Between Rebels and The Mandalorian, I’m now semi-convinced that Filoni is not a very good writer.

Thing is, I’d reckon Jedi survivors are a certainty. The Order is too widely spread and the Galaxy is very big. Even if in the wildest dreams of Palpatine, if Order 66 and the Inquisitors got 99% of them…there’d still be a few dozen of them left. And the Outer Rim is a very easy place to...

I mean, I’m not against the idea of some Jedi surviving, but it should be no more than a handful in the galactic arse crack of nowhere. Indeed, it would be better if they were just a bunch of frightened Padawans who were smart enough to keep their heads down and miss the Inquisitorial net that...

Dave Filoni's OC surviving the wrath of Vader thanks to Ezra "specialist snowflake in the galaxy" Bridger and time travel shenanigans, opens a can of worms I really wish had stayed shut. I am very much in the camp of pretending Star Wars: Rebels doesn't exist.

So…people completely unfit for the thrones they want? I’ve always found that a great irony of history. Those very competent at acquiring power tend to be shit at wielding it.

Too detached for their own bloody good.

I don’t think Star Wars can truly begin to heal until some bigwig in Disney finally grows a pair and does what needs to be done by throwing that grasping halfwit out on her arse. Kennedy killed the golden goose. How is she still in charge?

The actor who plays Cao Cao in one of the more recent Chinese adaptions of Three Kingdoms is absolutely awesome. Alas, he wouldn’t speak English. Three Kingdoms is actually a great thing to take inspiration from as it keeps in line with a lot of Star Wars’s more eastern influences. Granted, I...

Yeah. The EU got a lot of things wrong, but the Empire going full on “Three Kingdoms” with the Emperor’s death, and the nascent Republic having to still overcome some long odds, made sense. One of the mightiest war machines in sci-fi isn’t simply beaten overnight. Edit: Hell, going off that...

But... my dude. If the Empire's issue was that most of its offensive forces were gone so it has to make nice with the Rebellion, then it still has its Core and Home Fleet. Where the fuck would that Home Fleet be stationed!? Think. Disney. Think!!!

Also, just to add, Coruscant holds tremendous meaning to the Imperial identity and ideology. Why, when they surround it on all sides, would they allow the New Republic to have it?

And as the New Republic and the First Order immolated themselves, the Imperial Remnant sat on the sidelines laughing and knocking back a few drinks.

Also, I’d add that her decision to not kick Din whilst he was down demonstrates some hard learned tact, honour, and decency. This isn’t quite the person who unwittingly helped cause the death of her sister anymore.

Bo is probably better suited to rule and lead than Din by a country mile. Although he is a great warrior he has very little experience with leadership on such a scale, and was essentially raised by people who are crazy cultists by Mandalorian standards. Bo, whilst not the best at it, did grow...

So, Mauler (the man who produced the best critique on The Last Jedi) and co have been reacting to some of the Mandalorian Season 2 episodes. They've managed to get to episode two so far, and they've been pretty brutal with it. (Spoilers obviously) Reaction to episode 1: (You'll have to put it...

My dear chap. That's not fat. Temuera Morrison is shredded.

Given that it's in 9ABY...you don't think they might be setting things up for a tweaked Heir to the Empire scenario, do you?
