  1. My daughter said that they had less money but had to put more in for reshoots but I can’t find any confirmation on this. But yeah for $180 it did not feel like it.
  2. I like it but man I throw a lot of INTs… Also I can’t wrap my head around the new zone read/rpo/etc controls. I fake myself out half the time. I’m already getting beat down by the drum line beat in the main menus. I’ll be turning that down soon. I like that there are 2 “big game”(ESPN) and “broadcast” (abc) teams but man this really woulda been a huge opportunity to go big by adding the “fox” crew of Gus and Joel as a 3rd team. I’ll forever hold EA NCAA basketball in high regard for having the ESPN vitale crew and the CBS Kellogg crew for 2 different broadcast feels. FIFA/EA FC has down this with the overlays but they only do a league and national announcers. Someone needs to do a “rpo for surly dummies” on here because I’m struggling.
  3. Also the ep3 & 7 rashomon bit failed miserably to me. This didn’t show the same story from to different lying perspectives. Instead to me it basically showed snippets of a story and then the unraveling of that story. I don’t care if they made parts darker when Sol was being bad. The whole point is to tell the same story from multiple liars. Bleh I’m frustrated with this show. Everytime I jump onto X more engagement farming pops up with terrible views or just outright “yeah but this saber play was better than anything ever!” [emoji2359]
  4. Well he says he wants an acolyte. Going off canon, that’s a role for the apprentice when he decides he going after the crown. Sith master Sith apprentice Sith acolyte/assassin
  5. Sooo remember all the chatter and backbending that went on about Ki Adi Mundi earlier? Just to tie a bow on it… KAM looks even worse now, he and Yoda are ruined. KAM saw a red sabered villain was killing Jedi, the official “story” is Sol killed them… so KAM actively covers up the story and Yoda is in on it too based on that dumb cameo. When they do a re-release of The phantom menace instead of making “Han shoot first”, they just need to rename it, “The phantom menace we’ve known about for 100 years and 2 grand master have been actively concealing”
  6. Based on this show, they’d kill you and blame Porkins or Red Two…
  7. After this show, all Jedi should die. The Sith are the good guys or at least better than Jedis. Trackers are useless. The senate was feckless. Yoda is probably the worst Jedi ever. Droids default to Sith status when hard rebooted. QGJ at least moved the Jedi forward spiritually despite being a terrible person/jedi. Crouching tiger hidden Jedi and The matrix strikes back can’t save this.
  8. Garbage. 1 cool part. 2 meaningless cameos. No arcs tied up properly. Everyone was unlikeable. Please don’t give this a second season.
  9. And we are sure this is all planned vacation and not contracts?
  10. Funny thing is he created an Italian restaurant in coruscant. Sol’s Comsos Pizza
  11. My wife calls me a star wars apologist… I’ll try to defend droid episodes of TCW to my kiddos… None of us like this very much. Saber play was nice tho
  12. If you love Star Wars… yeah I could see binge watching this. I’ll say this, watch episode 7 right after episode 3. It’ll at least feel like you watched a cohesive story at that point. Weekly episodes do not help this messy story telling/directing. Episode 5 has some great saber play.
  13. That was not good. Kalnacca being the heel was dumb. At least we got a saber fight sorta. And probably the worst abrupt ending going into a finale. Now we have 28 minutes to tie up 4 different arcs
  14. As with most political nominees, they often are asked to step down when presidents change. As long as it’s an “acting” figurehead, we never get squat done. We have this happen across the board. When I was up in Chicago for 3 years, we had an acting head until the last 3 months I was there. It was impossible to get shit changed internally and then all of our fellow agencies couldn’t agree on shit either. I saw that article earlier and it confirmed what our resident agents were saying. On of my old agents did a stint in NFA and he broke it down the same way years ago, just like the article.
  15. I like that for 2 episodes they made a big deal about rhe ROUS moths attack light sources… And then a single ROUS moth decides to attack a not light source so that baldy can lazer whip it right after we have seen Qimir’s scars. Maybe they aren’t ROUS but actually Inquistor Moths helping Qimir. [emoji848]
  16. Not good. Went no where. This was basically Prince Humperdinck following Wesley and silly parent trap. Ep5 fooled me…
  17. To quote my wife… “That was it?!?”
  18. Bye Gregg
  19. That was my problem with that ending… 2 chances to eliminate an absolute threat to you, the civilian, the Jedi order, etc and yet he relents twice and instead relies on ROUS moths to pester him away from the fight…
  20. Right where Beskar was an ore and highly resistant to everything including blaster bolts and lightsabers. Cortosis was a mineral that was highly brittle in pure form. So it was alloyed into metals and made into weaved armor. That way it could deflect blaster bolts and defend against a save strike. The purer the Cortosis, the greater the ability to short out a saber blade but a liability against not energy based weapons. In Legends a Cortosis Blade was created to kill Vader while he was hunting down Jedi. They lured him into a trap, disabled his saber and almost killed him. He gains control of the blade and kills all the Jedi there with it.
  21. I thought I read spring 2025… could be/probably is wrong.
  22. I feel like those coulda all been in one post. But yes solid sword play that is up there in quality
  23. It was the best of the 5 so far but it’s been a low bar. Pro: Sword play really good, Cortosis gauntlet and helmet was/were nasty! Con: the dialogue was bad… really bad. ROUS moths was dumb, just fight. Mid: writing and directing was finally better in ep5, hopeful for final 3ep
  24. I mean she does clearly have 2 eye teardrop tatts. She’s openly warning that she’s sith and droppin bodies
