    Well I'd argue the midichlorians was a dumb revision of the Force by George in general but that's for a different nerd thread. 

    Obviously it didn’t land with most Star Wars fans but it never mattered because midichlorians were never meant to be the force but rather explain how someone can use the force. I get where George was coming from but he was ultimately reaching for something that didn’t need to be explained any further.

    Gilroy really knows how to bring the Force back to what it was in the OT. A mystical energy field that's a religion to some. The healer, the Force monks on Jedha, I am one with the Force and the Force is with me. I was wondering if the healer was also reaching out to Andor with the Force memories of Marva and Brasso. Like the visions Rey saw in The Force Awakens. 

    I mean it would be dumb to even entertain midichlorians since the empire has destroyed any resemblance of the Jedi order. The average person wondering the galaxy pre-empire probably never fully understood what the Jedi were all about. Combine that with what the empire did to the Jedi and you get what Han says in ANH.

  3. Next week might be the Luthen show. Feels like everyone has gotten their moment while Luthen has been acting as the conductor. It’s time for him to turn to the crowd and take a bow.

    The Andor series in the Disney era has never shied away from brutality. If there is one story to highlight this type of evil that bolsters the SW rebellion, it’s this series and I think they can pull it off because of what they’ve already done previously. Cassian blatantly shooting guys point blank (the first episode of Andor set the tone well), the psychological horror of Bix having to listen to the sounds of the massacred Dizonites, even the Vader scene at the end of Rogue One, which is obviously connected to Andor, and so on. Showing the Ghorman massacre can really elevate this show to a new territory for SW, while also adding depth to the OT in particular. 

     

    Well, it wasn’t the Ghorman massacre with Tarkin but episode 8 was a slam dunk. Just brutal all the way around. Episode 9 was masterfully written and kept me on the edge of my seat even though there was less action. Mothma’s speech!

    This 3 episode arc is going to go down as some of the best Star Wars and Gilroy has definitely elevated this show to fuckin top. IMG_3148.jpeg.1c57ed99e996da0b1beec5d51ff0bf99.jpeg

    Well, when the magic goes it really goes I guess.

    Damn.

    We are lost at the plate and on the mound.  Dilly Dilly!

    The baseball gods allowed us to be the last team to not lose a weekend series and we are now making that streak look almost unbelievable. That’s the way baseball go

    Yes. Every 3 episode arc is followed by a year long time jump. It’s genius pacing

    They said you basically will want to watch R1 directly after episode 12 

    Kind wish they’d release 7-9 on Tuesday then 10-12 the following Saturday at an earlier time. That way we can nerd out all day and be able to watch R1 immediately after.

  7. We’re halfway through and the show has exceeded expectations so far.

    Feels like every conversation as we go along has a crescendoing weight to them, and ultimately depressing knowing most are going to die. The convos in episode 6 between Vel and Cinta are a good example. They’ve been eyeing each other for most of the time and when they finally get a chance to talk, we get a glimpse of their relationship and the impacts the rebellion has on it. Then boom. Cinta dies a death that shouldn’t have ever happened if they would have been working with rebels that followed the rules. Her chewing out Samm was so damn good.

    Gilroy is doing an excellent job at making me feel for characters that I know are going to die. I’m not having a good time in that aspect of the show.

  8. 95% of the conversations taking place at the wedding have important meaning behind them, advancing the story and characters. Mothma getting essentially held hostage by her childhood best friend because her clandestine efforts are hurting his own investments. Or Luthen basically telling Mothma he’s going to eliminate her childhood best friend, and mocking her because she doesn’t fully understand the gravity of the situation. Watching a bunch of dudes play rock paper scissors was more boring than any conversation at the wedding.

    Once again enjoying Texas baseball on the Yamanote Line in Tokyo.

    This is always pretty cool when you post this. I somewhat followed their high school baseball championship tournament this year. Crazy is an understatement.
