    I think they're working on it. Nothing confirmed yet.

    Andor's pretty damn good. The pacing is slow, but I like it. "The Eye" (E6) was fantastic.

    Andor is so far ahead of the other Star Wars TV shows it's not even fair!

    I really liked a lot of The Mandalorian (but I hate Grogu), was very disappointed with BoBF, and loved Obi-Wan - but Andor is on a whole other level.

    I finished watching it Friday, then went back and rewatched Rogue One afterwards. Both are great. I would rank Rogue One up there as one of the best SW movies made.

    Agree.  
    Andor was their best series.  Rogue One is the best movie since Jedi, to me, at this point.  If you could remove ewoks id be sure of that....sort of on tje fence now, it  could pass Jedi. 
    Any time I see part of it, it gets better.

    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Agreed on Rogue 1... since its release, I always thought it was the best movie they put out since the '80s, and setting aside nostalgia for my inner 6yo, it blows ROTJ out of the water.

    They really knocked it out of the park w/ Andor. The climax at the end of episode 10 wasn't something I expected from Star Wars; that was as big a gut punch as I've felt from pretty much any movie or tv show.

    I could nit pick certain elements / characters, but overall I thought it was fantastic, and a nice break from the cartoonish feel to the Mandalorian and BOBF. The former is fun, and I'm looking forward to S3 but the latter was almost unwatchable. & as much as I loved Kenobi while it was airing, Andor really put that in its place as well.

    Maybe it’s because Andor and Obi-Wan have raised the bar, but I thought the first episode of Mandalorian S3 was just… meh.

    It could also be just because I really hate Grogu.

    I don’t hate Grogu, and I was remarkably underwhelmed. The only plot advancement we had was the IG recovery angle and the pirate storyline, both of which had me rolling my eyes. Re: the former… that’s one piss poor self destruct protocol built into the IG unit. 

    I think the long wait for S3 had as much to do with feeling underwhelmed as Andor & Obi Wan did, at least for me. 

    Every episode doesn’t have to be a banger, some need to set the stage for future episodes…. But if this first episode is an indicator of how this season is going to be, I’m not holding my breath for it to be as good as S1 or 2.

    Of the 3 they announced, this one is probably the least I'm enthused about... the other two sound interesting though. 


    If the trailer is any indication, Asohka's going to be great.

    This May the Fourth, Carrie Fisher gets Walk of Fame star
    By The Associated Press
    Today

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — Carrie Fisher is receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a May the Fourth tribute to one of the “Star Wars” franchise's most beloved figures.

    On Thursday, Fisher — who died in 2016 — joins “Star Wars” co-stars Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill on the Hollywood tourist attraction that recognizes luminaries from film, television, music and other entertainment industries. The trio's stars are all located on the 6,800 block of Hollywood Boulevard, near where the original film debuted in 1977.

    Fisher played Leia Organa, who over six films morphed from a princess to a general leading the forces of good in its fight against oppressive regimes aiming to control a galaxy far, far away. Billie Lourd will be accepting the star on behalf of her mother.

    Fans have long campaigned for her to receive a Walk of Fame star. The honor comes on May the Fourth, essentially an official holiday for Star Wars fans that's a play on a line that Fisher said often in the films, “May the Force be with you.”

    Devotees worldwide celebrate with a variety of tributes, while retailers hold special sales on Star Wars merchandise.

    The induction ceremony will be held at 11:30 a.m. Pacific and livestreamed by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.

    Fisher will be given the 2,754th star on the Walk of Fame. Ford received his star in 2003 and Hamill was honored in 2018.

    Walk of Fame stars are given to performers who are nominated and a $75,000 fee is now required to create the star and maintain it.

    May the 4th be with you
    This is the May
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    What are people's thoughts on  Mandalorian S3? 

    Some episodes were clunkers, but the last 2 episodes were fantastic... as was the Navarro pirate battle episode. 

    It was definitely a step back from the high bar set by Obi Wan & Andor, but still true to the first two seasons, if that makes any sense.

    Andor was compelling. really well done.
