  • But this is 200 years before the fall. We’re supposed to see how the Jedi lost their way. This is just a bunch of incompetent assholes with authority. The witches call them kidnappers and they barely deny it while nearly embodying it. Where’s the honor? Where’s the mysticism? Why must we continually suffer this bag of dicks while being told ‘this is what they were always supposed to be.’




  • After the first 3 episodes felt like a 00’s Disney teen sitcom I considered giving up on this show, but this week felt more coherent to me. The forests of Khofar is the best locale so far, the conversational writing has improved and so the acting feels more natural (mostly). I’m still not thrilled that the Jedi Order is being portrayed as mostly antagonistic, and I’m a bit concerned that the best episode so far is one in which very little happens, but the last scene actually has me excited for next week. Here’s hoping that the second half overshadows the rocky start.


  • It may be a bit early to make this call, but I’m ready to retcon this entire show out of canon. It makes too many bold new assertions about the Star Wars IP without grasping the basics of the lore. It then compounds these missteps with lackluster choreography, cheesy writing, a horribly misguided plot, and several lapses in logic that not even Dave Filoni could explain away if you gave him a 7 season animated series. And it’s only been 3 episodes.

    Lee Jung-jae’s back must really hurt after carrying this entire show alone. I wouldn’t blame him if he never worked with western media ever again.




  • I went through a period of severe depression following some life-changing events. These changes caused me to suddenly become isolated from my family so my wife was really all I had. I lost my job and struggled to find another one in the industry which only made things worse and made it so that we didn’t really have money for therapy. It was a rough few years, but we made it through.

    The best thing you can do for him right now is to be there for him and remain his ally. Try to make him smile when you can and give him hope for a brighter future. If you want to do something more pro-active then you could try to keep his space clean or cook healthy meals for him as these things will help with his mental hygiene, but it’s mostly up to him to make the necessary effort to get better.

    Make sure you take care of yourself, too. Practice good mental hygiene so that you can stay positive and motivated to make it through this. You got this.

    I mean, isn’t all Indian food overspiced? You could probably make curry out of just about any meat or meat substitute and it will still taste like spices.

    American food has a higher focus on meat flavor, which is why so many meat alternatives try to imitate meat. You can buy vegan Indian or Chinese food here that tastes decent, but it’s not a steak.
