That was an amazing ep, I don't mind going though some weird ones to pay off with episodes like this, fuck off haters.
- It made me want to punch myself... does that make me a hater?ArchitectofFate
- Them Praetorian guard guys were scary.zardoz
- punch yourself to make sure you aren't dreaming that we get such stunning visuals in a TV show.BabySnakes

Episode seven ... Lol/facepalm/wtf? .. after six lacklustre episodes they finally get around to a delivering a decent plot/story, some great cameos and great visuals/action sequences ...

Sigh. This show is just so much fucking fun.
Second ep is great. And Katee Sackhoff is still hot.

This Obi Wan show is so shit. Fuck me why they keep fucking Star Wars up?
- Follow the dollars.utopian
- Leia is a terrible child actor, much easier with a puppet I guess, still better than Book of Boba though, that was utter dogshit.fadein11
- Remember that thing you liked as a child? Bet you really wanted to know every single detail about the characters ruining any memory you had of it?PhanLo
- nice design throughout, which is always a huge part of why I love(d) it all.fadein11
- I totally disagree. This is the first time in ages I feel like they're on the upswing. It's actual Star Wars, not inconsequential bounty hunter stories.CyBrainX
- the chase scenes are an insult to people's intelligence. the story telling is fucking awful.Bluejam
- the chase scene was a terrible low point yep.fadein11
- watching the new stranger things it's night and day - it's actually really well shot and directed.inteliboy
- Are we talking about the 'chase Leia through the woods' scene? Because yeah ... even cartoons do better than that.Continuity
- yep, that's the one I meant, appalling.fadein11

- Every child actor in every Star Wars movie is super annoying. This little Laia is probably the least of any of them.BK

- Shitty writing, endless self reference, retconning, fucking with fan expectations, only mining previous SW for ideas. They need to stop and think in new ways.MrT

- The Mandalorian was a return to basics. It worked beautifully. And now, back into Star Wars' own ass again.jagara
- I think part of the reason The Mandalorian worked over any SW since Rogue One is the fact Jon Favreau made it. If there's one thing he does well, it's ...Continuity

When I was watching that laser gate scene, my first thought was this scene from Blazing Saddles. Same energy:

Is there a boba fett thread?
Man that last episode was terrible, two things irked me, the first was the western theme of that town in tattooine, why western? Felt so off, so cheesy and the second and major one was that we’re still in uncanny valley with you know who. Just looked terrible.
Why bother? A spitting image puppet would have looked better.- Sorry this was for episode 6 of boba fett which featured the mandalorian again_niko
- I enjoyed the shit out of it. normally that stuff irks me too... but I dunno, was entertained.inteliboy
- https://static.wikia…tank02
- well i liked it.Brabo_Brabo
- Stopped watching about 2-3 episodes in...
The Mandalorian set the stakes too highgrafician - graf - watch the last two. they are pretty much Mandalorian episodes. the other episodes are bad.inteliboy
- Why western? The entire show is a western.monNom
- yeah basically but this is straight up spaghetti western, 6 shooters and everything. Don't get it, it's in a galaxy far, far away lol_niko
- I gave up on that series a few episodes ago. It's just intentionally mediocre.CyBrainX
- CyBrainX2
I love the series but saying it's the best Star Wars has done is an overstatement. The plotlines are very thin in comparison. The main character needs something. He runs into opposition and does them a favor in exchange for what he wants. It's a bit formulaic.
Also, making Star Wars with no discussion of the force or having Jedi is a handicap. Take the episode with Rosario Dawson. Didn't that one feel like a breath of fresh air in comparison to most episodes?- Isn’t supposed to be a Space Spaghetti Western?nb
- It reminds me of MTV's Aeon Flux or Wylie Coyote and the Road Runner but better. It's less ambitious than a Star Wars film.CyBrainX
- In all fairness...it's probably less ambitious than Star Wars because they have to produce dozens and dozens of shows. Quantity goes up...quality goes down!utopian

