Filoni is heavily involved in this, even directing the first episode, so I don't think the lore is being ignored. It has often been implied that the Empire did a number on Mandalore precisely because they have a history of being a major thorn in the side of any galactic government. Perhaps...

Damn. I was clapping like a spazzy schoolgirl when the Mandos fucked all the bounty hunters up

This is back today. The opening part of the first episode is a further look back to the start of the original war that split the land apart. It would be interesting to see the pre-war humans and see just how shit upon they were by the other races. I get the impression it was pretty bad.

The cloning concept is an interesting angle. 5 years post ROTJ would be 9 ABY and Attack of the Clones was 22 BBY, so roughly 30 years earlier. If he is indeed 50 then he would have had to have been cloned by the Kaminoans before they even received the initial order for the clone army. (I'm...

He's a character actor I've seen in a bunch of things (notably 'Oh Brother Where Art Thou') before but never as a main role. I am quite pleased with his performance. Also who didn't love the whole bit where he had the mask raised up and eating beans out of the can??

The whole show jumped every possible shark from multiple worlds in this last season. I feel they had no idea what the fuck to do and so just punted with the last batch of stories.

So apparently this is an anthology now?

In addition : who hired IG-11? Because his contract was for a confirmed kill only. Not to mention how the fuck is everyone tracking people with these little things, does every being in the Star Wars universe have some sort of UPC code etched into their DNA?

I just want to know what the creepy scientist/doctor wants with Yodel. Sure it could be a totally benevolent reason he wanted the asset returned alive, but he's an Imperial Scientist so I'm gonna have to say that's unlikely.

Holy crap. I actually stopped by the Pan'Theon booth at PAX as a looky-loo and he was surprisingly engaging and very approachable. He really defined what it meant to be an MMORPG without which this whole community would not exist. RIP Aradune

I have no sympathy for Euros when it comes to spoilers for this. They should have pushed back on the dumb 30% local production bullshit.

It really is. Its a slow burn but is really masterful storytelling...and the casting job is essentially the best ever.

I figure Looking Glass is psychic, he doesn't think he is and attributes his ability to tell when people are lying to recognizing physical features, but being near ground zero of the squid attack activated his latent psychic abilities which will only get stronger now that he isn't shielding his...

Every Disney+ subscriber should be required to watch Tron Uprising and Tron Legacy....then maybe we can get a sequel. Damn I love that movie, mostly due to the soundtrack.

Well I mean its a robot...I'm fine with things that don't have sex to reproduce not having genders. French language notwithstanding I'm pretty sure my coffee maker and toaster oven are also non-gendered.

FL4K is a tranny??

Finished the story and I liked where it ended up. Definitely open for a sequel of some sort.

The most depressing thing about this all is that I see nothing at all that looks terribly exciting from a story-telling or gaming standpoint. The fact that this sensation of 'eh ... well what's next?' is coming 12 months BEFORE this even releases is very telling. This means we are 3 years away...

Im enjoying it a lot. I am very much NOT a Dark Souls type parry-combat person so I'm finding this all a bit rough, but Im enjoying it in a "I want to throw the controller" kinda way. Cameron Monahan is easy on the eyes and a great choice to lead a new gaming franchise. He's not only a dude...

I'm not quite sure what the heck happens now. Even if we did a near-real-time episode for the ~45 mins that Chidi has to come up with the ethical framework of reality before the final winter break, what then happens in the last block of episodes??

Interesting that Disney+ can't launch in Europe until they figure out how to meet the "30% of the content from Europe" rule. This is gonna be especially hard given that Netflix was already gobbling up whatever locally produced fare they could in order to meet that benchmark AND UK content won't...

Looks like the new game confirms that Starkiller Base was Ilum. Which is a nice nod to the overall continuity for the superfans and especially gamers, but would have been nice to at least briefly mention in the movie itself. When did the 'Superlaser = kyber crystals' business start? It was...

Speaking of IG-11, clearly he didn't need a blurg to get to the outsiders encampment, so what the heck? Maybe IG-11 wasn't at all concerned about 'stealth' or 'tactics' and thus took the service road they use to bring in groceries.

I forgot that I had pre-ordered this until I saw an article about the 12 titles actually available at launch. Cancelled that puppy.

You can just hold the options button and it will give you an option to skip. Its per-sequence so many times you have several separate individual sequences stiched together for a given basic activity... but its better than nothing.

I do really hope IG-11 can be repaired / reprogrammed as they make such a cool duo in the short sequence we get. He needs someone to play off of.

But they arent an independent developer anymore. They got acquired by Microsoft (which is likely what precipitated the sudden 'just ship it' nature of the game)

They look very human and are possibly derived from the same base species as the other humans in the Galaxy, but they are their own distinct warrior culture who had fought the Republic in the past.

I think it was necessary if only to show that the badass main character, whose face we don't see, is not a 'mary sue' reincarnation of Boba Fett.

Yeah it is breaking under the strain, which any reasonable person knew it would and likely why they released it just a bit ahead of schedule to try and weed out the most die hard of fans wanting to see The Mandalorian. Wasn't enough I guess.

Good think the Xbone app works as the Android version can't seem to chromecast to my TV. I suspect it has to do with the same reason that DCUniverse did not support Chromecasting to my TV at first.

Hell of an introduction to a new character. Lady Trieu is a badass and yet I can't tell whether she is good, evil, or something much more complicated. I suspect the latter. Given that she owns what used to be Veidt I'm guessing she may be Adrian's jailer? I'm also kinda shocked no one has...

Other than Azerite being a stand-in for Unobtanium the whole DSTS business has been largely ignored as a complete afterthought all expansion long. The whole war was just idiotic in the extreme and has made no goddamn sense. Yeah I get it that they are trying to recreate Warcraft 2 Sea of...

It does seem like they aren't going to address this whole giant sword sticking out of the planet business. Then again Azerite isn't mentioned as part of Shadowlands so maybe there will be some closure?

I got through chapter 6, returned it to RedBox, and then watched a stream / read a synopsis of the ending to see if my deductions about the plotline were on point or not. I'm glad I played it, but I'm also glad I only spent $3 on it.

There is definitely an endorphin sort of thing going on with the stuff you can build. I took great pride when I finished the road in chapter 3 (plus a ton of likes from people using it).

There are some urban concrete decay to navigate but up through where I am its been pretty much Mars landscape as a rule. Hence my comment about how amazing roads are once you start building them.

I think we are meant to think that the world got shattered by the whatever apocalypse that kicked all this off...hence the giant sea in the middle of the country. But yeah given that I can drive from Ohio to Texas in about 4 mins I think any direct literal mapping is likely out the window.

I had the game all sorted out, build roads and support network, gather stuff, make deliveries, avoid BTs and all was sensible and normal if a bit dull. Then I got to Chapter 4.

So far the game has made it very clear that roads are good. I don't know that I'm really enjoying it, however, so much as persisting through it.
