I AM SCREAMING THIS IS SO GOOD
Sometimes, when @thataldendiaz.bsky.social, @darkjedi2552.bsky.social, and I get to talking, we come up with some stuff.
So here are my fancasts (with a ton of their input) for film/television adaptations of three of Star Wars' most famous video games.

'Andor' is ending. It brought untold stories of trauma and humanity to 'Star Wars'
“Andor” ends with the release of a three-episode series finale on Tuesday. The Disney+ streaming show took “Star Wars" to previously unexplored places, including depiction of the long-term effects of trauma.

I have said it many times but The High Republic represents everything I love about Star Wars.
It is expansionary, adding new context to the galaxy, built around the central idea that hope burns even in the darkest of nights.
Everyone involved with this initiative deserves this victory lap.

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets.
These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

I can’t imagine witnessing the greatness of Andor, only to focus my energy on tearing down other Star Wars stories.
Sounds like a miserable way of engaging with something you love.

Reminder Rebels and Andor are two different mediums with different target audiences. It’s like comparing apples and jogan fruit. Both are amazing series in their own rights.
