Those are the good star wars.


I haven't seen all the rest of the stuff on the list but of the stuff I've seen, I agree that this is the only good stuff.

Maxxxine was a fun conclusion to the X trilogy, albeit one that got away from the horror genre a little more. Can’t figure out if I loved the trilogy or if Mia Goth is just a supernova of charisma and talent.

She's actually why I probably won't see Maxxxine. Just really don't like Goth, at all.

Whoa. Naturally to each their own but this is the first time I’ve heard this. I thought she was incredible in Pearl particularly

I don't think she's a bad actress or anything. I think she's very good. But there's just something that I find off and unpleasant to watch. The female version of noted That Guy, Patrick Fischler.

Nope. Pass on anything he's in.

Haven't watched Andor but take off TLJ, kick to the bottom of the list a little above Solo and the Acolyte, and replace it with Revenge of the Sith and then you have something

Twisters was unintentionally hysterical. Our theater was crying laughing the whole time.

I'm fine with this list.

The important part is that they got #1 right.

Any list that doesn't have Andor at 1 is simply wrong.

I love Andor but it's still a distant second behind Empire. Empire's in the short discussion with Godfather 2 and Aliens as the best sequel of all-time.

Agreed it's a great sequel.

Andor is vastly superior writing and story wise.

To me anyway.

Also, I wish The Bear had ended after 2 seasons.

So watched the new season of Cobra Kai.

Man this show has really forgotten what made it great to begin with

The Bear S3 (or season 3, Part: 1) was solid. I think people just feel the need to call something a "disappointment" whenever it doesn't live up to or exceed the previous season, which in this case, was one of the best seasons of TV in recent memory. If they stick the landing it's still gonna go down as one of the best dramas of the 21st century.

I'm guessing that if the creators were allowed to end the show in 3 seasons instead of 4 it would've been great.

As is, disappointing.

Andor is really just too grounded and human to be a part of the Star Wars Universe, even more so than Rogue One. Star Wars comes out of the pulp tradition and Andor is a literary take on the world created for it.

Finished the Acolyte the other day & I'd give it a solid 7.5/10. It needed another episode or two imo

I'm only one episode deep into Shogun but I can already tell this is going to be a hell of a ride

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
