      Definitely 100% done with the resistance era, and any canon material that comes after it.

      Kinda done with the clone wars era stuff, but at least there are still some niche avenues left unexplored.

      Also definitely done with anything rule of two. The idea of it has ruined any chances of writing actually interesting dark side characters, because you’ll always see the same cycle of student-master power struggle.

      It’s about time sith ideology was portrayed for what it is actually supposed to be, and not just “bad guys with red lightsabers”. Curious what this show will bring, but not quite convinced yet. Only thing that will definitely get that right is a truthful, both-sides, Old Republic era show covering all different factions of interest without presenting any one as morally superior.

    I’m optimistic about it. I always have to remember that there is unlikely to be the run-time or episode count to soak in all the world-building and let the characters breathe, but if they have a decent story to tell, this certainly looks the part.

    Looks like a fan film that scrounged up enough money to hire Carrie Ann Moss. Jedi fighting, yawn.

    Oh sweetheart, please just stop… The heart died a while ago, you’re just squishing the chest cavity now.

    Not sure about the wushu(?) Style Martial arts. It’s very distinctive and kinda breaks the immersion for me. But it looks cool and it would be nice to have a story fully unrelated to past plotlines.

    This is dumb but I can’t fucking stand that haircut that’s become the basic “young black guy” haircut in everything. The short dreadlocks “combed” over to one side. It’s the same level of cringe as the packet of dried noodles glued to the front top of the head style that so many shitty kids have.

    It’s one of those weird things where it just disturbs me deep into the soul so I can’t stand anything that features it. It makes anyone that has it look like a complete douchebag.

    I tried to play the new Prince of Persia game, but quit after 5 minutes and won’t try again just because the guy you’re playing as has that fucking haircut. I don’t know why I hate it so much.

      I mean, the hairstyle trend is annoying, but it’s a little pointless to complain about it so vocally.

      Like, it makes sense from like a Black or African-American YouTuber (I actually watched a couple videos talking about this hair trend cause I was curious) to talk about it and be annoyed, because it’s basically relegating representation to one thing.

      I did see a video where one guy is looking through the customization options for Hogwarts Legacy, and that game actually probably has the best Black hairstyles of any game I’ve ever seen.

      It was this video

      ETA: I didn’t realize the guy had the Killmonger cut until like the last 20 seconds of the trailer. I was more impressed by the assassin’s/acolyte’s hair with the red and the beads.
