My comment was not aimed at you, specifically. It was in reply to jaztermareal’s attempt at explaining the perception (not that they share it) that a diverse cast may signal a worse story. Which I am still very confused by. For example, your quote above. Where does this idea come from, that...

I am zeroing in on this part right here because I think this quote is at the root of my misunderstanding. How does this cast come at the expense of quality? Even as a knee-jerk irrational concern, I do not understand the connection. The story will be the story, no matter who was cast or their...

You are not wrong. I was on the aint-it-cool-news Talkbacks back in the day. It was ugly.

Noticing is one thing. Caring about it and considering it a problem is something else. And no, I did not notice until the complaining started. Because I do not care. Because it does not matter.

I reject your assertion that to be a “genuine” fan I have to get bent out of shape over a subpar tv show, or resort to a “Lucas violated my childhood” level of hyperbole. Just because I usually decide to shrug and move on with my life after a disappointing movie or show, does not make my love of...

I agree that Lizzo was poorly integrated. It was pretty lame. But VILE and REPREHENSIBLE? This is a TV show, not a moral crusade. I think the Disney shows have been very bad aside from Mando s1 and Andor, but it’s this intensity of the hatred is what I find…..curious. FWIW, I don’t think you...

I’m a lifelong Star Trek fan. So, yes.

The unique hatred towards this show before premiere, of all the Disney shows, remains utterly baffling. I remain ambivalently optimistic despite being underwhelmed by the clips, because I quite enjoyed the writer’s Netflix show, “Russian Doll.” I don’t know what got everyone so worked up, but...

Sorry, still not getting it. What is it about this cast lined up at a promotional event makes you assume they lack whatever it is they appear to lack? It’s just a photo of smiling actors on a red carpet, like every other movie premiere ever.

Haven’t seen it yet, looking forward to it, and could not care less how financially successful it is. I for one could not be happier that George was able to trick a studio into bankrolling another one of his movies that will create less than expected shareholder value.

Update, boba prices lowered

Bump

Added helmets from DX28 Vader

Looks great. Tempted by the standard release, dont need the speeder. Acquired but then sold the DX17 a while ago. I was very disappointed with the stand for the Speeder, it just kind of sit there. I was hoping for something like the speeder bike stands that would allow for some dynamism, but no.

I guess Howard’s complaining that “Disney won’t approve” was just BS, huh?
