'more like leggy' than 'frontloaded'. But, sure. Point taken. Also with multipliers going down and down and down, we might have to adjust our thinking on what 'leggy' is. But a discussion for another time.

FB is the start of a (semi-)brand new franchise. MJ2 was the capstone to a established series. The reason people are making a big deal about FB's legs is it showing that FB is performing more like an leggy movie than a frontloaded one. At least that's the early signs. Who knows what weeks three, four, and beyond will show. No more. No less.

Fun little show tonight. Hondo is always a delight, the Rebels get some <SPOILER DELETED> which will almost certainly come up later on, and Ezra grows a little bit more. Nothing earth shattering, but it was fun, which is what matters. So, 7.8 to 8 out of 10 I think. Almost entirely because of Jim Cummings.

It's been a few decades, but I would think 1941 would count, I think. At least the cut that was in the theaters (and not the expanded version which is MUCH better received).

BOT's just practicing their freakout muscles for the big event next month. ---- Real Talk though, the Rogue One Weekend Thread has the potential to be a dumpster fire. In both directions. I just hope we're collectively smart enough not to draw TOO many conclusions from the preview number, whatever it may be. Personally I'm expecting it to be inflated due to frontloadedness, so I hope there won't be too many folks trying to apply a direct comparison with TFA's preview number (RO did % of TFA's preview therefore RO OW's will be around % of TFA's OW). Who am I kidding. We ALL know the thread is going to be full of those types of projections.

The Asgardian graced us with his presence on Pg 73, in case anyone wants to update the thread title.

Did she lose it or did she 'lose it'?

So so weird seeing this with your current avatar.

Hondo is love. Hondo is life.

The thing about TWiT is that it's all this, but is infused with heart. At its core it's really about a Coming of Age story and the relationship between a young woman, her father, and her younger brother. Throw in teenage feelings of attatchment and the first real stirrings of love (not lust, love) and it's not at all hard to see why this book (and its sequels) has been beloved for generations. In fact, I would say that say that the book is about love, and what happens to people when love is stripped away. Love of family, love of others, and, yes, love of oneself. It also depicts one of the nastier versions of Evil ever put to print, children's book or not. How IT is going to be put to screen and the society IT produced could make or break this film. Well that and they absolutely have to nail Meg Wallace. Meg Wallace is a fairly nuanced character which could go wrong if not handled right. So, intrigued. PS: Do agree that Oprah as Mrs. Which is inspired.

Separate point I'd like to bring up

This is a nice piece of insight, IMO: Much like another country that could be mentioned then.

Oof. A lot more where that came from on Bouie's timeline. As for the elephant in the room: I get the impression there's a lot of this floating around right now.

Yeaaaah, I think Thrawn fans will appreciate this episode. Just an educated guess, mind.

Only if was the one responsible for counting the votes. (@The Pumpkin Spiced Panda)

Not much to say here, so won't even bother with spoiler box. Nice episode, mostly quiet. Say, 7.75-8/10. Feels something like a breather episode, but competently made. Nice to see a focus on Sabine for once, at least.

Been there, Maul. Been there.
