Snippet: "For all the missteps in Disney’s approach to Star Wars since purchasing the IP from George Lucas, there’s one aspect to the business they’ve gotten right: the manga adaptations. Heavily influenced by Japanese culture and film, Star Wars is a property that fits like a (black, L-hand 980 prosthetic covering) glove in the anime and manga world..."
I watched “Into the Breach” (S03E13) of The Bad Batch last night. This show continues to be great, and I really enjoyed this episode! I was anxious and on the edge of my seat until the very end—and I’m excited for next week.
Only TWO WEEKS LEFT of this show! 😭 If you’ve been sleeping on it, it’s a great time to get into it so you’re caught up in time for the penultimate or final episode… I have a feeling it’s gonna be good.
In case you have completely missed this show or not been interested because of the obscure cast—I was absolutely skeptical before getting into it—here are some spoiler-free reasons you should give it a go: 🧵
• The animation is fantastic. It’s incredible how far Lucasfilm Animation has come with their style and capabilities since the extremely rough early days of The Clone Wars. If you didn’t like the style back then (cough @markedward cough) give the latest trailers a peep to check in. I’m constantly impressed by the environments, lighting, detail, and cinematography of this show.
• It’s a focused, character-driven story that simultaneously ties neatly into the entire cinematic timeline. Palpatine’s influence looms large over the galaxy without being overbearing, the main characters are ex-Republic troopers finding their way in the galaxy under the thumb of the newly formed Empire, and it’s actually naturally tying into a bit of the Mandoverse and sequel trilogy without it feeling forced or like a retcon.
• The score/soundtrack! Holy crap, Kevin Kiner and his kids, Sean and Deana Kiner have done an incredible job—this final season in particular has been constantly impressive to me. It has that classic Star Wars orchestral feel at times, but definitely feels evolved in a way similar to the Andor score: a bit more synth-y and eerie at times, sometimes almost… rock?? Idk, it is just great imho.
The #NES version of Maniac Mansion had an awesome soundtrack, probably one of the best soundtracks on the console IMHO. And this is a solid cover of "Dave's Theme". :thinkergunsunglasses:
Dernier épisode de la saison 2 de "The Bad Batch". Ca passe à une vitesse, ils pourraient faire plus d'épisodes :blobugh: Cette série est tellement passionnante en ce qu'elle montre les débuts de l'Empire et l'emprise grandissante du fasciste Palpatine sur la galaxie
Connecting the hatchery where new avatars arrived in Club Caribe up to the rest of the world is going great! Almost at the point of being able to connect up these new areas to the areas I recreated 6 years ago and then we will have ourselves a party.
Here’s how the new Avatar region flow looks currently
It was dumb for you to fumble the Disney bag, but you did it to stick by your ignorant beliefs. Fair, I guess. But linking up with Musk, whole different level of dumb
