I don't understand how you can be a pretty high-information Star Wars junkie and then turn around and treat Ki Adi Mundi's line about the Sith 'being extinct' as factual when the audience knows he is wrong as he's saying it. Sidious didn't spring out of a hole in the ground.

I guess The Sith haven't been extinct for a millennium #Acolyte

pretty sure this is where Queen Amidala retook control of Naboo and struck "a new treaty" with the Trade Federation

ANDOR gets the "worn universe" vibe of Star Wars and its retrograde tech better than any recent Star Wars project

ANDOR is great because it knows the coolest shit in STAR WARS isn’t the force or lightsabers… it’s switches, plugs, and knobs.

TBH seeing Boba Fett on screen for about 45 seconds is very on brand for Boba Fett

What nearly every person who grew up conservative or libertarian knows from dealing with leftists is that they don't distinguish between Charlie Kirk and you. They don't draw a line between Nick Fuentes and Mitt Romney. If you're not with them & their revolution, you're an enemy

Andor is a pretty explicitly leftist piece of art wrapped in the drapery of Star Wars & it works beautifully with very little complaint. Maybe I'm missing something, but the usual dumb political controversies are in lower supply, bc Andor is rooted in reality.

I really need the people of the internet to understand that this didn’t actually happen like this.

a ⭐️great ⭐️story of what must have been profound disappointment & a feeling of defeat for an actor, then turning into a massive triumph 20 years later #Andor

Oh, Genevieve. Did you have any idea what a couple days of work filming scenes deleted from RotS would eventually lead to? #Andor

As the Republican Party continues its realignment in the Trump era, Ben Shapiro has grown into being the most crystal clear spokesperson for what the GOP is supposed to be. Free minds, free markets, and culture war fights that enable those two things to exist longterm.

No to the groypers. No to cowards like Tucker Carlson, who normalize their trash. No to those who champion them. No to demoralization. No to bigotry and anti-meritocratic horseshit. No to anti-Americanism. No.

A Star Wars theory: They're gonna do the thing where Qimir is the villain of the show & then in one final episode he's gonna get squashed like a bug by a real Sith Lord, whoever it is in this part of the timeline. Plagueis? Tenebrous? End of show. Qimir is a wannabe. #TheAcolyte

So a @StarWars thing. Dafne Keen was wrong about #TheAcolyte fight scene rivaling the choreography of Duel of the Fates in The Phantom Menace. It rivaled the beloved Old Republic game cinematics, in the best way. This was a whole episode worth of that energy.
