The Force Awakens brought in $2.017 billion at the box office. 11 years later The Mandalorian and Grogu brought in $224.2 million when adjusted to 2015 numbers (reverse inflation). To put this in perspective, TFA made $248 million in it's North American opening weekend alone.

@FAN590 @JDBunkis The organization created this culture of pandering. Like you said, Shanny couldn't wait to kiss all their asses even after they lost. Until that changes they will be forever losers.

"This market's biggest insecurity is, at times, they feel as though they're part of the problem... What drove me crazy about Marner's departure was that he played into it." @JDBunkis reflects on Mitch Marner's time in Toronto and his exit from the Maple Leafs.

@Valestrider @ImperialBase That’s a cop out for lazy writing.

@ScriptTrooper @ImperialBase Code switching is literally how the CIA operates btw. You -do- just wear the right uniform and move like you belong. People operate on a default of complacent trust in a status quo that has not been disrupted.

“You just walk in like you belong.” “They're so fat and satisfied, they can't imagine it… that someone like me would ever get inside their house, walk their floors, spit in their food, take their gear.”

@Remnicore_ This just makes it better 🤣.

I’m shocked he liked this post, but the fact that he did so without leaving a reply tells me he read my post, agreed with my bullshit “criticism” of Andor, and hit the like button without ever realizing that I was making fun of him for being a dumbass. Incredible stuff.

Leafs fans dunking on Vegas and Marner after saying making the CF would validate the core 4 just a year ago. 🤦‍♂️

@Arktik_Foxx @qualterscameron A massive flaw? So anyone could have destroyed it. So basically it’s all shitty and lame so who cares right?

@ScriptTrooper @qualterscameron The empire is so dumb they built a massive flaw into the Death Star because it was in the blueprints lmao

In season 1 of Andor the Imperial Security Bureau discovers who Andor is and deems him a fugitive. In episode 1 of season 2 Andor is just chilling in an Imperial facility and no one cares.

Tony Gilroy HATES STAR WARS! 👇 youtu.be/XN9j1_hnFF4?si…

@delmoi @CommunistJojo Okay. I'll break it down. In a dictatorship they don't treat fugitives willy nilly and do everything they can to make them dead. Comparing that to a republic of independent states is dumb. Got it?

@ScriptTrooper @CommunistJojo You didn't answer the question.

@SheevTalks @StarWars_Cringe Go on...

@ScriptTrooper @StarWars_Cringe You need to think more deeply about what’s actually happening, why it’s happening, and how that thematically ties to the narrative. There’s a pretty obvious logical reason why this is able to happen that feeds into the central ideas of the show.

@SheevTalks @StarWars_Cringe So you like a character saying a line and then the writer can just have him do things easily. What a compelling show.

@M0000npie So the ISB showing his face was for funzies and meant nothing to the story.

@ScriptTrooper This is the Isb looking for him. He is on a regular military installation. You are expecting a random test facility to memorize the faces of millions of criminals so they can recognize one guy who showed up to fly a fighter.

@terrythatiam @BlueJays As in sell mode before the trade deadline.

@ScriptTrooper @BlueJays You have this fetish for corporations selling off their properties, huh. They’re not selling, just as Disney is NOT selling Lucasfilm either. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@StlllWest It's over. In fact it was over before it began but hopefully Schneider gets fired.

Blue Jays next 5 series are against the Red Sox, Cubs, Astros, Rangers and Mets. Whatever the outcome of those series will most likely decide the season for the Jays. It’s time for the Jays to wake up.

@StarWars_Cringe Lazy writing celebrated.

This is what happens if you don't watch the show closely.

@usanewshq Making eye contact is flirting to virgins.

Sydney Sweeney will flirt with any man who talks to her I have never seen anything like this before

@predator467 He didn't watch Star Wars.

Qui Gon is dead and he's telling Luke to go to see an alive Jedi master who was one of the leaders of the Jedi who basically helped with the training of every Jedi by extension. How anyone sees this as an issue is beyond me.

@mightydudbolt 100%.

I'm not sure why left-wing fans of Andor are so insistent that the architectural aesthetic of the fascist Empire be so Brutalist-coded, when this aesthetic is not inherently a fascist one, but rather strongly evokes post-WWII Soviet bloc states with an ideological aversion to ornamentation and historicism. This shift in the architectural philosophy of Coruscant doesn't make sense. Palpatine is clearly a genuine connoisseur of the arts, with aristocratic-bourgeois tastes that range from esoteric sculpture to balletic opera to gilded antiquities with bizarre cultic associations. So this shift clearly wasn't driven by any sort of hostility on his part to the Art Deco grandeur of Coruscant. The shift in the aesthetic character of the galaxy between the prequels and the original trilogy has, in Lucas's films, always been depicted as a consequence of the increasing militarization of the society. The aesthetic of the Empire is the aesthetic of Clone Wars–era military bases, of Star Destroyers, and of the Death Star. This is why, when we see even Palpatine's eccentric aesthetic inclinations visibly subsumed by the technological terror of his Empire, it is specifically in his throne room on the Death Star where this has happened. So once again with Andor, Tony Gilroy has just thrown these things into the pot rather randomly, with no regard for the visual and thematic logic of the universe which George Lucas created. It doesn't cohere.

@EdMarkey Or it's the fault of the climate change cult but no one wants to admit that.

Hate to break it to you, Mike. But it is our money. #TaxTheRich