Finished season 2 last night. Wow.
I struggled to get through season 1 because the show just wasn’t hitting the right notes for me. Too corny out of the gate, unimpressive rubber suit aliens, a little heavy on the lame jokes and one liners. Not enough of the lore.
But season 2 was totally different. Throughout the season i was continually impressed. Some of the best Star Wars action scenes and content I’ve seen in any movie. So much fun.
- in any Star Wars movie, that is.monospaced
- They seriously stepped up the production budget. Even the sound mic was leagues better in my opinion. Incredibly immersive and I even jumped a couple of times.monospaced
- *mix (I enjoy a good surround setup).monospaced
- StoicLevels-1
Really dug the second season but I felt the season tailed off a little production design wise after the 4th episode. I'm not sure they used the majority of the budget on those episodes or if COVID affected the situation.
Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the season even though I didn't like the "Luke Face".
Those first episodes with the sandworm and later the ice spiders were like a realization of 70-80s Eerie Mag Pulp. A sci-fi'ers wet dream and truly fantastic television.

- good riddance, couldn't act.tank02
- she was ok most of the time. So weird choosing sharing bizarre social media posts knowing it will end your career.fadein11
- 21th century McCarthyism.
pitiful...gonzalle - what did she think would happen lol, she was employed by Disney ffs.fadein11
- gonzalle go whine somewhere elsetank02
- Awful. Everyone should be concerned by this, regardless of politics.MondoMorphic
- You would only need to be concerned if you were a racist bigot. I don’t have to be concerned because I’m not one of those. Simplemonospaced
- She used nazis wrongGnash
- I don't get what's 'abhorrent' about what she said - she made a tastless and over-inflated comparison, but it wasn't exactly 'abhorrent'.Nairn
- Cancel culture has overtaken rational thinking.
Shame.ideaist - THAT being said, I've done / said some shit I regret, BUT it's human nature to make errors.ideaist
- Complaints about "Cancel Culture" are commonly used as an excuse for overt racism.CyBrainX
- The internet was supposed to accelerate free speech. Instead it has coddled sensitivity.
There is a fine line and we all walk it.ideaist - Actually, I guess it has really accelerated both... Meh.ideaist
- The worst part is her initially confused posts could have helped bridge a gap in terms of if people reached out, but cancel culture strikes. sucks all aroundcolin_s
- Does it really need to be explained that she's hinting at giving the Nazis a free pass on what happened to the Jews?CyBrainX
- Yes, we cancel people sometimes - because their behavior is atrocious.CyBrainX
- Famous ignorant bigot gets cancelled. Everyday ignorant bigots bitch and moan about it. Seems about right.garbage
- Just let these fools just continue to run their mouths poor... Best outcome! Chat shit get banged... financially.necromation
- given the USA is a business, very frightening to think "if you say what your boss doesn't like they'll fire you" is gonna be the next whilecolin_s
- It's sad companies go to such lengths to protect their image. It's a bad precedent and to what end?SteveJobs
- @stevejobs exactly, this is more about the press a woman who said something marginally offensive is going to get for being firedcolin_s
- At what point do we just cancel social media. Does more harm than good.stoplying
- not for he shareholdersimbecile
- I must be missing something, because I really don't see how she's giving Nazis a free pass - she's using what they did as an example of 'her grievance'?Nairn
- you’re not missing anythingGnash
- She simply pointed the nazi-analogizer gun in the wrong directionGnash
- Oh, and the show sucks anywayGnash
- Man, QBN has its heart (& soul) in the notes, eh?ideaist
- a fucking ridiculous situation blown out of proportion by a menagerie of fucking idiots
- it's a Jerry Springer show where everyone's mainlining 'outrage' ...Bluejam - she has a long history of spouting Trumpian nonsense on social media, perhaps it's just a brand not wanting to be associated with that any longer.fadein11
- It's all fun and games until what's being cancelled is "liberal" or "progressive" or whatever woke shit folks are worshipping.MondoMorphic
- The bitch had it coming.....who is she btw ?i_was
- I dont align with her politics, but i can tell she didnt say anything offensive just used ww2 to make a point. There is a cancel culture.cannonball1978
- ^Nairn
- Shhhh cannonball! Only nazis think cancel culture is realGnash
- tHey sTiLL hAve A VoIce!Gnash
- antimask, voterfraud, antivax, nazi references probably don't align with Disney's brand values (esp the Nazi refs lol). It's really not complicated is it.fadein11
- what's amazing is the outrage it causes that continues to feed the twitter beast.fadein11
- This has nothing to do with social media or cancel culture, Disney has long history of only associating with squeaky clean public personas. They have to be 100%zarkonite
- kid friendly and non-controversial at all times, it's what they do. You can find examples of the same shit happening in the 80s...zarkonite
- Mondomorphic is right. Fuck wokeism and its vile followers. All this fuckery is doing is getting us to self-censor. Thought police anyone?? :(cherub
- what zarkonite said, it's just about $$$, not freedumb of speech. Perhaps she will go onto better things, she clearly enjoys the attention.fadein11
- and lol @ people thinking it was just that tweet. Clearly not SW fans :) this has been going on for months/yearsfadein11

