Watched WW84 and thought it was just okay.  At 2.5 hours long, there were a lot of filler sequences (fighting/other) that could have been cut down significantly without taking anything away from the story.  But the story wasn't that good to begin with, so maybe that's why the fillers were as long as they were.  Sure am glad I didn't spend the $100+ I would have to see it in the theater with the family, that's for sure.

They wanted to go find that scene in AOTC where Kenobi and Jango were battling and the sonic bombs were dropped.

My sons said the exact same thing!  They didn't get the cannon fire during the chase so they wanted to hear that again too.

This season has been great, really love what they are doing with the story and characters.

I have a 15 and 16 year old that have been absolutely losing it over the fact that Boba Fett and Slave 1 are back.  They were seriously jumping off the couch after the extraction hoping they were going to get to hear Slave 1 fire at the TIE Fighters or drop a sonic charge.  The actually cheered out loud when the charge went off.  The pure joy of kids...

With only about 3 weeks left in the season, the AL Central is going to be a fun race to watch.  As of today, I think this will come down to the last series of the regular season to determine the playoff spots.

My sons and I were really blown away by the last two episodes.  The richness of the animation and the action sequences were fantastic.  For my 16yo to repeatedly say 'That is siiiick', when he's normally not impressed with anything, I thought was a great testament to just how well done this final arc is.  It only makes me wonder why they waited until the end to roll out this animation, unless it just wasn't available to them before now, or they didn't have the budget they have now to spend on it...  Either way, what a fantastic way to end the series.

The Sequel Trilogy / Re: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (SPOILERS)

Did I miss where Rey built her own lightsaber?  Was it in a book or cartoon or something else?  I don't remember that ever being discussed/shown, so when she ignites it at the end it surprised the hell out of me.  If it is the first time it's revealed, it seems like it a weird time to do it...

Recently saw both Ford vs. Ferrari and Knives Out.  Thought both were great.  Both Damon and Bale were fantastic in their roles.  I found it interesting that they did not mention Rian Johnson at all in any of the advertisements for Knives Out ahead of its release.  Was happy to see him rebound from TLJ with a strong film.

Dang, that's a great score.  Still need the Imperial Officer and the AT-ST Driver to complete the collection.

I've been talking about and researching for a couple of years but finally pulled the trigger on a 2019 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited.

This thing is sweet!

Nice!  Jeeps are the official vehicle of the city I live in.

I thought the same thing, although do we know if all of the remaining shows are roughly one hour in length?  I thought I recall reading that some were as long as two hours.

Longest episode has been confirmed at 80 minutes  :P

Saw it yesterday with the family.  While I loved the soundtrack and generally liked the movie, I didn't love it like I have a lot of its MCU predecessors.  I did like having Coulson back on the big screen and liked how Ronan's character was introduced, but it just didn't keep me engaged enough overall.  I'm hoping that the sequel connects this movie and where we find things in GOTG.

Not sure if this is a spoiler or not, so I'll preface the next part anyway...



What I'm really hoping is answered at some point, is how the tesseract ends up going from Howard Stark's possession to Mar Vell's possession.  In The Avengers, Fury tells Cap that Howard found it at the bottom of the ocean when he was looking for Cap.  So was Howard involved in Pegasus then, and that's how the tesseract changed hands?  That seemed like a pretty big plot hole to me, more than people complaining about the pager and it's lack of use in previous Avengers films...

If anyone is still looking for the Imperial Officer chase, send me a DM.  I ended up picking up an extra thinking I wouldn't win the auction  :P

Found a BB-8 at Target for $29.  The price wasn't marked on the shelf and didn't show up when I scanned it in the aisle, but it showed up on clearance at the register.  If you're able to find one in stores, it might be significantly discounted...

MikeT, those designs are amazing.  Really makes me miss these even more seeing excellent renderings like that!  Well done!
