He's in Rebels.

Since we saw the body, and it was Filoni that did the deed, I don't think there's much chance of him coming back.

Never was a fan of [spoiler]Thrawn[/spoiler] playing the role of the [spoiler]big bad[/spoiler] in the EU books but I suppose we can now fully expect [spoiler]a blued-up Lars Mikkelsen[/spoiler] to appear down-the-line in a live-action series/[spoiler]Rebels[/spoiler] sequel.

Tru-Fans know the Rosetta Stone of SW canon is the Holiday Special.

Quote from: TordelBack on 28 November, 2020, 11:58:17 AMDefinitely see the Strontium Dog thing, but then both come from similar inspiration.

Indeed, and early SD had a fair bit of influence from Star Wars I'll bet.

I love Leonard Cohen to an unreasonable degree, but it's very hard to believe that this trailer is professional work.

This project is so tied-up with those who campaigned for it and events in Snyder's own personal life that even song choices only mean something to them and no one outside the circle. A feeling of ill-judged pervades.

I think we got a lot of the names from the toys - Ray Yees, Sy Snootles, Max Rebo, Salacious Crumb etc.

That's Salacious B. Crumb, ahem.

Eagles aside, Homelander's design is not surprisingly closer to Moore & Totleben's Olympian era Miracleman.

These are explicitly unfertilised eggs, though. Even extreme pro-lifers might hesitate to call them babies.

It intentionally played the uncomfortable line but I suppose the other intention was to get away from the kid solely being seen and used as a cute and vulnerable magic puppet – not just a mogwai but also bit of a gremlin.

Mando Chapter 10 seems to be getting a bit of a kicking around the place, but I thought it was fantastic fun. Proper bit of world building, and that Child is a right little shit!

Where I think Mando has been consistently hitting the spot is in the moments with him and the lad, and it doesn't shy away from the survival challenge and danger of the SW Galaxy –even down to the simple matter of innocently eating a few eggs– but this season's story of the week format is working a lot better than last season's. I can't complain.
