That is correct. Quite a few nice little nods to things like Rebels and Solo.
I don't remember any nods to Solo
This whole final Siege of Mandalore arc is the best thing Disney has put out yet. And that is coming from someone who doesn't hate everything they've done.
I liked the first 2 parts. The fight between Maul and Ahsoka felt felt organic; like motion capture. I didn't think to read all the credits, but I wonder if Master Park did the motion caption work for that sequence. I loved how Maul, though he hated Sidious, was utterly terrified of him. I also loved how he was pretty much the only one in the galaxy that knew what was about to go down. How did he get away from Sidious in S5? I'm still on the fence about Maul's new level of ability. Ripping apart the hyperspace generator and peeling off deck plates to use for shields: LOVED IT! Waiving away blaster bolts seemed a bit too OP. A bit too much throw back to bad movies. And WTF was the deal with Anakin having to #$%& with her crystals, and the new sound? Why can't these #$%&heads leave well enough alone?
The one thing that ruined the whole finale: Rex. Whoever is in charge of keeping the story straight needs to be dragged out into the street and shot. In SWR (a
pre-existing DISNEY SW story) Rex hadt to explain to Kanan that despite being clones, he, Gregor and Wolfe all had their chips removed
BEFORE Order 66 came down, and therefore were not part of the Purge. For Rex, the most logical time to do so would have been after the Fives incident. But...leave it to #$%&-up Filoni (yes I read the credits and saw that he wrote the finale) to not pay attention to details. I swear, at this rate the SW story franchise is shaping up to mimic the X-movies.
*Double Facepalms*
I don't understand how Disney could be that insane, but at the the same time it somehow doesn't surprise me at this point. I used to think that he just messed up TLJ because he didn't know SW very well, but after pouring over the interviews, articles, and just any time he talked about the movie he made, I'm fully convinced he knew what he was doing to Star Wars... and reveled in it. I just can't tolerate that.
Because they already know that he is more than willing and ready to suck KK's dick, and produce the level of crap she wants in order to further her plan to forever ruin SW.
Doesn't help. I've never heard of anything she's known for.
There is an interview from when he did is movie "Brick" where he says basically he likes making divisive films that split people. In and of itself that is not a negative against him.... But Star Wars is not the place for that. But at the end of the day , you cant put it all at his feet. If someone lets a bull into a china shop and it destroys everything... is the bull to blame? or the person who let it in.
Meh. Turn the bull into hamburger, and eviscerate the mook that brought it in for use as sausage casing. -_-
