I've liked the show so far, but it does kind of feel like it's a bit too long/slow at some points.  Hoping the action ramps up a bit more over the last 6 episodes.

Yeah, they could have shortened the raid prep episodes by at least 50%.  Learning about everyone's background and all the idle chit chat around the campfire is wasted when nearly everyone ends up dead.  If it doesn't help develop Cassian's character arc it should be cut way back.

Anyone watch She-Hulk? 

Is it worth watching?  I watched the first few episodes but lost momentum.   

I plowed through Moon Knight and ultimately thought it wasn't worth my time.

I mostly enjoyed Hawkeye, Loki, and Falcon & WS.  Wanda Vision was so-so.

I'm glad to see the heist got all wrapped up after a couple of slower episodes.

I hope we get a little more in to the motivation behind Cassian eventually joining the Rebellion as he still seems like a solo opportunist at this point. I'd also like to see if that bit about him looking for his sister plays in to the larger story.

There are a lot of sub-plots and characters still in play, so I'll be interested to see how it all gets tied up, or if some of them are just let dangling.

So did anyone get the sense that the doctor was based in part on Dennis Muren?

He did kind of look like him although I'm not sure if it was intentional or not.

Yeah, I'm not sure why I bit on these kitbashes.  I like the KX droid for The Mandalorian flashbacks, but I don't need the other two and probably should have just passed completely.

I could have told you that.  Because the body for Havoc is exactly the same as what we got in the ARC Troopers 3-pack, the individual releases of each of those troopers, as well as the three Gaming Greats ARC Troopers.  Each one has a removable helmet.  The only differences in the sculpts is probably with Jesse's bald head!

So is Havoc just a repackaging of a figure we've already received?  Or is it a new kitbash with a slightly new helmet?  Or a new head sculpt underneath the helmet? 

Sounds like you're saying its a kitbash with the same body and Jesse's head?

Not sure I need this anymore.

Update - it appears "25 holiday-themed droids" was a typo.  The text has now been revised to read:

"Comes with 24 build-a-droid pieces that make five full droids–plus a bonus completed droid making six droids in total."

Sweet.  Glad its been confirmed and I'm not getting some weird off-scale droids.

Hopefully these are all new and not re-issued droids from previous years, like they packaged with the Halloween droids (I loved those, but at least you knew what you were getting).

Based on the "Features 25 holiday-themed droids", some folks are speculating that it is not a 3.75" "build-a" set but potentially repaints of those mini "build-a" droids that came out in late 2018 - https://www.fanthatracks.com/news/collecting/disney-announce-star-wars-mini-droid-blind-packs/

That would kinda suck.  I bought the advent calendar assuming it was new 3.75" build a droids.  I guess we'll see what my $70 will get me. 

I'm afraid to wait and see what this is as it might be sold out in a couple of days...

Do we have any more idea on exactly what five droids you get with this?  Are they all new or repeats of something they've offered before?

Yeah, I liked the name drops that were supposed to be guests at the dinner.

I must have missed this - what names did they drop?

Another slightly slow episode, but the tension is building.  I hope the heist comes soon and that its not the entire plot of this series.  I'm assuming there is more since we've got Mon Mothma, and the failed security officer side stories that must play a role in a larger story.

I'm interested to see what happens with the Mon Mothma story line, and feel this could be a series by itself.  What is going on with her relationship with her husband?  He seems to be a loyalist and they've gotten to the point where they seem to open despise each other.  There must be a reason they're still together where their power and influence is enabled.

What is different about this one vs. what they've already released?

It was live briefly last night.  Hopefully there is still stock left as I missed it last night and have been mashing the reload key for awhile now.
