The Prisoner is #6.Mandalorian episode 6. FINALLY a really awesome episode. Great cameo too.
Been some brutal takes for The Rise Of Skywalker. Glad I stopped caring about the movies after The Force Awakens. Still haven't seen ep 8 or the Solo movie and I don't really care to at this point.

I was just seeing pretty positive stuff in my feed so curious what non-spoilerish complaints are.
Rotten Tomatoes has it as barely fresh at 60 at the moment so...
I was gonna say, just let Filoni/Favreau take over. Favreau would put the studio execs at ease with his success in the MCU, and Filoni would maintain the quality of the universe.If it is another mediocre movie and does below expectations at the BO, then Kathleen Kennedy MUST go. She has made mistake after mistake since taking over:
1. Hired Colin Trevorrow for ROS after his lackluster Jurrassic World
2. Fired Lord and Miller during the MIDDLE of Solo
3. Hired Ron Howard in their stead for Solo; Solo ends up bombing at the Box Office.
4. Hired JJ Abrams, AGAIN, to direct ROS, this after his creative energies were exhausted by TFA
The problem with this franchise is that it needs to be run by a super-fan. This is why Marvel, run by super-fan Kevin Feige, does so well. This is why Star Wars animated TV, run by super-fan Dave Filoni, is a quality product. If you just have an empty suit running the franchise, why should it be a surprised if you get mediocrity?
Anyway, what do I care. Star Wars went from THE franchise of my youth in the 80s to just another "also-ran" franchise now, along with Fast and the Furious, Transformers, Avatar, and all the other nonsense out there. Time to let it go.

Was the best episode yet, IMO.After watching Ep 7 its hard to be patient waiting Ep 8... Ffs
I actually quite liked Solo. But other than that, yeah... oof. Seeing ROS tonight, expectations are pretty low.We really need a new thread: will Kathleen Kennedy get fired after Rise of Skywalker?
The movie is getting trashed left right and center. Gamespot just gave it a 4 out of 10! Opening weekend should be huge,
but after that, the film could be in a trouble. And given the pathetic performance of Solo and now (anticipated) ROS, Bob Iger
and the Disney brass are going to start pointing fingers. Kennedy's head should be the first to roll.

Have never seen a single Star Wars except the first half of Phantom Menace which I thought was so bad it's only the second movie I walked out of before it was over. Maybe now that I have Disney+ I'll give them a whirl.
wow. It’s truly too late for you. You’ll never get the children’s nostalgia value.
Ironically, the SOP for a viewing of the Skywalker saga is now to skip Episode I altogether.Have never seen a single Star Wars except the first half of Phantom Menace which I thought was so bad it's only the second movie I walked out of before it was over.
