Saying viewership of "Andor" isn't as high as "Skeleton Crew" therefore Disney will never do a prestige drama targeted mainly at adults again is like saying the viewership of "Young Jedi Adventures" isn't as high as "Ahsoka" so Disney will never do an animated project mainly targeted at kids again.

The dialog in every scene of the movies isn't word-for-word, beat-for-beat identical to the dialog in the novelization or the comic adaptation or the radio drama or the storybooks... so why is it an issue that it isn't identical between live-action TV (Andor) and animated TV (Rebels)?

So not including alt text is bad and makes my content inaccessible to visually impaired people and makes me ableist and evil. But including alt text is also apparently bad and makes my content fuel for training AI models and make me an AI-bro and evil. So what am I supposed to do here?

Let Lucasfilm Animation cook....

So I've seen 3 ads for "The Acolyte" (now streaming on Disney+) on YouTube today. Disney is spending money to promote a show they "canceled" 7 months ago (and a month before another Star Wars show has its big season 2 debut)? Don't know what to make if it but they should just #RenewTheAcolyte.

I'd focus on Star Wars as modern mythology. Myths teach values, culture, and morals. I'd clearly define the core values—politically, culturally and morally—and ensure all projects align with that vision. Star Wars should have a strong agenda beyond just fun spaceships, cool aliens, and laserswords.

If you have mutual funds, retirement plans, or any other managed investments, you might be invested in Tesla (or other Musk Co's) without realizing it. Contact your financial provider and ask them to divest due to ongoing risks and ethical controversies or you'll need to take your money elsewhere.

Hey, Disney --- Lucasfilm is more than just Star Wars!! Do more stuff like Indiana Jones, Willow, Monkey Island, Red Tails, Maniac Mansion, Labyrinth, Young Indy, Strange Magic, American Graffiti, or any new and original worlds and stories.... it doesn't all have to be lightsabers and spaceships.

Disney, please don't put a Gen-Xer in charge of Lucasfilm. They mostly tend to have a nostalgic-driven, limited-view relationship with Star Wars (and Indy) shaped by the OT’s release when they were 3-18 and the PT hitting when they were 20-35.

7 Star Was Celebration predictions: 1) "Andor" season 2 premiere (possibly even moving the worldwide debut on Disney+ up by 3-4 days). 2) "Visions" volume 3 release date announced (and an episode or two screened for attendees). 3) A new animated series announced. 4) New Lego special announced.

He has control of the Senate and the courts. He's too dangerous to be something something.

Despite what the grifters say, Lucasfilm isn't rushing scripts or fast-tracking casting deals for multi-million dollar movies just to meet the arbitrary deadline set by a fan convention in Japan. They'll have plenty to announce and show regardless; Celebration is not dictating production timelines.

Quick rant about streaming Lucasfilm titles— So Disney+ has a nice little "Lucasfilm Collection" page on the platform. It's mostly just tons of "Star Wars" stuff and the big 5 "Indiana Jones" movies...and then the "Willow" film, "Red Tails," "Strange Magic"...and a handful of related documentaries.

So government workers can't call it the "Gulf of Mexico" anymore, but deadnaming trans folks is fine?

I love the immersive concept of Galaxy’s Edge, but the rigid need to adhere everything to canon instead of prioritizing storytelling and unique experiences feels limiting. Explain to a normal family that they can't get a photo with Darth Vader or JarJar Binks simply because it would break "lore." 🙄

PREDICTION: The "Andor" season 2 trailer will drop sometime between March 10-21. Likely on a Tuesday or Friday (so either 3/11, 3/14, 3/18, or 3/21).

Too many fans view trailers as "content" and they want fun new content to consume, but they forget that trailers are just commercials. Releasing a stand-alone montage of clips for a weekly streaming series in February isn't necessarily the way to get people to watch and subscribe in April.

Number of days between trailer release and the show's debut: • The Mandalorian S1—15 • The Mandalorian S2—45 • The Book of Boba Fett—58 • Obi-Wan Kenobi—23 • Andor S1—11 • The Mandalorian S3—44 • Ahsoka—42 • The Acolyte—31 • Skeleton Crew—31 AVERAGE—33 Days We're 71 days out from Andor season 2.

So why do competitive sports even need to be gendered? If for "fairness" sake, then just have "classes"/"divisions" based on height, weight, hormone-level, or whatever is relevant to that competition. Why is gender/sex/genitals a part of the equation? And especially for things like chess or darts?