- Personally I couldn't care less about her comments, but also have a hard time summoning any outrage over the fact she was fired.yuekit
- She said Alderaan thingsscarabin
- Isn't that Disney's freedom of speech or freedom of association to decide who they'd like to work with? It would be nice if they were more laid back about it Iyuekit
- guess but this is not Nazi Germany lol. it's just a few people at a company making a casting decision.yuekit
- Agreed. Using Nazism as a metaphor does deserve to get cancelled https://i.imgur.com/…monNom
- Disney just doesn’t like the old-times holocaust references. They’re working with a country that puts people in concentration camps today though!Gnash
- noT tHaT ComPlicAted!Gnash
- Well you know some people have claimed Walt Disney himself was anti-semitic.yuekit
- So sure maybe they are hypocritical, maybe they are terrible people but at the end of the day what are you gonna do about it? It's not the government doingyuekit
- this, it's a few people...maybe even one person...making a decision.yuekit
- well at least she only canceled instead of being treated like a jew in the camp. now she has time to spend all that money she made from Disney.pango
- Someone else is welcome to hire her, maybe this will even help her career. In fact someone should cast a movie only consisting of cancelled celebritiesyuekit
- being intellectually deficient can get you blacklisted, apparentlyStoicLevels
- similar to those Expendables movies where they collected together all the washed up action stars in one film.yuekit
- ok b-movie actress. not a great actress. that said, i enjoyed her character in the MandoStoicLevels
- First time I've seen a female action character actually look like she could beat up men.i_monk
- Guise! STOP!
Scarabin won the thread.
move one.zarkonite - If she Cara'd, she would have Dune things differently.
@scarabin may still have won.
; )ideaist - @yuekit "the cancelled". Get it doneStoicLevels
- Cancel culture has lost its meaning. You can’t have someone who doesn’t understand Nazis in a fantasy about fighting space nazis. Not in the mouse house.jtb26
- I did enjoy her in the show. More ripped women doing action. It’s neat.jtb26
- ThE OuTrAgE iS LiKe a DruG!fadein11
- California is an at-will state, which implies that at any moment of jobs with or without reason an employer can terminate you for any reason. Conversation over.imbecile
- lol at scarainteliboy
- Let’s call it Accountability Culture. “Cancel Culture” is a marketing term which reverses the victimhoodscarabin
- It was called boycotting before and it’s nothing newscarabin
- Its cancel culture because it canceled her out of a job.cannonball1978
- Disney having freedom of association or at-will employment doesn’t mean it’s not being canceled. She got canned, lost her agent, and got smeared in the press.cannonball1978
- She cant act anymore after the bullshit character assassination and so yes, thats getting canceled.cannonball1978
- https://i.imgur.com/…ok_not_ok
- If ideologues dont like the term then maybe they should be less punitive in their optics-level moralizing.cannonball1978
- Peak capitalism. Corporate thinks they'll lose money so they fired her.pango
- Bwahaha That zinger deserves a golf clap @scarabinthumb_screws
- If that image wasn't used with the offending tweet it wouldn't of blown up so much.thumb_screws
- woot capitalism!pango
- at the end of the day. it's all about money for Disneypango
- yup, can't be good for a major brand having a Trumptard on board right now.fadein11
- character assassination? no. she posted he ignorant beliefs on a public forum. it's not CA when everyone can read what SHE wrote. she "cancelled" herself.imbecile
- Pedro Pascal's (the actual Mandalorian) sister just came out as trans. If he doesn't want to work with her, game over. What you say and do can create a tense..shellie
- ... work environment, even if what u do or say happens outside of work. that's why many companies do social media audits & have social media clauses for emplomeshellie
- If its in her contract fine. But that tweet had nothing to do with mando’s rl sibling and her tweet said nothing denigrating to any group.cannonball1978
- Fn hold Bill Burr to the same standard then.cannonball1978
- Im not right leaning and the whole thing is a farcical parody. And you all spinning it into “accountability” and other pseudoresponsible terms that dont applycannonball1978
- What did bull burr do? I don't know any of these drama till you guys posted it.pango
- Pedro Pascal has said much of the same things she's said. She wasn't cancelled for his sake.MondoMorphic
- Is it possible people are more sensitive towards comments like hers because of the whole overrule the election, invade the capitol thing that just happened?yuekit
- what did Pedro Pascal say?pango
- also wow she was dropped by her own agency as well. must have pissed some decision-making people.pango
- and apparently, Lucas film has been planning to fire her for over 2 months. twitter was just the last straw.pango
- I was preparing an an outlandishly stupid comment to spice things up but some of you have already taken care of that.palimpsest
- I guess this is what it takes to get kicked out of the Rebel Alliancejmckinno
- Pedro pascal used the power of nazis for good, not evil!Gnash

