I love the part where Neo looks at Trinity and says “I know, kung fu!“

Well, it’s entirely possible the director screwed with the timeline for all we know.


Nah. 100% guaranteed.

I think we will see some significant flashback scenes featuring the Jedi she is hunting. The Jedi she poisoned is the kid that played Tommen in GoT and the supporting actor in 1917, so hiring him just to age him up doesn’t seem like a smart move unless we see him young.


There are shots in the trailers of all of them young, so flashbacks are coming

I’ve always loved how in the original Star Wars they named the fat character “Porkins”.

Yes, because it’s simply not good and normal people find shoehorning in gender and racial political messaging off putting when all they want to do is enjoy watching a good story.

You can pretend that’s not happening, but you’re not fooling anyone if you claim you can’t see it.

Where did I ever say it's not happening? I'm well aware it's happening. The difference is the opposite of what you said though, there are people (yourself included, apparently) who let shoehorning and messaging of any degree distract them from a good story. And then there are people who don't allow it to distract them from a good story, or just the story in general. Good or bad. Especially when it doesn't hit you right over the head constantly with it.

I don't even know if this show will be any good, I enjoyed the first two episodes, but I enjoyed the first two episodes of Secret Invasion as well and ended up hating that show. Same may happen here. I have no clue, but like I said, so far I'm enjoying it. Is it perfect? Of course not.

as this story is set a full century before the events of Phantom Menace


acktually, it said it's 100 years before the rise of the empire, which I would assume means the end of Revenge of the Sith.

If the rumors about what happens in Ep3 are true, the entire central theme of Star Wars is ruined

i would actually like to hear why you think people are hating on it

personally, i dont even care if it's good or not. i'm not going to watch it. i have zero good will left towards Disney Star Wars. i am beyond "fatigue" or even "apathy". they have done so much deliberate damage to the original IP, that i am now actively hoping for their failure. if Disney burns to the ground tomorrow, either literally or metaphorically, i will celebrate their demise.

if that's what you think people on this board are hating on it, then i guess you're right. frick disney and everything about that company.

You could have save the trouble typing all that and just said you’re fine with having your entertainment laced with heavy doses of leftist propaganda.

Call me crazy, but I prefer my entertainment be an escape from the unrelenting barrage of leftist propaganda and DEI crap that permeates almost every facet of life today. Is that too much to ask?

I keep seeing rumors about ep. 3 being alluded to. But what are these rumors?

Two lesbians have twins born of the Force

Anakin's virgin birth, fall into darkness, and rebirth to savior are Jesus parallels. Anakin now means nothing.
