neilnunb Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 That felt a bit weird. Hardly any of the spoilers I'd read for the finale came true. 🤣 Far too short an episode for a season ender too. Bit disappointed there was no post credits clip...so don't waste time waiting to see any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Well, Season Three was shite. Some real high points, but those were few and far between. Far, FAR too much titting about with stupid side quests then rushing the "main storyline" in ridiculously short episodes. Way too many contrivances, conveniences and leaps of logic to resolve things instead of bothering to do good writing. Characters being forced to make exposition speeches all over the place because, again, they can't write properly and bring the audience up to speed in any other way other than having a character tell you what's going on. Disney seem determined to kill the goose that lays golden eggs because they want a sunday roast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRiver Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I enjoyed the finale to be honest. Unfortunate though that the best 2 episodes of the whole series were the last 2. Agree with what Cade has posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterion Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 They rushed many of the threads in season 3. The return to retake Mandalore could have been stretched out over two seasons IMO. That said, I still enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 The one thing that niggled in the last episode was how chatty and cheerful he’s got since season 1. Now he’s calling robots Buddy and being all civil to people as opposed to barely speaking. I suppose the writers will claim it’s because Grogu has made him more emotional and caring, I think it’s just a lack of continuity in character development.

neilnunb Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Season 2 of Star Wars Visions released yesterday. Those that don't know, these are short animated tales (15mins or so), each telling a different story and different styles of animation. They aren't 'canon' but some can be quite interesting. I really enjoyed most of season 1, albeit a couple of daft episodes thrown in. I think I have watched 6 of the new ones so far (there's 9), again not too bad although every single one has been female led, which seems a bit OTT. With Disney you never know if this is due to them being the best stories or an agenda 😁 I really didn't like Aardman Animations episode though. Never really liked Wallace & Gromit etc as not keen on that style. Anyway, worth checking out if you have a couple of spare hours. Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures was also released. This is a kids animated series set within the High Republic era. I believe this may be 'canon' so will probably watch it and then forget about it. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Good start to Ahsoka. Good performances and better production design than some of the other recent efforts.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I tried to start Ahsoka last night and gave up about 40 minutes in on the first episode. The plot twists were foreshadowed a mile away, the dialog was wooden and paced way too slow, and Rosario Dawson wasn't given nearly enough to do outside the fighting sequences. I must say the sets, the fighting sequences, the costumes, the effects were all beautiful. I just couldn't deal with Jedi-trained super-minds getting duped by grade C 1940s film noir level twists. But reading the reviews here (without the spoilers) I should stay with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is set at the High Republic era, which tbh I am not familiar with as they're a bunch of novels aimed at the teenage market and didn't really interest me. I just really concentrate on tv shows/movies/video games tbh. I'll watch this but I have a feeling this is going to be like the Willow tv series and totally ruined by some political agenda. I gave up on that before the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
