Our own @hollyfrey.bsky.social weighs in. This is the way.

I interviewed Matt Michnovetz about the writing of Maul: Shadow Lord…

Round 2.

The last 24h of the discourse around TMAG was exhausting (a taste of things to come, no doubt), so listening to Bryan and Kingston discuss the movie with joy and excitement was a much-needed palette cleanser. Because, ultimately, that's what movies — and Star Wars — are all about.

Here's a bit of an interesting blast from the past. Back at Star Wars Celebration V, I proposed a panel called "Why We Love the Prequels" and it was me, SW artist Tom Hodges, FX animator Jesse Hildreth, Kyle Newman, James Arnold Taylor, Dave Filoni, and TFN's Eric Geller. It was a PACKED room.

I wonder if there's a recording of this panel floating around somewhere. This was 2010, a few years before @fullofsith.bsky.social started and I'd been recording panels as a matter of course.

So, my 10-year old and I recorded some spoiler-free thoughts about The Mandalorian and Grogu after seeing it last night. In short: we loved it. Listen in:

The only review you need to hear of The Mandalorian And The Grogu is this 10-year-old kid hyped about "Buff Stinky" and thinking the movie is too short while his dad tries to talk about matinee serials, Kurosawa, and the movie being too long. Bless you, @fullofsith.bsky.social.

So, @swankmotron.com and his 10 year old did a spoiler-free reaction episode to The Mandalorian and Grogu. Listen in and hear all about "Buff Stinky" and the other places we went. fullofsith.libsyn.com/fos/episode-...