Where do people go for positive news? Places to find hope. Real facts. Legislative victories. Court rulings. Social justice progress at the state or international level. Tired of doom-scrolling through the sensational headlines, clickbait, ragebait, non-story chaos, or just trivial feel-good fluff.

Call them what you want—holding facilities, mass detention centers, internment camps, concentration camps, gulags, whatever. The name doesn’t change this truth: The people inside are human beings. Stripping away their basic human rights isn’t justice. It’s dehumanization. It’s cruelty. It’s evil.

I wish all the "Plo Koon in The Mandalorian season 2 finale" stuff actually leaked more and people concocted whole theories to justify his return and then when he didn't show up they'd either blame Kathleen Kennedy for taking Plo away from them or mock her for her failing to make Plo return.

Twitter gives people 280 characters in a Tweet. Bluesky gives you 300 characters in a Skeet. So we could all just use those extra 20 characters to add #RenewTheAcolyte at the end of every post here. #RenewTheAcolyte

Trump is willing to make American coffee prices jump by 25% simply because the the President of Colombia asked that migrants being returned to *checks notes* "be treated with the dignity that a human being deserves."

Listening to @starwarsexplained.bsky.social talk about all these rumors on their Last Week in Star Wars show and really thinking this might be what's going on....

Part of me kinda hopes all the Rotta and Embo leaks are just Favreau and Filoni doing purposeful misdirects and codenames like they did with Plo Koon for "The Mandalorian" season 2 finale. Imagine them sitting at Skywalker Ranch right now, grinning with glee at the crazy reactions and speculation.

Five things I wish #Lucasfilm would make available:

The "Popular Lists" feature on @letterboxd.social is useless when the section on every film is just: -Every Movie Ever (10,954 films - 77K likes) -Everything on Letterboxd (45,345 films - 35K likes) -Movie Roulette (19,577 films - 27K likes) -All Movies Sorted by Movie Posters (36,998 films - 21K)

My #StarWars Rankings (a thread) This includes both canon and "Legends" material. Items are grouped into three tiers and then simply listed alphabetically. Note: there are no "bad" or "awful" tiers... all Star Was is good. Ask me again next week and they'll probably change.

A guy just asked about Indiana Jones comics, and I'm like no, nothing anymore, and we were both like "how come there AREN'T Indiana Jones comics now?"

In general, Gen-X has a weird, sacred relationship with Star Wars (being between 3-18 for the OT's release and like 20-35 when the PT hit). More by Boomers (Lucas, Gilroy, R Howard, etc) or Millennials (BD Howard, Headland, Watts & Ford, etc); less from Gen-X (Abrams, Favreau, Filoni, etc.) please.

I don't get people who hate on the part of "Attack of the Clones" where Anakin says he doesn't like sand. Because if he was all enthusiastic about sand and said he absolutely loved it, they'd hate that too! So he can't dislike sand but he can't like it either? There's just no pleasing these people.

Things I think #Lucasfilm should do that aren't Star Wars related: - #IndianaJones publishing (Indy books/comics) - Release the #Willow TV series (either on Bluray or just back on Disney+) - Something with #MonkeyIsland (a new game, graphic novel, animated series?) - An #IndianaJones animated series

Wayseeker, The Crystal Crown, a Visual Guide, and The Art of books all coming in 2025. Lets make these bestsellers. #TheAcolyte #RenewTheAcolyte #SaveTheAcolyte

I just want an in-universe Star Wars podcast hosted by Cthallops and Dexter Jettster. Is that too much to ask?

What I'm liking about this app is being able to scroll and read good Skeets (is that what we're calling these?) and see good content and get good vibes and not be inundated with a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Not everything is an argument or debate or ad or bot or culture war or rage bait.

Back in the early days of the bird app there was #FollowFriday where you'd recommend other folks to follow. Since this place has those good ol' days feels (and since I have no idea how "starter pack" work), here are a few good people who also like #StarWars that you should give a follow to: (1/3)

Love seeing this blue guy on Bluesky. 💙 Well done, #NeelNation! @mizmarukawahara.bsky.social @vicrosearts.bsky.social @juliberry.live @molliedamon.bsky.social @staxrebo.bsky.social @jimmyturtle.bsky.social @ladyatomic.bsky.social @lledra.bsky.social @tonydelacruzart.bsky.social @stitchy.bsky.social

Hello there! You might know me from that other site, but I’ve hopped over here to keep up with the conversations. For now, I’m just taking a backseat, soaking in the vibes, and seeing how things flow before engaging in too much. But excited to be here where the air is less toxic.
