I loved the juxtaposition between Andor rescuing Bix and the sacrifices made along side Mon realizing she can't control it all and letting loose. 

I think Mon losing Vel and Andor losing Bix in the next two weeks will lead to the final propulsion for the for drawing together of most of the rebel factions leading up to R1.

This show is extremely top-notch. 

Mon's demeanor during the wedding would lead you to believe that Perrin's speech landed with her.  I just have to feel for her though - she knows what she's getting her daughter into and offers her an out.  But Leida can't see that for what it is, and shuns her mother once again.  During the party it seems like Mon takes on an attitude of F*** this.

The next big beat seems like it's probably going to be the Ghorman massacre.  It's a major event in canon and the storyline involving Krennic and the ISB seems to be headed that way.  IIRC, it might be the event that leads to Mon Mothma's eventual departure from the Senate.

Oh don't worry, I'm buying them!  I'm just not going to also buy other figures to get cloaks for these.

I'm 95% sure we'll get cloaked versions for Ray Stevenson, then uncloaked and cloaked versions for Rory McCann.

I have been picking up some of the S7 Sesame Street Reaction stuff, mostly in the $16-18 range on sale at Amazon.  $21 each is just too much for 5POA stuff.  I'll be quitting those unless I can still find deals on Amazon.

Hasbro Extends Long-Running Strategic Relationship with Disney Consumer Products for Premier Star Wars and Marvel Franchises

"Under the extended agreement, Hasbro will continue to develop a wide range of products for families and fans of all ages, based on the iconic brands. This includes bringing characters from the Star Wars galaxy to life in action figure form through the highly popular lines, The Black Series and The Vintage Collection, as well as engaging new generations of fans with Lightsabers™ toys and other kids’ and preschool toys themed around characters from Darth Vader to The Mandalorian."

I guess all the rumors about Hasbro losing money and wanting out were just click-bait fodder for the youtube trolls...

It's not rumors - the Hasbro CEO and CFO were saying as much on corporate earnings calls.  There's a legal obligation for corporate officers to be transparent in those investor communications, otherwise they might be guity of breaking securities laws.  I think it's likely that the sales performance of licensed merchandise might been a major factor in setting more favorable terms for Hasbro this time around.

I’m just going to wait two months and pick up the caped variants that are 100% going to happen.
