So is the thing about m-counts supposed to be a big reveal, or is this one of those things where you’re supposed to be in on the secret having already watched The Rise of Skywalker?

Basically

I guess what I meant was, are they assuming the audience does or doesn’t know what it means, because the characters don’t? I kind of feel it’s all leading to what we all saw in TROS.

Yeah this is the link between the days of the Empire and what Palpatine was doing in the background.


We saw this discussed in Bad Batch, Mando, and to less effect Rise of Skywalker with Snoke in a can.


Bad Batch has been really good this year with the last two episodes featuring the Trooper X program, who are frankly terrifying. But I have a sinking feeling, that beyond the death of a lot of clones that leaves us with Rex, Wolfe, Gregor being the only ones present during the later days of the Empire that.


Spoiler!

We're just such optimistic fans!

I feel like Padme...I'm dying because Star Wars is breaking my heart.

And it has the little girl from Logan…who is now 20.


Sounds cool.

Disney still pandering hard, I see.

Hope it's good. Easily one of the most intriguing projects in the mouse era given that it doesn't lean on an aspect or character from the Skywalker saga.

Doesn't look horrible. Kind of gives me Rogue One vibes.

"MOAR SPACE WIZARDRY!!!"

Which...visually, can look pretty cool, I'll grant you, but there has to be more to it than that, otherwise its not going to hold up.

Apart from Andor it feels like they're just trying to make these shows look good rather than tell a good story. Is it like the 'Avatar Effect?'

"Most of our target demographic dont care about story and are easily distracted by explosions, lightsabers and shiny objects! MORE!!"
