The dynamics of the CCP are really fascinating and widely misunderstood. Mostly for political reasons people I’m the west these days try and portray Xi as someone with absolute power but that really isn’t the case. Not to say that it’s a democracy or anything.

Where will ppl on the internet get images to describe socialism from now?
They say it’s because the companies are woke or blame insurance fraud. At least in Florida.
Yeah the pacing should be tighter, it’s Star Wars, not a Tarkovsky film
Straight out of the Obama playbook
That’s the problem here, there aren’t any stakes to the story if you don’t know the context. I saw people compare the temple scene to Raiders, but unlike Raiders there was no suspense to the scene. She just moved some furniture around until the robots showed up.
I won’t write the show off based on one episode but there’s definitely room for improvement. The pacing was really plodding. This has been a recurring problem with recent live action SW but it’s also streaming in general. No set time slots have lead some to slacken their narrative discipline. There’s no reason this couldn’t have been 45 minutes.
Also I’m not convinced this had to be live action. I spent a lot of time this episode mentally adjusting to thinking of these as the same characters from the same story. Sabine was perfectly cast, but I’m not sold on the others. Rosario as Ahsoka looked good on paper but feels wooden on screen. Hopefully Feloni didn’t inherit George’s facility with actors.
Andor also proved to me that they need to stop leaning so heavily on the Volume. The sets on Andor had that classic Star Wars lived in futurism, the sets here felt mostly sterile and empty. But then Andor spoiled us on a lot of things.
I’m rooting for Filoni and want this to succeed so I hope it gets better.
Time to step up and start posting. Be the change you want to see.
There’s less content on lemmy, but I’m sticking around because I can still get articles and discussions and I don’t have to be staring at my phone or computer all the time anyway. We all make up these communities online and some asshole treating it as his personal property isn’t something we should have to suffer. I’ll take less content if it spares me the indignity of letting guys like that win.
Neoliberalism also means we get some neoleprosy
So what in like 20 years we get an avengers style team up of all your game characters to take down Joja or something?
