    Ive played a lot of baseball and watched a lot of baseball, and in my opinion Ruger is hurt. It's a nagging injury. You dont locate and fuck people up for months and then have two starts where you get your asshole stuffed because you walk record numbers of people, leave your fastball letter high to get crushed and completely lose your spin on your off speed pitches which are then sent into the parking lot. 

    His performance in the last to games is fucking pathetic and it isn't mental.

    I’m not saying he’s not hurt but Ruger’s velo is still there and he doesn’t look uncomfortable physically. I don’t know what is going on with the last couple of starts but maybe they just over calculated from what went down in Arkansas and found themselves back in the same position. It could be as simple as he got rocked so hard that it is indeed mental now. Everything that wasn’t missing the plate was up.

    Allegedly the Gilroy side doesn’t really communicate with the Filoni/Favreau side. Gilroy has never brought them up in several long interviews on The Ringer. There’s even some “not my Star Wars” bullshit out there in the Filoni-Verse. 
     

    Could be idle industry gossip, I mean who knows with Lucasfilm after the Kennedy retirement/not retirement mystery, but it’s plausible. Jon has said there’s no Andor without Mando’s success, and Dave gave it a half assed, back handed compliment. Reading between the lines, Dave thinks Star Wars is for kids and seems resistant to “adult Star Wars”. 
     

    Hopefully Gilroy gets his Death Troopers project made, Ahsoka Season 2 and the Mando movie are good, and the 2 sides can coexist. 

     

     

     

    I doubt we get this level of maturity ever again from a Star Wars project. I have friends that like Star Wars and what Andor has done but fall in the line of thinking that the franchise isn’t meant to be this mature. The farthest they think the franchise should go is on the level of R1. 

  3. Someone jokingly said Syril taking a mini nap in the middle of dinner with his mother and Dedra was foreshadowing his eventual death. And to think, Soller, the actor who plays Syril, completely improvised the mini nap on set.

    Anyone else wish that Gilroy would just remake the entire franchise?

    He would be perfect for a knights of the old republic tv series or movie.

    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.

    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. 
     

    Edit: what mdmost said.

    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. 

  12. 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. 

  13. 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.
