According to what now?

And the soundtrack will have NONE of them!

I am amazed, baffled, and overjoyed at those scenes. Nope. At the very least there is the first season. But there is also the Skywalker twins. Hmmm. This is the season 1 that everyone complained was too slow? Honestly I was expecting the more measured pace of season 1. This was a roller coaster. I admit that I didn't see much "point" to the Andor story (other than to a) delay him and b) show what a mess the "rebellion" is in) but I was never bored with it. What the heck was the point of hitting Luke Skywalker with a wampa in the first five minutes of The Empire Strikes Back and mostly taking him out of the first quarter of that movie. I continue to be all in on the Mothma story. This is all coming at a cost and it's a cost that she is discovering over and over and over. It was also interesting seeing all of the Chandrilla locations and customs. I don't know if I'm over-reading but something seems to be going on in Perrin's head in those last scenes. I have no idea what the Dedra / Syril scenes are for but I'm all there for it. And of course I loved her scenes with Krennic. It actually raised my opinion of him that he could recognize in a moment what most of the ISB didn't in season 1. The design of the show is possibly the most gorgeous Star Wars has ever looked. The richer locations have all the formality that the prequels were going for while feeling far more connected to Star Wars. And Bix and the gang was the same kind of "slow burn and jeopardy" that we saw in season 1 on Ferrix. I'm glad they didn't put Bix in jail again. I actually loved that Cassian really did get to ride in to the rescue. RIP Brasso. How will they ever get B2-EMO back now? Oh, and the music is AMAZING. I'm sure this is the intention with the more orchestral sounds being more evocative of "standard" Star Wars. But there was a bit towards the end of the third episode where we had been cutting between the locations and characters but suddenly there was this tense, driving, music (not the rave music) and rather than ending when the scene changed as they had been doing it cut through all three locations. It worked a treat to drive up the tension. It's wild to think that when we tune in again on Wednesday that this will have all been a year ago. I have been informed that 1 BBY includes Rogue One and all but the last scenes of Star Wars. 0 BBY starts with, well, the BY. I'm sorry for the people who don't like it. Everyone should be having the ride that I'm having. This is top shelf Star Wars!

I like Powell but I'm not sure I could identify a Bourne score if it beat me up in an alley.

Oh. New Star Trek that I might have to buy. Hmmm. What was wrong with Starship Troopers?

Not really. Also when the movie came out my kids were that age, so it rang true to me. BTW, I know it's played for a laugh, but when they have the HUGE EPIC BATTLE with Thomas the Tank Engine and then you see from a normal scale that the small plastic toy just kind of falls over? Man, I would have loved if they had kept the actual physics of normal sized things when they were tiny. Stuff would fall on you SUPER FAST at that size. The other place where that jumped out at me was the bathtub scene. They played it like a tidal wave. It would have been a tidal wave moving at 100x speed.

I think Star Wars might be more likely.

You know, there's a new How to Train Your Dragon movie coming out. Maybe a re-issue of those bad boys? You know? For friendship?

Varese is finally getting to do Star Wars!

I'd be OK with that. Wil Wheaton did a bang up job on Prodigy.

The end of the movie will be Emilio Estevez walking in the door. "Did I miss anything?"

This is my most anticipated movie of the year. (Fantastic Four is a close second.) I adore these books and the cast is perfect. (Well... I'm a little worried about Bogdan.) I was looking forward to Newman's score (still am, really) but a Williams score would have been amazing.

20 years later and I still haven't seen part 2. Maybe I just don't like the title.

That's like saying that there is no such thing as foreshadowing. The rest of the plot just follows what had been shown before. (Mind you, I think there is a fair amount in The Dark World, Ultron, and even Agents of SHIELD that pointed at a different Thor 3.)

Sebastian Stan?
