Cause otherwise, I got nothing.
An oldie but a goodie - so old the couple of uses I can find have no attribution to where it came from. As is the case with the second irresistible meme. Because if the bad guy in last sequence of films is Kylo Ren (played by Adam Driver), that implies the universe must create a need for a Kylo Stimpy to maintain symmetry.

Last year I did a bit of a summary of my Star Wars life. I was going to say that I hadn't seen any Star Wars content since the last trilogy, episodes 7, 8 and 9 with Daisy Ridley (Rey Skywalker), Adam Driver (of course), John Boyega (Finn) and many more. That's what I originally thought, but it's not complete at all. I watched Rogue One - "the prequel" movie, the original Andor series on Disney+/Hulu streaming, the Obi Wan Kenobi series, the first two Mandalorian series and probably more that I can't remember now. I mentioned being aware of the Mandalorian and Grogu which is a full length feature film that IMDB says is coming May 22 - (they didn't have a date last year). That's just three weeks from last Friday (May 1). Yeah, I think I've been following SciFi, reading and watching, since I was about 12.
No expects Mandalorian and Grogu to be good. The series had potential, but devolved into the typical Disney slop. The last season of the show was reported to be horrible. (I didn't see it, only all of the clips that landed on YouTube.)
ReplyDeleteMandalorian and Grogu, now at Burger King. If that doesn't cause you to relly wonder, I don't know what will. As of late April 2026, many locations are featuring The Mandalorian & Grogu themed kid's meals, which include special toys.
ReplyDeleteIf you a Jedi Knight would be, backwards to talk learn you must.
ReplyDeleteThe last SW thing I watched was, I think, Rogue One. It sucked, and The Last Jedi wasn't all that great either, so I'd already given up on it before all the slop arrived. Or was Rogue One the beginning of the slop era? In the intervening time, I haven't read anything about any of the spinoffs that's made me think I ought to give any of it a look. Truth is, I'd already started to sour on it with the arrival of Jar-Jar Binks.
ReplyDeleteIf there were a release of the original trilogy on Blu-Ray, re-worked in the same way as the Trek TOS set, without Lucas' stupid tweaks, I'd consider buying that.
These days, I assume that most SciFi is being produced in accordance with woke, DEI, direction, and so I just avoid it. I'd like to see a space movie done by someone like Sam Peckinpah.

SiG, I am trying to remember the last recent Science Fiction book that I have read. I think it was C.J. Cherryh's Rim Runners published in 1989. I am not sure why that book struck me the way it did - I have read other of her works and enjoyed them - but that was really it for me. Any Science Fiction I have read is prior to that date.
ReplyDeleteI really had no interest in any Star Trek after the original and only some of the post 1985 Star Wars movies. We recently purchased the DVDs for the one season of Firefly. I think I had forgotten was a well written science fiction show could be like.