- On a side note Disney is know for deleting black people from movie posters to sell tickets in China - https://en.wikipedia…jmckinno
- Disney can do whatever the fuck they want because it's a free market, maaaan.palimpsest
- PrIvaTe cOmpaNy!Gnash
- @jmckinno, China didn’t vote for trump so they can’t be racistGnash
- China didn't vote for Hillary either which makes them de facto Trump supporters.palimpsest
- Damn, you’re right!Gnash
- I'm old enough to remember when the big controversy in USA was whether a baker should be forced to sell a cake to a gay person...how the tables have turned huhyuekit
- To compare nazis to anything is nazism. There are things which are forbidden to compare with nazis. Only things which are allowed can be compared with nazis.drgs
- No. Compare is fine. She just missed the mark.pango
- She has RBF but looks like she knows where to get good weedscarabin
- She will be baking piesStoicLevels
- Somewhere in this mess someone mentioned "thought police". Yeah, maybe we should police stupid thoughts, because they lead to stupid actions.garbage
- Because again, she used her platform to promote antivax, anti-mask, and made the absolutely idiotic comparison of conservatives being oppressed like Jews in..garbage
- She had the balls to admit she was a Trump supporter why can't y'all have the balls to admit that's why she got fired?palimpsest
- ..Nazi Germany. Show me that famous historical equivalent where Jewish people stormed the Reichstag, killed some people and the Nazis were like..garbage
- .."Hey it's cool guys, let's just let it heal." Fuck off. Play stupid games with your platform, win stupid prizes.garbage
- As far I know, bigotry is still legal. We should all embrace it.palimpsest
- And if you're worried about losing your job over something similar, you're outing yourself as a stupid person with stupid ideas.garbage
- Exactly, garbage. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
We can all agree on that. Even if we don't all have the same level of hindsight.palimpsest - Disney did nothing wrong!palimpsest
- " if you're worried about losing your job over something similar"
Same as govt surveillance. No need to worry if you're not doing anything illegal.palimpsest - Even when you're not doing anything illegal.
Power to the corporations!palimpsest - Actually yeah...the more I read about this Disney did nothing wrong at all. She posted stuff suggesting COVID deaths are made up, linked to David Icke rallies,yuekit
- QAnon, the usual nutty conspiracy stuff. If some random office worker got fired for that you could legitimately claim it was discrimination I guess. But whyyuekit
- should Disney be under some obligation to make this person the star of her own show and represent their brand?yuekit
- She wasn't the star of the show. If you think people with her views should be fired for sharing them we're going to have an unemployment problem.palimpsest
- They were creating a new show based around her character is what I read.yuekit
- In that case it's totally justified.palimpsest
- Listen to you retards justifying firing someone because they have a different viewscannonball1978
- "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Am I right guise?" It's like you can trace the groupthink through phrases you learned in your social media bubbles.cannonball1978
