You found Star Wars to ESB jarring?
Spoilers Andor - Season 2
- Thread starter Fuddles
- Start date
I'm totally fine with the time jumps, and the Bix scene. This is the Galactic Empire, a tyrannical military-industrial state founded and ruled by the most evil being in known galactic history and his cybernetic second-in-command. The idea that an Empire like that could go a quarter of a century in existence and avoid carnal abuse of native populations and not using the power of their uniforms to attempt to satisfy their basest urges would be even more unrealistic than an evil space wizard and his half-robot henchman ruling most of explored space.
In any real world empire and power structure, power breeds abuse and abuse can lead to some of the most tasteless and personal crimes imaginable.

Well said.
When it's said to be 3 years apart it seems strange that Kenobi waited that long to tell Luke to see Yoda.
Think that's bad? The Force Ghosts of Obi-Wan, Yoda and Anakin never once mentioned that Palpatine's evil spirit had survived Endor and there were two Sith Wayfinders that would probably be a good idea to find. 30 years.
30 years.
That tells me that sometimes Force Ghosts don't interfere until they have to, and sometimes don't interfere at all.

I believe Shadow of the Sith has Anakin's ghost trying to say something but I could be wrong.
Nah, it just tells me that Rise of Skywalker is easily the worst-written piece of Star Wars ever and should be ignored for the rest of time.
It wasn't great. But personally I think that The Acolyte is leaps and bounds more awful.
Nah, at least The Acolyte tried to tell an original story. The Rise of Skywalker (and frankly about 80% of the sequel trilogy) is subpar rehash of stories that were told better before.
One could argue that all Star Wars is rehash of something else. And nothing is truly original.
The original movie has things lifted form Japanese cinema, Flash Gordon etc
The mandalorian lifts things from westerns.
The acolyte was said by the showrunner to be frozen meets kill bill.
The force awakens takes a lot from a new hope lol.
It's all in the execution ain't it. Sometimes it works and sometimes it fails.
Started off strong, with a great gimmick, but quickly descended into irrelevance.
( I'm talking about the Cassian subplot specifically, I understand the importance of Ghorman. ) No idea why they thought it would be worthwhile to waste so much time on a bunch of squabbling trust fund kid guerrillas. Meanwhile everyone else is like "where's Cassian" which we already did in season 1. I guess they "saved" the guerrilla plot to some extent when we found out what planet it was, but meh.
Also, was there even a single alien in the first episode? If there was my excuse is that I wasn't wearing my glasses. For obvious reasons the SW galaxy is always lousy with humans, but it feels like it's getting worse!
All the wheat farmers are "illegal" and "undocumented"... never change, Disney.
So Chandrilan high society parties to the same music used in Morlana brothels? Yeah... that actually checks out.
Nice to see another Rakata (KOTOR) shoutout... this time we learn they attacked Chandrila.
Brasso ARGGH. What a painful week it's been...

Come to think of it, does the Mothma family (you know, a powerful political family that literally has a galactic senator as the matriarch) have ANY alien friends? Because I don't remember noticing any at the wedding. Mon's even worse than her speciest Legends counterpart that was caught saying "Palpatine was a rodian in ewok's clothing" in the Farlander papers.
And after the wedding, the Chandrilan artifact from the Rakatan Empire conveniently found by Luthen is analyzed more closely...
Sculdun: It's a FAAAAAAKKKEEE!!!!
(Sculdun runs off to tell everyone about Luthen so Luthen kills him too)
Andor: In the Pale Moonlight
