    Of course I run out of likes exactly at the #1 reveal   :hahaha:

     

    Thank you @Cap for this amazing list and reveals. Great work, that was awesome.

     

    I'm so glad The Apartment made it that high, I was one of the #1 votes, their story is so moving to me. They literally save each other as they were so miserable before.

    Prompt: Will tracing their names together in the sand.

     

    The Jack and Elizabeth shippers made a VALIANT effort, but Will and Elizabeth still came out at the OTP of POTC.  Oh, and their wedding?  Top Five Weddings in Silver Screen History!!  Soooooo fun.

    The prompt is a perfect fit lmao

    Wow.  This is a really great thread.

     

    Jumping in at a key point, but the whole thing (in both parts) is an EXTREMELY excellent read:

     

     

    Some food for thought here and perhaps a catalyst for "why now" and "why did Putin so badly miscalculate what might happen".

     

    Highly recommended reading.

     

     

    Excellent thread indeed! Great read

    Whatever Williams would've come up with then would've been infinitely better what's hes probably come up with now.

     

    Now let's hold our horses, Rey's Theme is still one of the best themes he's ever written, and he did that 7 years ago so relatively recent compared to his body of work.

    Just binged this.

     

    What are they even doing with these new Star Wars properties? Like what's the point? They just keep and keep and keep on banking on nostalgia and rehashing the same material, and as someone who wore down his own VHS tapes of the OT so much so they wouldn't play anymore, I am getting tired of it. And I am the target audience!

     

    Spoiler

    Grogu is so cute I love him.

     

    But nothing matters in Luke's story because we already know how it ends. We've seen the sequel trilogy. The Empire comes back, Rey is the Last Jedi as Luke failed to do anything meaningful with the new Jedi Order... so why show us those things? There's no tension or sense of progression.

     

    All this content between the OT and the ST we know amounts to a bunch of nothing. I'm at the point where I just wish they would nuke down the ST from canon and start over. It's that bad. Multiverse the shit out of this story? :ph34r:

     

    But above all, this show failed to be a good Boba Fett show as he was sidelined for a third of the episodes. It's enormously disjointed. And utterly boring, except for a few genuinely inspired sequences. Fennec Shand was actually a much better Boba Fett than he himself ever was in any of the episodes. Lmao!

     

    Question for those who follow the timeline more:

     

    Spoiler

    I don't understand how Ahsoka can be there? What was she doing during the events of the OT? Did she really just let the Empire take control over the galaxy and not do anything? Why wouldn't she help the Rebels? I haven't watched Clone Wars or Rebels or anything but I'm wondering why a Jedi would let those things happen and do nothing, and why she's suddenly doing things.

     

    I'm a big action movie fan (I watch 100+ every year) and this show also features some of the worst action directing I've watched in the last few years. Absolutely horrendous and uninspired. All directed by Robert Rodriguez so he has to go. His eye for action rhythm/editing/flow is pitiful. Never direct action again my man, you're terrible!

     

    I like seeing exciting cameos as much as the next guy, but not if the cost of those cameos is the whole narrative.

     

    5/10

     

    For the record I'd give The Mandalorian  about a 7.5/10
