Sean Connery was 57/58 when Last Crusade was filmed. Crazy Ford is gonna churn one out at near 80Ford is 78 years old. Plenty of work for the stuntmen.

I hate this team
I have been holding out on D+ until they had more content I wanted to see. Looks like I will be joining in the near future.

It's funny that Sean Connery was only 12 years older than Harrison Ford when they made that movie. Ford looked still relatively young and Connery looked like an old man.

I said the exact same thing after
the Razor Crest got bopped. Boba Fett is going to die helping get Grogu back from Moff Gideon. Most likely holding back those crazy black droids while Din escapes in Slave 1 and he'll keep it going forward. Although, admittedly, I grew attached to the Razor Crest and was sad to see it blow up. Felt more attached to that ship than any characters in the sequel movies.

You know what's f***ing insane? They are finally coming out with a Baby Yoda figure (6"), but IIRC it isn't out until February. That's TWO CHRISTMASES they have missed out on. Absolutely crazy.

Disney is dumb. There I said it.

Disney can do whatever they want as long as they continue to line my pockets.
We'll see if they're overshooting here with these announcements, but I kind of doubt it.

One way to look at it is the franchise making up for lost time. It sat dormant for far too long in the 80s and 90s. Disney is shit, but as long as they stay out of the way of the creatives, it could be good.

In Favreau/Filoni we trust
more Indy's isn't the issue...the issue is they are going in the wrong direction...do a soft reboot of the series..new Indy and go back past Raiders

Exactly. Change to the SW franchise now. That is why SW episodes 7-9 were crap, because there was nowhere to go, which I predicted in the Entertainment Forum before they started writing Episode 7. They could have been great.

Meh. These kinds of episodes are fine, but when you have seasons of eight episodes, and each one is 30-40 minutes ... meh. It didn't move the story along.
Cara Dune needs to stop f***ing punching and elbowing dudes in the head when the dudes are wearing armor - it's just stupid. The first key to enjoying anything is the suspension of your disbelief - you have to believe that what you are watching is really happening. When they do something that sloppy it breaks the suspension of your disbelief. The armor punching is a Marvel staple, and one of the reasons those films aren't entirely successful. Minor but important point.

There’s no need for a new Indy. Let the franchise rest the way it is. They had their chance with Shia and never ran with it. They could have left Indy behind and kept up the mythos of the series or even took it in another direction

THAT SEISMIC CHARGE DOEEEEEE. Also, dat Mando message at the enddddd.
I never thought I would love fanservice calling back to Attack of the Clone, but here we are. The seismic charge was dope as hell.
Also, how are my Rhythm of War people doing? I forget who all was reading it, but have none of you f***ers finished it yet?

So was it an error last episode in saying that Burr was a tracker, and they only needed him because he knew imperial protocols and that he could find Moff

I am still in the process of moving, you impatient Aho, but I am about 1/3 of the way through.
I found this week's Mando episode incredibly dull outside the final 5 minutes or so.

I enjoyed this Mando episode too. Not as good as the last few but still a lot of fun and technically impressive.

I don't think I can agree that it didn't move the story along.
I think this episode moved forward two pretty big things:
1) making progress in finding Grogu because as soon as he was taken and the ship left the first thing I thought was "how the hell are they going to find that ship"
and
2) character development by showing that Mando is now willing to take off his helmet. It showed he's really that determined to protect the kid, even at the expense of doing something he was previously willing to die to prevent, and/or that what Bo-Katan said about the whole "can't take off your helmet" stuff being an extremist idea changed his mind. Either way, this is something he wouldn't have done in the first season.

The only cool Sci-Fi and Fantasy fans are readers who read Dune and LotR before Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope came out in 1977.
