Nothing new, I remember reading this fun fact in 2019

Siege of Mandalore, Order 66, and her work with the early rebellion being left off that list are criminal

My Mom loved to collect these.  I’m not really sure what happened to them all when she died.  Hopefully family members took them.

I remember getting some of them, so yes

Absolutely incredible technology. I would love to try it someday, hopefully as time goes on they can make future models more affordable, kinda like how Facebook did for their Oculus headsets - only thing is Apple just blew them out of the water

I’ve met him at the local recording studio, nice guy

By all accounts I’ve heard, it’s actually very well done/well made, especially compared to the other remakes (looking at you Lion King), but yeah they need to chill on them

9 dead, including shooter, at Allen, Texas mall

Carrie Fisher got her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today for May the 4th!

Very fun game, but it is catching a lot of criticism for abysmal performance, shame

But did they? All kinds of clones were on that base.  People are pointing out that the real one has a moustache and the one this season didn't.

Whatever happens in the season finally will more than likely involve the Ashoka show. So you may see the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Ezra Bridger and Sabine 

Think I saw something yesterday where Filoni said it wouldn’t directly tie into Ahsoka, can’t find it now though. Sabine is already back, and Ezra and Thrawn will more likely return early on in Ahsoka

Social media is all over that one.  Not a nice thing to say about the church in the cornfield.

To be a fly on the wall at their little congregation this Sunday...

HBO Max has rebranded to just "Max", apparently because they wanted to get rid of the HBO association in the title? Executives are stupid

One of "Max"'s first announcements is the heavily rumored remake series of Harry Potter

Pretty interesting, I've actually been rewatching the movies and while they still hold up, the later ones were lacking a lot of substance from the books, so a TV series with each season being dedicated to the books has lots of potential. It'll be strange getting used to a new cast, though. They definitely have Hagrid-sized shoes to fill

It certainly can't be as bad as that dumpster fire that was "The Cursed Child", and the later Fantastic Beasts movies though!

Wasn’t  she was in the Mandaloran?

Yep, she originated from The Clone Wars cartoons as Anakin’s padawan and later in the spin-off/sequel Star Wars Rebels, which ends setting up this show

Where does this take place in the Star Wars timeline?

5 years after Return of the Jedi

New trailer

Three new Star Wars movies, not a trilogy, each focusing on a different era in the galaxy. Sounds super interesting

Self proclaimed “true Star Wars fans” are just thrilled that Rey is coming back

I hope they can improve Grogu’s more complex motions as the show goes on. Walking and moving normally he looks pretty natural, but the second he flips it’s so jarring in comparison, it looks like they’re just tossing his puppet around (which is a pretty funny visualization honestly)

I just started watching this a couple weeks ago, and made it to season 3 this weekend. 

They had a few "flashbacks" to what looked like earlier scenes, but weren't in Season 2.....So I guess I was supposed to pause after Season 2 and watch Boba Fett to see what happened between S2 and S3?

Seriously?

You don’t need to watch the whole show honestly, the Mando specific episodes are 5-7.

the latest episode was weird  to say the least

Reminded me of Andor, I liked it

Only (memorable) good ad was the Tubi one, had all of America yelling at whoever was closest to the remote. 
 

It was a good game, kinda boring to have had a penalty secure the win at the very end, but I don’t think Eagles were going to pull it off with how close it was anyway. 

The Half-Time show was pretty good, nothing spectacular, which makes sense seeing how Rihanna is pregnant apparently. The set design and backing choreography were really cool though, but looks like they took inspiration from The Weeknd’s show with the red outfit and white masked dancers haha. 
 

Overall not a bad Super Bowl honestly

I just saw something that said one of the M&M’s (not sure which one) identifies as a Skittle and that some gummy worms identify as bean sprouts.  Not losing any sleep. 

Whatever is was surely was a satire page

I’ve only seen Tucker Carlson throwing a pissy fit over M&Ms, both the green shoes and something about the purple one being a peanut? Every other thing on social media was people mocking him for it. Sounds like he got what he wanted?

More likely than not is M&Ms is just starting to get ready for a Super Bowl ad campaign, and since last year the “outrage” over M&M shoes got people talking about them, they’re doing it over again. And it’s clearly working, since now it’s all over the place again
