it was kind of neat the way mandalorian was just a sci-fi adventure show that happened in the star wars universe. then someone at disney noticed that people liked it, and decided that what they'd like even more is if they made the show star wars instead. which is a shame because star wars itself has like 20 people at most in the entire universe, across maybe three planets. it's a tiny place to tell stories, and frankly the good ones were told four decades ago

it is explicitly explained in the tales of the bounty hunters anthology that the sarlacc, which is sentient, absorbs you into its intestinal wall and merges your circulatory and nervous systems with its own. this allows it to keep you alive for hundreds of years, throughout which it communicates with you. you are not strictly digested, as the sarlacc considers conscious beings too valuable to simply consume as food. instead you are gradually absorbed into the sarlacc's consciousness, joining thousands of other minds from eons ago.

Yeah last night when i watched the first 2 eps i'm like okay. this is five years after jedi. what is the galacto-political situation here. how are the rebels doing? is the empire truly dead or just a patchwork of crippled gangs of scattered extremists and then i realized that it doesn't loving matter and i should enjoy the blaster fights and the cool blacksmith scenes

the weird thing is, you can probably still show that stuff, use it as a backdrop for these smaller stories without needing to re-animate luke skywalker and a dozen other people you might remember from one of the films

It's very annoying because they have a literal galaxy of things they can make up to work with.

One of the chapotraphouse hosts described it as a show about doing fetch quests and that was why it fun to watch. Then they started tying things to universe and it became less enjoyable. It's hard to get invested when the show has done 0 character development outside of baby yoda and you're expected to know about these characters from other star wars franchises.

the lord of the rings is fantasy epic comprising six books in three volumes with nearly half a million words. the hobbit is a shortish novel with less than 100k words to work with, a lot of them set dressing.

one of those is suitable for adaptation into a three-movie epic trilogy, and the other just simply isn't.

so i like the lotr trilogy and rewatched over the past month

then im all HEY LETS KEEP PETER JACKSONING and downloaded the hobbit trilogy

honestly i havent made it more than 45 minutes in to the first one. it seems, i dunno...goofy? trying for comedy? idk.

Archduke Frantz Fanon

yeah it turns out if you do a ton of research and spend a lot of time and effort into your craft and art direction you can make a really good set of movies

lotr vs the hobbit is a great contrast in this

Jabor

#1 Loser at SpaceChem
also the hobbit is a children's book

you could get a single good feature-length film out of it, or perhaps a duology of 90-120min children's films, but padding it out to three features is just insanity. there's not enough meat on them bones.

ultimately it's a trilogy because it's a lazy hollywood cash-in. overall not worth your time.
