So back during the pandemic everyone was stuck at home forced to find things to entertain themselves that didn't require going out into public. Meg and I had the radical idea of watching all the Star Warseses from the beginning in chronological order. With the recent announcement of several new Star Wars series and a movie or two we figured this would be a good way to know what the fuck they were talking about. As it turns out we in-fact did not get through the 500 Clone Wars episodes. I joked there was 500 but it's actually 133 episodes. It's 66 fucking hours of wise-cracking Battle Droids and writing very much meant for kids. It's canon, I get it but I dont even think COVID restrictions lasted that fucking long.

It's basically a hate-letter to Anakin.
So since then there was a ton of new StarWars content and a lot of it came from the Clone Wars and Rebels timeline so of course we had no idea what the fuck was going on. It was entertaining but felt like we were missing some backstory. They needed a live action movie somewhere in there that summed up the 3 days worth of viewing Clone Wars.
We mostly enjoyed all of the new shows. The movies were fine. I'm not nerd-married to the franchise so I wasn't butt-hurt about anything they added or omitted or whatever. Kylo Ren sucks to me as a character but what do you expect he's following in his grandpa's footsteps. All of the bad ones anyway. Fuck Anakin.
With that being said Andor was a fucking gem. Spot on political and social commentary wrapped up in a sci-fi package. Also it focuses on why there were Rebels in the first place without all the fairytale Jedi bullshit.
I'll end with this:

And since we're finally getting another SpaceBalls.... "May the Schwartz Be With You!!"
