIAL ME OUT!!#$@"

    Plus, it gives Rudy more time for fact-finding trips to Ukraine and Russia.  That's not helpful to Trump at all.

    Look how triggered these pussies are.

    Laughable.

    It is power.   Look at how triggered Trump, Turtle, Linda, etc. are over this - all but foaming at the mouth in front of the microphones.

    Nancy is going to make Turtle and Co. go on the record about how things are handled, and there is nothing they can do about it other than not give her the information - otherwise, they risk the first two articles pushing into election season.

    There is a reason why Dotard and Turtle and Co. need this impeachment over within a few weeks. 

  3. So Deborah Chow directed yesterday's episode, and Episode 3, The Sin.

    I'd say the Obi-Wan series is in really good hands.

    I’m guessing the the previously appearing master assassin has a big hand in their escape.

    And possibly the other Mandalorians.

    Spoiler

    He has a jetpack in the trailer, and is chasing Grand Moff Gideon's TIE fighter.

    That episode was awesome! Baby Yoda doing his thing, we’re starting to see Mando getting the crew started and we get to meet the bad guy who has freaking shadow troopers?!?! I’m getting the feeling papa palps has something to do with wanting baby Yoda.

     

    Am I gonna have to Force choke a bitch?

    On reflection, how much different is his letter from some crazed letter to the editor that some backwoods paper would have published.

    You could truly cut and paste this and put it on r/The_Donald and it would fit in perfectly.

    Pretty sure he posts in NextDoor.  But he’s using a different name, but I’ve read such diatribes on there before.

    EXCELLENT episode... Loved seeing the TIE fighter landing sequence on retractable gear, not just sitting in a hangar on those flimsy side panels.

    ...and damn.  Kuiil.  Good job, good effort.

    Looks like Ep 8 is "Recover the baby!"

     

    That was a great introduction to that character as well.  Glad they are well into season 2 production.   The people making this love Star Wars.  The people making the feature films love making feature films.

    shows what you know.  my kids have been BEGGING for Rose Tico action figures.

    When you look through the Rose Tico action figures, many seem to be heavily discounted, some more than 50% off.   Along with General Hux and Benicio del Toro’s characters.  
     

    Back when I was a kid, the figures that nobody wanted ended up being worth a shitload decades later.  Don’t think that will happen here.

    We didn’t hate Rose because she is a woman or asian. We hate her because she is stupid and annoying. 

    Actually, I hated her because her personality reminded me of an ex-girlfriend.

    It's following the exact formula of Rebels. Lots of groundwork laid in early episodes as they world build. One off adventure/job type episodes that will probably tie in to later episodes in the middle, the final 2 will introduce the big bad and lay the groundwork for season 2. This is what Filoni does. 

    Bill Burr and company were not left alive for no reason.   

    And having watched 7 this morning, he referenced back to some of those one-offs.

    jj's hands were tied with what rian with an "i" left him. the movie introduces a lot of new shit and story lines which makes it obvious that jj/the writers were trying to reign back the subversion (GOT D&D type shit) that rian with an "i" added just fucking because. this is what happens when you into a trilogy without a central story line and let everyone do their own shit. 

    if i hired three architects to independently design my house into 3 sections, i should not be surprised if the whole thing looks like a complete fucking mess.

    JJ is to blame, because he tied Rian’s hands by leaving no outlines for tying things up, etc.   And JJ made it worse by publicly championing Rian and giving everybody the impression that there was a coherent arc when TLJ was in production.   JJ wanted to remake A New Hope, and he got his wish, only there wasn’t a good way to follow it up with an ESB.

    By even hinting that Palps is coming back in the trailer, he’s telling everybody that he’s run out of creativity and is going back to the well.

    Are movies made for reviewers or for fans? Who gives a shit if some Cannes and Sundance types got boners over Rian Johnson if 90% of the fan base hates it and feels like: 1. You ruined the legacy of their childhood heroes; 2. You blew the only chance for an epilogue of those characters because Carrie Fisher died and Hammill and Ford are old AF. 

    Abrams and Kennedy are ultimately to blame.  It’s fine that Harrison would only come back if they killed him off.  And it’s fine if Abrams wants to be lazy and remake A New Hope.  

    For many, it’s not fine that Abrams obliterated the happy ending of ROTJ, and it was the last chance to have Han/Luke/Leia together one last time, and Abrams completely whiffed on it.  And Kennedy or somebody above her should have said “you need the trio together one last time”.

    So Disney could force them to review TLJ positively but Disney isn't forcing them to review RoS positively or manipulate this to have good reviews to help it make more money? 

    There’s no planned/upcoming Star Wars movies to hold over their heads, and because this wraps up a 9-movie series, there’s some finality.

    These two things will be true:

    1. Disney will make a shit ton of money 
    2. Kathleen Kennedy will have fucked it up
     

    Siths aren’t the only ones that deal in absolutes.

    The Entertainment Weekly review by Darren Franich eviscerates the film and Abrams. It’s still early, but the Disney review embargo appears wise. They’re projecting $450 million in the opening weekend. 

    The franchise needs a hard reboot. 

    The franchise is getting rebooted.  On the small screen.  And Kennedy already has one foot out the door.   We are close to Iger announcing that Favreau/Filoni report directly to him/Alan Horn in all things Star Wars, ala Kevin Feige.

    Aha. I was at a client and I was wondering why the commode is sloping forward. It was absolutely top end otherwise, with bidet and wireless remote that adjusts seat temperature, jet pressure, direction, pulse frequency, water temperature, etc. Absolutely great except for that slope.

    Wait, they don't have a guy who does all of that for them?  Like washing and drying your ass, etc.?

    TBH this is the end of the Skywalker saga, and everyone is going to have their own version of how they think it should end - whether they are a fan of TLJ or not. 

    Whatever everybody's hot takes on TFA and TLJ were, most of us agree that we should have at least seen Han, Luke, and Leia together one last time.

    That's the fucking crime here.
